It seems like you're grasping at straws. Good luck finding a single human anywhere that isn't biased in some way. I'm also not aware of any Libertarian Cabal documents stating that nobody with vaguely libertarian views can have a religion, or that in having a religion one is so tainted as to be unable to compartmentalize one's personal and professional lives.
> I believe, they asked the Republican candidates whether they support a stronger Patriot Act or not. Like all the other 4 or 5 other candidates tried to out-match each other in how much stronger they would like the Patriot Act and other such laws to be.

It's worth thinking about the significance of that. These guys aren't doing it because it's wildly unpopular with voters.

On this issue I think Rand Paul has been quite consistent. He was among only a handful of Senators against the FISA Amendments Act renewal from 2012, when he proposed a "4th amendment act" that would require a warrant for all data requests:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CIyLlXBcbjo

https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2012/12/why-we-should-all-care...

He's been against the Patriot Act as well:

http://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2011/02/rand-pau...

He filibustered John Brennan's CIA nomination and the idea that the US government can assassinate an American with drones:

http://www.politico.com/story/2013/03/rand-paul-filibuster-j...

And he supports abolishing the TSA:

http://www.csmonitor.com/USA/Politics/Decoder/2012/0504/Sen....

This guy has been preaching this stuff for years and voted like that as well.

Obama on the other hand came out of nowhere, told us nice things we wanted to hear and then did a 180 when he became president. Oh, and just before he won his first mandate he voted for the Patriot Act's renewal while still in Senate - all while he was promoting an "end to illegal mass surveillance" in his campaign.

I'm just saying, at least on this issue, he might be a little different than Obama. I would've still preferred his dad much more...but I'm not really seeing anyone fighting for this major issue. It's not a "privacy" issue...it's a liberty issue - I think that stuff used to be pretty important for Americans, no? I'm not seeing Elizabeth Warren, not seeing Bernie Sanders, nor Hillary Clinton pushing against the surveillance state from the Democratic side.
Well that seems so futuristic to me.

Well, there is also something called "Christian libertarianism".

Please leave your anti-science anti-intellectual comments outside of hacker news.

"FED was instrumental in making USD the most stable currency in the last 100 years" - baseless argument. comparing fiat money to fiat money says nothing about efficacy of fiat money.

"Too bad when California deregulated their energy market..." - http://www.tylervigen.com/ Furthermore, where does this money appear from? If the government makes energy cheaper by paying for it by taxing you more, you are just lying to yourself.

"anti-abortion" - please explain why third-trimester abortions should be allowed. the baby can live by being born at that point, and the mother has had plenty of time to deal with the issue. but sure, you can disagree with that, and I won't debate it here.

So hey, maybe you disagree with some of his positions after you found out what they actually are. Is that enough to say, you shouldn't care at all about privacy, the military industrial complex, foreign entanglements that make us less safe, more drones strikes on civilians, and a corrupt, racist criminal justice system? I recommend becoming informed and making a rational decision about such things instead of lying to yourself.
Because if there's something really bad on my device, I'd be better off telling the cops "I forgot the password" and risking possible contempt of court rather than them seeing the actual evidence and getting a far worse sentence.
Don't you mean federalism? A lot of people seem to use it to signify states rights and a balance of power. Such as the historian podcaster Dan Carlin.

Edit- I can't reply below but you are using the term incorrectly and in the context of Anti-Federalists from the 18th century. From Wikipedia on federalism:

> In contrast, Europe has a greater history of unitary states than North America, thus European "federalism" argues for a weaker central government, relative to a unitary state. The modern American usage of the word is much closer to the European sense.
I think pretty much everyone (including Paul) would agree that the federal government needs to keep a state religion from forming in a state.

Laws related to abolition, marriage, etc. is not necessarily religious, so claiming the states should make their own decisions seems fair.

Also, he's a Republican (for better or worse), he'll almost certainly get a large portion of Libertarian vote though (which accounts for 2 - 5% of the population per state).
In the sense that I am using the term, an action is productive when it moves a person closer to achieving their goal or goals.
It doesn't rain often, maybe four days a month. The sky is usually pretty clear. Summers are in the upper 80s. Winters are in the 30s. The growing season is from late May to late September because there are random cold snaps during the spring and fall. It's really dry, so you might get nosebleeds on visiting, but you can get used to it in a few days. The winds can be crazy: it can get up to 70 MPH every couple years, but 30 MPH happens relatively often. We haven't had a good snow in a few years, because of the drought in California.
Do I think it's possible? Absolutely. Do I think it you're reducing your chance of success without trying? Absolutely.

Coming from a marketing side I may be biased hence the upfront disclosure, though here are my thoughts from the many times I've encountered this debate. I've come across many of the more technical managers/execs who believe if you build good product customers will come and treat marketing as an expense, not an investment. I agree here to an extent for differentiated technical products being sold to technical people. Engineers like to evaluate and consider products closely. More information is better (to a point) when selling to technical people and sales department is likely a better area of investment. And while technical people may take this approach to everyday products, the mass don't.

Most people are not technical. If you are trying to sell product/service to the mass markets they typically buy what is 1) Placed in front of them , 2) At a perceived value price point 3) With brief & easy to understand core product messaging.

Form this, for the masses, good marketing can make or break a business. And remember marketing is more than a pretty website or some blinking banner ads. Marketing is many fields, one of the most important and least discussed being distribution. This is often given little attention and IMO a key component to get right. I would say typically a weaker product with great distribution has a better chance of success than a great product with weaker distribution. Think ASUS vs Dell, VHS vs Beta Max, HD DVD vs Blue ray, IE vs Opera Browser etc.

All this aside, people simply need to track ROI and be open minded with marketing. I've been in the position of showing a shrinking department a marketing test that a $1.00 spent on tested activities will return $1.30 in profit. Some technical execs stopped further spend going forward being stern holders to the build a better product and people will come thinking, and marketing is some cheap trick they are better than. It is just stupid rigid thinking. End of the day do some testing with various marketing channels. If your marketing efforts whatever they be can produce more profit than spend, do it. If the tests cannot show any results, then close down this as any bad investment. Overall, given the plethora of success you see with advertising, anyone would be a fool for not actually trying and basing their decision on philosophy vs fact.
> FED was instrumental in making USD the most stable currency in the last 100 years.

If you mean "most stable" in the sense that all the others fared even worse, I guess I can't argue with that. But I'm not sure the word "stable" is the best one to describe the USD since the Fed was created. A "stable" currency would not, I think, have inflated by a factor of about 30 (especially since, before the Fed was created, the USD's value was relatively constant, on average, over time).
While not debating the facts of your statement, I would contend that the only legitimate exercise of an owner's rights in the context of a corporation are to seek profit through commerce. Political speech, religious beliefs, and other "personhood" concepts are already granted to corporate owners as individuals.

While Rand Paul is not a libertarian (this is a concept promoted by the media to make him seem radical), your understanding of abortion issues is quite off. The real debate about abortion is over when life that deserves protecting begins. There is nothing else anyone disagrees with. If the fetus was an animal PETA would be the only ones having issue; if the fetus was dead noone would have issue with removing it. Some people believe that because a baby is not yet outside its mother, it has no rights. Other believe that until a baby is named, it has no rights. That is what the issue is about, and thinking otherwise you might as well not engage because you will go in circles all day.

As far as same-sex marriage, Rand Paul thinks it is not the federal government's responsibility to regulate that. Removing regulation over social issues from government IS a very libertarian philosophy.
Yeah, and Nixon had a secret plan to end the war. Twice.

I never said libertarians can't be religious. Rather, it's a fundamental tenant of libertarianism that you should not use the organ of government to enforce your religious views on others.

On numerous occasions, Paul has referenced religious motivations for creating social policies. For example, he is opposed to same-sex marriage because it "offends him."

Paul is not a libertarian. He's just a standard anti-Federalist Republican.

Rather than pre-empting his "defenders'" comments, how about linking us to where he says he's against gay marriage and letting us judge for ourselves based on his words.
I bill daily, in 8-hour blocks. All those hours belong to my employer, and I do as much work as needed. Any more work than that needs to allocate more 8-hour blocks.

I know that being a salaried employee is different, but if you're letting people work you into 10-hour days, don't.
I think it makes him a politician more than anything. The guy has an MD from Duke; I doubt he is as religious as he seems.

The reality is, there is little upside in a Republican primary for saying he thinks gays should marry or for promoting a nuanced view on abortion. Just like his dance on saying he will increase defense spending after first proposing to cut it.
The Finnish education system is consistently praised for its great results. But in addition to innovative educational methods there may be an underlying advantage that Finland has over many other countries - its language. I read a study (can't find a link at the moment) that compared the time it takes children to learn to read and write English versus Finnish at the elementary school level. It was about three years for American school children to learn English and one year for Finnish children to learn Finnish. The Finnish language is apparently very regular with a simple grammar and small number of exceptions (I don't know; that's what the study said). The result is that Finnish kids move on to more advanced subjects sooner and have less friction in their learning due to the language.
This is my litmus test for all future elections until this issue is resolved. There is and will never be a candidate that reflects all or even most of my positions. But, if a candidate is willing to unequivocally say that they will end domestic surveillance programs and uphold the 4th amendment, they will get my vote over anyone else who shows even the slightest hesitation, period.

I just asked if I could work 20% less for 20% less pay, and they agreed. Your mileage may vary, the company I work for is pretty cool.
Also, Finland has a way smaller number of people that constitutes their society, so I'd think it's dramatically easier to make changes. Finland, for instance, has fewer people than NYC -- and only about twice as many as Chicago.

So it's a bit hard (in my opinion) to compare it to the US, let along North America, which consists of the following countries (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_sovereign_states_and_de...). I guess you meant the US though :)
There is no upgrade path from OS Luna (previous release) to Freya. Their own web site states, "elementary OS Luna users should back up their data and perform a clean install". Given that the operating system is built on Ubuntu I should be able to upgrade from Luna to Freya without too many issues.

Sounds like the ultimate non-Newtonian fluid to me. Also, since objects gain mass as they approach the speed of light, a better visualization might be a falling through air, where drag is mass and terminal velocity is the speed of light. It is not "slowing" so much as it is making going faster progressively more difficult.

I don't think Rand Paul is a libertarian (I was simply responding to the parent).

As for abortion, even if you consider the fetus a "person," I don't see how a libertarian would make a good case for the government to force the mother to continue to sustain and provide for it.

> Removing regulation over social issues from government IS a very libertarian philosophy.

Delegating to the states is very different from removing the regulation. The libertarian thing to do would be to ban such regulation.

I don't do much threaded programming - I think it's come up once in my career? (and fortunately at the time I was pairing with a Java guru) - so I don't completely understand the issues here.

What many here are asserting is basically a form of individual sovereignty, that a person should have the ability to create and share information that the government cannot read. This will never happen. The government is always going to assert that your rights are contingent on the government's ability to violate those rights if it thinks it has sufficient cause according to some standard. Many of you are arguing that the government should completely give up that ability for regular crime that probably happens thousands of times across the country every day.

You are now thinking, what about encryption, PGP, passphrases, I have a legal right to not have to give those up, don't I? Yes, we are very lucky that in the United States the Supreme Court has decided that you don't have to give up a password. But this was because it used to be that a password didn't actually protect very much and the legal system hasn't caught up yet. Lock combinations are meaningless when the government can just crack the safe, and passwords to email are meaningless when they can just compel the email service to cough up the mail. The court's aware of PGP, but the times it actually hasn't been able to get the data through other means is currently small so it's still not worth the political battle. When the device that most people can carry around in their pockets is sufficiently secure that nobody can get the contents without compelling the owner to give up the passphrase, legislation will be introduced for backdoor access or the Supreme Court will rule that you have to give up the passphrase. That is why device LE access is, believe it or not, a compromise. They are willing to overlook nerds using PGP because that's still niche, but encrypted unbreakable devices are an existential threat to the government's ability to control everyone's life for good or for ill.

I still think it needs to be fought as long as possible, but I am under no illusions that we will ultimately lose.

No, federalism is what led to having a federal government in the first place (binding together the states into a nation).

The anti-federalists advocated for states rights and against a strong federal government.

> I don't see why any reasonable developer would choose building the same app on multiple platforms over building it once on a standardized platform and having it just work everywhere.

Platforms have different characteristics: different input methods, different display sizes, different common use cases, different interface conventions and standards, different conventions for connection to online platforms, ...

If you’re making a self-contained game for iOS and Android (for example) then sure, something identical across platforms is better. In the case of a general “app”, you’ll get a better result if you design the interface from first principles on each platform.

There is something I love about the law, a concept named balance of hardship. If the testimony will do damage to this person, while on the other hand only inflicting slight inconveniences for the business, than again don't do it.

"Along with more workers clocking just below 30 hours in their primary jobs, CPS data show the number working 20-29 hours in secondary jobs rose 105,000, or 7.6%, from a year ago.
Other Labor Department data also suggest an ObamaCare effect. The average retail workweek for nonsupervisors shrank to a three-year low of 30 hours in July, down from a post-recession peak of 30.8 hours in January 2012. That's the sharpest decline in the retail workweek since the early 1980s."
