Do data plans exist exist in the US that can make something like this not cost at least $20 or $30 a month? Like, something where you pay by the byte?

If so, I'd love to know about them. I have a half-dozen Opengear ACM5000 cell modems that I use to monitor telemetry. On average, I use 5 kilobytes per month - they wake up once a week or so and transmit a few hundred bytes.

Even on T-mobile's lowest data-only plan, it costs about $20/month per device.

The Median Isn't the Message (1985)
Could you elaborate? The most recent report I've seen, http://blog.wizsec.jp/2015/02/mtgox-investigation-release.ht..., says:

>Willy bought a very large amount of bitcoin on MtGox during the period of September 27 – November 30 during 2013 (and later, though the leaked logs end on this date), a total of over 250,000 BTC. There is a very high probability that this had a large effect on the price of bitcoin, opening up the possibility that this may have been a plan to manipulate the market rather than (or in addition to) fraudulently acquiring bitcoins.

and

>There are even some suspicious incidents where Willy becomes absent and soon afterwards the market "corrects" itself to a lower price level.
If controlled for factors such as social status, income, education statistics indicate that migrants are neither more nor less criminal than germans - a fact that I personally do not find surprising. Certainly there's now more crimes in absolute numbers since there are more migrants, but well - that's not surprising either. We also do have sufficient "european" crime to around, the mafia, east european gangs breaking into flats etc, and on top we have sufficient amounts of good old german crime - we're good at tax evasion, cheating on libor rates etc. All in all I'm not afraid that migrants will push german criminals out of their jobs.

I'm early GenX (born 1965). I feel more cultural bond with people 15 years younger than I do with people 5 years older (Baby Boomers). The divide is really powerful for me.

My daughter is 21 and very politically active. She feels the Millennial line strongly as well. She once recounted a conversation she had about careers and job-hunting with her Boomer grandfather. He started giving advice, but realized he'd only ever done two job interviews in his life, from college to retirement. He had no clue what life was like for her generation.
I think it's important in policy discussions to distinguish "simple" and "easy" as concepts. Needless to say, it would not be easy to end and unravel the drug war. As a concept and goal, however, it is a simple decision.

> What will all of those local police departments do without the 'easy' money from the government?

Perhaps they could attempt to solve and prevent crimes involving violence and fraudulent behavior, which theoretically is the reason they exist in the first place.

And the idea that the war on drugs is a revenue-positive endeavor is so preposterous I am not sure how to even address it.

> We have a system of rules that must be enforced equally, for the good of all of us.

Off the top of my head, here are some ways that laws have been broken:

* By refusing to sit at the back of the bus.

* By refusing to pay taxes on tea.

* By housing Jewish refugees.

* By helping runaway slaves.

* By marrying someone of a different ethnicity than your own.

* By declaring a country's independence.

* By telling people what their government was doing.

* By writing software that could be covered by patents.

Not all of these had or could have had a resolution in courts. Breaking laws is sometimes the only way to make any progress.

In conclusion, laws should be broken when they are unjust. For the good of us all.

I found this via Google (which isn't much): https://foseti.wordpress.com/2011/05/21/the-war-on-drugs/

When the author was asked in the comments to expound on the thesis he just provided a link to:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warren_Court#Due_process_and_r...

I think the crux is in the last paragraph of that section, although the link to the War on Drugs is not made explicit:

> Conservatives angrily denounced the "handcuffing of the police." Violent crime and homicide rates shot up nationwide in the following years; in New York City, for example, after steady to declining trends until the early 1960s, the homicide rate doubled in the period from 1964 to 1974 from just under 5 per 100,000 at the beginning of that period to just under 10 per 100,000 in 1974. Controversy exists about the cause, with conservatives blaming the Court decisions, and liberals pointing to the demographic boom and increased urbanization and income inequality characteristic of that era. After 1992 the homicide rates fell sharply.

I think it's entirely reasonable that the War on Drugs began as a reaction to rising crime rates.

My two additional bits: I've often heard that the US is a little exceptional in that it approaches the problem of "police doing bad things" by throwing "tainted" evidence out and mostly not holding the police accountable for their actions, whereas other countries allow the "tainted" evidence to stand but then allow some sort of proceeding against the police to address the bad behavior. It seems from my limited understanding that the US approach stands on the Warren Court.

It's interesting that both aspects of the US approach (War on Drugs, shielding the police from liability) are under fire. I wonder if these things are as controversial in other Western countries -- if not maybe the Warren Court really does deserve some scrutiny. I'm not sure I'd go so far as to say that the Warren Court caused the police protectionism, rather that it tacitly allowed it to persist with frameworks that mostly provide indirect corrective feedback to police misbehavior.
I'm glad to see that Snowden gets to witness the changes that his revelations have initiated.

The failure of governments worldwide to protect their citizens from being spied upon by foreign intelligence services is distressing. Thanks to Snowden, everyone is aware of it and the administrations can no longer pretend to be clueless.
Great programmer-like answer - technically correct to a pedantic degree, misses any subtelety by reducing it to some heuristic for dealing with complexity, and ends with a point that isn't new or controversial to anyone on the subject. :-)

I guess I labeled you as programmer-like there.
In a system of laws, it is bad (unjust and in other ways problematic) to give particular people special exceptions. Does that tell you which "good" is being talked about? The "all of us" is all the people covered by a particular system of laws.

> We have a system of rules that must be enforced equally, for the good of all of us. We can't make exceptions because someone is popular or because we agree with their motives.

Oh yeah, like the former General turned CIA Director who provided classified material to his mistress/biographer and was able to avoid felony charges?

If the fate of US security was undermined by Snowden, we're fucked anyway. Everything revealed from a threat POV thus far has been predicted by security experts in the public domain since the 90s, and by the government itself in warnings about travel in China. I think the reaction to the Snowden documents makes it very clear that there is no bright line from a moral POV. The fact that the government hasn't really been able to discredit him is evidence in my mind that he is what he says he is.

Snowden will almost certainly end up imprisoned as part of some sort of deal with the Russians someday. History may bring clarity (assuming it isn't classified forever or destroyed), but some kangaroo court or "jury of peers" certainly won't.
I politely declined their offer based on a lot of thought and a lot of consideration of your answers -- thank you all.

They texted me, asking for a decision. I texted back, letting them know that I'll pass but that I'll meet with them once a week for a little while to help them refine their MVP so they can communicate it to a developer. I figured it was a friendly offering of my expertise. I told them to feel free to utilize me in that regard if they'd like.

Instead of identifying the friendliness, one replied telling me that I'm either fully in or I'm out, implying that my offer was too half-assed for them. I was clear in saying that I passed on their offer to be one of their founders, so I didn't really understand what he wasn't clear on -- I plainly offered to help them refine their MVP strictly so they can execute as seamlessly as they could once in contact with another developer. I told them that when I received his response.

The other still hasn't said anything. And the one who initially responded hasn't replied to my last message. I'm assuming they're mad, although, that's not a very friendly way to reply, even after being rejected.

Now, I'm really glad I decided not to take on the role.

WHY THEY KILLED BOBBI KRISTINA AND WHITNEY HOUSTON
I'm wondering if the issue here is not 'the economy is picking up, let's invest elsewhere', but rather that investors don't have investment vehicles to put their money into other areas of the economy that need it most. The public markets are booming, and so is the tech sector, which I am guessing has a greater chance of a liquidity event than businesses in most other industries. While these two areas are doing fine, the small business sector, which is the largest portion of our economy, continues to struggle to get access to capital. Many of these small businesses could generate 20-30% returns, but investors have no way to easily get their money back out of the business - they'll never IPO, and a private acquisition is rare. This lack of liquidity in one of the largest asset classes of our economy seems to be the major bottleneck we're facing right now.

EDIT: I should add....the JOBS act and Crowdfunding are giving small businesses and entrepreneurs more options for finding funding, but getting a return on that investment still remains a question. In addition, crowdfunding as an industry is somewhere maybe in the billions, whereas the financial services sector is in the trillions, so the impact is still relatively small, although growing fast.

There's no way to advance a discussion by simply stating there is a correlation between crime and race. What solutions come from that? Genocide? Internment?

Call me a skeptic, but it's hard to imagine there are still people that will preorder hardware in this manner. So many people have gotten burned by Kickstarter or Indiegogo or even products by established companies like the infamous and elusive KarmaGo[1].

Maybe there is an alternative funding source you can use to build your initial run of products and instill confidence that it is actually achievable?

That would also help you understand how long the development and production cycle for hardware is - something that continuously surprises a lot of teams.

Similarly how a military is designed to potentially fight against other nations, but is usually not doing that all time in an all-out fashion, intelligence agencies have their place but should not necessarily spy indiscriminately on everyone, all the time.

> They don't want "viable", they want blockbuster.

That may be what they want, but that's not all they make. To wit, plenty of shows and films (indeed, a large majority in number) aren't blockbusters, and don't appear to have been intended as such.

Films that are expected to make 1.5bn, but only make 0.5bn are failures in that regard, sure - but that doesn't mean that there isn't a large market for films that "only" make 0.5bn.
What integration of the curriculum usually entails is bringing Language Arts and mathematics into other subjects. By analogy, if you want to integrate coding into primary school then you have to pick encodings that are integrable. Logo, Scratch, Python, C, Cobol, whatever aren't because you can't really use them in Language Arts without a real stretch of the term integration and a lot of pretending that Logo or Cobol isn't a force fit in a language arts class...it's hard to write a poem in Perl that compiles.

The way to integrate coding is to pick encodings that extend the ordinary tasks. The obvious extension of Language Arts is HTML because presentation is part of what primary schools teach and HTML is highly accessible and doesn't require any special tools.

The less obvious extension of mathematics is J, which is simply an alternative to languages designed for the limitations of 1970's era hardware in the form of hand calculators. Forty years ago, the hand calculator focused on accuracy over hand calculations rather than extending the possibilities of numerical manipulation. But summing a list of numbers should be a basic operation...and in mathematics it is - Σ.
Which is still greater than the ideal of 0%.
