Let me play the devil's advocate:

If you're convinced that this WILL cause discomfort, why are you asking people - which very well might be too polite/afraid/distracted to decline - if you can do that?

Aren't you, based on your very own impression and description of reclining, asking people if you can slap them every 10min for the rest of the flight?

(I dislike flying in general, and I never had to take a flight longer than 4.5 hours. I couldn't care less about the argument, but would probably lean towards the 'So my chair can be set back. I guess I use it as intended' position)
Most people I meet seem to be under the persuasion that China is evil, corrupt and dictatorial - a unique wielder of force and propaganda. And they also do not know much about the America's support of Chinese civil unrest or the self-actualized pockets of civil unrest.

Maybe there's a Venn Diagram of information bubble in there somewhere.

I agree. They would lie to get him home and if the government reneged on an agreement most Americans wouldn't really care so he would be doomed. I think political asylum in a Western European country would be his best option now. Hopefully Germany steps up and does this as I thought they were seriously considering doing so when his Russian visa was expiring but were pressure by the US not to help him.

Yes, please! From other peoples' descriptions, I can rationally understand what benefit Twitter brings them, but I have never been able to replicate that for myself.

I have always walked away, convinced that it's a real-time medium that requires constant attention, because I find it to be nigh impossible to read up on any discussion ex post facto.

That is especially true for any discussion with more than two participants — those are tree-ish in nature to me, and for the life of me I cannot figure out how anybody makes sense of them in Twitters one-dimensional chronological organisation.

Help please?

A slap with consent may be weird, but a slap without consent is battery. So, if one accepts your slap analogy, there's a good reason to ask consent.

I've always wondered if it would make sense to sunset all laws. I know there are laws that are uncontroversial, but if so then there wouldn't be a problem with getting them renewed.

On the other hand, many laws get passed and are uncontroversial when they are enacted but become controversial later. They ought to be up for re-discussion.

The President has the Constitutional power to issue pardons, it does not grant the President (whether the same President or any subsequent one, or anyone else for that matter) power to retract them.

Not to the extent that the new ones are covered within the scope of a Presidential pardon.

To the extent that could happen (at the hands of the government or otherwise) if he returned, it could happen if he didn't. Its not exactly like no one is ever killed -- including by the US Government -- outside of the United States.

If Snowden isn't punished then it will effectively encourage others to harm powerful interests. So there is incentive to punish Snowden from those who decide whether he will be.

>A plea bargain would require him admitting wrongdoing.

Even if you think he did good overall, he did so some wrong.

Much of what he leaked is unambiguously legal and exactly the sort of thing that the NSA is supposed to be doing.

Clearly legal:PPD-20, spying on China, Tempura/Upstream, Embassy spying, spying on Germany, spying on al Jeezera, various spying methods, etc. etc. etc.

lol...the Carl's Jr. BOGO offer would probably go a long ways toward teaching the average American who he even is.
He painted himself into a corner, and that's on him. There are a myriad of other ways he could have done this, but his intent was clear to damage the government more so than expose government surveillance.

Most of what he leaked has nothing to do with the government spying on its citizens. Most of the documents relate to how the US deals with its own international interests and how it protects those interests - right or wrong.

For this reason, he's not a patriot or a whistle blower. He's just another government employee who stole and released a ton of classified documents that did more damage to his own country than what he's been telling people about the NSA spying programs. And let's be honest, it was something most people already knew about anyways. His documents only confirmed a lot of what people already suspected. The only difference was his documents showed how deep the rabbit hole went.

In a few more years, nobody will care - let him rot in Siberia for all I care. All he did was weaken a country by his actions.
Yep. And this has a downside -- expats in Asia tend to complain about "never fitting in" -- but it comes with a bonus dose of forgiveness for all sorts of social problems that the locals have to worry about.

If you want women, minorities, foreign students to feel comfortable and secure, then arming self-entitled white males to strut around campus with deadly weapons for no reason other than pandering to their own deep insecurities is not the way to do it.
That's a really interesting way to go about it, I like that solution. I'll have to check the book out.
> "Depends. While i perhaps gave a poor example initially, consider the difference between SMB1 and SMB3.

The latter have all kinds of one off and crazy mechanics (walking behind the apparent background, a sun that attacks, windup shoes one and enter and exit) that keep the various worlds fresh, in part because they show off the greater understanding the developers have of how to work the hardware available."

For the most part, the evolution of game mechanics doesn't rely on improving hardware usage.

Using the SMB1 vs. SMB3 example, the ideas from SMB3 could've existed in SMB1, they might not have looked as good but they could've been done.

If the 'hardware enabling game mechanics' hypothesis was correct, every new console generation would be able to add new mechanics just by being faster. Taking 2D gaming as a whole, I'd suggest the horsepower needed for 2D gaming peaked around the Dreamcast/PS2 era, I don't envision any 2D game type being built that couldn't exist on those consoles.

If VR is to take off, gaming hardware will need to evolve, but beyond that we won't need new hardware to enable new game types anymore. VR/AR is the end of the road.

> I have no idea how the outsourcing firms get away with that.

They make job descriptions that only the immigrant worker could possibly fill, e.g. they demand that they have all the niche skills a candidate has that could possibly apply to the role, they demand that candidates are willing to work for the same pay in the same location and they do their best to advertise the position in places people won't look, like physical newspapers.

I also find that the prevailing wage information for software engineers is very low, at least when I've seen it on my own LCA forms it's been a lot lower than what I'm getting paid and I can easily see how other companies could abuse the process.
Build Credit With No Risk. If you have the funds, we extend the credit.

Every time you make a purchase, we check to see if you have the funds available. If you do, we extend the line of credit and immediately deduct the funds from your account. You build credit without ever going into debt. It's that simple.

Are whistleblowers allowed to blow their whistle to anyone? US has several whistleblower protection laws[1], but it seems to me that if you want protection from the law, you should report to the correct instances first, and then escalate from there. From Wikipedia:

> Fuck "seeking some sort of deal with his lawyers".

Why?

> A plea bargain would require him admitting wrongdoing.

A deal with his lawyers is not necessarily a plea bargain.

For instance, he could be granted transactional (sometimes called "total") immunity in exchange for testimony regarding matters related to the information released, either to support executive investigations into any potential illegalities or to support congressional investigations. While either is, perhaps, unlikely, they would constitute a "deal with his lawyers" that would not be a plea bargain or involve a admission of legal guilt; they'd also not be a pardon.
I used to feel that way until I heard Angelina Jolie speak on the issue.

I'm not going to google the quote right now but the heart of it is that when they care about an issue, their celebrity can bring more attention than the righteousness of the cause.

We have an abstract understanding of the fact that, in different parts of the world, people are facing hardship but a celebrity can get television cameras to show us what is happening.
It does in fact make a difference when the law prosecutes some but not others. That is how kings and dictators rule, by enforcing 'the law' selectively and in secret.
The standard answer is that there are not enough Americans with the skills they need willing to work for the wages they'd like to pay. Ideally (for employees) the inability to hire people at salary X would be a market signal that employers need to offer more money. The H1-B program is designed not to interfere with that signal, but it's widely believed that companies give lip service to the law and hire cheaper workers anyways.
I've just heard similar reports on French radio. For some reasons, they forgot to mention that nothing has changed concerning the surveillance of non-US citizens.

This leads to a question: in the movie Citizenfour, Snowden explains that the NSA uses british surveillance system when they need information that they can't legally obtain in the US. I'm wondering, under this new "freedom act", can the NSA legally query the british system to access information about US citizen?

Does anyone have resources about security/isolation best practices for running multiple applications on Kubernetes (or Mesos or similar)?

For instance in a non cloud-native app that runs in VM's, you might have one app per VM and have firewalls between different VM's that don't need to talk to each other. Then if a non-critical app got compromised and an attacker got remote execution or SQL injection or something they can't get to your other app servers or databases.

If all your apps are in a cluster, the non-critical compromised app might be running on the same host as a critical app, in which case the only thing keeping the attacker from your database credentials or other secrets is the docker container isolation which if I understand correctly is not assumed to be secure the way VM isolation is.

What are people doing to address this? Or are my assumptions wrong and it's not actually a problem to worry about? My initial impression with mesos was that you'd only use it if you're at big enough scale that you're running a huge number of instances of the same app or you're running a lot of different data processing tasks that all access the same data so no isolation is needed between them. Now I feel like I see Kubernetes being discussed frequently as a great way to run all your different microservices at any scale (e.g. "The Future of Deployment"), but I've never seen this aspect of security discussed.

Gone are the days when performance doubled every year.

> It doesn't need to be high, though, since the risk and reward is so high (failure means more lost, success is a life).

I think the risk:reward is often seen as higher than it should be even given the "going to hell" assumption, because the failure cost of the attempt is seen as capped at zero because alienation is not considered. This might make sense in a context where your particular door-to-door attempt was very likely to be the only exposure to Christianity that the target would ever have, but (since alienation of an unbeliever in that case would have the same effect as not making that particular door-to-door conversion attempt), but somewhat unlikely in the modern world.
This looks pretty neat -- however, do you use passphrases for your keys, and if so, how do you manage them? Only 2 obvious solutions spring immediately to mind - use the same (or none) pass for each key, or have a unique one per-key and some sort of separate password database with a master password.

At least, I can't imagine memorising enough unique passphrases for all the user/host combinations I currently have.

I'm hoping there's some clever built-in or easily added (like keychain/agent) way to secure individual keys on the filesystem without excess complexity when using them.
