My sympathies for the FBI's concern about people being "beyond the law" is lessened a great deal given the past decade of revelations of illegal actions at FBI forensic centers, and the complete lack of prosecutions, not to m

Totally true, but on the other hand, the first mile will be encrypted for a lot more connections: "Yesterday, there were about 2 million sites active on the Internet that supported encrypted connections. By the end of the day today, we

That's an interesting hypothesis. Can you give some examples, that an individual in poverty, could use to get rich quick-- but only if they lacked empathy? I'm assuming these are things that would not land them in jail (because o

What economics is he lacking? Are you arguing that the economy is zero sum?

One person lacked two of those factors, the other lacked one. In both cases they perceived those, and other factors as making the possibility of success unlikely. I managed to convince them otherwise, because in part, I have a similar backg

I agree. I was trying to say that what was obvious to me were things they didn't think of. That part of the problem is that people get conditioned to see their horizon as narrow. It cost me nothing to help these people (Really, I did

That's true, but at least in the USA-- where I've worked with two people who were in poverty when we met-- you can turn your life around. In my experience, with hard work on their part and a little bit of guidance it took them ab

I think this depends a lot on the country and how much economic opportunity there is. In some countries- like china in the past, for instance- you couldn't start a business without favor from political elites. If you live in the USA,

إذا قمت بإجراء القائمة البيضاء فقط اللاتيني-1، انها الإثنية جدا. ربما يمكن للمرء أن جعل القائمة السوداء فقط من أحرف التحكم؟ ولكن في الحقيقة، يجب أن التعليمات البرمجية دعم اللغة العربية وغيرها من اللغات اليسار إلى اليمين، اليابانية، الخ

如果你只有Latin-1的白名单，这是非常种族优越感。也许我们可以做的只有控制字符的黑名单？不过说真的，你的代码应该支持阿拉伯语和其他左到右的语言，日语等。

Hey if the FBI were obeying the law, then I might have some concern for them. But they aren't. They're going out there, organizing groups of people, setting them up with terrorist plots, providing them with material and financial

Apple is not based in Ireland. Apples European business is based in Ireland. The idea that the US government is owed taxes for transactions that happen in other countries is kind of absurd. What if the British declared that you owe them in

Except they raised the fees for doing so something like %1,000 in the intervening period. Remember, you don't get to just renounce. You have to petition the government for permission to have a hearing to renounce, and then you have to

True but the IRS is also off the straight and narrow as they have gone after political opponents of the president, disappeared evidence in the ensuing investigation, etc. etc.

Fair perspective. I would say the true blame lies with the people who support all of these evil laws, usually out of a belief that they will profit from them.

You don't do business with the USA. And increasingly, that's what they are doing. It's a small effect now since these are relatively new laws, but they are growing every year, and their impact will ramp up exponentially.

You're right on all accounts except the intent of the policies. The polices were intended for people like you. They are popularly SOLD as being against "rich tax evaders", but government, always and everywhere, wants more a

Engineers can learn business. There's very little that is difficult in business. Have yet to meet a business guy who could learn software development.

Assuming your description is accurate, you should have had %95-%98 of the equity of that startup, and all ownership of the code. She was defrauding you (says she's taking class, so you enroll, turns out it was a lie, says she'll

The galaxy note is made out of plastic, it wouldn't bend, it would break, if subjected to the same forces. This is like antenna gate-- typical Apple bashing pretending like there's some sort of defect when there isn't. And l

This is where Apple really adds value and why they have their own silicon design teams. Some of the blocks: -- M7 motion chip -- Image processing chip to support camera -- (I suspect) audio processing chip to do compression and feature extr

Unless they specified a date, then putting your previous years full income seems a reasonable answer to the question. In this case, I would do nothing and just see if they issue the card or not. It's not like they have any means of kno

So, basically you just called the startup community and libertarians childish and petulant. Have you got something more than name calling?

Yes there are social mechanisms in the honest use of the word- that is, when someone proves to be a scammer they lose business in a free market. But otherwise a free market is an unregulated market. "very strong state control"
