Yes, I understand but I honnestly don't see how it can be possible to detect misbehaviors or threats without surveilliance. There is a dilemma there I can't yet dealth with. Surveilliance methods are easy to defeat once you know h

So well. And what if terrorist or people with evil goal or activity use this system ? These types of services solve only a little piece of the equation. I now also tend to think that people focusing only on privacy are individualists. A goo

There is indeed no other way than to trust the governmnet, but the tools and means to verify should be there too, and they aren't. We should not accept to be forced into blindly and naively trust the government in a claimed democracy.

Micro-managed depends on the level of detail of the "what". Engineers should be given high level directives but should be autonomous to execute them. I guess especially in a startup context where there is so much to do with too fe

I'm surprized there are very few apps presented from a user centric point of view. "This app is a ..." bad, "Make better ..." good. This makes it clear and easy to grab how the app will contribute to make my life be

The problems will be solved through education and giving people a second chance. I mean a real second chance. US Justice has turned into a self promotion race through populism by exagerating charges and sentenses. Trials and jailing has tu

But that's why the alledged driver of Ben Laden is apparently in Guantanmo. In the US a Taxi driver can apparently be sentenced for many tens of years in prison. This is why my impression is that USA is going wako! Now that the US is e

I definitely don't think laisser faire strategy is the right strategy. A back pressure is required for educational purpose. The problem is that the back pressure in US is in general far too much for demagogic purpose. The educational p
