I think this issue is of a huge importance, not only to mankind but specifically to those of us working in the tech industry. The technology they are using to create a massive dragnet for our data has only become possible relatively recentl

It is a major issue. People need to be able to play and tinker. As a child/teenager I didn't have money to pay for servers online but I still wanted to mess with that stuff. My ISP didn't enforce the no-servers rule so I was

The USPS reportedly has some very expensive machines that can read letters without opening them now. I believe it was Russell Tice that said that, though I can't find the specific source at the moment. But it's technical feasible

It's very interesting to think about if Snowden is actually a part of a larger group and is just the front man for leaking what they want out there, regardless of their motivation. So far he's been presented as a lone wolf with as

An NSA release that is confirmed by another party such as Senator Wyden, Rand Paul, ACLU or EFF. Realistically I'm not sure what the NSA would share with anyone that could be conclusive. But a logical explanation of how the NSA gets in

Google continuing to deny that their is a dragnet is not evidence that their is no dragnet. If there was a dragnet it is very likely that they legally are not allowed to admit it as per terms of the court order. There's nothing Google

But he's not even denying that they directly collect information from those companies. It could be that the slideshow is misleading and PRISM is not the collection program but just the interface to the databanks from the collection pro

But if they were give similar court order terms as under the Verizon court order wouldn't he legally have to lie or violate the court order? Or just not give a comment, but no comment on this would implies guilt to a lot of people so l

Which seems to be the same conclusion as those working on autonomous vehicles right now since no one has announced when they plan to make consumer models available. The only real take away I got from this article is that the NHTSA is active

I assume availability sites like http://www.canistream.it/ use their API. I don't know why you wouldn't want to share data that can help you acquire more customers for much cheaper than a lot of other routes for acquiring new customers. N

While I agree this does seem to just be a law firm trying to make some money, Heroku did directly lie to developers about Cedar stack's routing being "intelligent" when it is indeed random. New Relic's plugin was pretty quickly updated to i

I think that depends on your process and team culture. My current team is remote and we aren't fragmented. For most remote teams all it seems to take is a daily status meeting and a chat room.

With your bar example what crime could you charge the bar owner with? It's a very sleazy thing to do but I don't know of any laws in the United States that it violates. If the ex-boyfriends took the photos than they own copyright to them an

Negotiate for the removal of these clauses from your contract and don't sign it if they won't remove them. Sometimes this may mean passing on a job but if everyone did this then employers wouldn't try to get away with it.

It's doubtful that they could directly compete as is. Amazon has done well with their services because they eat their own dog food. From everything I read Bezos basically forced them to build this system and consume it for Amazon's own need

Gruber is a great writer but a terrible reviewer. His recent writing completely lacks any balance. It's obvious that he loves Apple and doesn't give a fair review. I don't have any issue with people liking Apple products but I don't underst

Isn't it very normal for cities to support companies that they want to come into their city? Whether it's a factory or some other sort of service I don't see what the problem is. If the city government thinks it is a company worth doing wha

But if it was open source and we knew exactly what it was capable of it would be easier to pass legislature that restricts it and makes certain uses of it illegal. This stuff is coming one way or another and wouldn't you rather it be proper
