Notifying the world (and hence Snowden) that his passport is revoked is by definition telling secrets that aid the enemy. The government has got to.

It's both. If you are going to use a cloud service, you have to trust both the provider and the government where they operate. (With the exception of things like tarsnap).

He's not looking for a free lunch -- he's looking for specific market ideas. Also, while I sort of agree about the "no such thing as passive income" point, I think he just means 1-2 hours a week level passive.

at 1:02:30 "Does the technology exist at the NSA to record american's phone calls, or read their emails?" "No" There's something weird going on -- this seems too far off from Snowden's reports to be true.

Maybe an ATM withdrawal near the bus depot? Giving a hobo your old credit card instead of burning it?

Given the love of authority, and OPs seeming inability to tell the difference between valid and invalid syllogisms, my money's on Bush-worshipping :p

Yeah. That was the paragraph that put me over the top too. Blaming the vicim doesn't make any sense here. "The reason I don't tell anyone outside my family anything is that I'm afraid my sister will tell them"

Wow -- that does make me happy. Thanks for the link! (Also: Pascal?! I guess I can't complain -- I'm just glad this exists :)

"A" for effort, but I won't be happy until something like this also obscures who you are talking to.

Depending on the variety, sure. 60 hours a week really isn't that stressful. You could probably get there with less total stress by outsourcing cooking, cleaning, etc and working in 3 hour chunks with 1 hour breaks in between. Remember that

As someone with a comment history that could be called combative I (unsurprisingly?) disagree. I'm mostly a lurker. I check HN maybe once a day to see what people are thinking about in web tech / entrepreneurship circles. I comment maybe on

From experience, it's quite possible to achieve 150% utilization...

because a terra file is a lua file, so lua functions are allowed / encouraged. a terra function denotes a region of code with (slightly) different rules (arrays indexed at 0, use of C apis, etc). Making all of lua low level is interesting,

Hey, so speaking as someone who has tried and failed to get support from Google in the past, can you tell me the right way to complain to Google about such things? (Who to email, which webpage I submit the request at, or whatever the offici

This should be the top comment. One of the explicit reasons for the protocol isn't met by the protocol.

Those are factory methods because I think OptimizedPage.fromFile(pathName); reads cleaner than new OptimizedPage(pathName); Do you think there's a real difference (besides readability) for preferring a factory method to a co

Re >2. Do no work in the constructor The author doesn't propose a solution here, so I'm worried he's thrown out the baby with the bath water. Yes, it's true that you should have no File IO in a constructor when it violates the SRP. At

We could make prosecutorial bullying an issue in the next election... right? Sigh. Maybe that's just me not being jaded enough :p

This is a peculiar essay. I think if you're going to debunk an old saying, you first have to have an appreciation for why existed in the first place. What was running through the mind of the person that originally came up with it. So, befor

I think UX success is not measured in how many people you've already inflicted a bad design on, but instead by how many you avoid hurting in the first place. Why not make the rap explanations look different than a style lots of sites use

Given two candidates (for a C programming position), I would of course prefer those who know the syntax. Both because that's one less thing they need to learn before they can become productive, and because knowing C's syntax is indicative o

This view is even more correct now that "what is the speed of sound" is only a google search away. Maybe Edison only asked these questions because of how long it can take to look something up in a book. For example, would you hire a program

If he'd charged enough for his final trip, he would have arrived without problems. Why do you think Elon would be blaming anyone in that situation?

If you read the article, Broder ignored repeated warnings to stop and use a charging station...

I'll third this. Here are his quotes from the article about Broder's motivation: > [for why he didn't fully charge:] He wanted to show the real world experience of a real driver, who might not want to endure the hour and a half it takes
