The only problem is, the state attornies/feds don't press criminal charges on the person if they don't want to.

If every conversation among people of all political persuasions was exploited, you'd see a very different picture. You really think conversations among Tea Partiers, Democratic party drones, and other mainstream-type groups never bring up f

This is simply patching over the underlying problem - dilution in the money supply. There is no reason why countries like the US and Canada who have only become a lot wealthier in the last 200 years should have such inflation. Stop printing

I am going to get downvoted here, and WBC would say pretty nasty things about people like me. However, I have never heard anything to suggest that the Westboro Baptist Church are racist. In fact, the founder used to be civil rights lawyer,

I think the problem is the rabbit hole of self-delusion. 1. This is bad, and we all agree. 2. Something should be done about it. 3. Old white people (Republicrats and Democricuns) should do something about it. 4. That "something" can and ma

Exactly. Isn't the VPN provider sort of like the ISP? What if VPNs have the same privacy policies as the ISPs?

Stalin would probably say something similar about the Nazi camps. You weren't given a meal a day and a shirt on your back while you lived your days in Siberia under the German system. Plus, most of the people in the Gulags had subversive po

Aren't Mozilla products open source? Someone should offer a pro-privacy flavor which has these settings by default.

We have justification and apologies for violence right here! This is part of the problem, because similar arguments from the other side will probably be grounds for well, you know what.

Matlab is considered MathWorks "property" because of the IP laws. These IP laws have jurisdiction over areas and peoples that are governed by the legislation that adopt these laws. Why would people who are not governed and protected by the

Does anyone have any facts on the case? What software did he write, where was it released, which website used it, and what evidence was presented for the other charges?

You guys have got to integrate this with teachontablo or something similar. That would be simply awesome.

I actually had trouble watching the terminal velocity video on the front page. On an OSX 10.7.2. The video won't start. Could be something on the video though.

Thanks! I guess my question was, how do you differentiate between context clicks? Say you are a health insurance company. You could bid 30 bucks for a search click on a search of "self employed health insurance plans", and say 1 dollar for

That's interesting. Do you know How the bidding works for ads shown along with content? Like with blog posts, news stories, and in gmail. How do they bid on how close and likely to buy it is from the content?

by baltcode 15y ago
The cost per clicks are in the range of $2 all the way to $35! So the advertiser pays Google 30 bucks when one person clicks on their ad? That does not seem believable.

I agree. Though something like "build a personal rocket ship", like SpaceX or the lot doesn't sound too bad either. I am just disappointed that the civilian/exploration side of NASA isn't the big dream anymore.

From inspiring kids to land on the moon and explore space, it goes down to this? Surely, there can be more productive ways to harness and encourage creativity and STEM. What about, say fuel efficient passenger planes, or cataloging cancer g

There has to be a better introductory to tree codes than this. One that doesn't assume you work in error correcting codes but can actually explain things in terms of basic math and information entropy.

What is a better use of time for communicating with Congress? Most people don't have time to set up an appointment and go to their offices. Writing a paper letter takes a lot more time, and then you have to find an envelope, stamps and go m

I agree, a "good" solution to this is hard. But I'd rather have a very bad solution right now, and if someone comes along and iteratively improves it, so much the better. Something like the text of the top 30 links + the ones you were readi

I thought this bill is for private-sector research, which NIH funded research is not. Or am I missing something in how the lawyers are going to twist this once it gets passed?

why the downvote? I thought some people might be concerned about clicking on a cryptome link and I thought this was a safer-looking link.
