Remember when Goldman lost some of their trading software? The US government couldn't move fast enough to arrest the guy(Aleynikov ). Time for Huawei to go to the police and ask to for the same. Someone should go to jail, and there will be billion dollar lawsuits. Huawei is a massive, mufti-billion dollar a year company and their source code does have significant value. Huawei has be hacked and has been damaged. If the police do nothing, then change the laws. The next time a Goldman Sachs gets hacked, don't prosecute. Don't extradite some kid from a foreign country to face face prosecution here.

We are the US. One thing that makes us different from the Chinese Communist party is that Chinese Communist party does what it wants and only applies the law when convenient. We do not. We believe in equal protection form the government and equal application of the laws. An American company caught polluting in China will be shown no mercy. A Chinese company polluting in China will come to a quiet, negotiated solution or face no charges at all. This is a key difference between us and them. If the US government really is no better than they are, we need to rethink everything up to dissolving the government.

But Java now has "critical new features, including Lambda expressions". Java really didn't work without Lambda expressions. Now I can FINALLY get a Java "hello world" to compile and run! Yippee.

(ok, so Lambda expressions are cool, but are they critical?)

One could ask: after Bernie Madoff how could you ever trust a fund manager again?

At some point Visa or Bank of America will start exchanging bit coins and change very high fees. They will have the same internal controls they use for the rest of their business. We don't need any innovation. The old processes work today and will work in the future. We need some company who knows how to run a transactional financial service to set up a service for bit coins. This does not exist today.

Will this be activated by simply logging into someone else's, oops. I mean, _MY_ Apple/Google account and filling out a form? No reason why. Just wondering.

As a private pilot, doing short hops in your own plane is nice. You skip the humiliation of the TSA.

Unless you own a jet, longer flights are hard to do in a private plane. Range and speed limit how far is practical to travel in a few hours on your own.

I will remind you that Barry Bonds went to jail for lying to Congress. They didn't hesitate to throw him in jail.

Either throw Clapper in jail or rewrite the laws to reflect reality: If you are powerful enough and have the full support of the current administration, you are immune from prosecution.

And while you are at it, take that stupid blindfold off that statute of justice. That is from another world and another time. It has no relevance today.

huh? I said run the exhaust into a compressor that then pushes all the exhaust into a storage tank. The air flow through the engine would be unchanged.
This is a thought experiment. The fact that you are trying to compress large amounts of hot gasses (not easy), the tank size/weight, power and size requirements for the compressor are all ignored. The point is: tail pipe emissions are not the end-all-be-all when it comes to actual pollution generated/environmental impact of the system.

You attach a compressor to the exhaust pipe on a normal car. The exhaust is compressed and stored in a tank. The tank can hold the exhaust from one lap of a race. During a lap, no emissions are released. Would you have a "first race car in history to complete a lap during a formal race with absolutely zero emissions". No. You wouldn't. Whoever is claiming "zero emissions" is a fool. Altering the time or location when emissions are released does not make something zero emissions. How much nasty bunker oil was used to ship all the parts around the globe to make the damn thing? How many children in China will get cancer because they live next to the mine that produced all the rare earths that went into the magnets and electronics?

Minimizing pollution is a noble goal. Making blatantly false and misleading statements to support your world view, biases or support your agenda is wrong on many levels.

I would have respect for 60 Minutes, if they started the NSA interviews with: "A lot of people think you should be in jail and branded a traitor to your country. You seem to act with complete disregard of the Constitution and you wrongly assumed you wouldn't get caught. Plus, you haven't stopped any terrorism, you live in secret with no over site, you've pissed away billions in taxpayer money and all the while you are drawing crazy high pay. What say you?"

That is the "familiar confrontational 60 Minutes style"

What are you talking about? Didn't you see the 60 Minutes/NSA love fest?

TSA agents have been know to do unscrupulous things.

Let's say you are a smart kid. By 10 years old you are ready to ace calculus. You will suffer horribly waiting around year after year with nothing to do but get in trouble, become board and go completely off track. Schools are designed to severely punish the brightest and make them wait for the mean.

This is a way out. It can only be viewed as a good thing.

Working with the NSA most likely comes with a caveat: "you follow this gag order or we will put you in jail for interfering with national defense and releasing classified information." In other words, something almost as bad as giving aid to the enemy.

I hate conspiracy theories, but it is plausible that they are under a secret order from a secret court ordering them to deny everything. This is precisely why in the US we should never every have secret courts.

This is a good thing. This is the way it is supposed to work. This is how things get better. A little late, but it good to see this happening.
