Patriot Act Section Goes Way Too Farhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9628531Via: http://www.cincinnati.com/story/opinion/letters/2015/05/29/letter-patriotact-sunset-senate-spying/28185561/"Section 215 of the Patriot Act is scheduled to sunset on Monday. This law was secretly interpreted to allow the mass surveillance of who you talk to on the phone. Such information can be deeply intimate and private: Consider, for instance, what you could infer from a record of numerous calls to a local oncology center and pharmacies. Section 215 is a pointless, expensive intrusion into the private life of every American. On May 22, the Senate voted against extending Section 215. Sen. Mitch McConnell of Kentucky has indicated he will bring it up again for a lastminute vote on Sunday. I write to encourage local readers to ask their senators, especially McConnell and Sen. Rob Portman of Ohio, not to extend these surveillance provisions because they run counter to the spirit and letter of the Constitution.

Ask HN: EU Opportunities in Software Development and Medicinehttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9062852Hello all,I'm a Portuguese software development student and I'll be completing my Master's in Informatics and Computer Engineering (aka Software Development) next year, majoring in Distributed Systems and minoring in Artificial Intelligence. I'm also in a long term relationship with a med student that will also be graduating next year, when she'll be taking the Harrison Exam, a nationwide exam for all med students graduating that year that rank them by grade and prioritize their specialty internship choice in our National Health System. This exam essentially decides her medical specialty for the rest of her life, which due to possible bad luck, may damage her career prospects and make her unhappier overall. When I'll graduate, the job market that'll be waiting for me is essentially comprised of a bunch of outsourcing companies that work primarly in SAP and Microsoft SharePoint, website, back-office and other business critical applications development in C# and .Net, with a very small bFeb 17, 2015 3:52 PM

Ask HN: Finding a technical lead in Cambridge, MA?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8675900Over the last several months, I have tested and validated a business opportunity in the legal space. Customers are very interested - 4 or the last 5 have asked to be part of a paid Beta as soon as possible. I'd like to get something workable into customers hands as soon as possible, but am hamstrung by my technical skills.I'm by background and skillset much more business than technically oriented. I know enough Python/Django to be dangerous and have built a working proof-of-concept / demo. However, I know when I'm at the limit of my capabilities, and to take it from POC to working product, would like to bring on someone to help buildout a real product.Some of the problems that need to be solved for (many of which I've been dealing with in one capacity or another): - web scraping. Done mostly with BeautifulSoup to date + lots of custom regexes. There are a lot of corner cases to deal with. - regularly scraping 10,000s of pages and watching for changes on those pages - entity and person Nov 30, 2014 3:42 AM

This information wasn't enough identify that person, but it suggests that sama is sending a signal that mods will use this tactic against people they consider trolls.In the same thread, another user (not a mod) states that 'there is no "doxing" rule on HN'.Will mods continue to reveal private information that only they know?
