[FRIAM] Fwd: Reader View: Privacy is not an either/or concept - The Santa Fe New Mexican: My View

2013-06-30 Thread Owen Densmore
Good article, Tom.  Wish they could show the graph.
  
http://www.santafenewmexican.com/opinion/my_view/article_d0e0baac-7fcd-5734-8781-f5c88a69c559.html

Actually, I'm wondering if the envelope/shape we would create for the
privacy curve would have interesting properties like being continuous,
possibly to the second derivative.

The other constant problem is the aggregate we'd collectively build.  I
realize Arrow's theorem would suggest difficulty creating such a vote but
it'd be fascinating.

[FRIAM] travle tips?

2013-06-30 Thread Gillian Densmore
Hi all! I'll be traveling to see my aunt in seatle start of august- looking
forward to it- but I thought I'd ping the FRIAM mailing list- for having
things go as smoothly as possible.
What should I expect?
How (in practice) does one go about taking some prescribed stuff with them
and OTC with them? I ask because I read a article by the economist written
in 012 says that both prescribed meds and OTC's (such as asprin) it said
for colledge students  unsual smelling powders and  uncolored powders or
pills must be labled-
So asprin needs to be in a bottle that says--asprin? (I ask because I have
off/on back issues)
It also recomends puting a change of clothes in a carry on-
So does that meen a note saying: those happy pills are ok (for example)?
Other things I should keep in mind to have a enjoyable experience?

I liked it very much too, but think the New Mexican isn't nearly serious nor 
influential enough for this. How about sending it to Farber's list, Tom?

2013-06-30 Thread Pamela McCorduck
Gillilan, I've never had a problem with Advil (in its OTC) container, nor with 
prescription drugs. But then I'm an elderly white woman traveler, so they 
mostly don't bother me. I brought my laptop in my carry-on this last trip, and 
totally through forgetfulness, forgot to pull it out at LaGuardia for 
inspection. Nobody noticed, and it sailed through fine.

The change of clothes (really, only underclothing) is because if you're making 
a switch en route, bags can get lost. When that happens, it might take a while 
for the system to find your suitcase and return it to you. A while might equal 
a day or two. Last time that happened to me was NYC - Berlin, and the mistake 
apparently happened in Frankfurt. I got my bag the next morning in Berlin. If 
this happens, the airline will usually supply you with toilet articles, and in 
my case, I even got a tee shirt from Lufthansa to sleep in. It's things like 
contact lens cases, must-have daily meds, that you ought to carry with you. TSA 
prefers you to carry those meds in their prescription bottles. If you're Jane 
Fonda, even that doesn't help.

Throw an umbrella in your suitcase, and you'll enjoy yourself very much in 
Seattle.
