Security is all encompassing. You either get an A+ and the hacker does not get in, or you get an F and your data is gone.

The issue isn't "houses, papers, and effects" not encompassing e-mail, but the "belonging to that person" aspect. Phone metadata doesn't "belong" to you.

But if you just want to consume the content, like I do, it's pretty hard to find a better all-encompassing, no-******** source than the scene. With my 20 mbit connection, I can have an HD TV show ready to go in <10 mins and a movie in <30.

No encompassing announcement of "Hey, use Mozilla again, boycott over". They got what they want, Mozilla is once again pure in the diversity stakes, but they didn't bother to clear the bad air.

When you become CEO of a company as big as Microsoft, or so I'd imagine, you get a true sense of just how vast and all-encompassing your responsibilities have become. The task is much bigger than you are.

It's far too large a topic to treat in a HN comment and its whole system encompassing so 'what it could be' is a large set. These types of things are not uncommon in hardware development, especially with high speed signaling.

Well the term is an example of a logical fallacy only when one seeks to deduce broad all encompassing conclusions from such evidence. Thus, for example, if you see one drunken irish person it does not follow that irish are drunks.

That's one of the reasons I like Backbone's minimalism -- it is more a simple toolbag and less an all encompassing solution that relieves you of any reason to make decisions. Backbone also works very well in a non-pure client-side web app, which are much more common.

Hedgehogs explain the world and make predictions according to one large all encompassing principle. Foxes don't, and apply different principles to different circumstances.

That might have to do with my personal experience, where there where not so much voices as an all encompassing ubermind which would manifest itself as a single voice which you would call 'intuition' but for me was more of deity. One of the best sayings I've found since then is: 'The mystic swims in the same ocean the schizophrenic drowns in.'

Smith was a one-time, targeted request; the NSA program is a daily, all-encompassing, indiscriminate dump of phone metadata. Leon: "It's one thing to say people expect phone companies to occasionally provide information to law enforcement; it is quite another to suggest that our citizens expect all phone companies to operate...

On the other hand, what's great about your way of putting it is that it juxtaposes your belief in the all encompassing nature of the NSA's programs with your incredulity that such a program might have been applied specifically here. I also like the part where the NSA is guarded by the Catch-22 "it wasn't them, because if it was, you'd never know", such that that there's no scenario in which you could be convinced that the NSA did anything.

Unfortunately, most academic scientists are not in a position to risk their careers on such a bold and encompassing proposal. However, I benefit from this in some ways, because academics who are interested in this problem often work on a small piece of it instead of going for the whole thing, and are then incentivized to share that piece with me to integrate with all the other pieces, so they can see their contribution realize its full potential.

That problem space is plenty big, encompassing work in programming languages, databases, networking, data science, information retrieval, machine learning, etc. We leave other technical problems to organizations with other missions; they have smart people, too, who understand their problem space better than we will.
