The envelope vs. postcard analogy is great, and particularly because it shows a sub-subject of privacy, which is an individual's ability to control his lines of communication. That is, any individual should have the right to choose whether or not they want to communicate to any other individual. In addition, they should normally (barring significant potential harm) have the right to choose *how* they want to communicate, which includes the right to choose who else can receive the communication. You're totally right about the government thing, too--there's no reason to violate *everybody's* rights just because a few people might need to be regulated in the future. And I'm very similar to you in the sense of following the law but not necessarily wanting to expose all my information everywhere--and I'm REALLY not a private person; I mean, almost everybody in the world could acquire my address, phone number, and all my contact information if they really wanted to. Still, I think that individuals should have the right to make that decision about what information they want to expose to whom. I think in general the idea that normal people need to be treated identically to criminals is one of the major root ideas that undermines our human rights everywhere in the world. -Max Yeah, I totally agree with you here.

What IS the purpose of meetings? There are FAR more meetings in the average engineering organization than there should be. Sometimes they are very important, to inform the group about how things are going to go in the future, or so that information can be shared between the group members. Administrative decisions are made by the leaders of the group based on the information gathered at the meeting. Technical decisions can also be made by the engineering leaders based on that information.

There's almost always a way to get things done the right way, particularly with a little more insistence on the part of the engineer instead of caving to external forces. It's true that sometimes you need to do a "quick hack" on something, but then you can go back and clean it up afterward, and that's still the right way. -Max Well, I hear that argument a lot, but I think that the things that “force” people to do things “the most convenient way” are actually less “forceful” than they think.

One thing I've always heard regarding privacy and encryption is that of mailing a letter in an envelope vs. putting it in on a postcard. One can argue that someone has something to hide, not mailing it on a postcard. However, we all know this is ridiculous, we just want to keep what is private, private, even if it is just trivial personal correspondence. The same argument can be made for email, hard drives, etc. The only people that can see the email are folks along the way (mail servers, ISPs, etc.) or people purposely snooping - which is the same as the postcard/envelope example. Just food for thought. It gets even more complicated when you have sensitive information co-located, and perhaps have a business obligation to keep information sensitive. We all know physical security is everything, but there has to be some way to accomplish things even in a shared environment. My argument is simple: I don't want you to know what I don't want to disclose to you. For that reason, I'm going to use what technical methods I can to prevent you from knowing what I don't want to disclose. It doesn't make me a criminal (I like to think I'm a very moral person and don't break laws, even copyright laws that I don't agree with), doesn't mean I do or don't have something to hide, it just means I want to keep my business to myself. I believe there is nothing wrong with that. Of course, many government agencies would prefer no one have that attitude or capability. They site things like the need to track down all sorts of bad people, which they couldn't do without prying into everyone's privacy. Sorry, I don't trust anyone with that sort of access. I don't trust ME with that access. I don't think anyone should. The government you like and trust today can easily be replaced tomorrow with another, that's what I think folks need to keep in mind. No, I don't wear a tinfoil hat, but I'm very realistic when it comes to thinking about security and privacy and what it really means. Good reading, Max.

Since this is the case, parents in the USA not only have a want to know, but a need to know where their kids are and what they are up to. They have a legal obligation to know. It's one reason we had such a lively debate in my school district about children being given consent to leave school campus for doctor visits, without informing parents. Part of the problem is that parents still legally responsible for them even though they were under the assumption that the children were under the care of the school until after school hours. Further, parents have a legal obligation to bring their children for education (home schooling and private school are also options, but not everyone can afford these options). The district board of trustees were shown in force of numbers that this was not acceptable, and they voted it down (unless a parent specifically signs a paper saying the school has their permission for their child to leave for doctors visits without notifying them).

Privacy depends on individual person if which we want to share information or not. so I belive in “privacy of space”.
But when somebody or some country is trying to steal the important information of govt. of India(or any country)through hacking then it is dengerous.

I also agree with the max's blog.

But,in India ders a diff. picture. For ex- Elders,particularly ur parents wants to know,or i say to an extend shud knw what their child is doing.They may stop the child from getting into trouble,and avert d situation if sumthng bad is being done.Here,they say that if u r hiding sumthng from ur close ones or elders ,sumwhr it is wrong. They consider that u r not mature enuf to take rite decisions, atleast till u r 18(or may b above).

For solving problem you have to study and understood problem. Then think about that which terms is require to solve problem. As you said that engineer can not find out the right way to solve problem by group discussion but according to my view to solve the problem group discussion is require. So by that procedure very points is clear regarding to problem. According to my view, for solving the problem in right way some knowledge is requre about problem.
