You really think Bruce Schneier, who has called Snowden a hero, is trying to discredit him in this article? That's not the tone I'm reading here.

Iceland already did something similar: http://www.auroracoin.org/

I would use it but then I couldn't make $0.10 donations to the impoverished every time I open a new tab: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/tab-for-a-cause/gi...

It's much easier for a computer to recognize audio than video content. I'm sure in a couple of years, YouTube will automatically flag violent terrorist propaganda.

Yeah, but that totally violates DRY principles.

Variables affect the world in long time frames. The influential Harvard study on human happiness[1] could only have been conducted over the course of a lifetime. Check out The Long Now[2] for a group of people evaluating variables at the 10,000 year time scale.

This is a bad idea. Harvard, Yale, Princeton, and other well endowed schools spend more money per student than they receive from tuition. If they were for-profit institutions, they would be further incentivized to raise tuition.

Can they allow users in Spain to access Google News from a non-Spanish TLD but still serve those results in the Spanish language?

Style guide violations can introduce bugs when moving from one system to another. At best, they slow down communication when someone can't easily understand your code.

How did Meteor get to 1.0 when node.js is still at 0.10? I congratulate the Meteor team, but can anyone confirm it is actually stable?

This doesn't seem strange at all. Uber doesn't need confidential information being transferred to their competitors...

It's about living on your own, and setting your own day's structure. I agree with him about having students do one year of college before going straight into the real world.

NSA has had whistleblowers before Snowdwen so this is not surprising.

For point 2, there is a white paper on using cryptocurrency to incentivize the development of Tor networks - http://www.nrl.navy.mil/itd/chacs/ghosh-torpath-torcoin-proo...

The censorship is frivolous but effective. I should have said "I don't think this policy is bad for the EU government."

I don't think this policy is bad for the EU. Google will remove articles faster than publications can notice and report on their removal. Most EU citizens will not care enough to use non-EU Google sites on a regular basis.

As someone who really respects and likes Snapchat, I had no idea the impact it was having on modern culture. I could not have come up with this experience.

Is BlueMix a Heroku competitor or compliment? I want to develop on the Watson API but I also want to use a stack I'm familiar with. Also, do you have range estimates for the price of accessing the Watson API?

What he actually said: "Since 1920, the vast increase in welfare beneficiaries and the extension of the franchise to women — two constituencies that are notoriously tough for libertarians — have rendered the notion of 'capitalist democracy' into an oxymoron."

Isn't the point of Tinder to use your real identity?
