   Fukushima is a disaster, yes, but this article (particularly the little subsection blaming the USA) is full of appeals to emotion.

   I wonder if this is true of each company's management style too - I don't know anyone in Google or Facebook personally but it does seem to me that Google values engineer autonomy more than any other company (and that is one reason for its h

   Windows users that aren't privy to *nix culture generally don't find all of the "rm -rf ..." jokes all that funny. They get it, but it's sort of like telling a german joke in English to an English speaker only; they get it, but it looses it

   I didn't really like cryptacular that much. I don't really know why one character of the hash is being taken off; I remember curiously wondering why that was in there when I was fiddling with the source to get it to compile on Windows. I al

   Interesting investigation, I would like to see what the response from the py-bcrypt author is (since py-bcrypt is what I use in my applications).

    My wallet is on an IronKey - in order for me to use it I have to plug it in and decrypt it. I also backup my wallet on a NAS server but the wallet is encrypted with GPG. Gotta protect your data!!

    I feel like this would be better as a browser extension instead of a bookmarklet... I get a bit queasy about the potential for MITM with this implementation. An extension that could bring GPG to the mix, would be VERY awesome (if that doesn

    Eh, more than a bit. The epithet you chose echo the exact words I hear from many white collar execs trying to turn "social networking for baby boomers" into some sort of cash cow, believing that licensing a 200k per year social networking s

    I can agree with that (add too many simplifications...); that's why I've really fell for data-as-code in Scheme; the simplifications in that language are so broad that you don't have to /add/ simplifications. Whereas, with Python's (or any

    Simplicity doesn't always make something more learnable or more readable. Scheme (R5RS) is a good example of a minimalist language that isn't necessarily easy to read when compared with Python's readability; same is said about its "learna

    You really think Python is losing its simplicity? List comprehensions are much easier to read than a multi-line for loop (obviously, though, nesting list comprehensions is A Bad Thing for readability) - they are much simpler. Generators

    Yes, you can, probably not too different in nature to Racket's syntactical sugar with using "[" (square brackets) to make reading the LISP code easier... And yes, your argument for their simplicity is actually what I was trying to express (

    It isn't that S-expressions can contain code, it's that they are so simple that based on a very simple syntactical rule set certain tokens can be interpreted as code or data and because of that you can easily "tokenize" pieces of "code" t

    I doubt it ever will. The reason why I use JSON is because it's a very simple data format; when I need more expressive and structured data interchange I always fallback on XML+XSD+XSLT - something JSON will probably never catch up with (b

    I think what you're doing is super cool and as long as you do indeed provide an easy route to getting the data off the servers then I don't see a problem at all. Is this meant to be a freemium model? Or is it going to be a paid service? How

    It appears they started out trying to be a sort of knowledge aggregator (that probably used NLP and some semantic resources like DBPedia or Freebase to glean the knowledge) but they seem to be emphasizing structured knowledge creation now

    I'm sure you've put time into reading about BitCoin but it's difficult to take a "piece" seriously when the grammatical and mechanical errors in your writing are abundant. Additionally, beginning a "piece" with a vapid 6 point list. Also no
