Pulling out of China is a good PR move (although that's not the main reason). Pulling out of Spain, not so much. The shitstorm that would ensue would be very detrimental. And tbh, you won't see many lawsuits where people try to en

Killed the internet in Europe? Come on. Free speech in the US and in Europe are two different things. But neither is better, it's a matter of culture. This decision is not backwards and it's not killing free speech as I know it in

Asylums are better than homelessness, but to go as far as saying they are "safety net" is a stretch. They were usually not designed to help, but to put away. Then again, I'm not american and whenever I come to the US I'm

Mathematicians say that formula F is true in system S iff one can find a proof of F in the context S. So truthness is always considered with respect to some system. Thus, there are no formula which is "true" but that one can'

Probably too late for you to see this, but free objects are very common in Haskell-land. And free monoids are basically concatenation. But you'll see all kind of monoids :)

Bashing french unions certainly is fun, but please note that there absolutely no evidence (in the article) that the attack was perpetrated by a french taxi driver. This article is either very poorly documented or consciously misleading (or

That's quite a nice trick, do you have any source for this? I couldn't find any.

It's a bit more subtle. French judges consider that they have jurisdiction if one of the party is in France or (for internet-related things) if the intended public is french. See LICRA vs Yahoo! linked in another comment.

The title is a bit misleading: NSA spied on Enrique Pena Nieto before he was elected, and explicitly states that "it's not clear if the spying continues".

Have we learnt from the middle ages, or do we find the circumstances too different from now to draw authoritative conclusions? (honest question)

It is a sum of even numbers, because they almost all all are powers of 2. The only element of the sum that can be odd is when p = k. This element is prime(0), which is 0 because 0 is not prime. Thus, the overall sum is necessarily even. It

If you wonder why you're being downvoted: it's probably because there is consensus that either a system has been checked by security professionals (be it mathematicians or implementors) OR should not be considered secure. Note that it is no

I think it's more about the tree data structure than about LISP. LISP just makes the underlying data structure obvious, but as you implied we are far from seeing any LISP-semantics in JS(ON).
