While the article was kind of inconclusive, I found the pictures of 'notable people' inside quite amusing. I guess 'a guy in a business suit standing on the side of the road' is a good image for small town mayor.

At the same time you don't see google or bing linking to other search engines. So I think linking to the competitors for your users convenience is a pretty neat thing to do, which probably irks countless top managers daily. Don't

The article really made me feel for Joseph White. Poor guy, out of a sudden he gets accused of a crime he never committed. That's pretty bad in itself, especially when fighting with inhuman US judicial system. And then the prosecutors

Yes, I was hinting towards Linux. If you worry about security then the answer is pretty clear - don't store anything valuable on mobile devices.

You are indeed not supposed to say 'penal system' and 'market' in the same sentence. That's kind of amoral and ends up costing everyone - that is what all for-profit prisons successfully show.

I think the soviet parts are pretty cute. They are curious remnants of history now, since USSR is long gone and we will probably never see "Socialist realism" style being employed at such a scale ever again.

This reminds me of the whole metadata collection scandal/argument, because this is what is being shared - metadata. Just because you don't name a person directly, does not yet imply anonymity. Another observation - the article sta

I like how submissions are anonymous. Back in USSR an anonymous tip was a good way of getting rid of your annoying neighbours or rivals. Another convenient thing was that with an anonymous complaint the burden of proof lay solely on the acc

After making such a statement it would be proper to elaborate on what you meant there. Don't get me wrong, I am not yearning for a debate on Ukrainian historiography here, I just believe that borderline chauvinistic statements like tha

Huh, I would suspect that in modern times English is widely taught at schools all over the world, unless I am horribly mistaken. The quality of teaching is quite another issue and it's usually lacking - to which I can testify from my o

I guess some people interpreted the joke as confrontational and admittedly it does not contribute to the conversation. Nonetheless, I just could not resist.

People obsess too much about telling the world how unique they are. I think that uniqueness only really counts when something stands behind it and does not work as a thing in itself. That's why having a relatively uncommon foreign name
