Wait, that can't be correct, can it? :) Was going off this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World%27s_busiest_airports_by_a... Edit: Silly me, the stats are by year not by day as I was expecting. Guess it means only

Air travel is exceptionally safe, but it falls prey to the law of large numbers: 99.9% success still means some people die every year 99.9% success would mean ~475 plane crashes during take-off and landing on Heathrow alone each day =)

"It doesn't do anything to justify the assumption that online-born people value privacy and offline-born people don't" I think you misunderstood, and that his point is that offline-born do not understand and value priv

It seems like the majority wants that, and that's very understandable. But it's very very hard to know what "it" actually is, especially when you try to account for the future. So, I don't think most people have t

Yeah, I understand, and my example was bad. Internet is such a big space (unlike milk) that if an Internet-company wants you to use their Internet-stuff and no-one else's Internet-stuff .. well, I don't know what will happen,

Try using Android without a google account.. Just having the option not to be logged in to google 24 hours a day would be a big win.

"At its core DI is basically constructing instances of objects with the help of other objects." Why would you wan t that in python? Doesn't python have higher order functions?

Keep in mind what we are discussing here, a lot of that was off topic. I never said ssh and VPN is the same, or the ssh should replace VPN, it's the other way around. Now, it seems like you're saying that vpn is more secure becaus

Programming? Absolutely! There are many places in the world where programmers are in high demand, making it somewhat easier to get into than some other fields. That being said, it can be a big and complex field, so don't expect to lear

This just sounds like FUD. What makes whatever vpn software or "hardware" you're using better, or harder to mismanage, than OpenSSH. Something concrete please..

Agreed, but it's still a nice list with a lot of information. Check out the first chapter of "The Architecture of Open Source Applications (Volume Two)" : "Scalable Web Architecture and Distributed Systems" http

If you want to have data storage that's secure from the NSA then you are going to need to do client side encryption Better not use an encryption with ties to the US government then ;)

I understand that it's not a priority right now, but how hard would it be to port Rethink to other unix-like operation systems?
652.
by gizzlon 13y ago
True, but isn't it still one big program/project? What I mean was to break it up into many smaller programs and (possibly) projects (think unix process vs. classes =)

by gizzlon 13y ago
They way you'd build large systems in dynamic languages is to break it up into many smaller pieces that work together. This frees you to change parts without worrying about the rest. To me, this type of development is much more natural

I live in Scandinavia and I don't think most people here see the US in the same light as China and Russia. But, OTOTH, I do think most people see Europe as more open than the US. It's not like it's a unique and magical "

With Crowdit being a US company, what do you think the chance of any substantial funds ever reaching Snowden is? (and that's ignoring all the other obvious problems with this scheme)
