Counter-conspiracy: after the Reddit AMA in which most redditors were pissed off and accused WikiLeakas to act in Putin's interests, Assange engineered this drama as a way to regain his previous cult status among the digerati.

They'll smell of the sea. Which to the people around could suggest, subliminally, it's time for a beach holiday. A chance for some guerrilla marketing right there...!

Does it actually let you save the page content, or is it just the bookmarks like del.ici.ous?

I don't experience any "dynamic woes". I am used to checking for whatever input is coming into my functions.

Those you mention no. There are tools for typechecking (flow) and to be honest in years of JS programming only rarely have I had bugs caused by a variable of the wrong type being passed into a function. As for the "weird" equality

Great, just what I was looking for. Let's see if I can finally rid myself of the Apple Co. for good! Although, no Google Drive... no Evernote...

For what is worth, it's true of all languages if you are a native English speaker - everyone wants to improve their English, and for them it's tiring trying to make sense of your attempts at speaking their language as you are le

The whole article is based on a false premise - that Trump will be able to use a drone program ONLY because Obama developed it for him. Otherwise he would have been sitting in the Oval office, wringing his hands, wondering what to do. Which

I don't know if "his strategy paid off" is correct - it seems to me that at one stage he wanted a way out and actually tried to fail, but the people just wanted him to go on. What's that quote about him shooting someone

I agree her gender is an issue for some, but she got beaten by Obama before, and he had stronger handicaps than her (race and a "funny name"). I think it boils down to her lack of charisma and being seen as "the establishment

I think it boils down to Clinton not being a good candidate - she's "the establishment", a woman, and has no charisma. You can't have all three and still win. Obama had the "handicap" of being black and "a
