I suspect it's because WELL and other early systems were there. France actually had a precursor system a couple of years earlier, which was only finally turned off a couple of years ago. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki&

Just a touch more evidence based than the DM, but anyone who is in the business of selling news a) has an agenda and b) need to sell their stories, so quelle surprise.

Got any evidence or links for any of that? You get that these are ordinary people, grandmothers as well as students? That these people are protesting having their country stolen AGAIN, by the same people as in 2005 when the Orange Revol

The NYPD gets thousands of requests. NYC get, on these figures, at least 40,000 a year. Known requests to the NYPD in a shortened period were ~1900. http://advocate.nyc.gov/sites/advocate.nyc.gov/files/deBla

Cool idea, even if the fundamental idea of packing your kids off to camp is a bit weird...

Hah, didn't know that, but what a fantastic example of victim blaming.

If you're not seeing how you're going to use these things iqwn your own code, you should have a think about why that is; these techniques are the basis of everything else that you're going to do. I've been learning for

Pretty bleak stuff. Great idea, but it's the same as it was with the Big Society Network - take a bunch of stuff that's already happening, chuck it all together under one banner, add an 'advisory board' of heavy hitters

Mine has both... (At two.) it's v difficult to deal with "not work, daddy, come play. Come play!"

Oh, no, I get that - but if you're a (paranoid) security conscious airline, it's a fairly short hop/easy exploit to make sure someone buys something bad to take on the plane - presto, fresh skinned mule.

"Won't know, can't tell." Although you can't tell what the NSA might be able to tell border and customs... ;)

Also, airlines are very sketchy about people carrying stuff for other people. Major security problem right there, as well as the fact that the import rules and rates will vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction - the fact that people are b

In my experience, as some of the others have said, yes, they do. The developer at my last company was in his 40s and still had that mentality. What you will find, though, is that there's a tradeoff there, because not everyone does; a

Quite up for scoping and seeing if we could set up one of these in London, if anyone else is interested....

I guess it's really unclear to me why I'd want to fund it. It seems kind of interesting, but it's not 'that's-fun-i-want-that-to-play-with' like Pi or Kano or Arduino, and it's not 'shit-that-solves-

Absolutely gobsmacked that they don't have access to banks. Incredible scenes.

I"d be interested to hear what you ended up with - doubly interested in it if it does have its own python library...

ENTP (very strongly, and repeatedly). This reply is probably wayyyyy too late to be constructive.

The main problem with this question, and the article generally, is that it assumes the State acts with a single intent, as a single (bad) actor. It doesn't. There are too many competing interests - political, bureacratic, targets, sel

As ever, the answer is some variant on 'depends what you want to do with it'. If it's sales, something like Pipedrive, which returns JSON from their API will work well with Python. If it's more general contacts, I&#x27

In fairness, the test (as with all of these things), isn't really a magic anything - it's about self awareness, or at least that's how I've seen it used over the last 15 years I've been aware of it. Self-bias war
