In the same vein, and according to leaked TPP documents (incidentally also leaked by WL), simply linking to infringing content would be grounds for forcing ISPs to notify you of your infringement and subsequently disconnect you. It's c

I'm not talking about fallout from spying, but from finger-pointing. The US will find out who leaked the document, and they will act accordingly.

The problem with these kinds of things is that the document might be watermarked to obviate who leaked it. It follows the same vein as "spying on allies" which -- until recently -- was tin-foil-hat conspiracy territory. The politi

The EFF will definitely be issuing some manner of condemnation and praise, especially since a variety of nation's stances are made clear. Skimming through it, it's entertaining to see "CA/CL/AU/NZ/JP/

Using seedboxes is also part of being a good torrent neighbor -- most private trackers have upload ratio requirements. These requirements are infinitely easier to meet when using a seedbox.

Indeed, for example getting your brain wrapped around concurrency patterns in Go is very straightforward (especially since there is a plethora of documentation and examples). These skills will transfer very well into other programming langu

The Chinese property market/household market is a fickle thing -- a lot of it revolves around speculation. There is a suspicion that there will be a large migration of rural workers to urban regions. And large is an understatement --

It hasn't always been this way, and I'm sure the State Department and the Office of the President rely on SIGINT far more than direct diplomacy -- even to the point where diplomatic efforts are, universally, a cold formality. They

HTTPS everywhere carries a cost to Google -- crawling the web. There certainly are increased costs associated with crawling an HTTPS-only internet, and the search appliance no doubt prioritizes HTTP over HTTPS.
