Oh, and what is? Seriously, I've never managed to get ANYONE to give me an example of a working democracy. And please don't mention America - that's like the opposite of democracy. Democracy is an illusion, at best. It can&#x

I can't think of a way that this makes any difference, or see any reason why anyone should be bothered by python 2 support "ending". I don't even understand what this means, I mean it sounds like a scare tactic without s

This is fine as far as wishful thinking goes, but simply doesn't correspond to reality. Over the past 15 years or so I have been working with and consulting large corporations using Python, all over the world. And I can tell you for a

Python 2 isn't going anywhere anytime soon. Tools and libraries which drop support for Python 2 will suffer and will either revert their decision or be replaced with something else.

Putin. Like it or not, that's the only answer. A VERY strong, totalitarian leader who fully disregards his own people AND foreign interests, while having at least some interest in improving the economy of the country, no matter what it

Bulgaria has democracy... Since the communist regime fell in the 90's, the country has been ruled exclusively by the offspring of former communist leaders, in a way that makes the Sicilian mafia look like amateurs. Everything of value

Why now? How did this page change your mind? If anything, it's a big positive. All web portals collect data about you - Google at least shows you what they know and give you some amount of control over it.

"You can easily delete specific items or entire topics. You can also change your settings and decide what data gets associated with your account." I guess that's nice. I wonder if they'd still keep the original data poin

This is the most meaningful thing I have said since I was born (in Bulgaria). If you feel offended, deal with it. I've dealt with far worse there and nothing bad that I can say about the communists running this country is bad enough. M

I'm not talking about an internal revolution - there is nobody left in that country to carry that out. Everyone with half a brain and access to a little bit of money has long left.

No, they are not fixed slowly and patiently. There is ONLY one way to "fix" these "problems" and, unfortunately, it is the exact opposite of slowly and patiently. That's how absurd Bulgaria is.

Gosh, you people think I'm kidding about this! You think I'm sketching a tasteless comic or something full of foul language just for kicks.. If anything, I've put it too kindly! It is A LOT worse than this.

The working class is _always_ ruled by the elite, by _definition_. So you're not really making any point (or sense).

Hard to beat Blair, really. Cameron may be dumber, but certainly not worse.

Same here. There's only one minor thing that bugs me a bit - Phoenix seems laid out more similar to RoR than to Django, so took me a bit of getting used to. This is not a criticism by any means. Overall, I'm really thrilled with P

There is no value in that. If you have a unique perspecitve, you MUST be outspoken and opinionated. Being quirky also helps. Otherwise, no one gets to hear about your unique perspecitve.

Hardly a nail. More like a crooked little staple. In the large scheme of things, nobody cares - and this is unlikely to change.

Dear HN Monkeys, You're cracking me up. You can not be pro-technology and pro-privacy at the same time - these things are mutually exclusive almost by definition. Pick a side already and stop whining. (Aaand here's a tip: the winn

All I'm saying is, sure, privacy is comfortable and we are fond of it and we all have our insecurities, BUT... it's going away, whether we like that or not. And really, it never actually did exist. But that's okay because we

My full name and address are already publicly available in countless places, if you had any legitimate interest you should have been able to find them in less time than it took you to write that comment. Btw., so are yours.

Yes, I fully understand that I am the ONLY anti-privacy advocate on HN. I accept all of your downvotes and hold no grudges :) But you are all wrong.

Technology increasingly exposes the superficial nature of concepts like privacy and security. In nature, these things simply do not exist. They are also completely non-essential to human well-being. Our emotional attachment to such concepts
