They may be louder than rich people in cities, but I doubt it would be more expensive. If you get the sierra club complaining publicly about the tunnel, you instantly have about half of the politicians in the country in favor of it.

I wonder how much publicity this type of breach is getting outside of the HN bubble? I'd guess not a lot because I still have many friends that act like I'm paranoid just for using 2-factor at all. At some point though, shouldn't phone comp

Since I already get a text message each time I authenticate, I'd even be in favor of one that just texted me each time I authenticated a new computer. That way I could use the security of the app, but the notification of sms. I believe Face

I'd actually rather it make it to the floor without watering down and fail than make it to the floor in a form that could pass. I'd really love to force every member of congress to be on the record voting on this.

While I don't disagree with your characterization of the criticism, it was more complex than just "people within the scientific community were critical and people outside thought they did the right thing in opening up the data and methodolo

I was an unpaid intern at a lobbying office last summer and will be an unpaid congressional intern this summer (both DC). However, my college has given me a stipend (sort of merit based) so I can end up net positive on the summer. I certain

Potential strategy: 1. Acquire VC/other funds 2. Put product on kickstarter 3. Use initial funds to hype up and create explosive kickstarter trends 4. Let the hype do the rest. It's like the Palin PAC strategy.

Ah. Then it all makes sense.

Not saying anything is a whole lot better than the call described in the blog. That at least means they know it's unpopular and haven't decided which side to come down on yet (so they don't want to speak too soon and have to flip flop). The

They are certainly unpaid. I've had some experience with congressional interns (I was one last summer and lived with a bunch of others), while he's clearly not speaking officially for their Senators, they are definitely informed enough that

This is why bills are almost never voted down. One thing that politicians hate doing is switching positions because they can then get attacked on both sides of an issue and as a flip-flopper. In fact, bills rarely get voted down once they a

Most things in the senate require a vote of 60 votes to accomplish, however, this usually doesn't happen and Harry Reid (or whoever is standing in for him on a given day) just asks for unanimous consent. If no one objects, then they proceed

This is pure speculation, but I would imagine this song is getting a lot more publicity because of UMG's attempts to remove it. I certainly doubt that I would have ever come across it without reading about the fight on countless blogs.

1.00, 6.00, IAP Matlab, IAP Python, I'm sure there are more, but those were just the options I considered when I was starting out (I went with 6.00). Sure the catalog is very coding light, but they assume you can figure it out on your own i
