Yeah. Everything I've read it's because they've lost the lobbying war with incumbents. Incumbents (in those locations they are pausing) used their lobbyists, political connections, right of ways, existing contracts, etc. To b

> am I supposed to be upset about? Who do you imagine is asking you to be upset about anything. A strawman? This is knowledge. Wikileaks is about spreading knowledge. How you react to that knowledge is entirely up to you.

Your phone can record, video too. Letting fear of privacy boogyman control your life is a sad waste of living.

You do realize this is same company running AWS. One of if not the largest network of cloud services. They can probably do that with idle capacity of one region.

Can we take a moment to reflect on how awesome and revolutionary (in changing world, not its tech) the Linux Kernel (and *nix ecosystem around it). I remember when the TOP500 was being taken over by Beowulf Clusters https://en.wi

That depends entirely on whether you are writing for the audience or writing for yourself. Novels are clearly a medium for writing to an audience. Artists, esp amateur ones, think they can write for themselves and still create a novel. Th

Student Loans are increasingly a bad investment. But whatever. $12k is a fuck ton of debt! A metric fuck ton, ~20% of avg yearly income. Not even counting mortgages.

The universe is bleak and uncaring (but it is, probably, deterministic (I'm a pilot wave kind of guy)... getting sidetracked here). And the universe is outside of your control. Therefore you should not let it have any impact on

I didn't. Although 1) I do have 3-4 semesters worth of college heavily focused on CS. 2) Back when I started, 30years ago. it was much less of a thing (to have CS degree) 3) I've been programming since I can remember. I grew up r

Thank you. I know many people like them. But, I can't fucking stand long form. I don't care were someone grew up, or what the fuck their mother does, or how you've decided to shape and construct a "story". Just tell
