Not entirely true: Sensenbrenner (R, author of PATRIOT act) http://foxnewsinsider.com/2013/12/09/sensenbrenner-clapper-s... did come out on the side of prosecution. So far he is the only one.

The fact that Clapper is still in office months after it was revealed that he had in point of fact lied to congress during sworn testimony should tell you everything you need to know. The surveillance machinery formerly known as Total Infor

So why wasn't Apple in there bidding against them? I could actually see Apple doing a rather good job with robots. Making sleek, stylish efficient (servant|killing) machines... On a more sober note. I see Apple as being likely to go af

Nice. Do you import itertools in your .pythonrc or was it just already in your shell? itertools is one of my favorite python modules.

Sweet, I didn't even think of using the string methods; always nice to have a blind spot pointed out.

You have a very utilitarian view of education that I find uncomfortably limiting. My own view is that rather than worrying about children 'passing' some arbitrary standardised test. We should be aiming at teaching children to thin

The pernicious thing about a culture of shills and agent provocateurs is that it undermines trust in others and civil society in general. It leads to endless questioning of motives and to a complete stoppage of debate on some topics. Think

How does the seller hedge against currency risk? Given that BTC is very volatile and that it can be difficult to get USD or whatever currencies the carriers are accepting for tickets the reseller ( Cheapair in this case ) has to be able to

It's definitely the case that the quality of discourse has declined on this site in the last few years. However that has more to do with the fact that it's now seen as an important mechanism for shaping public opinion amongst an i

It might be that the person you are responding to is making an effort to enforce a social more against defending spying that is clearly out of control. In which case the necessity of nastiness should be clear. That said, we know that the US

Have you looked at the ltree extension for postgres? http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.3/static/ltree.html It's quite fast.

What about comparing Corrections Corporation of America and it's privatized prisons to DPRK labor camps? Perhaps a bit of a stretch given how clean and sanitary private prisons are known to be. But since American prisoners are forced t

Yes; but it's equivalent to taking the Red Pill. Beforehand, you live in one of the most powerful and richest countries that ever was, a beacon of hope and freedom to the rest of the world. Afterwards you live in a country in which the

Oh dear; I fear you have gotten the wrong idea. I spend most of my time in emacs doing things in python, sql or what have you. Usually the only time I talk to a production database directly is when it's already in trouble. And yes; one

I like sql-mode but I also like doing things in the terminal. Using sql-mode in emacs is for developing queries, but psql is what I use to talk to a database of any consequence. A large part of that is so that I know what context I'm i
