Police, in many countries, have already been found to violate the laws protecting surveillance systems that already exist. If a warrant doesn't stop them today, why do you think it will tomorrow?

It's not "cope". Switzerland created a new set of surveillance laws in January, that far exceed anything inside the EU. Which means that EU laws are irrelevant, when talking about a company inside Switzerland - you should be

I don't see a world where this won't be abused. Maybe by the authorities, furthering policies already in place to deal with people who don't toe a certain line of thought. Probably by people outside the law, who now have a fa

Most well-known date library systems have failed in places. Quite a few, still do. So whilst you might get some known regression to test against, nothing can give you a foolproof guide. You can have reasonable confidence that here there be

I really wouldn't call something you need to write, to make something happen, "syntactic sugar". Otherwise types are just sugar. Indicies are just sugar. Lists are just sugar.

It usually hit, when a dependency of programs gets shoved out into cask. The moment where that happens, and where the things listing it as a dependency realise its now cask and not the main repo, is not altogether in sync.
