Unless it would build a wealth fund large enough to sustain them.

And for that 75k people should loose their job? Or can we try to find a better solution?

To understand the market better I would recommend learning much more than just about the market. Knowing and understanding what is going on macroeconomically and geopolitically will help you in the market place. E.g.

Is there some NSA influencing online discussion in this thread? I mean seriously, why the down votes?

Dutch person here. I operate two 10MB exit relays from my home, where I live with my family. Have been doing this for a year now, never had any real problems. My ISP is SurfNet. Also xs4all said today that they would permit exit relays: https://twitter.com/xs4all/statuses/474514247222067200

Also, Dutch police has never actually raided a private domicile where there was an exit relay.

One advantage to running an exit relay from your home is that there is a lot of garbage traffic coming from your address, which I really like because it hides me a little bit more.

I think that is your [country you reside in] or social circle perspective. In my country and social circle, suggesting that would simply be outrages, like saying gay people shouldn't be able to get married. I live in the netherlands.

They could also route some Tor traffic from their community project.

I'd say HN is actually very mixed. See this discussion as an example where the only three comments are downvoted: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7831778

There seem to be anarcho-capitalist, social-green-leftist, pro-state surveillance, anti-state surveillance, pro-(progressive-)tax people, voluntarists, etc.

I am sometimes offended or even horrified by some of the views expressed (like the surveillance apologists, or drone-war fascists), but overall I think HN diversity is a good thing. Only group bias is towards tech.

I think people didn't get that your comment was a caricature / ironic.

Pardon my ignorance, but who is this guy? And is he schizophrenic or just trolling HN? Why would we even consider unbanning him?

The poor Czech guy who wrote TrueCrypt and had the pgp keys will be found hanged with his finger nails removed.

Disconnect is a great open source alternative to Ghostery: https://disconnect.me/

Numpy, Scipy, NLTK.

These are really HUGE and I can not do my work without them.

I actually don't think so. If it is just for contacting people in your neighborhood, then it works fine. If it is for people in the same city, then the city could organize something as a utility. Mesh doesn't have to mean 'on every users' device' or even p2p.

Mesh networks. But I think those don't have a business model.

Can I start hoping for linux and FOSS funding!?

Transatlantic cable down. Are they busy installing a prism?

But how will you know? You can't judge the content if you haven't seen it..

I'd say the media also has an important role to play in this. Also, piratepartyUK.

Just ask him? He wasn't retarded, he just didn't have a working memory. You can also ask him multiple times.

I'm even more surprised by all the anti-Snowden comments here on HN.

Because of the good plugins that are becoming more available, probably just €10. And it would have to be open source (but not necessarily free, as in beer) otherwise it is bs.

It is not about the cold, but about the 23 hour darkness for several months. The winters are actually a lot warmer than much of Russia.

> terrorize our own people

... and other people, but then it was okay-ish.

You say it is unamerican, but as a european (a non person) if I hear about these things I can only assume it were ... the Americans, or possibly the Brits.

EDIT: This seems to be a language issue, I thought as in 'Ford cars' are American.

They are also elephant killing [1] sopa / pipa supporters [2].

Remember that April fools joke by the pirate bay a few years ago..? They moved their hosting to the land of the free.

I am in two Dutch groups that are saving the world, both of them were not hosted there but definitively won't now. Also a company I work for was collecting client customer data, they moved storage from US to Netherlands.

Well, lucky you. Here in the Netherlands the politicians have jumped on this law as an excuse to pass domestic laws for data retention. Although this excuse is now gone the laws are already in place and this court ruling might not mean that my government is obliged not to spy on me.

This ruling also doesn't necessarily prevent outsourcing of the spying to the USA.
