> Facebook can't be blamed for the cultural and relationship issues at play here

Don't blame facebook, blame Canada. Facebookers just do their job :-)

How can anything on android be anonymous?

It's all clear now, prism is German project. There are also theories that NSA could potentially be German project also. Nazis.

Yeah, answer is geopolitics. Germany is main country that wants united EU. UK+US don't want that, because united EU is big threat. Think what could happen if EU start connecting more on euroasia (Russia, China, India). From American point of view it would be fatal (one big territory they can't control), but for the rest of the world it would be, well, good. So, Americans are playing double game: be good with allies and keep them weak (remember Greece?).

You non-americans are hypocrites! Why, the hell, should americans think about your problems, you only think about yourselves, bla, bla, bla >:-)

Try scandinavian countries.

> A legal system as only as good ad those who control it.

Bingo!

Beginning? You guys do really think you are free lol? Just because you can choose one of gazillion same bubble gums is not freedom! Try to change important things (like your government) and you will see that you already live in tyranny.

P.S. Intended to be brutal, think about it.

But if you have terrorism in collective consciousness then you can end as savior of your nation? I just hope normal Americans are not so stupid to buy that shit anymore. Anyway, this is final test for You as nation.

Which one? Adjusting algorithms or start using it little bit more? In both cases all they need are some good arguments but you already see they even have, so called, arguments for current situation. At the end they are here to save You! P.S. ofc, if you can, please join the army. Forget the truth, there's a war out there, I tell you :-)

Don't forget link owners. NSA and other bastards can force data centers and link providers without knowledge of DDG. They can split, sniff and store all that data, even if they atm don't know how to decrypt some traffic. One day they will know. It's friking 1984^2

Serious companies will do that, but for me it would be interesting to see how many individuals already moved away from those companies and their services.

Symbols of this new tyranny are highly sophisticated propaganda/subversion and bureaucratic repression. So, unlike standard totalitarian systems which are, in a sense, straight and clean, this system is not - you could say it's opportunistic. Bureaucracy is just formal execution of their will inside legal system (some people call that justice, but it's just tool of repression towards people). As you can see they are so strong that they can even play with constitutional rights.

But you do have resources to start wars in name of XYZ, bomb other countries because of ZYX, etc? You really should know there are objective reasons why people from other countries can't stand US government/politics during last decade. If you don't understand what i'm talking about, that same politics is going after it's own citizens now, so you will find out soon.

So why is NSA hiding anything from public?

And please send credit card of Obama. But that would be terrorism.

Yeah, they want people to vote because then they can say: "will of majority". If only 1 person voted, the so called democracy would fail (people would eventually get it), because 1 person is not representing majority and majority is what democracy is all about (with all respect to minorities). They only made semantic switch saying that if you don't vote then you don't care -> not true because what if you are against (for example corrupted?) system and want real change -> should there be an voting choice: "this is not working, change the system"? :-)

Question. How cat focus help in creativity? If you want to make new connections in brain -> creativity -> isn't that opposite of focusing? Hmmm,

Sorry on bad english, 4 beers + not primary language :-)

At university we had to learn prolog and for me (C/perl) it was mind blowing experience. Fact that you are writing program as bunch of logical predicates was kind strange at first, but when you get used to it, it's such a great and powerful tool. Also, learning things like unification was just wooow. So, I'd recommend prolog to every programmer, especially today when most people use yet another standard language. On the other hand prolog is sooo out of the box.

> But there's absolutely no reason why e-mails shouldn't be real time in the modern world.

You should look at SIP. It's combination of HTTP,SMTP,... and is really great protocol for hackers and creative people. Bad side of SIP is that it's friking huge, but this is because there are lot of extensions (btw even IM is SIP extension).

Google's wet dream is Linux kernel under BSD license.

Just two things.

Debian guys should really do something like OpenBSD package flavors. Sometimes you just don't need X,Y or Z support and it's pain to do this kind of stuff with Debian. I'm not sure if that is even possible in such rigid package managemenet system. Other thing would be to allow files/libs as dependencies. Those two things would give people more freedom and flexibility, but they are from start trying really hard to be anal with packages (even given the fact that .deb system is , at the same time, best and worst thing about Debian). So, guess, just forget about it.

Privacy is not about tehnical details, it's about (ab)using users data. And btw you are also frontend to CIA,FBI,... so sorry to burst your bubble, same shit as facebook, amazon, ... You should all unite and call that corporation Little Bros United >:-)

Well, remote job isn't exclusively connected to linkedin and personally i think that remote jobs are going to become more and more common with time. Linkedin is, mostly, useful for headhunters and people who want to sell themselves (which is totally legal, but it's personal choice). I've deleted my linkedin account and doing just fine with one important addition -> don't have to pump my ego on profile and live all that shit related to virtual narcissism. So, if you ask me, it's much better in mental sense.

Why do you think they'll move away from social? Asking because, for me, this looks like they'r going "all in" here. They want all private data and social is missing in their chain. But, hmmm, looks like it's much harder to become Big Brothers right hand >:-)

So, when will they start burning urls?

1. In FLOSS you have more execution freedom. Well it all depends on ownership, size and way project is govern, but developer can always choose to fork or to contribute to other projects. You can't do that in big companies.

2. You can, mostly, work on ideas you think are worth doing. This is really awesome because worth is subjective term and only way to see you were right is to do it (your own way). "Talk is cheap, show me the code".

3. With right license you can take others code to fill parts of your project (either temporary or permanent). Helps in time consumption and agility. Ofc, you can always rewrite whenever and whatever you want. Some people think that reinwentihg the wheel is bad, but it all depends on situation. Sometimes it's even better then using bad code.

4. If you share code, someone will eventually modify it, so you can choose to integrate changes back (if worth merging). Only problem here is situation when people are using non-compatible licenses.

5. More hacker's culture in FLOSS in general.

You just demonstrated another difference in C vs C++ mindset.

C doesn't need so many changes like C++, that is the fact and advantage. C++ introduces huge bunch of new stuff, you know add, add, add, then fix, fix, fix. At the end you get overengineered buerocratic 'give me my 5%' language.

So, in C99 some stuff are very useful like variable length arrays, restrict keywords, variadic macros... these are not cosmetic. And btw, even for that you don't need C99 to c89 converter, if you want c89 compatibility use macros. But, hey, macros are ugly, right? They are ugly but they don't make my eyes bleed as some stuff in C++.

So yes, i'm twisting your arm, sorry about that, but it needs to be twisted ;-)

P.S. Your compiler is your choice, just don't force others to use it.

And this is relevant here because of?

Most of C++ devs think that C is part of C++. Even in this document it is stated something like: C subset of C++ vs C. Why? Because current C is not subset of C++, C++ is compatible with C89 or C90.

This can look like nitpicking, but it's really annoying to again and again hear such things from mouth of C++ gurus.

Now give it to me ;-)
