god, this is really bad side effect :( please be mindful


hey, in the slide there was a part that says that surveillance planes typically flight in a couterclockwise circle. does anybody know why and can explain to me? thanks


Pilots are in the left seat, you get more visibility that way if you're "leaning" the plane to fly left circles.


ohh, thanks a lot


Hey, does anybody have that documents from Spiegel? I clicked the link but it says not found. Probably it is from 5 years ago so they take down the pdf documents.


that sucks that link rot is slowly erasing the news reports of Snowden's leaks. how are younger people supposed to defend themselves if the past is erased?

there are 2 sites which archive the complete Snowden leaks:

I think that when you suppress freedom systematically, stuff find other ways to come out, and it comes out ugly. (Like when you suppress healthy sexuality).

That explains the weird stuff floating around Vietnam social media (which is a smaller scale version).


you just type the text "lambda". some editors (emacs, drracket) can automatically convert it to lambda the symbol.


If you get a small phone, what do you need keyboard for? Coding or writing drafts? I think the small phone you get will replace iphone4s but don't you feel the need to get a middle solution between small smart phones and a full functioning laptop?


I use my old smart phone for the things you list also. But i'd like to be more productive. Probably an ultra light laptop or netbook. I'd like to be able to code, read books, scribble ideas.. It should be in the middle between a laptop and a smart phone. It's just that there are so many brands today.


What do you mean by "main computing device"? Do you code on it? Read books? Scribble sandbox idea?


Forget about the greater cause, Gawker messes with the wrong guy.

i agree w this comment on twitter: Let's say that Thiel & Gawker is a match made in heaven.
