You remind me of me. And I am a bit bitter. Everyday I cry into to the sky and yell "fuck them, I will succeed not matter what". I will succeed no matter what, even if it kills me.
>> You can't even argue for this story being germane without trying to start a political argument
Which is fine in my view. Is a lot of fun to read the political points and counter-points of a lot of people. You really learn a lot.
edit: I guess you could say this is not the right forum to discuss politics. Not all the time, maybe. Some of the time I think is fine since politics affects all of us. Unfortunately, right now there is no better place to have intelligent discussion in all types of topics so I do enjoy it when we analyze stories like this. We need to have a diverse diet, I believe.
Bad bad tptacek. I'm surprised by your comment. Initially I though, this guy has to be a newbie, we discuss this kinds of things all the time here, which is one of the main reasons I come to this place.
Hacker News is notorious for loving this kind of stuff so I'm not so sure why something like this is not relevant. Specially since Obama and Holder have many times not been on the same side as us. i.e. copyright, Is kind of surprising to see them protecting civil liberties when lately I've felt they have not been doing a very good job.
