Proof

In Finland, everything is wheelchair-friendly from our Helsinki metro, to trains, to buses. I am kinda shocked to read Americans think it's not important to allocate the money to enable those with limitations to live their lives as freely as they, the able-bodied do. The mentality "it does not apply to me, why should I fine two fucks?" is all too common in the American ethos. Quite pathetic really.

There is already groups and small organisations that are gathering money to buy up these congressmens' browsing histories to publish them online. If this idea actually works, the karma and schadenfreude will be awesome to delight in.

I swear this 98 percent of this article was from the Policy Change HN read yesterday.

I think the market for VPNs that have a policy for not keeping logs and easy-to-use will grow exponentially in the common days or weeks. For the more technically inclined, VPS providers.

I'm a Mathematics major so I make a point of reading all maths related articles and if I have something to contribute then definitely comment.

On average I read 2-3 articles fully but it also depends what's it on. On breaks I always try to read top 10 or 15 and sometimes comment. I find this community and commentators quite a pleasure to read because many of us posses something unique or at least it seems so.

I agree with this! I think, should people value their privacy and want to use VPNs then we can teach them about such matters but merely us trying to convince them should not be our problem.

I don't understand these types of comments. Why bother arguing that [some country] is worse than yours when they have experiences that you most likely will never ecounter personally.

One way to improve is to be able to open oneself, or in this case, a whole country, to criticism. Merely rebutting with "my country is superiors to yours!" adds nothing of value and puts forth a level of ignorance that should not be tolerated in today's society. Thank you.

I'm quite curious to see what he has to say about Monster Jams.... If I had a choice between a Circus and MJs: Circus would win every time.

This is something I would write in a Creative Writing Class back when I was an Exchange Student in USA. Why is this on HN?

Don't teens know not to do homework on "Snowdays"?

Nor it will ever happen because he arrived in Russia without possession of any documents. They had had already been taken by Laura Poitres and Glenn Greenwald.

As many of the commentators have already stated, they should either exonerate him(not likely) or figure out a way to brand him a peadofile.

My guess is; if they were to label him outright then everybody would call the government out and they maybe put in a awkward position of vindicating him. Will be interesting to see what 2017 brings.

What I would like to know is: how does it help fellow EU states? I live in Finland, would these new changes be carried over to stop UK from targeting Finns or must EU courts pursue to restrain UK in similar fashion as its citizens attempting now?

I guess for now EU members can still use VPNs and the like.

While I think you are correct in your prediction, I also think that the UK government can simply outlaw any type of attempts at protecting ones' data, such Tor, VPN ect.

At the very least, they could make a law that would focus most of the energy in hacking those who do try to conceal and protect their privacy. They blindly believe the time trotted motto of "if you're doing nothing wrong, you have nothing to hide."

I'm from Finlan ld but visting the US, till February and I have a feeling US will watch Belarus very closely to see if it is successful thrn will try to quietly implement a ban or interfere with Tor as best as they can. Rule 41 is a mere Apptizer. The Americans have yet to receive their Entrés. What's even more scary is the radical laws being fought for in Canada as of today.

This article really lacks substance. Why not do a semi in depth interview about what it was like, their biggest struggles, biggest wins, how they kept sane, ect. Seeing that is posted here, I would've expected more of an interesting read than just "they were in a dome a whole year." As commentators pointed out, Navy sailors go through confide quarters for better part of the year. Not too mention, America houses the most prisoners in the world, surely they would be a good example of cramped living. Hmm, oh well, it is has gone.

Sadly, the way Justice System is working nowadays is that majority of cases end with a plea due to overwhelming pressure from the prosecutors.

So, theoretically one could ride the reasonable-doubt-train all the way to court but at that point, the prosecutor would stack any charge possible leaving the jury to deliberate on all them. Modern day juries still most likely are not computer savvy so, merely stating "IP Address" would most likely be enough to convict. It is also needs to be added that if the charges are severe enough, even though every defendant is innocent until proven guilty, in reality it is the opposite way around if the said crime is vehemently disliked by all.

I'm glad I'm not the only one. Just today, I was in a conversation when trying explain broadly what Number Theory is and a little bit why I find it fascinating and pursuing Masters then Docterate. What annoyed me the most was being told that Mathematicians cannot simply understand not comprehend infinity. Shortly after explaining the number systems and infinity. I was asked about my favourite number. What was truly cringe worthy was the topic of Proofs, apparently i was told that they don't really exist! xD What a waste of 5 year ax in maths.
