I've seen many technologies with chilling effects, but this goes way too far.

Meh. They were the ones who reported the CIA's deal with at&t to get call records for $millions a year, so either the NYT isn't (fully) in bed with them or they were tacitly warning at&t to cough up this year's catch Or Else(tm).

i.e.: Ask yourself why you want to block all Google hosts and open your mind to a new solution to that same problem. One that while less evident may well be more feasible.

I'm increasingly trying to find reasons not to block. Their G+ tracker icons and toolbar are now all over the place (even saw the toolbar on Liveleak, of all places, at one point). They've extended their Real Name harassment to anyone who logs on to GMail. (They've done it only once for me, for now, as opposed to the every-reload rain of creepy that sent me flying from YouTube, but a day or so before that incident I also had to unblock plus.google.com to even log in. My account was apparently not "upgraded" by that, but still...at least buy me dinner first.)

"Pile of shit"? Not quite, but they're aiming for it and have already reached "damage to the internet".

As bunches have already said here, the real issue is not whether the US prosecutes Assange, but whether the US (or any of its territories or non-annexed lackeys) punishes Assange with (or far more likely without) a Speedy And Public Trial.

Also, given that the US clearly has no respect for privacy or whistleblower protection, that statement by DoJ sounds less like a reassurance and much more like a less-than-implicit threat to other journalists. "What happened to Assange could happen to any of you TrueCrypting notepad-hugging bastards...report on Kimye like the good serfs you are and don't be that guy."

Expecting "reasonable" from Marissa Mayer's Yahoo is like expecting "class 1 laser emission" from Marisa Kirisame's Master Spark.

But it will save me hundreds on the car insurance rates that they'll (lo)jack up when this gets introduced!

The CIA in particular...with what they've thrown at at&t(R) and Karzai, they never seem to be bankrupt.

...or at least wouldn't have vaguely bragged about it on LinkedIn.

LinkedIn, ffs...those guys would spam their moms' email if they could convince investors that it would increase their market cap. Don't trust them to hide your shadowy marketplaces either.

We've always been at war with Eastasia.

0.128 bits does tend to be smaller than most caches.

Meh. I don't want either big-name console because DRM (well mostly a lack of funds, but increasingly DRM), and I'm not a fan of Yet Another Game With Guns And Deathmatches: Modern Warfare 5, but a good video game can open your mind, challenge your reflexes, and even teach you how to play itself through its own design (yes, I'm referring to that egoraptor vid). Making one, of course, is a challenge and artistic and scientific opportunity all its own as well.

Personally, I'd love to see (or found?) a group that makes games one day and investigative journalism the next, one that trains the brain and puts it to use. (Though I'll admit "The alleged charity embezzler did not return our calls. In other news, the HeadShotQuest sniper rifle staff glitch is fixed!" might raise eyebrows.)

The ads for the test, to be aired at primetime and targeted at people who won't even have a choice in the matter (let alone the knowledge to judge whether this is "right for you"), will push the costs up further.

Yeah, it's not wise to stop holding our government to account. I'd rather the US set an example for the worse countries by reining in its bribe-happy CIA, bringing the troops home from profit wars, closing GTMO, and stopping espionage that is not required to stop a known and imminent threat to lives.

Or I guess we can adopt the motto "Still more tolerant and less bloody than Genghis Khan!" but it doesn't quite radiate that exceptional aura.

Supported or not, <regex> may yield surprising results when used with UTF-8 or other Unicode text, so those may require a non-<regex> library or the proposed <unicode> header for C++14 anyway.

Yup. from the unless-double-secret-probation-prohibits-canaries dept., pretty much.
