"a heinous apparatus has been constructed in order to control us all"
Sorry, I don't think reasoned debate is possible with you, you're on the fringe extremes with your beliefs. Hope you're feeling more positive today. Take a walk and end enjoy life.

It actually boggles the mind that a 12-pixel image has more combinations than atoms in the universe (!!!).

"I am sure government will also target the Libertarians and anti-authoritarian people."
This is a wild and extreme accusation with no evidence whatsoever. Welcome to HackerNews.

There seems to be a wholescale hysterical neurosis around the entire issue. The narrative on HackerNews is that every piece of electronic communication is monitored and stored. The majority of HackerNews contributors actually believe this.

"I fear that if I use the wrong words or visit the wrong websites, I'll trigger some automated system and will be put on some kind of watch list that will change my life"
I'm afraid you've got caught up in a modern-day hysteria. Nobody is watching you or cares anything about what text messages you type or websites you visit.

Why would Snowden get assurance from the the Norwegian government? There is nothing special about him.

That is demonstrably nonsense, Jeremy Corbyn has among the lowest ratings ever seen for the leader of a large political party, because he is a far-left political extremist.

Download page says required MacOS 10.10, but working fine on 10.9 here.

Can anyone tell me which cloud provider they are using? I want to make sure that scrapinghub are on the list. I block the IP addresses of all the major cloud providers to prevent parasites such as this.
PlzSnow | 10 years ago | on: Atom 1.6 Released with Pending Pane Items, Async Git and Top and Bottom Bar API
Agreed, and the sluggish problem can't be solved because the Atom team chose a developer stack which benefited them, and not one which benefited the actual users of the software.
There is a massive gap in the market for a native speed open-source SublimeText clone.

I'm in the comments looking for an answer too.

Your suggestion that non-US people shouldn't have .com domains is a fringe-extremist position, and is likely to be ignored by most people.
My business is on a .com domain and that will never change. I'm a businessman, not an extremist idealist.
PlzSnow | 10 years ago | on: New SourceTree is here
Why make it require MacOS 10.10?
It's not compatible with OSes over a year old?
This is absurd developer laziness.

And so the "it's not real metal" arguing begins...
PlzSnow | 10 years ago | on: UN panel 'rules in Assange's favour'
Welcome to HackerNews, where people actually believe that Sweden would extradite Assange to the USA where he would be executed.
It's so braindead I can't even begin to respond.
PlzSnow | 10 years ago | on: UN panel 'rules in Assange's favour'
It's not worth arguing with Assangers on HackerNews, it's like trying to argue with a Scientologist. Their beliefs are faith-based: facts and logic are of no interest.
PlzSnow | 10 years ago | on: UN panel 'rules in Assange's favour'
You forgot to mention the rape stuff.
PlzSnow | 10 years ago | on: UN panel 'rules in Assange's favour'
Why would "we" want Assange to go free? He's wanted for questioning on allegations of sexual assault.

Good question, and I'm curious to see if anyone can provide an example.
