Yes, indeed. It would be very convenient to substitute an issue of double standard with of rhetoric.

Does anyone else feel sick about a title like this as I did? A nation can't do things; a government can.

You are such an acute observer, sir. This is the most accurate description about the matter by someone not Chinese I ever read. For that you have my respect.

Goodhearted? Why this looks like merely a calculated PR move for me?

> Maybe the big companies like Google and Facebook are approaching a new meaning of a “large codebase”. If codebase is that large, language alone can't solve all the problems. Be i…

This is against HN guideline[1]:" Resist complaining about being downmodded. It never does any good, and it makes boring reading. " [1] http://ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

What would that two books be? I'm reading the joy of clojure myself now. So far so good.

Those are mostly irrelevant to this thread. Except as a matter of fact I was an employee. A googler, you say.

The tech exists, which is called fully homomorphic encryption scheme. But I concur in what olalonde says, average people simply don't care that much about privacy.

Get from server through network, of course. In the meantime, peers cache "facts" using LRU replacement policy.

From FAQ: Is Datomic just for JVM languages? At the moment, yes. We have ideas for how to enable Datomic on non-JVM languages while preserving as much of the embedded power as poss…

I noticed that in FAQ, too. Since read is relatively easy to scale (simple master / slave setup), I wonder how to scale datomic on write side.

Damn, I misread webdev as webdav.
