He'll certainly continue his elections work for ESPN's sister network, ABC. There might be more worthwhile things he could work on, but sports and politics are what interests him.

In those instances, you might spend a few hours or the night in a jail cell, that's true. It's a bit different than what they do in Venezuela, or say, Egypt.

The federal government does still utilize the death penalty, but it's very rare these days. Only three times since 1963, whereas Texas has executed 500 people since 1982.

I'll say it's another stain on this country as well, but not particularly relevant to the issue of political imprisonment.

Sure, I'll agree that Guantanamo's a stain on this country. And while we have entirely too many prisoners in this country, they aren't 'political prisoners'. People aren't thrown i…

He did more than just 'mention' it, he stoled government property and disseminated classified information to the public. I'm not saying what he did was 'wrong', but it is illegal a…

I don't think it's all that fair of an assumption, and even so, he's only delaying the inevitable. He will be brought back and tried eventually.

If he wasn't, he would have simply turned himself in and faced trial. All his globe-trotting and statements just detract from the issues he's raised re: surveillance.

The man is desperate for attention, but doesn't want to appear so. I guess.

You can argue about whether they're unjust laws or not, but they still exist and if you break them, you should face the consequences. That's what the civil rights leaders in this c…

They do when they knowingly break the laws and run away from the consequences like Snowden and Assange have (Assange's even more appalling given the rape allegations he also ran aw…

So cute how Wikileaks is always trying to insert themselves into this story.

Jaguar does (or did when my parents had one). I think other luxury car dealers typically do as well.

For people who've found the prior 7-minute workout[1] too time consuming, I guess. [1]: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5704485

Well, after the two years, you're T-Mobile bill goes down by ~$20/line a month while your bill on the other carriers stay the same. This assumes, of course, that you don't buy a ne…

Yeah, there's not much saving for me either. It'll cost $200 less over the course of two years if I go with 2 lines and T-Mobile's unlimited data plan (compared to the 2 lines and …

I really don't understand how people get sucked into these for-profit (scam) schools. Or why the federal government provides student loans for students going to such places. Presum…

You can request a file on any deceased person, and they'll give it to you in most cases. Social security numbers of the deceased are also public information. Helps to prevent ident…

Apple gets more attention because of their size, but Samsung has recently caught some notice on these labor issues[1]. [1]: http://www.theverge.com/2012/12/14/3767272/samsung-htns-…

It could break much sooner than that. All Twitter would need to do is cut off access to it, like they just did with [Tweetie]( http://thenextweb.com/apple/2012/10/11/rip-tweetie-fo…
