Maybe if we start protesting en masse against the NSA (or whomever), we will also be tear gassed.
Then you'll be glad you read this article on Hacker News!

Good point. In fact, forget all this stuff with compilers and operating systems. Let's just post articles about basic combat training here. It seems much more practical.

Actually, I would love to see articles about using computer vision from drones to reverse engineer police crowd-control tactics. Or running live simulations during protests of what the police are going to do next.
Besides, we'll need all those compilers and operating systems when we re-program the robots to fight the system! /snark
