Wait, wasn't it his own government which decided to spy on their own people ? Didn't he force his own country's companies to spy on his own people?

I used to like obama a lot. Used to...

This is why I desperately hope bitcoin would one day get adopted by the masses.

from the ask-hn dept.

This has been bothering me a lot for quite some time now, whenever I use open source products I can't help but feel bad for not doing anything to help improve the product I use or any other open-source projects which are alive thanks to people spending their time for free.I want to contribute in code, but I always feel like I am not good enough, or that it would take a long time before I submit...
