You really think Bruce Schneier, who has called Snowden a hero, is trying to discredit him in this article? That's not the tone I'm reading here.

It's about living on your own, and setting your own day's structure. I agree with him about having students do one year of college before going straight into the real world.
NSA has had whistleblowers before Snowdwen so this is not surprising.
The censorship is frivolous but effective. I should have said "I don't think this policy is bad for the EU government."
I don't think this policy is bad for the EU. Google will remove articles faster than publications can notice and report on their removal. Most EU citizens will not care enough to use non-EU Google sites on a regular basis.
As someone who really respects and likes Snapchat, I had no idea the impact it was having on modern culture. I could not have come up with this experience.
Is BlueMix a Heroku competitor or compliment? I want to develop on the Watson API but I also want to use a stack I'm familiar with. Also, do you have range estimates for the price of accessing the Watson API?
What he actually said: "Since 1920, the vast increase in welfare beneficiaries and the extension of the franchise to women — two constituencies that are notoriously tough for libertarians — have rendered the notion of 'capitalist democracy' into an oxymoron."
