It says: "license: tbd"
Which means, this defaults to full copyright. It is not Open Source.

Many countries don't have a concept of public domain. CC0 is a better international baseline to achieve the same thing.

The URL is meant to represent a specific resource. You're requesting a comment resource, not a version of a comment resource. It's semantically inappropriate and may lead to unnecessary complexity.
There is an HTTP concept created specifically for this idea. Why not use it?

Speaking as someone in a solidly midwestern state (though the definition is murky[0]) I don't think it's fair to say the midwest is historically liberal. There are a few liberal cities but there are also states like Missouri and Kansas. It's a mix of both.

You are taking as given that he released things that he didn't read. I don't think that's a reasonable assumption. According to Greenwald the documents were meticulously organized and chosen to either expose wrongdoing or provide the necessary background information for a journalist to understand the wrongdoing.
By every account of the people who know, Snowden read and understood every single document he leaked.

Writing clean code is not an academic exercise. It means comprehending it takes longer, writing features takes longer, testing it takes longer. It makes every interaction with the codebase harder.
That might not be quite as bad in a proprietary codebase since you have somewhat more of a captive audience, but in an open source project where you want a long-tail of contributions from many people, that is a serious problem.

No, it argues that the Tor hidden services that the author knew about were overwhelmingly used for bad stuff. This is problematic in two ways: the methodology of gathering addresses was pretty suspect, and it glosses over the fact that the VAST majority of Tor traffic is headed to the open Internet, not a hidden service.
Re:Effects from Filming the Adventures of Baron Munchausen (2010)

The Bluray has a lengthy featurette regarding the problems they had filming Munchausen. It was a complete disaster behind the scenes for multiple reasons that weren't really Gilliam's fault -- other than the fact that he was pursuaded to film in Italy in the first place.

I doubt it, I can count the number of local companies using Rails one one hand. It's a Java/.Net town. But physical location isn't nearly the limiting factor it used to be.
You must not have read past the introduction. I just skimmed it, but it's clear that this stores considerably more information than DNS.

I've been using Amplify.store for some time now, and I would highly recommend it. It uses localstorage where possible, but it also includes a lot of sensible fallbacks including browser-specific strategies. It also allows you to add your own strategies if you wish.
