Tree Style Tabs is cool! Have you got any other recommendations? Besides AdBlock+, NoScript, HTTPS Everywhere and Chatzilla?

I think that a major reason for the entire problem spectra of US is them being a "two party" democracy - It hardly counts as a functional democracy at all. The entire republicans vs democrats chatter seems ridiculous to an outside observer... More like a gang turf war than anything else.

I'm not sure what should be taken seriously if at all from it, either. But lets pretend for a moment that's irrelevant and the article does have a point:

During the last couple of days, we got to see this attitude you've demonstrated here, unfortunately, much too often - Not everybody here is from the US and it isn't all about you. Your surveillance is affecting us all but most of the discussion is about how it affects US citizens, since the rest of the world has no rights in the first place.

Administrative arrest in Israel isn't indefinite, there's a similar process where they ask a judge to prolong it and as a citizen I believe that they do. However from what we understand from the media, they might be asking the judges without explaining the details to them because of confidentiality.

You mention doing it for variable length chains, It requires hardly more effort than hard coding the length, something like

    find_match(X, P) :-
        append([usd | _], [usd], X),
        profit(X, P),
        P > 1.

    profit([A, B], P) :- exchange(A, B, P).
    profit([A, B | T], P) :-
        exchange(A, B, P1),
        profit([B | T], P2),
        P is P1 * P2.
 
    # 1 ?- find_match(X, P).
    # X = [usd, jpy, usd],
    # P = 1.0040982 ;
    # X = [usd, eur, jpy, usd],
    # P = 1.0040882716200001 ;
    # X = [usd, eur, btc, usd],
    # P = 1.01209651875 ;
    # X = [usd, btc, jpy, usd],
    # P = 1.0025512896 ;
    # X = [usd, eur, usd, jpy, usd],
    # P = 1.003776175666278 .

What are you guys talking about? My main machine has 1.25GB of RAM and is 10 years old.

Sure I don't use it for modern gaming and sure I've delegated tasks to much stronger uni machines a few times in the past but other than the occasional hw problems due to age it still works and is mostly enough...

Honestly as somebody who reads/ writes C every couple of months, I don't see what's so clever about it. This level of understanding for a C programmer should be the bare minimum, I think...

My thoughts exactly. I cannot help but think there's a rather big opportunity for HW companies here...

I'm glad to see that they are considering longer periods than a semester: I started the course and enjoyed the ability to view the lectures at a high speed and the exercises were to the point (Even if rather easy but it was expected for an introduction course). But I couldn't finish it due to real life university load.

I would like to see more flexible deadlines such as 2/3 weeks since the last assignment for ex. but I understand it wouldn't be manageable when taking midterms and finals into account or provide significantly more work having to make a few of those or delay if they were at constant dates...

I cannot verify/ negate the comment about the movie. However neither can the fact that you're unfamiliar with it.

I do however see a problem with your eagerness to find an excuse to discredit the posts contents... If you've never heard of any of it and you consider yourself well educated on the subject, you've been clearly fed some of the abundant propaganda...
