TFA makes me much less worried about the crappy code I write.

So who is the target audience of wikipedia? I thought that the real scientists will anyway go to the original sources listed at the bottom of the page.
analyzing and publishing public information is not an invasion of privacy, even when done on a massive detailed scale using new technology.
How so?
Quantity matters. If you look at me at the street. It's not a problem. If you follow me 24/7 everywhere anytime I put a foot in a public space, it is a problem.
Does nobody read anymore "The Mythical Man-Month" by Fred Brooks.
I've recently decided to revisit that book (after ~20 years) and I was not impressed. For example, the book talks about one man having the overview - seeing the whole picture, making design choices and ensuring consistency in various parts of the project... the trouble is that the projects now are much bigger, more people are involved, often at different locations and timezones... I mean, perhaps it can be an interesting read and good inspiration, but applying that to present world requires non-trivial leaps.
The difference is that there is free space where the air flowing around an aircraft can be pushed. I wonder how much space would there be between the train and the tube wall. On the other hand: in case of rupture, the tube will be bent inwards - into the path of the train. If that leads to derailing at that speed, it's not going to be pretty.
Nope. EU expected that everyone attempting to cross the border will try to do so at a border crossing - you know, like in a civilized world. And the numbers attempting to cross the border somewhere else would be in range of hundreds or thousands per year, not millions. There is an option how to stop people crossing the border in the fields or in the woods. Look up Iron Curtain to see what it would look like. Fences, barbed wires, minefields, dogs, patrols with automatic guns shooting without warning... it isn't pretty. I know that, because live on the other side. EU though that we, as civilization, have moved pass that. They were wrong, but I can't really blame them.
and caused a mass influx of criminal migrants and terrorists.
EU did not cause that. You could claim that soldiers, from some member states, took part in some activity that caused that. But EU? No. The influx happens because some parts of the world were turned into a shithole while at the same time EU represents much nicer place to live just a few thousands kilometers away. We can talk about why those places were turned into a shithole, but EU never said it has "strategic interest" in Middle East. EU never sent troops there in the name of "national security". That was some other country.
Let them speak, it gives us all some comic-relief and a chance to laugh them back into irrelevance
It's all fun and games until you realize that there are 60 millions of voters in US that think that Trump is a good idea.Why do you think they won't give more power to white supremacists or other idiots in a few years?
"I don't give a crap if it's a self signed certificate. I have hundreds of internal network devices that I access on a dedicated management network which have self signed certs. Just accept the damned things and shut up."
What about running your own little CA, using it to generate certs for the devices on your network and importing the CA cert to your browser?
And I'm sure you are using the firehose actively and trying to improve the situation rather than just bitching about no one participating
When I upvote a submission in firehose, I get to choose form "fresh", "funny", "insightful", "interesting" and "maybe". Please tell me, what does "maybe" mean? And why is "fresh" there? And is green better then yellow? Is yellow better then blue?
The joke goes like this: an engineer is first day on a job. A foreman comes to him, hands him a broomstick and says "Sweep the floor. From here to over there.". "But,... but... I'm an engineer!", "Sigh, okay, give it here, I'll show you".

I thought biometrics also serves a different purpose - identification, rather than authentication.

There are 2 hard problems in programming: naming, caching and off-by-one errors.
Yes, we can. Head to the firehose and vote it up.
If you care, head to the firehose and mod up the relevant entry.

For a moment I was worried that I'll have to use binary or hex for two-factor authentication rather then plain "texts".

It seems that the list of 7 words that you can't say on TV has to be extended.
I'm not 100% sure but I guess you want to have a look at
Mozilla, you are losing ground so you decided to lure users by providing equal or less features than the competitors?

I'm surprised I can't find a poll about that.
^^^ Emphasis mine. You have a rather strong precondition there. Do you really think that people are reasonable educated in your country?

Is the bold part actually true? If the interrogator says: "if you don't speak, we will pursue a harsher sentence" - isn't that a common scenario?

What about "not giving a flying fuck" option?
Very, very well said. Hats off to you, sir.
