> he believed in conspiracy theories like being a 9/11 truther, etc.

On that subject, there's a video that it would be great it every American watched. It's made by a group called Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth. It's about evidence that explosives were used on 9/11. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ddz2mw2vaEg

Regardless of one's opinion on the "Truther" movement (which does include some genuine crackpots), it's clear that the official investigation was an embarrassment, and such a significant historical event deserves more level-headed scientific scrutiny.

> "Truther" movement (which does include some genuine crackpots)

No contest. Just for anyone reading this, please remember that having crackpots in a movement doesn't make it a crackpot movement.

Sometimes the problem size doesn't increase. Sometimes you maybe just need to do lots and lots and lots and lots of small matrix multiplications.

In addition to traditional client-server webapps, what about making local-only apps that just happened to be written in HTML, JS, and CSS? Possibly with a package manager run by the browser?

Neocities is perhaps another one of those websites where it would be nice if HN included more than two levels of the domain name in parentheses.

e.g. instead of

> The 10 Megabyte Manifesto (neocities.org)

you would have

> The 10 Megabyte Manifesto (10mbmanifesto.neocities.org)

Indeed, I certainly didn't mean to mislead anyone into thinking this is "official" from the neocities guys, but I think that's pretty obvious once you click the link.

> What if we had some sort of SubWeb (have I just invented that word? I really like the sound of it!!!) which you have to use the command line to access? :)

Eventually there will be someone posting on HN about how they built a GUI to make to the SubWeb accessible for everyone. :)

What are you envisioning for the SubWeb? A geek-only web? Just curious.

No idea, it just came to me as I was typing.

But I suppose something like sort of modernising the old method of firing up a terminal and issuing manual GET commands. So, have something called a command line browser, and sites that only work with it. Not to keep any one out, just simply to do it another way. No practice purpose really, just fun for old guys!!! Very silly and point less, of course!!

Sounds like you ought to try surfing the web using netcat. It isn't so bad, except for typing out all these damn cookies.

I'm not sure you have to be an American to sign these petitions.

For those of us who don't know, what did Snowden say about policies changing?

> More detail on how direct NSA's accesses are is coming, but in general, the reality is this: if an NSA, FBI, CIA, DIA, etc analyst has access to query raw SIGINT databases, they can enter and get results for anything they want. Phone number, email, user id, cell phone handset id (IMEI), and so on - it's all the same. The restrictions against this are policy based, not technically based, and can change at any time.
