It says: "license: tbd"

Which means, this defaults to full copyright. It is not Open Source.

The source is open for you to look at, I haven't decided on further permissions. That's why I felt comfortable using the phrase "open source" :)

Plus it's not a very complicated website. Took me like a day to make. So there's really hardly any use in having it open sourced in the sense that people can use my code. It's probably easier to just write it yourself :D

Because they don't need to, because it's mandatory for hotels.

Because it's one of the only politically acceptable ways of discussing capitalist exploitation.

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

TorBrowser does not disable Javascript by default, and neither does TAILS.

It is shipped with the noscript plugin enabled, that part is pretty important. You aren't just referring to the fact that JS is disabled via a plugin, are you?

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.
