You know why I love Shakespeare? Because only thoughtful minds can understand his writings. Ones that can bear to get out of their technology-infested worlds and actually focus on a story that has and can keep your attention, when words meant more than simple communication.

Promises were called oaths and there were such things as enduring love, faithfulness, and trust, yet, there were still scandals and mistakes. But it was all overcome in a story that few today would venture to understand in its original context.

It takes little intelligence to comprehend what a text means, but in poetry and stories we find beautiful manifestations of every moral and in these I think we find the vulnerability of this plague we call humanity.

Thank you for mentioning this podcast. It's amazing!

Thank you! It seems very interesting, terse and powerful.

Exactly. Too bad two wrongs don't make a right.

What language is that?

There's a difference between pointing out the existence of a similar comment on the post and stating that I have stolen the comment. Assumptions can make fools of us all.

How do you suggest that I make it clear? Keybase doesn't allow for G+ verification.

They simply rounded the weights in pounds to the next hundred which resulted in the extra 644lbs.

Python code:

    import math
    def roundup(x):
	return int(math.ceil(x / 100.0)) * 100

    materials_in_kgs =  [12750000,6090000,5420000,2050000,1340000,86000,18000,20000,59000,2000,3000,1000]
    materials_in_lbs = [i*2.204 for i in materials_in_kgs]

    materials_in_lbs_rounded = [roundup(i) for i in materials_in_lbs]

    print sum(materials_in_lbs_rounded)

I was curious why he was using domain names instead of tor hidden service or other p2p networks. Turns out that using domain names provides a backup communications channel (DNS) that gets through pretty much any firewall.

Isn't their currency linked to the US dollar? That would make it a suicide attack. No one is that..Oh wait..
