Yes. The hypocrisy has me questioning her authenticity. Has she had a change of heart or is she just playing a game to increase popularity and gain votes?


She made this exact same speech before wikileaks (January 2010) [1]. She's making this exact same speech after wikileaks. The hymn sheet doesn't change. [2] By standing up and demanding that other countries behave morally she suggests that we make this demand because we do. Do you think Pinochet did not stand and make these same speeches? Or Hu Jintao? Or Saddam Hussein? Or Thatcher? Or Assad?

Are you imagining she would stand up and tell the truth? Have you been paying attention? If you were to ask her, would she say that flying military aircraft into our airspace would be an act of war, even as we fly ours into Iran's? The list is endless.

This is all theater.

Love the simplicity of their setup (camera on tripod on wheels) https://skitch.com/mikegrace/gds67/screen-shot-2011-10-26-at...


I wonder where the operator has to stand. Maybe it takes it one side at a time?

Otherwise you'd see camera guys hiding behind trees and such, which is an amusing thought.


Interesting to see this on HN since I blogged about this a few weeks ago. http://geek.michaelgrace.org/2011/10/google-street-view-in-y... Not sure exactly when Google first started doing this but I like it.


Cool! Maybe we can get something like this is Austin. Love the idea of focusing on launching and getting it out there. Too many of my projects die in my head and half way through.


Soooooo Cool! Never participated in one of these before. Looks like tons of fun.


Nice! Co-workers will be happy to have this.


Will be really interesting to see what comes of this but I can't help but think back to http://geekandpoke.typepad.com/geekandpoke/2010/12/the-free-...


Awesome!!! Love that Mailgun specializes and focuses on making email easy for me. This means that I get to focus on what I do well and let someone else worry about the details of email stuff.


This is awesome! Haha! Really impressive what can be done with a bit of advertising and some good tools. Reminds me of 2 articles I read a while ago.

1. Advertiser/marketer got his ads in front of the people he wanted to interview with: http://mashable.com/2010/05/13/job-google-ad-words/

2. Reporter got inside information on a murder through her blog and Google analytics: http://lauraamico.tumblr.com/post/11316313807/online-investi...


Grateful for this. This will help protect my friends and family who have no idea what they are doing or what information gets sent over the wire/air.
