Worries Over Defense Department Money for Hackerspaces
- theevocater 14y agoThis seems terribly overblown. Do people forget the fact that Darpa finances things like the Darpa Challenge every year? And lets not forget that the Internet itself was once simply ARPANET. Also that really cool internet challenge where groups had to find 10 red balloons at geographically diverse locations. It seems like dumb fearmongering to think that an organization that has made bets like that is simply trying to get kids to mass produce weapons or something.
- bwelford 14y agoI agree. If you don't shine a light on all aspects of cyber-space, the only ones who know about it are the 'bad guys'. We all need to be more aware of the extra freedoms and the extra obligations the Internet imposes on us all.
