>The US is strange: It will wring its hands over low voter turnout while also actively making it more difficult to vote. Hint: the people wringing their hands and the people making it more difficult to vote are not the same groups.

Something like Gmail should exist.. everyone should have free access to a basic web based email service. However, it shouldn't be a corporate product. It should be a public service, paid for by the taxes everyone already pays and re

Well, I can tell this was written by a young person and someone in California. Nothing wrong with that, it's just that she has a lot of expectations that are going to be really hard for any company to meet. It's awesome if you ha

Agreed. In fact, some of the best social organizations are the ones forced on us by random chance... neighborhoods are like this. Any social group based on a common interest (including board games) won't be a cross section of any cul

Agreed. I think the problem is likely that neither this teacher nor any students really understand what "show, don't tell" means, and tend to overuse it when they think they do. That's just a guess, though. This article

The problem is that they want to keep his ideas and achievements, but don't want to keep him. They're free to walk away from Stallman and the movement he created, but they won't because they can't let go of the shiny. I

This last is a major contributing factor to the volume of those asking for his ouster... they are free to walk away and not use GNU or other free software, but they don't want to. They want to have their cake and eat it too, they want

No, it's part of human nature to be concerned about threats to ourselves above almost everything else. It's not only natural, but it's probably not possible to fully turn off this tendency. Claiming that people should automa

Regrettably, humanity is not as advanced or kind a species as we think we are. Politics and war mean that it's not possible to stop this dam. On the bright side for the archaeology, the water will protect some parts of the city, and i
