I agree, I actually meant "central planning" as in "your behavior is centrally planned by your brain". "Consciousness" was a pretty awkwardly chosen word, obviously.

Except the cases where central planning works, like (DUH!) Minitel (until the internet came, it didn't fail, it just got upgraded, duh), going to the Moon (distributed attempt at reaching the moon, also known as the living pyramid), justice

Correlate all data with foursquare too, and on the morning after, send an email with the subject like "Know what Robert really likes? Chocolate. Here's where to get a brand that's like his favorite but he never had it."

Hey, darling, as a european feminist sex-neutral naturalist queer socialist, I tell you, you just replaced libertarianism with nationalism. Stop that. And now to the annoying part of telling you exactly why you're wrong: 1. Unless you're wo

Stating the obvious: App Store only software installs, and other DRM solutions. And yes, that has a price that people may or may not be willing to pay. It's somewhat scary, but I'm starting to think that we will be forced to adopt something

Um, I actually learned about Google from BBC I think. I think the only "big" website I've learned about from google is w3schools.

This, also other possible arrangements: * two part times * actually use the daycare, and consider the stories as the usual legends, of the "we're pissing into your food" variety * any combination of the above

Wait, what, what's wrong with optimizing the brainwashing techniques applied to myself? Yeah, I do prefer seeing ads for stuff I don't need and would never buy than ads for stuff I don't need but it's vaguely possible I might be brainwashed

Hah! In Poland we have a much more secure system. Any attacker needs to know my mother's family name as well. EDIT: d'oh. It's maiden name, obviously.

The problem may be hard to notice or acknowledge for many people, but there's actually a lot of pressure put on people to socialize in some way and interact in some way, and that is mean. Being mean in return may not be the most effective r

No. The outlook when we are all reduced to breeding engines that have to like talking about children or else -- that's depressing. I don't see anything depressing about having a walk in the sun, and then eating whatever I like, while either

While I'm not really calmed by the original article ("my father has nuclear experience"), I'd suggest that it may be just a case of them not being really needed in the area, and moving just in case.

I get similar issues (long page loads, extremely large lag in chat and questions), while via 3G in Poland. It's not solely 3G's fault, because many other sites (including FB chat) work ok, but it's clearly triggered by a specific environmen

Well, if the standard allows autoplay without user consent then it's broken. Just because a standard is doesn't mean everyone should follow it. It should be followed when it's a good standard, and in this case it's arguable.

Ahahahaha no. Even if that's true, I, for one, despise the idea of any kind of audio autoplay for the web, be that flash or html5. If that breaks web games -- tough luck. I might be OK with some kind of whitelist, though -- same way it work

Why not specialized frontends on a common backend? Common accounts for "inlu.st" and "solone.ly" or something, but with ability for activating/deactivating visibility on some domains. I think that both the and community requirements can be

What I was trying to say was that we have to make a decision and thus decide what's better for those people. We can't even ask them without influencing them. Therefore we have to make a decision that seems best for them, even considering ou

That's not good design, that's just the esthetics. It's easy to make a steel plate with a handle, but design should incorporate usability (notification LED, for example) and safety (locking mechanism). Without those it's just pretty bad des

Upvoted, but I have a small disagreement: do NOT take a cat (or any animal) while lonely. You won't truly get rid of loneliness, but you will decrease your motivation (by providing small distractions). Animals are fun, but get friends first

And after all we're just loose clouds of atoms and free will is an illusion, so stop worrying and start liking people. You don't have any choice anyway.

This. I wasn't in an elementary school that bad (Radom, Poland). Still, the young bullies were friends with elder bullies. Some bullies were repeating years, and that meant there was no way I could get as big as them. And, the bullies actua

You'd notice. The pedestrian green light wouldn't go green for several cycles of car lights. And, on the other extreme, I've seen lights that go green almost immediately after pressing the button.

The target seems very mobile-specific. HTML5 is better supported on mobile, and the proposed model sometimes fits "desktop" web apps, and almost always mobile web apps. So yes, buzzword, but it fits.

I think the real problem is that once you start looking at animals as intelligent (in some capacity) and capable of suffering (in some capacity) every decision similar to "ok, now lets eat it" start to seem horrendous. But we still need to

Yes, I know about that. I just doubt that it's as effective at expressing precise meanings as methods available for humans ("area within 100km radius from 33.593316 135.943022 is to be considered unsafe," and let's not get started on border

It's a malformed version of a genuine research principle. Attachment to research objects is often cited as a deficiency of a publication. But it's not disqualifying by itself, and has nothing to do with advocacy.
