It's true openness isn't free of side effects. I think a mining company that has exclusive possession over a public resource should be rewarded with the value creation (mining) and not by possession (natural resources). A governme

Big data has the potential to create either unprecedented equality or inequality. Transparency is a key word in this post (I often Ctrl+F to see how many matches for "transparen" I see in this type of posts). When it comes to soft

Beautiful and inspiring read about exploring one's individual freedom. May society find it's freedom by collaboration and sense of community. We as a society have the resources and technology to achieve much more freedom. Freedom

I always felt Mozart had some kind of a formula that made him so productive in his short life. Now I read he had. For MOZARTish music at least.

To get trust you need transparency. And by transparency I don't access to information but to information in the form of knowledge. We to to upgrade government to the digital age to do so.

Agree with what you said. I also believe we need to keep UBI high in discussion to move it forward.

I would argue that a well-known language is fairly expressive in the sense that it is well-known. Imagine English itself was a programming language - this is the best. But for now I would recommend using those who are commonly used in the c

Lack of social safety nets creates unhealthy bias toward preserving jobs that could be automated completely. UBI (universal basic income) actually gives everyone motivation to further automate - the key to freedom. I expect to see more titl

Let me start by saying this is one of the most important topics to discuss. I would argue that UBI itself will have unexpectingly positive effect on productivity by removing the bias causing people to justify unnecessary work because they n

KISS may also mean keep the world simple by not adding too many languages. Maybe this language is the most beautiful in the world, but when it comes to languages, standard ugliness is at-least as beautiful as non-standard beauty. No offence

I am bothered as-well by the "Eat, sleep, code, repeat" phrase. We must not make things complicated just to create work. Work should lead to freedom. I understand it is scary when a work is no longer relevant. But this is not a te

Maybe one gets more socially conscious with age as he realizes how much he depends on society? And as for learning efficiency, to appreciate it, don't forget that as you mature, you also need to "unlearn" old paths. But that

To improve fundraising, I believe the expenditures should be transparent. And the funded elements of the organization should have progress bar, like they have in kickstarter.

For me the whole point of technology is to free us. I want to write code that solves a real problem. 90% of my time is spent thinking about what problem to solve.

What I like about open-source is the "transparency" nature of it more than the "free-of-charge" aspect. I think the the perfect business is somehow open and transparent, and at the same time monetizing. People love to pa

A(programming) language gets very powerful by simply being accepted as standard. Take English as example.

I agree that "People don't know what open sourcing even means" and even that starts to change. We can use better terms like "open government". I don't think the government, as powerful as it be, can oppose the

How about open sourcing a government? Maybe it worth a discussion.
