I disagree, and I think the problem is the framing. Call it rape porn, because it is. What would you think of someone trading files like "REAL video of ISIS soldiers gang raping and beheading girl!" Child porn, especially the &quo

An interesting point I heard here I think, long ago... The fact that tor is full of stuff like kidporn is actually a positive commentary on our society. It means that almost everyone, even people with wildly unpopular views, feel comfortabl

So you're saying most of the UK's government and media should be wiretapped?

This actually adds a lot of nuance to the argument -- one of the reasons you can't just legislate anything is that you must take into account not only technical limitations and requirements but also the characteristics of the local pop

Large address spaces give you more than just more addresses. There's room in IPv6 addresses to put meaningful information such as cryptographically significant identifiers. It also allows for stateless auto-configuration with ridiculou

You don't. You fix security more fundamentally instead of doing ham-fisted things like that. IPv6 is going to require that we stop using IP-based hacks as a substitute for actual authentication and robust protocols.

I remember Electric Sheep too... So much better than badly drawn sneering blobs and stick figures expressing smug superiority or banal cynicism. Man did Internet culture ever turn to trash after ~2001. 90s Internet culture: what you posted.

That's pretty nifty, but it seems like something a really good compiler could achieve automatically. Of course I'm not sure if any compilers actually are that good.

I've never had to use 'goto' in C++ except to break from a nested loop. In C++ labeled breaks would make 'goto' completely obsolete. In C it would still have use in the implementation of orderly error handling --

A major reason for freemium vs. cheapium is to minimize friction. Freemium signups can be achieved in a few clicks. But if you charge anything , now the user has to pull out a credit card, enter digits, etc. That additional investment of t

A second point would be that China's consumer class is booting up. The US wants to position itself to sell into that, effectively to reverse the trade deficit.

It's a little shallow but not wrong. It definitely got me thinking in that direction, and it's a great deconstruction.

I think the author is talking more 'meta' than this, about the dark side of the deep human desires and archetypes that these stories tap into. It goes far beyond the near-universal story template of the 'return of the king.&#

Good point. It'd be easier to pull off today due to the fragmentation and fractalization of modern culture. By mining smallish, fringe, and new aesthetic movements you could portray a convincing future aesthetic to a mostly naive audie

This is utterly brilliant and absolutely needed to be said. I don't see it as bashing Tolkien per se, but as pointing out the dark side of nostalgic fantasy. Tolkien's fiction is wonderful to read, but it can also be deconstructed
