I forgot Aristotle's name, and I was in Mobile so I couldn't watch the video to look it up. My point was, making an example out of Aristotle's mistake is only "legitimate" if you yourself don't make any major m

Okay yeah, he's absolutely and clearly talking about the military drafts, he literally says it in his talk. Loosely quoted, "if we look at conscientious objectors for military drafts for all wars during the 20th century, it's

That's weird then, I don't really see Alan as the kind of person who'd gloss over something so obvious, especially after what he told about how it is basically the very thing that drives his lifetime of work... ... Not to for

Peterson is a controversial figure for many reasons at the moment. I've taken the Future Authoring Program, and although I have no data to back my feeling up with, it is thorough, and very helpful. I had never before reflected on my pa

I was on /r9k/ before what he did. He was definitely on their radar, and there were nearly weekly discussions on him. After the rampage he definitely got a lot more attention, but he definitely had a strong presence before.

The only thing that comes to mind is Nelson's ZigZag, but to call it practical and usable in its current state (gzz), is already a stretch. http://xanadu.com/zigzag/ Look for gzz It's a super interesting stru

Have you heard of the concept of "homomorphic encryption"? It allows someone to perform computations on encrypted pieces of data, without actually ever having access to the raw data itself. I have no idea how realistic or how &quo

Unfortunately, you're totally right. I like Ted Nelson a lot, mostly because I relate to his chaotic way of thinking, and I admire his ideas, and the work he puts towards making his ideas reality even more so. Yet, even in his more rec

Any idea where I can find a binary of the mentioned "Azz" program? I'd like to try an alternative to Gzz, because I find Gzz to have a horrible user-experience, the terminal might be easier.

I own one. I use it daily, the part about the toys is very true. It's, I think, 4 - 5 months old now, and I've burned through 4 tips. It comes with 12 tips total though, so that'd be approximately 12$ a year. The bigger probl
