Wouldn't you say that things like hypertension are only the result of something? What I am thinking of is this: Listen to what your body tells you when you do the things that lead to problems like hypertension.

It's quite interesting - the way we have evolved as a society has completely broken the link between "us and our body". We have stopped listening to it a long time ago. If we really listened to our bodies, we wouldn't ea

The open-source approach is our own chance to purge corruption in the technology layer. We may not yet have implemented the idea perfectly, but keep in mind the following: With every new player (government, company, user) joining the open-s

No need to. For anybody who's read the Snowden leaks it's 100% plausible that the NSA owns society through hardware backdoors. Conclusion: We need 100% open-source hardware ASAP if we're to become a sane society. Edit: Anyone

You're assuming targeted hacking. I'm not - lots of people hunt for machines to add to their botnets.

At least one of the big hosters even lets you have VMs for free for a couple of days (you get your money back if you cancel). That's more than enough time for an automated process to check out tons of VMs (to add to your botnet) for fr

What's interesting is the fact that the opioid crisis is a result of a couple of ultra-rich guys wanting to be even richer. Trump appears to be surrounded by people who are willing to sacrifice public health for their private excessive
