> Google and Facebook may know too much about you, but I'm not really worried about them selling that data, which is some small relief. Why aren't you worried about that? How about in 15 years when they've gone downhill a

Freedom of Speech is a basic human right. Like the right to life, liberty, and property. Can SuperMegaCorp, Inc. decide to murder me? They're not the US Federal Government after all, so they aren't infringing on my Freedom of L

Yeah, it's really weird to me coming from the rest of the Internet to have random people I've never met say things like "Beautiful", "Great work", "I love it", etc., instead of, say, what you'll

I did Common Lisp back in college for several years, it's a great language. But good luck getting a job with it. Clojure on the other hand, I've been paying my bills with that for the last few years. The main difference is a mu

And at the same time give these new young immigrants a basic income so that they don't need to work.

Thanks. I don't have a problem with GMOs (I'm really into genetics personally, I did natural computation during my MS thesis). And the lawsuits against farmers seem reasonable given their seed contracts, more reasonable than softw

Your argument in paragraph 2: the police are too violent and "shoot first and ask questions later". Your argument in paragraph 3: only the police should have guns. Umm ...?

Italy makes some really good firearms, I'm a big fan of Beretta. Too bad only criminals can easily have them in Italy itself. Life would be a lot safer for these people if people besides criminals and bribed cops had them.

There's always been atheists and the like, they are mentioned in the Old Testament, and it's probably always been and always will be a very small minority. And a lot of the so-called "New Atheists" these days aren'

I migrated my single player world (dating back to Beta 1.8) to a server so some of my coworkers at the time could play too. It's not really huge, but I am strangely emotionally attached to it. My server was down for a few months (and

Dropbox isn't the court system, nor should it be. It isn't their job to decide who should or shouldn't be in jail.

Calling it a "fraudulent war" is a political view, and quite the minority view at that.

It's pretty absurd that so many people are this willing to attack a woman just because of her political views. This kind of crap is what Fox News uses to claim all liberals are jack-booted fascists just waiting to setup USSR v2.0 here

My main Linux box has quite a few hard drives in it from a large range of time. About 4 weeks ago the oldest of them all died: it is from 2007, so about 7 years old, which I think is pretty good for a consumer drive that's on 24/
