It's wonderful to see the problem of depression being targeted in a new and interesting way, but I'm very scared for the chance of this being exploited in 4chan-style raids. They've trolled everything from cancer community fo

A perverse and scary outlook they might possibly have: keep prison conditions in a way so that you continue to see high recidivism rates. Because if the prisoners keep coming back, that means you have easy repeat business. There is of cours

Reminds me of this video: http://www.wimp.com/sanfrancisco/ -- uninterrupted San Francisco footage from 1905. Very surreal, extremely captivating.

Funny, I also happen to think that the idea you took away from my comment was the opposite of the idea that it communicated. Okay, forgive me for getting even more meta here, but: You're operating under the assumption that I would dogg

Rayiner: your comment is marked as dead, I think because you used the word circle.... Perhaps try re-posting without it. Edit: actually here, I did it for you: False dichotomy. Rallies in San Francisco are just excuses for like minded pe

One, I don't think it's the HN law that all threads should follow in some precise linearity: there's such a thing as free-form debate. Two, my comment did have something to do with your comment. Three, you very often reply li

You bring up good points, and I agree that a lot of these issues are very difficult to grapple with: it's difficult to pin down how evil something is, how much you're contributing to it, and whether you should take part in it when

I have had nearly the exact same experiences as you on this issue. I came around on my thoughts on CP -- I as well now think that CG CP should be legalized. But I've been thinking recently: if pedophilia is truly something as legitimat

Reading what you just wrote reminded me of the famous Edmund Burke quote: "All that is necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing". If it had not been for the acquiescence of engineers who took part in the creatio

I'm curious about the storage media they might have... is it just plain old rotational harddrives? Who made them -- Seagate? Western Digital? It's curious that no word has come out from that front -- "wow, this customer is re

There are some social residence programs that place minorities/lower-class folks in areas with good schools, high average incomes, etc. If I recall correctly (I heard it on NPR a few months ago) the program had varying degrees of succe

And yet, if we actually decide to do Iraq-scale rebuilding of our inner cities you'll see people shouting "SOCIALISM!!!" Makes me wonder how we ever won the populace support to spend that kind of money on Iraq/Afghanista

The solution has to be practical and doable. It seems to me campaigning for boarding schools as a solution to the ills of society and getting them open is more doable than somehow getting people to take the initiative.

You're completely missing the point -- it's unfeasible, unpractical, and unproductive hitting millions of people on the head with $5 wrenches. This is the entire point -- they can do it easily with everyone now, they're not h
