Absolutely correct, but modernity has elevated convenience to the level of an unassailable requirement of life. Rural areas are superior to urban areas by nearly every possible measure, but the decreased convenience makes them instant no-go

This smells far more like an actual psyops strategy than simple entrapment or career advancement. If it's publicly known that there is an N% chance that your explosives supplier is a Fed (where N > paranoia threshold), that puts a

HN has not become explicitly more statist or less libertarian. More to the point, it has become far far more pro-establishment as its posters have seen success. The fact that progressivism is the zeitgeist of the establishment is ancillary

What's always missing from these discussions is culture. Nobody wants to point out that a century ago, the zeitgeist regarded death as a natural thing, and took only nominally prudent steps to avoid it. Now, we will expend enormous e

The implication of the pro-conspiracy crowd is that Andrea, Meredith, and Nick are all working for the Feds. Is this really the conclusion you're expecting us to reach?

We have fusion, 1 AU away. Utility PV gives us an EROEI or around 11. That's good enough, such that a focus on storing the output trumps the development of more abundant local production.

If you have to develop 100% accurate human detection and avoidance systems in order to avoid catastrophic tissue damage for users of a mild convenience, maybe you should pack it in. Some things are worth the risk. Spaceflight, experimental

Even Vox is less biased than Rational Wiki on the topic. Much better overview: http://www.vox.com/2016/4/18/11434098/alt-right-explained

I'm curious how he was 'invaluable' if the accusations of plagiarism are true. Other people are responsible for his contributions, in that case. The technically incompetent but socially competent taking credit away from where

If he was plagiarizing original research and raping other community members, he was most certainly not an asset to the community.

Indeed. Which is why the widespread social stigmatizing and LEA spying of militia membership is so very effective, and so very worrisome. No reasonable organized resistance could ever arise in the US, as it stands - even if despotism took h

Very nice find. What are the business unit motivations behind critical suppliers like ASUS repeatedly violating customer trust in this manner? At what point in the management chain is the decision reached to sacrifice reputation for - whate

If this were true, their refusal to use endpoint authentication, TLS or otherwise, would be even more damning than a simple breach.

Ordinarily, you would find agreement with me. But it's instructive to note that both Andrea and Meredith have been firmly opposed to social justice mobs on every other issue prior to this. I would consider their claims with some addi

Question to the proprietors: How would you prevent proliferation of solutions to levels on github, etc, as has happened with Thomas's cryptopals challenges?
