As much as I like Fresco's vision, it sounds to me like saying: "hey, you know all that code we wrote for Society 1.0 in the last couple thousand years? let's throw all that out and write Society 2.0 from scratch" and he

I interpret "soul", "spirit" and such terms as a poetic concept to represent the kernel of being, as in, what defines individuality. If you understand conscience as the flow of conscious states, what defines you should b

If you think long and carefully enough, you'll find out "evil" is just something that would offend or harm other people. Showing that you can log into someone else's account with info they provided you is like saying &qu

The "brainwashing" part is not related to the repetition, but the way you "acquire" the information, "acquire" on the sense of taking it for yourself. If you learn something through repetition, it's a good

People can already get comfortable living an "easy" life of party and shitty jobs till a child happens and then they're screwed. Worse than that, lots of people have no choice, they inherited no capital and thus can't af

A location based value would never work. If people could choose to live in a more developed area for no cost at all, they will most certainly move there, increasing the demand for goods there and thus increasing the cost of life there which

Dude, you mad. It doesn't mean there is no risk or no effort on the entrepreneur's part, just that most people doesn't even have the privilege of taking that risk.

I remember when I switched away from tables, it was due to a performance issue(back in 2008). I could have the div based layout render about 700ms faster. I never went back to full table layout, but I never ditched tables for layout purpose

I like Musk's take: "work on the most important thing".[0] If money is enough to drive you, try to find out which is more profitable should do it, but being useful and good to people and mankind in general is an added bonus a

Hate the game, not the player. Being mad at the underpaid support guy won't get you anywhere, being nice might. Capitalism trends towards monopoly, and a monopoly doesn't have to give a shit about how they treat customers as custo

Erlang was developed to solve problems that are quite common in Web Development like concurrency, high availability and so on. I see Elixir basically as a user-friendlier version of Erlang with some added goodies. So I think it makes perfec

That's what I meant by "mostly". Indeed it does have influence from scheme but it is not "scheme in c clothing" as people have put it.

I'd pick Juarez Cirino's book "Radical Criminology". It reeks of ultraidealist marxism but I think the observations it makes on the workings of the criminal system in capitalist societies is simply enlightening. He draws

Apples and oranges. You're comparing SPA paraphernalia with a library that basically gives you a sane cross browser JS API's and some goodies. Yes, you can develop highly interactive, reasonably complex web apps with jQuery, but t

I wonder why lisp isn't as popular as say python for AI, ML, and stuff. I see these fields as having a strong academic tone, and it feels like racket or clojure could be bigger when it comes to that.

Truth is almost never comfortable because we come from a world of ideals. If you expect perfect, anything you get is shitty. If you accept you're a conscious imperfect animal, being able to communicate with other conscious beings is in

Poetry is a lot less about form than most people think. It's actually the opposite if you think about it, poetry is to write freely.

I think the question should be "what should I read?". Sure most of what's written is bs. But I really like books as a medium , reading inspires a reflexive form of cognition. Even if you read the same content,online you'

I guess the hard part is to find something complex enough that you'll get motivated and simple enough that you can get done on your own in the free time you have. And software is pretty good at teaching you how complex simple things ca

silv3r does have a point tho, increasingly pages change according to information they know about you. I'm from Brazil but I usually use browsers in english, which leads to weird experiences in some websites including google.
