A nuanced conversation on this is well within the popular imagination but outside the limits of this article.

If you think that’s the only opportunity involved, then OK sure, but authority hierarchies offer much more. A feeling of control is what most people are after, and many other things they don’t want to readily admit. But whatever they want,

You can use Paragon Tools to mount HFS drives but I would advise against working on them this way; just copy and unplug one mirror at a time. I’ve been doing it for years and have seen a couple hiccups.

As a 3D artist, I am afraid I am stuck on Windows for life. If I really forced it, the Linux compatibility is always on the up but there are a few big players that just can’t pull it off. They have tried with everything they’ve got. Unreal,

This sounds like basic opportunism... fits well in line with OPs comment.

I doubt it, but a nuanced debate of his ideas on the part of those who purport to be so open to unconventional ideas would be refreshing. We love to promote learning from iteration but still remain amazingly averse to doing so in practice.

Your lack of responses is due to your posing of the question. Answers to this necessitate length and dependencies. Many earn volumes in the theoretical canon. Go have a look. Otherwise, Q&A is a two-way street.

I think this is a very reasonable comprehension of the problem. It’s tough. I think caling these thing “bad” is a little more assuming than would be ideal if we intend a fair trial. Many of the things are just things , results of not havin

I’m applying a model called a chain reaction whereby one event causes another, which proceeds to cause yet another, and so on.

I think this conclusion is premature. Obviously it’s a hard question but I will share a few reasons why I hesitate here: - The last 2 major drug-use epidemics in the US erupted in communities afflicted by major financial hardship and growin

Well, it depends on what you believe is the culprit, but the easy scape goats are long debunked at this point. We will some day realize that the psychological situation of income inequality (or other socioeconomic equivalences) is the root

At least we are moving past the scape goats and taking a thoughtful, considerate look at what is actually happening. I regularly have long conversations about this with my mother, a nurse in Louisville, KY and steadfast American patriot. Sh

Obviously a very different country but, in the US, and dependent on implementation details, there could be a lot to gain in terms of voter turn out.

I haven’t found anything in this thread except the most radical and unconfirmed claims which don’t correlate with some result of corporate capitalist applications of the same technologies. Note I say result because the acts and perpetra

Maybe not pure delusions! But I think you’re otherwise right. It’s slow to penetrate post-modern perspectives, so much that pointing it out seems to only confuse and slow us down. I think it’s sad. At this point, an American with the lab:fa

This looks like a premature assessment. The problem with voting systems are many, and so are the benefits and ways to apply blockchain tech. There are other examples in different comments already, but the most glaring prematurity here sou

This is a poor example for making that point, in the sense that it lacks a moment of realization or revelation. All this example carries is a technicality of yet-to-be-inidentified faith, but not even a hint of justification for considering

The habit of assuming customers want bags seems like one way to characterize much, of not most, of the problem. I get the impression it’s seen as a common courtesy for some, or a gesture. Maybe nothing more than a habit, maybe less than t

Rural American mail trucks are being replaced with barely-running junk minivans or really whatever can be purchased for the cheapest possible amount, probably the lease emission-aware solution I can think of. I’m not sure if these are worke

As much as I agree, I think you’re actually complimenting the success of the ad, no?

Both great points. The thesis of the article (and title!) seems a little premature but interesting stuff.

This is a actual use for blockchain that we could put into action pretty much whenever we can decide to.

I don’t think they are trying to delegitimize it. They questioned if we can even consider it new, and if it’s the problem we should be prioritizing. Both good questions, but either way, cleaning up our government and economy is the most imp

We could call those “patches too. Supporting a free market always requires maintaining an environment that allows it to justify it’s means. It seems there are probably many paths to this end. This is the only proven one as far as I know.
