That is not a good title. I don't like them being called 'Monsters', since this totally misses the point and prevents any useful further insights. Both Hitler and Stalin were HUMANS, like all (most) of us. They were once youn

Nice game! I did not think i would finish, but it kept me hooked. The cooperation mechanics were fun.

Thanks, and i must excuse for saying that the page was not worth much, which was influenced by the biased title. The interesting thing about this seems to be Python, which (if my assumption would be somewhat correct) gained some popularity

Very nice, warm and human - like shooting a deer with a selfmade bow makes the meal cooked on a similarily archaic selfmade fire taste so good if you are hungry after a long hike through the uncharted wilderness. And that´s the impression w

It certainly seems wierd, like a quick fix for symptoms with some further possible side effects. The site is down atm, i only saw it partially and it got some strange marketing decisions, like the children toy colors, the rewards for rescue

plumbing, garbage collection, food serving and many more things can be done by machines.

Yes, how do we get the focus off the all-is-economics and refocus on the bigger picture of humanity which also includes all the "useless" non-profit activities that contribute to our culture and humanity, arts, free programming, l

I thought these headlines were about ongoing automation, a still huge uneducated workforce that becomes more obsolete over time, about how humanity is not only about economy but also about culture and arts, and what we can do so that everyb

and the solution to that would have been to travel to the past and tell them: "don´t get a liberal arts degree! don´t study english literature! go apply to that hairdresser offering now!"?. A society puts people into incredible de

yes, it seems there are not enough paid places in society especially for cultural / liberal arts educated people and they end up as baristas or similar, but i dont see this as a bad thing. It puts pressure on automation, on re-thinking

"[...] way past the point of marginal returns in terms of social or cultural advancement [...]" - how do you measure that? We have just started. More free education is always better, and as a bonus it forces society to automate mi

RMS is not about OpenSource, he is about FreeSoftware, as in Software that respects its users freedom. Its an ethical mindset for programmers, not a method of distribution. You could easily program and distribute binary blobs for money as F

Regarding that since 2005 many more people have gotten access to the internet, it may be unavoidable that the percentage of people directly interested in programming specific articles corrects itself to a normal level that reflects interest

Yes, i think the scientific and medical investigations of these substances could take part in a sociostructural change that may allow these drugs to be accessible for responsible personal usage. That also could imply a paradigmshift towards
