Off-topic but relevant: does anyone have a good up-to-date tutorial on how to get started with cloud computing? Ie different alternatives, and pros/cons of each. And some info on how to get started doing common tasks.

It also reminds me of the sorts of people who are into PUA manuals. Care to elaborate? You say it like it's obvious to everyone that being into those manuals is a heinous crime, or at least prima facie evidence of humongous douchebagdom i

As a personal development junkie, I find war to be very problematic (well duh). Killing people is just so... unenlightened. Then again, I find the warrior ethos or what you might call the male Warrior archetype to be of great interest. It's

I think more than anything, the metaphysical view of what money is is totally bizarre. It's like money gets lumped into this special category of its own. Money is just society's tickets to gain access to the collective productive capital

PHP was my first love (actually my second, after QBasic) when I was a teenager. Would love to get back into it now that it's a "real" language. Got any good tips about books on modern PHP programming?

This is the essence of lifestyle design. Finding the optimal balance between income, free time and mobility. (For me, free time is the most important one by far). I have a pet theory: after a certain point, salary increases become a proxy f

What's with the obsession with free beer? What's next, hackerspaces with liquor permits and bartenders? Wait, that would be pretty cool...

Are you the type of person who should be in power? If not, work on that first. And if you are, you don't need trendy SWPL causes-du-jour.

I think the model is spot on for the lower 4 circuits (Bio-Survival, Territorial/Emotion, Linguistic/Dexterity, Sexual/Social/Tribal) and explains a lot about why people are the way they are. It's just a map, not reality itself. RAW himself

Exactly. In Transactional Analysis, they would say that those types view themselves as ill-behaved Children and identify society as the Parent. The mature dissident (the Adult) looks very different from this, and is a lot more effective too

Good reading to become a mature (ie not just childish) anti-authoritarian: "Prometheus Rising" by Robert Anton Wilson and "No more Mr Nice Guy" by Robert Glover. I would also throw in "King, Warrior, Magician, Lover" by Robert Moore, and ma

Right. And maybe a startup is needed in the iMagazine advertisement niche? Matching up magazines and advertisers, doing analytics, running campaigns, that sort of thing. This actually sounds quite interesting to me...

Content is expensive, depreciates after publish time and the majority of its value is realized within moments of publication. I don't know if that's always true. I've never paid for an article and we only use 100% original content (ie was

"Pfft, who pays for information you could find free on the Internet." I'm in exactly that boat, as I run a magazine as well and have been thinking those thoughts. I even use the same print on demand company as HNM (Magcloud). Seeing this

I like having my subconscious manipulated by headset-adorned white women, you insensitive clod! (Serious point: the reason it works is because it works. Ie "sex sells".)
