   Yes, this higher abstractions tendency is clearly away from "Flat is better than nested". Creating good abstractions is so difficult (and important) that it should not be done lightly by everyone. The recent proliferation of type

   I like to say that peer review is what happens after a paper is published.

   This field is a joke and should be mercilessly mocked. These manipulated models do not represent reality. I look forward to gaming the systems that are produced by these people.

   I got an entitlement vibe from their comment which is why I brought up theft. Indeed yes, sabotage is worse than theft.

   Freedom allows you to find a way to survive on your own terms.

   Or create your own company. Sabotaging someone else's company and feeling entitled that they should give you money for your activity sounds like... theft?

    Well, Marx will always appear correct from a Sociological perspective. It's at the foundation of that perspective.

    Wikipedia and community wikis also centralized (drained?) a lot of knowledge that might have otherwise existed on separately hosted sites linked through webrings.

    Psilocybin has a distinct spiritual phenomenology that not all hallucinogens have. While there is a difference between a faith and a spiritual experience, they both work within a religious framing of life, which might be helping the individ

    Your dismissal of 12-steps system purely due to it being faith-based, is unscientific. Psilocybin (a religious experience inducing substance) appears to be a very promising treatment.

    Even if the majority was initially on board, one could argue that communism inevitably leads to authoritarianism and is necessary for its continuation. I strongly doubt that a communist system would be ok with everyone not being onboard. It

    I agree with everything you said, except for China not being communist. The CCP's take is "Mao was 70% right" and officially identifies as communist. Its stated end goal is a communist society. It is in service of this goal t

    You'd still need to keep something private like a PIN or private key.

    Organisations of professions should be held to extremely high standards. They are entrusted with more and in return given more privileges than any simple "collection of people".

    It doesn't look like you're that good at "reducing tension", as you describe it in your initial post. Maybe you should not be contributing to the kernel then?

    Labelling something as "toxic" likely implies "bad for the success of the ecosystem". So no, they are definitely not orthogonal. They are (presumably negatively) correlated. The point made was: seeing that the Linux proj

    It's safer to assume that what you perceive as toxic is actually working much better than what you have in mind, given the success of the Linux ecosystem.

    Automatically tracking time of an issue as it moves from Doing to Done and maybe then predicting (a default) Time Estimate based on the textual description and past issues would be nice :)

    These are 5 dimensions so it sounds like you could tend to be closer to the middle of them. IIRC as you mature one's behavior "spreads out" a bit over these dimensions.

    Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think eyestrain has any long term effects. Mobile technology won't make people's vision worse.

    I enjoyed reading your breakdown of culture and its malleability. Any good books or links that discuss these ideas?

    BitBucket and GitHub both launched in 2008, as far as I can tell. So I wouldn't say BitBucket was an attempt to steal GitHub's business.
