I don't understand what you mean by "Libertarian types" not articulating a "vision for the future", because it seems to me that that's precisely what this article is doing; Philip Greenspun suggests a course of action which would be advisab

The wonderful thing about this story is that if it had happened a month ago, odds are that we'd be hearing about a pending bailout.

Great questions, thanks. Ideally, I'd allow the student to choose whether or not they'd like to remain anonymous, but all accounts would initiate to an anonymous state. Another reason I'd be doing the e-mail verification thing is so profess

That comes up in part 2 of this interview. I was thinking of just posting a link to that, but it seemed discontinuous.

I completely agree. It appalls me to see, day after day, comments on reddit boasting about how the poster continues to steal media to spite these various organizations. Isn't it obvious that when you steal a piece of media, you're stealing

Uh, can anyone tell me how "your current group has no one with 100pct of their networth on the line" is a reasonable complaint? We're talking economics here. Smart people familiar with basic economics don't risk 100% of their net worth.
