It masks the obvious agenda; but yea, it also presents problems of its own.

Because it's on a "men's rights" site, which will set off huge red flags.

It doesn't directly kill anyone, but it affects macro factors such that more people will die as a result.

My first programming gig was in a windows shop in a small market doing plug-in programming on a proprietary platform. I stayed way too long, but my next gig was really interesting and paid over twice as much. I had to move to a bigger mar

Really, what it comes down to is that with a language like Clojure, that has very isolated side effects and works primarily with pure functions, getting to high test coverage requires a lot less testing code.

Node-webkit is a browser.

I think it's a specific rejection of the notion that there ever existed a time before governments. Governments existed, in some form, the moment particles started interacting.

There are no legal rights in the state of nature. There is no liberty in the state of nature. These things don't exist as features of the land, they're concepts created by humans to curtail specific types of human behavior.

That's kind of the direction Lighttable seems to be going. The entire editor runs inside node-webkit, so you can have a browser window running inside your editor.

I can't say that I find any of these critiques relevant.

Fiat (credit) came first. As trust in central authorities broke down, barter & convertible currencies came into vogue. A good book on the subject: http://www.amazon.com/Debt-The-First-000-Years/dp/1612191290

All dollars are created out of nothing. That's what fiat is . Worthless bits of paper you have to acquire to not go to jail. It's the way societies have organized themselves since the advent of agriculture.

They can also prevent programmers from making a certain subset of good programs. This is less useful.

Is that what direct implies in this context? AFAIK it was never defined; i.e. having access to a bit-for-bit copy of their database wouldn't necessarily be 'direct'.

Extremely loaded question. There's a documented increase in pollution, but trying to tie specific deaths to the increase is extremely difficult. We're talking about macro effects, not micro effects; so e.g. cancer deaths might i

Since when does using the weasel word 'direct' entail any functional difference?

They paid for Prism compliance. The Prism program entails access to the data.

So if they're getting money directly from the NSA, it's hard for them to claim that they were in the dark as far as allowing the NSA direct access to their data.

They did tread water. I'd go with 'middling'.

You're definitely on the right track, but you're omitting the factor which binds the value of money to the value of labor: taxes. Taxes force (upon pain of inprisonment) people living within the territory of an issuing authority
