The garbage is collected in one huge explosion. And then even more garbage is made, so that's why we don't mind leaks...... xD

One of the most economically unequal societies in the West is the USA. Why does Socialism still fare so badly over there, then? Clearly rich Americans should be taxed more, and Americans in general should give up their freedom in order to e

I might be wrong, but IMHO the amount of billionaires don't really constitute a big enough population to say something definitive about that claim. Clearly the list of rich people isn't static. A billionaire might be shoved off th

Redistribution, by whose power? Who has the right to decide what gets redistributed, and why? Is there a way to redistribute that is objectively fair?

Hindering someone from grabbing an emdash with copy-scripts is pretty petty. Edit: Anyway, reminds me when I used to troll my buddies with the ANSI.SYS hack.

The assumption that unenmployed causes all sorts of trouble, and thus should rather be in jail... Sure doesn't sound like a country that values freedom.

tl;dr Only if they gain a monopoly. Either way, I'll be looking for free solutions. The main reason I don't use Spotify, and why Spotify can never reach me, is Bandcamp and the fact that I really like my RSS feed.

What do you think about NaCl for a project like this?

iPad is favoured by many artists for making illustrations and art. Outside this niche, I tend to agree with the article.

It's Wikipedia. You're free to improve it. <3

You guys seriously need to lighten up...

You just used the word "should". That implies the philosophical concept of morality. What makes you think that you're more qualified to set the rules above any individual they might affect? Let him who is without sin cast the

I didn't. You just assumed I did, which is different.

The context is that the Fed serves the USA, and I don't live "there" either. So "your (...) economy" is of course referring to the American economy.

But unlike just about all public agencies, stock holders get to keep a fair amount too. Not to mention that a great deal of tax money goes towards servicing interest on loans. On top of that; well, let's not mince words: "Quanti

True that, but... You can do it too! :D I'm sure most people in here are acquainted with the graph database. Or with just about any tool to scrape the net for info. I'm just surprised more people aren't doing it. After all, i

Why? What's "good" about it? What if you don't want to? Should you be forced to, just because a government chose your software? On what grounds? Are there any bad things that could come out of this, aside from the obviou

I understand what you're saying, though it's still whataboutism that tries to compare apples to pears. The USA essentially still cares about your privacy and individual rights. China doesn't. In the USA, where there are infr

I totally agree with you. What do you think such a wide-reaching and evil policy will do to groups that essentially are trying to do good?

I'm not sure I understand what you mean. Nobody said the USA is perfect, but compared to China they pretty much are.

An intelligence agency put an ad in for a "break-in specialist." The ad promised a very diverse line of work, for a tidy guy who knows how to "cover his tracks." If agencies are putting "ads in the paper" to hi

That's like saying that there's undocumented crime on the moon. You don't know that. But you have a theory that you most likely need more funding to look into. ;) On the other hand, if you have documentation to the contrary,

Funny. The USA seems to have the complete opposite view to yours! :D The Federal Reserve is just about as close to a private company as any, running your entire economy. Certainly it's a for profit venture. But then that's profi

That's an interesting claim, all the time regular banknotes and coins offer way better alternatives for doing just that (e.g. money laundering and black market transactions), due to their much better relative untraceability as compar

To clarify: Necessarily, if Bitcoin was illegal, any transaction with it would of course be illegal. :p That isn't to say that any and all transactions made with it, would be for the exchange of illegal goods. You can of course also us

I think your view is very interesting. How does one go about destroying a threat to the current currency system?
