Let me reccomend "Toxic sludge is good for you". http://www.prwatch.org/tsigfy.html . Its a book about PR in the twentieth century. Basically the corporate elite has been hiring armies of secret and hidden agencie

So you don't like Zizek. Thats fair. But comparing him to Nietche is not. He is a philosophy popularizer. He writes a lot about some of the greats, himself, like almost all other contempararies not being one himself. My impression is n

That makes sense. Although when looked through policy-making perspective this change is further stabilizing the already dystopian trajectory of international tech laws. The worst of the worst just keeps getting compiled and eventually voted

Why is this not getting massive attention here on Hackernews? Right now a post about a dude hacking together a selv driving car has garnered 5X the amount of votes on this post (not that the other post isn't interesting). Remember that

Lol, googling "Anstrengungsvermeidung", leads to your post on hackernews. Any external references in English?

Interesting video. The presenter is pretty good. At 24.35 he talks about Michael Novak, Facebooks engineer manager that states: "Privacy is a set of experiences that help people feel comfortable", HAH, i love this corporate-speak.

ignoring all mandatory marketing gobbledygook, this change makes most sense to me in the light of google's recent involvement in the NSA scandal, and their general shift from being a search only service, to being a true conglomerate, e

My impression is that much of top-tier financing is riddled with people like her, maybe not as unstable, but just as ruthless and without any empathic regards at all. The only difference is the numbers and the complexity of the scams commit

Seriously, how can any teams inside apple have dried up budgets? It does not make sense to me when i see their profits!?

How long before the bot to human text ratio will make it hard to sift out the garbage? Older generations are already falling for some bot-generated products. See this reddit thread: http://www.reddit.com/r/books/co

Ok so we actually agree in that much of the animosity towards jews stems, not from an inherent theological constant in islam but rather the israeli conflict situation and other regional factors. This was what i was trying to communicate, be

by kossTKR 12y ago
Why are you so agressive in your argumentation that the conflict is so black and white? I am not saying it is israels fault. I am saying that many people of middle eastern origin are very against the way israel conducts itself. And that thi

So what you are saying is that because parts of the Egyptian population, dislike palestinians but still hate jews, their anger must surely stem from inherent religious traits. That is just a bad chain of logic. Rather a the much more logica

"Utterly false". How do you know that? Yes i to can link to a long wikipedia article about Christianity and Antisemitism. Long wiki lists doesn't count as arguments. I don't believe most modern anger against jews stems f

I agree that the phrasing was debatable. Replacing the words: "affect muslims" with "affect everyone" would have been more precise and less biased. But the comparison you just made, equaling todays regular law abiding mu

1) The inability to instantly catch potentially well trained and prepared people on the run in a large capital, does not exclude a surveillance state. 2) The revelations of the recent years has not garnered so much attention because of liv

So you want to skew the conversation from a discussion the legitimacy of torture, to "is violence bad in it's biological essence". The reason people come to stark conclusions like "all violence is bad" is because th
