   Generally, when I disagree with a person, it's not about reality or the present. I disagree about the possibilities, the future. Nobody is saying that society is perfect, nor does anybody claim that we can get rid of all forms of priva

   I do realize that. What if a person is afraid of guns. Would the solution be for the government to subsidize body armors?

   This has been said over and over and over again. Privacy is irrational, a response to fear. Why model a future after a fear?

    Is it a requirement for a hobby not to generate income? Don't most successful people have hobbies as their job? Still can't see the difference.

    I'm not familiar with the implementation details but I can say that this idea is fantastic and much needed. This is one of those things that will forever change humanity for the better. I'm working on something similar, although w

    Rocks and sticks are simpler than computers. By your logic, we should still be using rocks and sticks. Learning is a necessary part of getting efficient with complex tools.

    I'm not going to post such a list. What value would it generate? Such obvious ideas don't need to be said. Moreover, these kind of ideas are a distraction. People go and implement them as if they were all unique and disconnected f

    My idea checks the following: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 10, 11, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 21, 23, 24, 25. Ideas are so cheap people get distracted with lesser ones.

    I already have 1000 different accounts on 1000 different websites. I don't want yet another one. Can someone fix that? Fuck emails. Fuck passwords. I don't want to deal with any of these things. What's the purposed of being l

    I would pay for one app/service that does 80% of what all other apps/services do. One app which I can use to sell things, buy things, send messages, review things, control things, get notifications, track my health, learn things,

    I want as many accounts as I want identities. In my case, that's pretty much one.

    No, the biggest use case for depth sensors on a phone is a 3D scanning. You'll be able to scan your Xbox or coffee table, it will identify it, and then you can do anything with that reference: - List it on Craigslist (with detailed spe

    I can't seem to reply to your last comment. So I'll answer here. I don't favor coercion, so nobody is going to be forced to say or do anything. Refusing to answer would be like refusing to help someone who request your help.

    I don't know that bathrooms need doors. If you don't answer honestly, then people won't consider your answers to be reliable, and therefore everything you say will have less value. Imagine a person that's completely tran
