I appreciate the thought put into this, and really don't get the nihilistic response of "Oh, it will never work, why even bother trying". If you have suggestions for improvement, raise them, or critiques that need a response,

I had in mind the idea that tools that strengthen liberalism and democracy in the U.S. would also be available to people in other places. E.g. TOR. Also that those supporting liberal democracy around the world should work together. DEFINITE

Generally I support parents taking action to protect their kids from the harms of social media; but coming from a state government, and this one in particular, it comes across as a bit draconian the approach being taken. The hidden agenda d

Why involve the Fed? Doesn't FDIC have existing funding mechanisms since 1933 or so? Not an expert; just my personal model of history is being violated a little here. I just don't understand why invoking the Fed's infinite li

The Christian often sees the Devil around every corner. The socialist sees capitalism. The capitalist sees socialism. Something like that.... Being so fashionable to bash on capitalism these days, I can't help suspecting that it is an

Very recently decided to try getting off Spotify, so I'm in the CD-ripping workflow lately, after about 10 years off. (Also buying a bunch of direct download albums off Bandcamp.) I like to think it's a trend? Been using Asunder t

I built an Android app a few years ago in a similar vein. It would look at texts and call logs (email was next) and use it to prioritize social relationships from your contacts. Then it would let you set goals for contact frequency, make no
