I hear you, but I think some of that is some sort of blind support, rather than an informed opinion that many of the viewers would necessarily repeat. Just a matter of wanting to cheer your team on with no regard for fact or not. There&#x27

It essentially is an invented problem, which was immediately abused by both sides of the political spectrum, so an absolute version of it is hard to nail down. There's little or no proof I've seen that shows any significant number

They say they're free from suffering, maybe they are, maybe they aren't, but they can't tell me how to repeat that in a way I can reproduce for myself. Which is my entire point. Maybe something worked for them, but won't

> Spiritual inquiry of this nature is not completely illogical. Source? I cannot name a time when it has produced meaningful and repeatable results. Therefore I'd say it's illogical.

I didn't seem to get a paywall at the link, did you? If so, out of curiosity, do you block Referers?

This is not "understanding how things work" in a meaningful technical way, but in a non-testable, non-provable, "spiritual" way. One which I don't care much for and which I find frequently misleading.

How does "spiritual" junk like this get on the hackernews front page? Does a substantial portion of the readership follow woo like this? I think it's time to do some bayesian filtering or something.

I can't speak to current day, but in the past it's been very easy to social engineer telecoms. So especially for high value accounts this shouldn't be used.

Just install prosody and open up the config file. It includes lots of comments and I believe there's even a web admin interface you can enable. XMPP SRV record documentation can be found here, if you need to use it: https://

Did you also notice that Google's messaging system pretty much died out around that point in favor of Skype and similar? I used to see people mention GTalk all the time, but I haven't seen anything similar in years. No one has men

So what, it's all or nothing for you? Even if there is an easy to use solution that you can set someone up with in about 10 minutes, that's absolutely valueless because it means that less than 100% of messages will use it?

I said mental labour, not manual. Yes, most physical labor may be automated... eventually, a lot of that is still fairly far off - we don't even have completely automated farms yet. I'm more talking things like development, writin

People can do mental labor. Horses can't. Automation can't.

I think this is sort of silly - many disruptive technological advancements have happened without causing a war. Many of the advancements you speak of had nothing to do with war time even, they were made by private companies building things

They were. They were disruptive, sure, they might have cost a lot of people, but eventually they resulted in a better, richer (if not in wealth, at least in terms of value), more scientifically advanced, more entertained and more productive

What makes you think we're at a peak of mental productivity? For the most part the mental labor we're automating isn't actual mental labor, but physical labor things which are difficult to make a computer do - like drive, coo

Quite probably, G+ also doesn't beg for login like Facebook does sometimes so it's easier to use without an account.

IPFS, Freenet, Zeronet... maybe more significantly Maidsafe is trying to do this with a cryptocurrency so you get paid a bit to store files. It's a quite clever idea.

True, Tarsnap is pretty on-point there, but it's also not cheap. $0.25/GB is much more than S3 ($0.023) or B2 ($0.005) - the tarsnap dev says it's because he does blocking and that makes it so much more valuable. But and ther

If you posted something in the last 6-8 years or so it'll be readily available. Around that point most of the big commercial usenet providers just kept growing their storage without stopping. Drives got that cheap. With something like
