Stock investing and raising capital as spectator sport. Complete with peculiar spectator sport journalism. I imagine the set of people who care about "perceptions" of how a stock does on the day of the IPO will be extremely narrow

The Content ID juggernaut was devised by Google to placate the copyright holders and content creators whose backs YouTube had been built on. As it stands, 90%+ of all music played on YouTube is produced by the oligopoly of the three major m

Public key authentication of clients (as opposed to servers ), has been part of SSL since v1.0. This is just adding a misdirection, the underlying protocol is the same X.509 we've had since the late 1980s. The main problems are: 1.

I understand what you're saying, however, for the ISIS project to work, it is not necessary that all Muslims agree with them. In fact, ISIS are more than happy to genocide all Muslims who disagree, notably all the Sunni Muslims, and ha

You're correct. Defamation set in print is libel.

They just declare the rulers apostate , and poof, no government. Same trick the medieval European rulers would use to get rid of their rivals, by the way (they had to convince the Pope). If their daily practice agrees with the Scriptures,

If you're not a Hittite, Amorite, Canaanite, Perizzite, Hivite, or Jebusite, you should be safe. That's not a snark, by the way. Contrary to popular myth, the Bible doesn't prescribe warfare on any extant nation, group of peo

You and the grandparent don't necessarily disagree. "Check your privilege" is a great thing to say in a discussion, and an idiotic thing to say in a debate. It's been thoroughly discredited by being used as an ad-hominem

The present argument is whether the which hunt would prevent them from advancing their career in the same field. It is contended that it never does really. Sure it is a dick move, but that's not being disputed.

I don't think you're making your point very well: Being forced not to bully Bluelocks does not inconvenience you. Having the opportunity (not obligation) to read something you don't want to read does not inconvenience you eit

You are right in general; strange and wonderful ideas have started as peculiar heresies. But this particular movement is reactionary. They are anti-intellectual, anti-free-speech, anti-due-process. That's why I and many other people fi

I think it's more like speaking up when somebody is harangued and bullied is the right thing to do. You don't curtail their free speech, you just tell them that "my friend over here is not a racist, what you're saying is

I'm just absolutely incredulous at the notion that we go into a war with a fierce enemy, one with a penchant for terrorism, and then act like this came out of a blue, and act as if this was unprovoked? Where is our bravery, our stoicis

You're thinking different war theatre. Negotiating with ISIS will not bring the fruits you envision. You know when we say "we don't negotiate with terrorists"? These guys don't negotiate with us .

I may be crazy, but it may have something to do with us waging a war on them. What are they supposed to do, take the bombings sitting down, and never retaliate?
