The best programmer in the world may never have even seen a computer for all we know.

To me this sounds like utter nonsense. I never actually met a woman who had a problem with baldness. Only men. It's like a certain other subject that only men worry about and maybe 1% of women.

Well I star things just to remember to go back and see if they're any use to me: so I think that should give you an indication of how reliable they are as a measure of quality.

Global peace is and always has been threatened by only one thing: inequality and greed. Religious fundamentalism may often be used as the ideological substrate for violence, but I think we've seen enough the last hundred years to know

I think you're wrong. Powerful people are very often influenced by chance encounters, by mere happenstance. I've seen it a hundred times: decisions (or at least discussions) driven by accidental meetings on planes or trains. Somet

Yeah big time. But you can say that about a lot of things. Point I'm making is that if people want to consume ridiculous things the current system we live under kind of favours that. If it isn't diamonds then it's going to be

People who buy engagements rings are simply spending lots of money as an expression of love and providing visible proof of that to other people. I don't think that's a great idea but everybody's different. So the value of dia

What has this got to do with Millenials? Most of the young people I know nowadays are effective, professional, engaged, interesting. They, perhaps, share some foibles connected to the fact that they grew up with always-on internet, but they

A lot of the debate is exactly informed by this: what we suspect some silent majority are really thinking. So if I have a lot of sympathy with left-leaning ideas, it's probably because in a certain part of my life I see a lot of quietl

I enjoyed it but I found the ending ludicrous. It turned into a kind of political melodrama. Which I thought was a pity. Sabbath's Theatre I enjoyed much more. I think he was always best when he was focused on the personal.

Ultimately anything does indeed "go" intellectually speaking. You can draw an arbitrary line and say "it is fruitless to step over this boundary" but that is just a matter of shrinking the universe down to what you can m

I think what people are saying is that this has been represented as an intrinsic flaw in PGP and that this may cause the media to basically say PGP is broken. I agree that this is significant because it affects many users and the potential

This is worth reading with the Researcher then (publicly :)) asking him to "keep this quiet". I think some of the subsequent commentators have a point which is that the media will take this to mean PGP is broken.

Though it would appear the source of the original PGP software is no longer publicly accessible [1], so how would one know if it was vulnerable? I think the EFF probably meant people using various implementations right? [1] https:/&#x

I think introductions can take away from the direct experience of a great book. I think what's important is that since it is a work of literature it has the privilege of not even trying to deal with absolutes. It is an examination of w

Well if you've read Frankl then I think you should read Primo Levi. The Drowned and The Saved and also If This Is A Man. One could say he came to less easily swallowed conclusions, but I think it is essential reading. For me personally

Even 5 years ago when I spent 3 months in Berlin the idea of calling Neuköln trendy would have seemed pretty nuts. So I think that suggests something radical is happening.
