I definitely am. Misinformation, propaganda, clickbait are all words with more specific semantics. Nothing incorrect about the term "fake news", just pretty information-sparse. It often ends up meaning "what I don't agre

"Show me the money" is biased toward the status quo. If your litmus test for smart policy or decision-making "is everyone else who is successful doing it?", you will always lag behind the best.

When people downvote enough to grey out what seems to me to be a decent opinion, I wish they'd at least offer a counterpoint. I agree with bbatha, if this is such a downvote worthy sentiment, I'd like to hear why so I can improve

So? Any action you take (including doing nothing) can have negative consequences. As long as it doesn't spontaneous cause psychosis in bystanders, let em smoke some pot.

Because Github is not equal to open source. It is a company out for profits like any other, why should Apple host what they choose to make open on that specific platform?

But you can only enter a pin on a phone you have physically with you. With this proposed auto-sync, every new phone is potentially a gateway to anyone else's phone.

Human made societies are very complex systems, that is why good analyses on economics or politics must be specific, or risk saying nothing at all. I linked to a geopolitical analysis on the development of the US, and rather than judge it on

Stratfor's famous analysis of the geopolitics of the US[1] makes clear that this was due to the phenomenal and unprecedented geographical conditions the US enjoyed, not merely "a dividend of free market agriculture". > The

Louis CK, if we're thinking of the same bit. He makes exactly the point that it's not the magnitude of your material wealth that makes you happy. We think it should , which is why when it does not, comedy can be found. A system w

I think you missed the point of the parent. The idea of an atom bomb did not enter Truman's mind out of the blue sky. People create technology, and that in turn influences decisions. The types of technology we surround ourselves will i

You're correct, but I think capital may still be distinguished by the degree of value added by labor. Ownership of land and natural resources is a different form of capital than ownership of shares in an company or a factory building,

Why not? If the state of affairs is disturbing and unjust, should the disenfranchised not seek to improve their lot? It may be easy to sit on top of the busily productive pile and insinuate that those on the bottom be satisfied with the scr

And when outsourcing happens, you tax the fuck out of that business transaction, and with the proceeds pay your unemployed laborers a livable minimum income. You think Chinese labor is cheap for no reason? There are tons of gov't subsi
