Also, the author is wrong on the first flight which was not the wrights but clement ader... in 1890. Nice fail. He should be more modest and avoid giving les sons to journalists and industrialists when he does not now his own history, even

The author has a good intuition but he forgets patents and secrets. 3D printing was a success in the industrial world through the 90s. It became a public success when its patents ended around 2004. Why would people talk about something they

Actually, one of my friend and the co-author of a documentary on the cyberpunk side of the Silicon Valley we're working on, had done a very interesting film on PDK in 2005: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h3G4Q6UqMPU

I tend to prefer his earlier books, those written because he was full-speed crazy. They get the same special thing, but they're more subtle. And as they look like classical sci-fi a little bit more, they're more accessible.

Poor Pareto would be sad to hear this. Even as hé described them, he viewed Pareto improvements as unjust and broken.

Yeah? Have a look at EU social democracies... Everybody go to the same schools and the same hospitals, everybody gets the same internet, everybody go to the same sport clubs, etc. And wealthy overambitious parents tend to hide their money a

Yeah sure... "Poverty is the problem, not inequality". That's just lobbying and self-delusion into believing that improving the riches always ends up improving the poors. John Rawls where are you? Equality does not mean havin

Is it me, or is the NYT suggesting that they have been victims of this Pegasus system?

Are you sure? To me it just looks like your average sect. And having sex with a man wearing a goat mask does not appeal to me as "less creepy" :) Also, a few wiccans committed a collective suicide in France some time ago. I guess

Wow that's some serious reactionnary stupid stuff. You are pretending that these people are homeless because the State provides for them? Man, you are such a model person for this new techno-aristocracy.

Wow. That's scientology-level bullshit.

These books are not easy to read. They ask some work on the part of the reader. It's not entertainment. They bring much more than their story to the table, but they're way harder to read than non-fiction. What you need is time. Lo

How many similar apps do we have already? We are increasingly solving problems that dont exist.

Wow this is so much the future... Between my 4g video native capability, skype (remember), facetime, etc. that was missing. Thank you Google for putting well-paid engineers to solvant this.

This is utter bullshit. Let the fucking kid enjoy some self-esteem. Focusing on improving his "motivation" instead of his well-being is manipulative and can backfire in so many ways. Just let him be. Fuck the productivity way of l
