You are continuing to be hostile. I have read the paper, years ago. His point about 'colour of bits' is conflating a number of different ideas. A chain of trust and intent for starters. A chain of trust is a trivially easy thing t

You are extremely hostile and unhelpful in this discussion. If you want to drag discourse down there are a lot of other forums where one line replies signaling you know something profound without actually saying anything are acceptable. HN

You already have hundreds of gigabytes of child porn on your computer. What you lack is a program to decode them consistently (I hope). You can read digital information in any way you please. An image is fundamentally two numbers that give

Begging the question: what's the point of instagram and snapchat. Explain this as though I'm a luddite who thinks command line email is better than bbs, irc, and everything else.

>Buying a house is often much better financially than renting (in high cost of living areas, usually by a factor) Not any more, especially in the global cities. You are better off investing your money on the stock market.

There isn't a culture to be cultured against any more. This isn't 1960 where there is one medium that connects 75%+ of people. What you have now are a lot of different cultures.

If race matters always why aren't we talking about the Saxons and the Normans of England. Two races which were segregated by law, with each village of Saxons having group guilt if any Norman was killed on their land. Race is a construc
