Thanks, sorry I missed this. Talking about this is new to me. I will get my sea legs. I think there is some Canadian Aboriginal context that I need to do better explaining. Like voluntary enfranchisement. Or just the general negative reacti

I argued for parallel development, not necessarily imitation. Though methodology does not exist in a vacuum, but parallel development does occur. So what if I was making that argument? What if it was true? Would it offend you? I mean that w

Red River Metis here. We look white to dark... but we have a very similar history of generational abuse by the Canadian government. If anyone has read April Rain Tree. Well that was a Metis author. You can't judge a book by its cover.

I am always happy to see the Métis represented on an American site. Thanks my friend, most people don't know much about us. Seriously though, I am not sure that returning to a philosophy of segregation is the best path. Perhaps focusin

Part of the real issue is identity politics and the black box thinking it generated. Rethorical devices would still maintain the greatest power. You don't need information just conviction and resources.

It is not. There is an association with ambitious and grandiose in general language at times. I think it is related to whole 'the meek shall inherent earth' way of thinking. Which is a whole other debate if we get into the gospels

Not really. Ambition is like a bottle for your consciousness. It is the container. As your ambitions expands so does your mind. If your ambition is to troll someone, that is your maximum value. I think if you look deeply many will realize

Status is attention. If enough people stare at a fool he will be convinced he is king. There are dollars in spectacle but in the end twitter, fb, reddit or HN are inferior tools because of this.

The design here is flawed. It is insane to expect anything different then what it is. You can still hack it if you are inclined, but I agree the bias is not prosocial. By labour, I mean grab a pen and paper and devise a method to fix the p

Freedom of speech mean that these ideas can be challenged in the public sphere. Anything else is the department of arm chair theorist. Freedom ain't free. It calls for noble labour.

A bit bold, but it does highlight that insidious tension that leads good people to doom.

My take away from this article is simply raise your standards of people. Esteem should not be so fickle, it should mean something. Our culture has a very short attention spans and we exalt the wrong people. It creates a weird tension. Being

Freedom of speech. The one jerk of a teacher I had, made me realize this. It is better they are out in the open, that they are confronted publicly. Those standing to be counted are not the dangerous ones.... it is the 10 more who agree sile

Yup. Correct. Cool Beans. It is the framing 'You do not UNDERSTAND your app unless you can simplify it in a single sentence' that I disagree with. It is more 'You do not UNDERSTAND your market unless you can simply in a singl

I think he was saying all of the above, but I am not sure any of the strategies he mentioned will work in Hong Kong.

I don't recall the US banning twitter or censoring any social network. No prohibition of coverage. Not to mention there was a tremendous amount of sympathetic coverage. Time 2011 person of the year was the protester. It was a huge conv

With out universal suffrage how can you tell the collective will with out an imposed narrative bias? Press is controlled and self censored. Many Chinese that I know simply stay clear of politics. Politics has very dark consequences in China

I think he was talking about the surrounding businesses. Jamming or interference with business operations might provoke a flight of capital. Hong Kong is rather concentrated.

I agree 100%. My issue is with it being framed as understanding your work. When it is more about understanding how the public thinks and feels. It is more political then technical. It is about connection. Highlighting that I think helps peo
