Watching this documentary ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SGJ5cZnoodY ) about Shenzhen I got a very strong cyberpunk vibe, especially the last 1/3 of it. People at the streets fixing electronics, cheap/pirated cir

I don't think they are talking about having NO sense of reality. They are saying that having filters that 'simplify', or make these signals more 'user friendly' bring evolutionary benefits in comparison to experienc

I disagree with that. I have put more than one hour in and have found many interesting planets, creatures and geological formations. I'm also captivated by the small stories. What are the Sentinels? What and who am I? What's at th

It was meant as a sarcastic comment, of course it is inaccurate. :) IMHO: Unfortunately democracy doesn't work, in practice, as the theory might suggest. What we have in the majority of countries are people in power focused on either:

Ah... these hackers just don't understand that hacking, invading people's privacy and stealing their money is a government monopoly.

You can find some great resources (although more unstructured) on Youtube. I recommend the following: - Computerphile ( https://www.youtube.com/user/Computerphile ) - The Secret Life of Machines (1990's series)(some

Sure! Pretty simple actually, running on GAE. Using jinja2 for the templates and some custom bootstrap for the frontend. I plan on writing a bit about what goes on at the backend. I built some features I had never tried before (URL shortene
