I think the appeal of basic income to HN crowd is that is a solution that an engineer would like. Very neat. Some people can't manage their money though, however complicated that is.

I read this with an eye out for what electronic surveillance they did but it doesn't seem like there is anything documented here that is too outrageous.

I would have thought that past 1,000,000 downloads you could trust the plugin but that is shown to be wrong. With Windows software I do a skim of the Wikipedia article for controversy as a sanity check but there aren't any for these ex

From the article:"Mother Night marks the first appearance in Vonnegut’s novels of a word that would become increasingly important for him: schizophrenia." I was surprised to find this passage without a mention that Kurt's so

I think it started with the first actor President. I should re-read _America_, 1988, Jean Baudrillard. "You have the same difficulty today distinguishing between a process and its simulation, for example between a flight and a flight s

The funny thing is that if you take a bunch of different antidepressants then you will become bipolar.. perhaps. Then you need more and different medications.

Not to argue, but is being knocked out bad? It seems like a common occurrence to a fight is go to unconscious. Some people have strong chins. Would they do better in a no rules fight historically, if they didn't go down?

Just a word of caution. Sometimes I read "OffTheRecord" chatlogs that have been posted on Cryptome. A false sense of security can be more risky business than weak security, as pertains to what gets exposed.

Offense and defense are asymmetric in computer security just as they are in physical security. Offense has the advantage since defense is a thin skin around complex entropy waiting to pop. I think that the relevant essay is George Orwell, &

I think it's not that nerd outrage isn't a force for change, it's that nerds just find a workaround like this link, and then move on with their life. The rest of people get stuck w/ toolbars, supercookies, etc.
