Whether you are an adherent or not, the absence of any mention of historical materialism[0] in this essay is like discussing the world's largest ravines without mentioning the grand canyon. The only mention of Marx is…
Viewpoints like this are so fascinating and useful. It goes to show how deep are the assumptions made in our modern computing environment, and how various aspects we all take for granted could be wildly different in…
Not so. I used the word "rich", which you neglected to consider. Natural food has all these flavors already, in quantities much healthier for you. Additionally, letting go of artificial augmentation opens up a world of…
And a product that will help give Malaysians lung disease
The idea that a meaningful tax will be either passed or accomplish anything without being gamed through regulatory capture and corruption is a neoliberal delusion. We need to change the entire economic and political…
Insect lifecycles are highly dependent on what are referred to as "growing degree days". Climate change hasn't just made things hotter, it has made seasonal phases more volatile, meaning it's more possible for things…
Sorry, but that logic doesn't work after the 2008 rolling bailouts. It never actually worked, but especially now. Also, students don't get bankruptcy protection, which is another check on predatory lending that was…
You forgot the most offensive part, which is that their entire business model is to leverage the utility provided by market dominance to force users into handing over information that they would otherwise like to keep…
They are only irrelevant if the interested parties actually use those other tools. In most cases, they likely do not have the manpower/will. It's a numbers/energy game, and the more obstructions to illegal spying there…
Ever ask yourself why they did this "very publicly"?
You seem to misunderstand the point of advertising.
The site returns wikipedia articles, I found.
The humanities are inherently political. This isn't an argument for their annihilation, it's an argument for their diversification.
It's almost as if the soul-crushing predatory bureaucracy and the ego crippling process of begging for forgiveness on something that should be a right has created cognitive dissonance in large numbers of people, and…
Reddit is one of the most systematically brigaded sites on the internet. Really bad example.
One of reddit's top locations for users is a US military base. The problem is not just with foreign manipulation.
Without getting into the CIA's clear connections to ISIS, or Google's clear connections to the intelligence sector, I can only cringe at the Orwellian language they use to justify their drastic increase in censorship…
It's not as simple as that. Our economic model is objectively destroying life-giving and stability-maintaining ecosystems in many different ways. We really do need to rethink everything at a fundamental level to stop…
Is it not likely that the secret police of the world's most powerful empire in history is leveraging companies into creating these vulnerabilities?
Hello "abandonliberty". Keep in mind, it also very clearly serves the CIA's interests to suggest that Assange is compromised, so people should take those who push this idea with perhaps greater skepticism than they do…
Tell me more about your morning dump!
Yet another reason a universal basic income makes sense. Slavery by another name becomes much less likely.
Once data is in the hands of uber, it can also be shared with the government.
Our government already does support oppressive oil regimes (the saudis). You see those other governments as substantially worse because the only thing you read is american propaganda.
I encourage you to watch this panel (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KsgapaYCs40) and then say that "the facts are found". They have been stonewalling all fact-finding from the start, and anyone paying attention to the…
