Rand had a cool limited bumper sticker silhouette with just his first name, like this. Seemed like good branding-http://static4.businessinsider.com/image/5522b0ec6da811ae3f3...
Her Facebook page is working now. Earlier when I clicked on it, it would just go back to my newsfeed. (She was on my friends list prior to this story. She already had 5,000 friends.) Perhaps some bug or automated…
I was friends with her prior to this. Her profile is working now. Not deleted but something was broken with it earlier.
Terrence McKenna's lecture on McLuhan is also excellent- https://youtu.be/9dROH6aOIUc
Her profile appears in my friends' list but when you click on it, it goes nowhere and opens back up my feed.
Reminded me of George Carlin's last standup special, where he said "it's part of their [cops'] job to commit perjury whenever it helps the state's case": https://youtu.be/jgxyCudDiM4
As a metaphor, it will get you to outerspace but you may miss your target. You don't actually need to guide it, there's so much thrust/traction that you'd have to be super talented and purposely trying to sabotage it…
Child abduction by strangers is extremely rare and around 100 per year in the US although that may be an outdated number. The one stat I just checked said 515 stranger abductions between 1990 and 1995. And that was when…
Evan Spiegel is clearly smart but it's weird to hail him as some visionary when someone else came up with the concept and someone else coded the app. When an app takes off like that, is it even possible to fail running…
I think you are overreacting. Maybe he does have a better grasp on a few areas in life than you or I do. It's just a book. One that might make people think a bit and question their own life more. What I find gross are…
No, just highly educated. I meant that he is less likely to use religion to define his beliefs. He is a critical thinker and a smart guy, so he surely recognizes the contradictions and problems with religion. He can…
If anyone is a threat to the Establishment, it is Rand Paul. He is not perfect but he can't be if he wants to win. He has a serious chance of getting the nomination and will help propel the conversation on surveillance…
If a prosecutor thinks they will lose a case and the defendant rejects all plea deals, the prosecutor will sometimes dismiss the case citing lack of evidence. Preventing an accused person the ability to be found not…
Even Justin Bieber took a plea deal in his DUI case when it appears his BAC was .014 and the cops lied or exaggerated the facts during the arrest. Perhaps he was still guilty of reckless driving but there's no…
And my friends would be amused by your friends. I know a few DoD-type guys who operate in these informal government contractor circles. I have seen some wild stuff involving private companies, NASA and intel agencies.…
A few years ago the EU proposed banning cars in all major European cities by 2050. And they wanted to restrict 50% of all trabel over 186 miles to trains. The plan was rejected by the UK and was criticized as draconian.
Why is this so easily accepted? In Denver, the weed sales tax is upwards of 21% with a previous 15% excise tax from cultivator to retail outlet. In Colorado, it's less than 8% tax on a 6 pack of beer and the great…
Even married couples with kids who make $100,000 a year and live in the midwest couldn't intelligently afford to use this service regularly. This is just my experience with a family that is able to cover expenses and…
True. 6,000 people died of cocaine abuse in 2006. Another statistic said 17,000 died in 2000 from all illicit drugs. Now surely moderate cocaine abuse is causing deaths in people who aren't known addicts. But tobacco is…
President Bush gave Charles Colson the Presidential Citizens Medal. All Colson did was conspire to kill a US journalist while working as White House counsel. And conspire to firebomb the Brookings Institution and…
In Citizenfour, Snowden had a copy of the sequel, Homeland, while he was in Hong Kong. Kind of a surreal moment.
People buy that stuff just to help out kids though. Going door to door selling a 'magical candy bar' that can radically change someone's life for eternity would be much harder. I guess part of that is also conviction in…
Schneier said there are three. The 2nd leaking the Merkel and X-KEYSCORE and the third connected to NCTC. Also one was supposedly raided by the FBI at the end of October but that story was never updated.
When I read about FanHero on techcrunch, I thought it was a good idea despite the article's tone. Mainly because I watch a lot of alternative content and listen to podcasts, and I want a way to support what I like. It…
Any idea how something like this happens? They got at least 22 million euros in funding and seemed to be managed by academics but somehow completely missed the mark?
