It's weird, every new video of Big Dog terrifies me more, but in a strange way I feel sorry for it at the same time.

Eggs. The weapon of the silent majority.

After reading this I felt like I had been subjected to a 10 minute shrieking rant by an Apple fanboy. By the end I hardly cared what he was saying, I just wanted it to STOP!

Not saying it's good or bad, but when people hear that demand for BTC is increasing, the natural assumption is that it is attracting lots of new participants. What seems to be happening instead is that the people who have already surmounted the hurdles involved in becoming users are responding to the positive press recently by doubling and tripling down on their bets. The stats don't indicate a large wave of new users - yet.

Yes. Gone forever.

The increased demand seems to be largely from current users rather than new users, as this chart shows:

"I find McLuhan hard to understand partly because I’m just not that smart. Alan Kay on the other hand…" didn't understand him particularly well either, finding much of what he wrote "obscure and arguable". In that, he is hardly unusual:

In fact, McLuhan put most of his emphasis on warning of the dangers of technology rather than being some design guru.

39 countries so far. Plenty of perspective...

>> Obviously most, if not all men are rapists. > >That's Marilyn French's view, as famously quoted from "The Women's Room":

Well, technically:

"At one point in the book the character Val says "all men are rapists". This quote has often been incorrectly attributed to Marilyn French herself. " https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marilyn_French

There's plenty of crazy around the subject, though: http://www.avoiceformen.com/mens-rights/false-rape-culture/l...

> Maybe. I personally will suspend judgment until I see women open their own businesses and banks and refuse to do business with men any more.

That will never happen, as the bubble will pop soon. http://www.singularity2050.com/2010/01/the-misandry-bubble.h...

> even if most men aren't rapists

Obviously most, if not all men are rapists. Or potential rapists. Luckily, they are also obsolete!

How about a government mandated quota of females in every industry or company? The EU is introducing this kind of enlightened, progressive approach to gender equality on company boards:

'The Commission wants to see more women represented in the making of economically significant decisions and has proposed a minimum harmonisation measure binding on all listed companies to create a level landscape. By 2020 all European listed companies should have at least 40% of their non-executive directors from the "under-represented gender". The Commission considers this project to be part of the completion of the single market project as well as an initiative to remedy an inequality. The measure is expected to impact upon 5,000 companies from across the Union.'

Born in the US, left permanently in 2007. The US is absolutely a dystopia. Opening your eyes helps perspective:

The more information is available, the more conspiracy theories are found to be true. Here are 33 of them:

http://www.infowars.com/33-conspiracy-theories-that-turned-o...

And before anyone sniffs about linking to Infowars, let me ask you, looking back 15 years, who was right in predicting our current dystopia, Alex Jones, or his critics?

' "Conspiracy theory" is usually used as a pejorative label, meaning paranoid, nutty, marginal, and certainly untrue. The power of this pejorative is that it discounts a theory by attacking the motivations and mental competence of those who advocate the theory. By labeling an explanation of events "conspiracy theory," evidence and argument are dismissed because they come from a mentally or morally deficient personality, not because they have been shown to be incorrect. Calling an explanation of events "conspiracy theory" means, in effect, "We don't like you, and no one should listen to your explanation."

In earlier eras other pejorative labels, such as "heresy," "witchery," and "communism" also worked like this. The charge of "conspiracy theory" is not so severe as these other labels, but in its way is many times worse. Heresy, witchcraft, and communism at least retain some sense of potency. They designate ideas to be feared. "Conspiracy theory" implies that the ideas and their advocates are simple-minded or insane. '

Many conspiracies which have been irrefutably exposed continue to operate, simply because the majority of people dislike acknowledging uncomfortable facts - for example, Operation Gladio:

Disgusting.

"And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?... The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If...if...We didn't love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation.... We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward."

-- Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

So? If Git had been invented by anyone except Linus, probably hardly anyone would be using it today.

Yes, when faced with apparently insuperable force, why not just lie down and concede?

Touché. I hadn't discerned the true darkness of your vision of the future!

As a refugee from Amerika, I agreed with you all the way until your conclusion. What makes you think technological innovation will provide salvation?! It seems to me exactly the opposite. Increasingly, technical innovations are being used by the government against the people, and the people are becoming increasingly degenerate through their indiscriminate use of technology.

This is what McLuhan called the "agenbite of outwit", riffing on Joyce:

"With the telegraph Western man began a process of putting his nerves outside his body. Previous technologies had been extensions of physical organs: the wheel is a putting-outside-ourselves of the feet; the city wall is a collective outering of the skin. But electronic media are, instead, extensions of the central nervous system, an inclusive and simultaneous field. Since the telegraph we have extended the brains and nerves of man around the globe. As a result, the electronic age endures a total uneasiness, as of a man wearing his skull inside and his brain outside. We have become peculiarly vulnerable. The year of the establishment of the commercial telegraph in America, 1844, was also the year Kierkegaard published The Concept of Dread.

A special property of all social extensions of the body is that they return to plague the inventors in a kind of agenbite of outwit. As Narcissus fell in love with an outering (projection, extension) of himself, man seems invariably to fall in love with the newest gadget or gimmick that is merely an extension of his own body. Driving a car or watching television, we tend to forget that what we have to do with is simply a part of ourselves stuck out there. Thus disposed, we become servo-mechanisms of our contrivances, responding to them in the immediate, mechanical way that they demand of us. The point of the Narcissus myth is not that people are prone to fall in love with their own images but that people fall in love with extensions of themselves which they are convinced are not extensions of themselves."

Good luck with your anti-psychology campaign!

Why just extend work in the direction of the aged? I think that instead of going to school, children over the age of 12 should have the option of working 25 hours a week as apprentices.

Resistance is useless. Now, do you want to hear my latest poem?
