This? http://www.computerworld.com/article/2868475/verizon-unveils... It's the only thing I can think of. I sure as hell wouldn't be a part of it though.

I think I'll just make a new account on a fresh IP and profile and see how it goes. This is getting old in a hurry. Thanks for turning a regular user into something a little less s…

Saving the day, yet again. /s

I'd be more interested in criticism of the content, rather than the format. There's aiming for serious, and then there's just posturing.

It's kind of amazing that humanity's overall response can be summed up in a gif. https://media.giphy.com/media/z9AUvhAEiXOqA/giphy.gif

...It's like they have no idea what "Evidence" actually means, or frankly what the hell Snowden actually did; it wasn't selling hacking tools on the black market!

It's not really that the original relates to this blog post, as much as it's just one of the best essays written in the English language in a long time. (big IMO)

The constant exchange between the west coast of the US and Japan is so regular!

I would imagine it's the same thinking that puts multiplayer in every game, and just generally wants to keep a live connection to everything, always.

Given the limited google search results, it would appear to be a very neo neologism.

Nothing about the impending IoT seems planned, standardized, and remotely designed with the consumer's best interest in mind. That being said, consumers for their part seem almost …

Oh the folk cures are the best! The ancient Greek ones were literally and figuratively, batshit. IIRC To treat epilepsy it was recommend that you eat the heart of a black donkey be…

Similar story here, from the POV of someone with moderate anxiety, and very mild depression (probably as a result of the anxiety). Medication made me feel less, which was preferabl…

I think the immense amount of constant work is the biggest challenge. It may be that the use case for CBT is a lot narrower than current practice is selling it as. For mild to mode…

Oh god yes. My "Cannot unsee" file is overwhelmingly dermatological, or burns.

On the other hand, who knows? Has there been a time when people where not generally trained from infancy to believe fallacy?

Exactly, with the added insult of ad hoc justification.

I understand that, and am pointing out some of the conditioning behind that.

Maybe training people to develop an illusory sense of control isn't really a good thing?

That's a good point, but it definitely relates to what I'm saying as well; you're just describing the benefit side of the cost:benefit analysis any criminal has to do. A lot of the…

The social consequences of committing a crime are enormous in Japan, and very long-term (like, the rest of your live). It makes answering the "Have you ever been convicted of a fel…

I would strongly recommend that anyone who hasn't read the original essay, do so.

I would suggest that you not google image search that, as I did. There are many modern results, and it's quite awful.
