His last name is a little on the nose.

The market of PII websites showing up in search results for names is enabled by your business model. These websites do not serve a legitimate purpose, and are putting your users at…

The meme was more Digg-like, actually.

Where I come from we obey the laws of thermodynamics, which implies setting our priors appropriately. fyi he was mocking people who look down on people in poverty, in the style of …

That's a philosophical difference. I don't disagree, but given the various constraints involved what you're asking isn't possible. Additionally, I'd note that it sounds like they a…

It's theoretical neuroscience. If you have philosophical difference write a position paper.
