Well I think the terrifying part is that a computer might be able to generate an identity / artist(s) for the music it creates that we would also feel a stronger relationship to th…

I am no fan of either party, and I consider people like Barack Obama and Hilary Clinton to be right-wingers as well, but the self-proclaimed political right does the majority of wa…

This 'weaponized brain' bullshit arises out of a very legitimate fear of the US military, the right-wing nutcases that pull its strings, and its extensive history of unethical huma…

Unless computers are significantly better and faster at creating art that humans enjoy.

The people who wrote and compiled information for this article are engaged in speculative vigilantism and snitching. Maybe this info is already known to the feds, or maybe not, and…

Ugh, I'll just continue to buy drugs on the black market and use them at home. No one wants to go lay in a hospital bed after shooting up. Addicts can safely manage their own addic…

Agree to disagree, but I see democrats and republicans as two sides of the same murderous, thieving coin.

It's clear that he issued an executive order, which may or may not be utterly meaningless. And Gitmo was just an example, not necessarily saying it would even be at the top of my l…

Such a weak excuse. Sure a TV show might not play clippings from a speech of his, but if Obama actually offers to do a live interview on any TV show, no one would turn down that ra…

Right! That's why I consider, for example, his campaigning on closing Guantanamo to be completely disingenuous. Get on TV every single night, spread awareness about what's happenin…

This is a great question. What would the world look like if no individual could earn more than a million dollars a year, or if companies were taxed at exceedingly high rates once t…

Exercise never feels terrible to me, and my mind always feels clearer afterwards.

It's very prevalent here in Cambodia too. One of my favourites fruits, and it in NO WAY tastes like pulled pork when it's unripe. I actually prefer it slightly unripe, since it can…

Dude, definitely try it. It doesn't taste anything like pulled pork, ripe or unripe. Source: frequent eater of Cambodian jackfruit :)

I recently quit, and my caffeine intake was at most moderate, but it took me 6-7 days to feel totally normal.

Give your users something like "first two weeks free", which will annoy the fraudsters who want the charge to go through immediately.

Do you know if Braintree handles EU VAT in an automatic way? I've read the article below but I'm not totally sure what to make of it: https://www.taxamo.com/braintree-announce-part…

> invited to places like Facebook by Zuckerberg Ah so now Ahmed will get to see the worst of the worst on a different end of the spectrum.

Let's hear these unpopular opinions of yours...

Lifting in a gym is not necessary. I get a fantastic workout by doing body weight training and lifting weighted sacks that I made with materials costing ~5$.

Not at all. I'm a sprinter, so I do take a quantitative approach to running. I also lift weights, and I would say that I do so seriously. But my weights are my own body and big ric…

I approached learning electric guitar similarly, with heavy emphasis on technique. Early on I really wanted to be able to play a jazz fusion style a la Allan Holdsworth, John McLau…

Ah, yep, we listen to a lot of the same stuff! Piazzolla did compose some guitar material, his "Tango Suite" for two guitars written specifically for Sergio and Odair Assad. The se…
