You mean the part where he says Now I'm aware that this was really no big deal; I'm not saying I'm an estuary Che Guevara, it was a daft joke, by a daft comic at a daft event. Or I suppose that's obvious, we all know it, we already know all the important stuff like: don't trust politicians, don't trust big business and don't trust the media. Trust your own heart and each another. The article is mostly shallow gossip and partisan politics, with some idle speculation that government can be bought.
Hello reddit. HN was nice before y'all found out about it. This was inevitable but I suppose now is as good as any time to stop coming here. Goodbye reddit.
I was waiting for the part of story where she would describe how the developer had an actual drug habit or something, so much she talked about it. I wonder if she's ever really met someone who 'uses drugs', this mockery seems incredibly infantile.
Anyway... I think this analysis is shortsighted, for a start, you can't forgo the modern civilization because you can't have a home and you can't leave it, and if you're in it, there's a cost... And it's understood that the right to have somewhere to live is essential but you can't leave the city and get to a piece of land, land is not produced anymore and it belongs to the rich, you can't buy it, you can't raise cattle or chicken and you can't plant, so, you'll die.
And then everything else comes after this. Also, lets be honest, the level of education you need to even start pondering this you can't get either, because by then you'd already have had to have eaten and lived somewhere, and maybe you have bills and you can be arrested.. Not such a viable option. Then it's also probably a big fallacy that people can really live off of welfare policy goods, I don't know how it is in the USA, but here in Brazil I'm pretty sure what you get is barely enough for you not to live like a wild animal in middle of 'modern civilization'
Barely enough means enough but without extra things, right? I'm pretty sure a random medieval peasant would kill for a promise of being guaranteed not to die from hunger, always have shelter, have basic medical needs taken care of, not counting such things as free education, free communications, etc. I'm not saying we should let people die on the streets, just when you compare something to medieval, be aware how far we are removed from what happened there.
Then into adolescence: tattooer, anthropologist/teacher, coder(coders 'can be different' and coding felt like a game)
Now: I'm a developer and I'd like to get free to be creative in coding, writing, drawing
What sucks about being a dev is that when you're learning it you just feel like creating and the work is nothing like it.. I guess I'm somewhat good at it because I'm good with abstractions, have always been very logic and like learning(thus 'teacher'). So, I'm still far but the spirit is the same... Seeking your passions is hard as fuck, no wonder people give up.
I think the impact will be bigger in the long term, I myself, as a brasilian, atheist, bit fair skinned, know I'm probably not a 'target'(although the left-leaning probably makes me a potential, cause I'm not sheep), but it still doesn't feel right that my data and privacy is free-to-snoop because it violates rights I have here, I had this right since birth according to my constituition and this is a fact. It is absolutely and completely indecent, it doesn't matter any analogies made like 'intelligence have always done this in every country', this is just distorting and repositioning and obviously The Internet is a whole different thing and should be treated as such, no explanation or justification will make this right ever.
I've not moved out of a lot of services YET, but people around the world are certainly moving their sticks to provide options, it's now also a market, not just idealism, political positioning.. they'll arrive and I'll certainly and happily go, and maybe try taking the opportunity myself, why not? Think of a good leader, he's respected and followed because people trust him, trust him to that position, but it's a fragile thing and after it's broken, it's broken. There's a vacuum.. and naturally it's got to be filled
No, people absolutely take the hot sun all the time when they have to go out, they need it because their homes are dark even in the day and there's stuff you want to do inside the house in the day, like cooking, cleaning, studying...
That explains why the guy who made the Facebook Event of 'spook spotting walk' in Brittain after the news that there was NSA personnel working there got inquired about his intentions! Idiots.
Host in Brazil, we're never at war so spying, national security and etc budgets are always low, besides, we can barely handle basic stuff like education, security, public transport, so if there's a BRPrism, part of the money probably goes to some corrupt, and then it must be shitty!
