You advise suffering; making networked computer use as difficult as getting a drivers license. I do not see that as a step for'ard. Of-course I have spent the last three days getting two Linux boxes enabled on the sketchy local WiFi. Inexpert? Yep. Twenty years ago getting my Florida drivers license took 2 hours at DMV. YMMV.

Why has this post been rated zero (0) karma? I just read its referenced article -- brilliant economics stuff. Read "broken window" yourself to judge objectively. Somebodies have a GORED-OX problem; maybe they have an affection for broken windows in Portland.

Yes, I paid that also ( OPERA_4 ?) which they admitted was a "Beta" , but promissed when V_1.0 was released we would get it free. Then they demanded payment for V_1.0 f*cking paying-usrs in butt. OPERA does indeed have that history.

The AI-stooges on slash-dot surely attack KARMA(=0) for anyone opposing their utopian/mercantile fantasy. Perhaps the chief moderators ought to remove mod-power from those systematically attacking 3rd-rail commentators. I mean .. they could hand-off the task to an AI assista... Oh wait ...

Actually this post is a brilliant comment on the costs of success; a dystopian future. For a practical example one need only look at Pre/Post WW2 American government to see the corruption of (re)publican principles ( becoming like the collectivist Nazi/Stalin ansatz ) required for victory. Whomever modded this post zero (0) needs to look thoughtfully at their foundation assumptions.

Silly me. I thought businesses existed ( and get legal protection ) to generate useful products consumers cannot provide by themselves. You know , Silk-Road and all that. I have no reason to construct legal-protection for your enterprise whose ONLY output is your personal wealth.

I read in the local paper that people who randomly film other pedestrians get punched in-the-face, and other passersby then kick them in the (broken) ribs. Guess my town never "bit" on the "new-media" thing.

No need for your oh-so-fragil BLOCKCHAIN crap when paper and quality American-made pencils remain readable immediately and in a century. Freaks who try burning P&P based votes may be shot, while byte-boi hackerz anonymously eat-thru purposefully weakened software structures; every soft-ware structure. So the prudent voting structure is based on well-tested 10-K year-old technology. Better than inscribed glass ? No, but one always compromises quality and cost.

As you say ..."The US government considers the US populace it's biggest threat and enemy." That's true whether the post-mod elected leaders are MAGA/Republican/socialist/globalist. (re)publican/democratic ideals take 3rd place to power & financials. As a LeastLastLowest student-of-history I observe well-maintained cultures solving this conflict by explicit civil war -- classical Athens , Napolionic France etcetc --. I thought we'd have one back in the 1960s when Fed Courts kidnapped Missouri K-12 schools; didn't happen then. But, with recent assassinations/attempts I can see a government with "plausible deniability" ... and a repeat of 1850s BLOODY KANSAS.

NOTHING is a very big number ... like infinity. Excluding books ... I just checked my sketchpad and recovered names of three "recent" movies I intend to see again: <The Rapture ... Jacobs Ladder ... Beetlejuice >. And almost any film featuring Shirley McClain or Alec Guinness. You really are known by the trails you trek & the company you keep.

Parisians have seemingly slid (stumbled?) into the bog of content consumption. I presume France maintains public parks, sea-shores, woodlands and trekking venues. How does some overpaid illusionists fantasy compare to the immensity and beautiful savagery of native environs ? Don't go naming a few creative works of art ... as Picasso observed damned-near every art-form produced after 20-K BC is simple decadence. Create your own joy and endorphin-goading hi! If anyone the French ought to be held to this standard; Alpine meadows & gorgeous Slovenian trout-streams are prolly hours away. Why settle for cultural slops ( streaming media) a wild pig would ignore. Sad sad case.
