and yet, the old superstitions have been replaced by new ones.

Try out GNUnet, it's pretty much exactly the architecture the author describes.

I work casual in an ops centre. 7am-7pm or 7pm-7am, very nice legacy from my days of studying, a flexible well paying job!

Can work anywhere between 12h (pay the bills) to 72h (rakin' it in) a week.

Being essential staff is good but who knows if our overall industry (TV) will hold up. I told my boss as long as they keep paying me I will hang around. Savings into cash and gold!

Tomorrow is Australia Day kiddies, so I will be working 0 hours! We are throwing a party under the Harbour Bridge, woohoo!

Seriously, is there anything they don't want to turn into a robot?

"American universities and Japanese manufacturers have produced toy-like robot plants, but ours has various new kinetic and electronic functions," project leader Park Jong-oh said. "It's a fresh attempt to introduce the concept of plants, rather than humans or animals, to robot making." Seems admirable enough to me.
