Where did the idea of the Singularity come from? Is there any basis to it in reality, or is it basically just a religion focused on avoiding the fear of death? by Noinkin technology

Human nature did change in the industrial revolution. Regardless of this change it re contextualized everything, so the end result is the same. In fact our entire chemical make up shifted radically after the industrial revolution. I have a ton of shit in every tissue and fluid of my body that the pre-industrialized man was never exposed to.

Here is Understanding Media by Marshall McLuhan.

The guy wrote it in the 60s and describes reddit in the book.

Homeless in the woods - a life of shame or the only escape? Just an hour outside of New York City, a thriving tent city gives a home to refugees from the economic downturn. by yesitsme123in reddit.com

What's wrong with this? If the job prospects dried up for me I'd be living in the woods not in the fucking street. You have trees, build a fucking house you lazy piece of shit. If the police show up and tear down your home return the favour and burn their homes to the ground. The country was founded on stolen land, it's tradition. Sitting in the woods waiting for life to magically get better obviously isn't panning out.

Facebook sided with these theocratic pieces of shit. I hope they follow through and get these people. Enjoy your new islamofascist buddies. I can't wait until Draw Mohamed Day next year. I'm going postering again.

Hire a transvestite to sit in the back seat of the car. Introduce him as your sister's other sister and say that he wanted to meet him since you were all going to be living together. Tell a story about how he's coming back home now that he's a psychiatric out patient.

I'm interviewing candidates for a tech support job today. What are some good questions I should ask? by nite_merein AskReddit

I generally ask them to name the registry hives. I generally ask them about upcoming technology to see if they have a genuine personal interest. I generally ask a few questions where they should be relying on their team.

Monsanto generally shows more malice of forethought. BP cuts corners and then fucks up huge.

It's the best book out there to understand what you're actually doing and the impact of it. It will seem like nonsense until you wrap your head around it but I loved the detailed descriptions of things like reddit and Google from the 1960's. He talked about how computerized personally tailored newspapers would arise and how it would degrade into a big circle jerk. What to program to be relevant is far more important than how to program.

Notice when the US government does something sleazy and illegal how it's always the whistle blower that is putting national security at risk and not the perpetrators of the actual crime. The next time a cop pulls you over for speeding tell him it's his fault for pulling you over..see how far you get.

Truth be told all dancing is a stupid animalistic display. The only reason I dance at all is because women like stupid animalistic displays. This is no more or less stupid than crunking.

There's a little plastic ribbon cable that comes out of the touch pad or touch point mouse and slips into a connector on the computer motherboard. Usually the connector has a little lip you can pull toward the cable releasing it. Remove the cable and reseat it. Then push the lip back into the connector and test it again. If you are unsure take a picture of the connector for the mouse and post it.

New circuit breakers in trial (in response to 5/6 crash): trading will be halted if a stock advances/declines > 10% in a 10 min. period.

Let me guess the trading companies with their own computers wired right into the exchange will be able to unload their stocks while the poor people lose all their money.
