There's this weird belief in the US that raw milk is somehow bad for one's health. I have no idea why - and the notion that it's a "fad" (we've been doing it for the last, well, 2000 years at least) is pretty much on par with the idea that unbottled water is bad.
Here's a comparison between today's federal government and that of 1969: http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/philg/2015/05/06/arpanet-versus-healthcare-gov-progressincs/
Do you realize how the 1st ammendment would look if it was written today? Can you say "2500 pages of Hollywood protection"?
This is a very nice answer that doesn't actually mean anything. AS A FUCKING LAYMAN, who doesn't have access / time / expertise to evaluate the evidence, how do you determine? (My choice is: the consensus is usually wrong, but I'm in the minority :P.)
The current monopolies are the result of a "strong collaboration" between corporations and the government. I know - we will ask the government to fix the problem! What could possibly go wrong?
So the government keeps the dollar a stable thing, nobody steals stuff, and then you can rely on the free market
The government has never kept the dollar stable, people steal stuff all the time, and you can still rely on the free market. Hell - the free market was the only thing still functioning in Orwell's 1984.
Actually it sounds an awful lot like the US to me. I have no idea why Americans believe they are in any way different. Americans worship authority. Civil disobedience is practically non-existent.
Wow, that first article is the biggest pile of crap I've tried to read in a long time. Besides an overuse of the word "footprint", does anything in there actually have a meaning?
Agreed... as a non-American, it seems insane to me that Americans made bribery legal. Is this the case in other countries? (I know bribery exists everywhere - I'm asking about it being legal.)
McAfee
So... you're saying that John McAfee was right when he said he knows people who could decrypt the phone in a few days?

He?
Please stop with this nonsense...

There's no way this can go wrong...
... that is, unless you've heard of "regulatory capture" before.

Yes. In general, the less options you present to the user, the better. See various articles on the subject, like Joel's or Jeff Atwood's.
