It's inspired by Apple's launchd.

That's not what universal healthcare means.

There was once even an easy to use software that shipped with an attack. It was called Firesheep and it let anyone skillful enough to install a browser extension get into the Facebook and Twitter sessions of anyone who shares the same network.

That's kind of what Socrates did. Not everybody thinks it's acceptable (just look at how well it turned out for him), but it's important to challenge all beliefs.

Different indigenous people can share almost the same blood but have vastly different ethnicities, because ethnicity is cultural. Check your history.

To add (and replying to rco8786): I think this is not racism. Because ethnicity is not race, and almost everybody by now through mestizaje has native blood. The early colonial period might have a racist component with "sistema de castas" (Spaniard born in America = Criollo, Spaniard with Native = Mestizo, Spaniard with African slave = Mulato, so on).

But now race doesn't even matter because we are all almost the same genetically (it just happens that at least in Chile, the fair-haired blue-eyed people are the richest, but hate here is about wealth and politics rather than race itself).

Mapuches you mean?

Well, living in Chile, I've learnt that there's no racism here BUT:

-There's classism, a lot. Both from the lower classes to the upper and vice versa. There's also a lot of anger left from the various dictatorships that ruled in the eighties.

-In some countries, here included, there's also big prejudice against native cultures like the Mapuches. "They're all lazy drunkards".

These problems mostly stem from colonial times, where the Spanish didn't respect native culture and since the Europeans were seen as the "civilized, more advanced people", the aristocrats here did everything to imitate their lifestyle.

See also: mestizaje.

Well that's what bothers me too: You have no rights as a non-American person. The NSA could not care less about your privacy.

I'm not a terrorist and yet the NSA can do whatever it wants with me, and that's scary.

Yes.

Well, Android and most RHEL-derivated distros use SELinux and it can mitigate this kind of problems (assuming it is well configured) and Ubuntu has "AppArmor" but I don't know if it mitigates this issue as well.

I think he means Aquinas' Quinque Viae

There's one like what you say: Mercali.

It's a very interesting concept, because now in 2015 I've seen more and more things using technology and computers where they shouldn't be used. People seem to not understand that the gimmick feature that needs a computer just adds a billion moving parts (one for each transistor, statement of code, etc) that may fail.

I was in the process of buying a new TV and I couldn't find a good ol' TV, nope, all there was "super awesome smart voice commanded can see the weather TVs"... so I bought one intending to just use it for cable (I still used netflix in my computer) and after a whole damn day of updating firmwares and waiting for it to boot (I miss the CRT days)... some capacitors that were in the backlight circuit blew. Thank you very much Samsung. (Btw another clear example of misusing technology was yesterday's post about trains using GPS for "smart door controls")

Oh also, the scale in your post is more of a Mercali than Richter.
