Blaming politicians when you only have 42% voter turnout is a pretty weak argument.

fungi··on $250 Trillion in Debt: The World’s Post-Lehman Legacy
Is China's debt like Japan or Greece... i.e. does it owe itself (like japan) or someone else? If it owes itself would that not contain the fallout of a debt crisis?

We could be global leaders committed to reducing green house gas emissions ASAP.

No we could not single handily turn the ship around, nobody ever said we could.

But we could be leaders and work hard for the greater good. Many many people have said we should do that.

fungi··on SoundCloud's Collapse
love it, live on it, its contributed significantly to my hearing loss. listening to https://soundcloud.com/silent-season/campfire-stories-24 as i type this spiel.

would happily become a premium++ subscriber if money went to artists, something like humble bundle... but the paid plan is brain dead and offers no value ┐( ̄ヘ ̄;)┌

hope it survives or morphs into a decentralised platform that artists can thrive on.

fungi··on How the Australian government plans to access encrypted messages
> "get access to info like this"

end to end encryption means only the end points (users) have the data.

fungi··on Newly Redesigned Boston.gov Just Went Open Source
one of the really interesting things for me is that the boston.gov web/digital team isn't just an arm of marketing/pr/it.

fungi··on Saving the Swiss Watch Industry Again
Shouldn't the Japanese industry be more worried? They don't have the same prestige to shrink back into. Only Casio is having a stab at the smartwatch category and its not exactly anything more then an also ran.

... Yoga was a thing in WWI.
fungi··on Yahoo scanned customer emails for US intelligence
> Yahoo execs deliberately bypassed review from the security team when installing the backdoor. In fact, when members of the security team found it within weeks of its installation, they immediately assumed it had been installed by malicious hackers, rather than Yahoo’s own mail team. (This says something about what the backdoor code may have looked like.)

fungi··on Reasons to Stop Ignoring the Skills Gap
To dumb to go to uni is horrible assumption to make of anyone.

You should be free to follow your passion/whims and study whatever they want, love it, hate it, fuck it up, drop out, and try something else. Even more so when you are young inexperienced and finding your way in the world.

> and the only result was them racking up tens of thousands in debt

That's the problem America needs to solve.
