iterationx··on The most telling part of “1984″ is the appendix
People love this quote and the comic that goes with it, but its much deeper than most are willing to take it. For the intrepid I recommend: "Libido Dominandi: Sexual Liberation & Political Control"

This link pops up from time to time.

Skeptic in this context is slang for a atheist who has no ideas that deviate from mainline US Democratic party; Against sexism, against Islam-o-phobia, "pro science"

yawn. you are a product of your environment.

iterationx··on Facebook is Getting Old
Reminds me of that old saying, "Every empire carries within it the seeds of its own destruction."

People usually refer to network effects as positive, but eventually it becomes negative. Facebook, Eternal September, etc.

iterationx··on Show HN: It's hard to make friends offline, so we built a solution
They think they are making spiritual progress. They are doing some form of work: meditation, fasting, praying to try to achieve it. It's not idling or leisure activity.
iterationx··on Show HN: It's hard to make friends offline, so we built a solution
Working could include raising children, or gardening or a lot of activities that one doesn't get paid for, but it is universal that a sense of fulfillment comes from laboring for something.
iterationx··on Show HN: It's hard to make friends offline, so we built a solution
Depends on the activity. For example, I'm working on my novel at the coffeeshop. That is a good open ended activity. If no one shows up while I work on my novel, well that's fine, because I still got some work done.

But running around the lake is not an open ended activity, because I don't want to wait around for people to show up.

Also add a button, "Leaving for the activity now", or "I'm here at X" would be helpful.

iterationx··on Show HN: It's hard to make friends offline, so we built a solution
I think something like, "I am going to be working on my comic from 7-9 at this coffee shop, broadcast this "ad" to people like comics that have the following characteristics [male | female | doesn't matter], politics [ x,y,doesn't matter]"

You sometimes could have an open ended invite, and sometimes you would have to have both parties agree to meeting before hand, like in the case of restaurant reservations.

iterationx··on Show HN: It's hard to make friends offline, so we built a solution
I think its hard to make friends, because people only feel fulfilled when they are working. This is demonstrated by the fact all these billionaires are still working and they are not content to just be leisurely.

Therefore, the premise that you like baseball and I like baseball, so we should just hang out, will feel kind of pointless. That's why I don't think anyone has really nailed this market.

I think a better take on this would be, you want to publish a comic book, and I want to publish a comic book, so we should work on our projects and hang out. Or you want to run a 5K and I want to run a 5K so lets meetup and practice this together.

iterationx··on Ask HN: "advisor" or "adviser"

iterationx··on Why virtual worlds died
The Internet conquered Time and Space. Want continue a chat with someone from another continent in real time or have your messages stored and retrieved over a period of years? No problem. But now with time and space conquered we decide we want to add time and space... Hmm... So do I have to walk over to his avatar? And chat? I would like to see someone solve this conundrum and make it compelling. I find it an interesting problem to ponder.

Also he's allegedly got some kind of free energy system in the movie.

iterationx··on [dead]
It is assumed that there are no quantifiable differences between cultures, therefore if the Indo-European male has more material possessions than another group, his gains must be a result of oppression or white privilege. Also white men are un-cool because they can't dance, can't dunk and add no value to our cultural civilization. Or so I'm told.
iterationx··on I'm tired of trying to meet new people. So I've built another social network
If you want to meet new people is the solution really to spend EVEN MORE time on the computer?

iterationx··on Poll: would you visit a "thinkerspace?"
I think you'd need to not provide Wi-fi or else people would just be huddled around laptops. But then if you did that maybe no one would come? Or they'd just use their aircard :|
