The Fermi Paradox
The Fermi Paradox is the contradictory and counter-intuitive observation that we have yet to see any evidence for the existence of ETI’s. The size and age of the Universe suggests that many technologically advanced ETI’s ought to exist. However, this hypothesis seems inconsistent with the lack of observational evidence to support it. Largely ignored in 1950 when physicist Enrico Fermi famously...

La revuelta de la burguesía asalariada →
Ayn Rand expresa una fantasía en La rebelión de Atlas de una huelga de capitalistas ‘creativos’, una fantasía realizada perversamente en las huelgas actuales, que en su mayoría son llevadas a cabo por la ‘burguesía asalariada’ empujada por el miedo a perder sus privilegios (el excedente sobre el salario mínimo). Estas no son protestas proletarias, sino protestas contra la amenaza de ser reducidos...

Kill Hollywood, Not Movies
parislemon: The fallout from the failure of SOPA and PIPA is just as interesting as the main topics themselves. First, many on the web with loud voices are finally waking up to how corrupt the lobbying/political system is in this country. Second, directly-related, there’s a quickly growing anti-Hollywood sentiment. The most forceful stance has to be Y Combinator putting out a new RFS (Request...

minimalmac: We have been traveling to developing countries in Asia and Africa, visiting e-waste scrapyards and small repair shops, meeting “fixers” who breathe new life into gadgets that the western world has tossed away, and photographing the journey. Part travelogue, part investigative reporting, part soapbox, iFixit.org promises only one thing: a clear-eyed, thoughtful look at global repair...
