on: GNOME 3 Released
Who cares about gnome? I mean really. To first, second, and third order approximations, nobody will ever use it. The ipad2 sold over 2 million units the first month out. The next billion users of the internet will interact with it over their cell phone. Might as well publish an article about somebody who is making a nice set of switches for the front panel of a pdp-11 using mahogany wood or something.

What is morally wrong isn't teenagers having sex, it's teenagers having babies.

I hope this works; if it does, it will be the best thing which has happened to news in a long time. Companies produce product which is beneficial to their customers; if those customers are large corporations buying advertisement, their product will be beneficial to large corporations. If their customers are you and me, spending $8 a week for news, they will produce product beneficial to us.

on: The 'why I am not worried' article, edited by MIT nuclear scientists
chuckle I'm getting tired of reiterating this, but NOBODY KNOWS which facts are right and which facts are wrong. They are epistemically bankrupt in the sense that their state of knowledge cannot rationally support the conclusions they are drawing. As I said, typical MIT hubris.

Or how I learned to stop worrying and love category 6 nuclear disasters. This is typical MIT hubris. Nobody knew om march 12 what was happening, even the operators, and even now nobody knows how bad thing are or how bad things will get.
