Memes, as in the internet ones, grip us for a reason. A couple things: the comedy/entertainment is self directed; created by everyone and shared by everyone (with loose definitions for 'everyone'). This is different than any other massively popular medium of entertainment that I am aware; where most massively popular forms of passive entertainment; or at least 'consumable entertainment'; have one/few -> many relationships; the internet meme culture has a many->many relationship for creators and consumers.

There is talk on HN of piracy, with some folks being a bit self righteous about pirating music (http://ploum.net/post/im-a-pirate) and/or software from corporations they deem problematic (http://littlebitofcode.com/2012/01/18/im-pirating-the-next-version-of-wi...)

Especially Americans; and probably other first world cultures; but I can't say definitely.

I speak from experience, having once been a young INTP and now being only a young-ish INTP (I will be 29 any minute now). Probably this advice applies to most on the NTP spectrum; E's as well, I suspect the J's, who will be your friends, will scoff at our malaise. But I digress.

If you are on top of the world, stop reading now. You've hit your groove; you somehow have a lot of social capital despite your deep introversion; just play that shit out and come back if/when you burn out.

I don't really have a thesis here, just some thoughts.

Outside of straight up Paul supporters, socially conscious folk (I'm thinking the loud liberals, radicals young and old, hippies, artists, revolutionaries, etc..) might not appreciate the slow, steady stride at which Ron Paul has garnered more attention and support.

The intent of this article is really to convey both my frustration with the current economic model (and its tragic consequences) and my fascination/excitement with emerging alternative currency models.

There is growing interest in bitcoin and a dramatic increase in volume on the
largest usd<->btc exchange, mtgox.com

With it, there is increasing technical analysis being done, with the most noted
by user s3052 (http://blog.bitcoinwatch.com/) whose predictions have been
generally accurate.

However, there is a lot of criticism that bitcoin is too low volume and too
unlike other currencies/commodities to be subject to traditional technical
analysis. That may be. I am not an expert (or even a hobbyist) when it comes to
markets in general, so I won't really comment on the validity.

Collecting the information obviously makes sense; they are tracking not *you* but the cell phone towers you are using. The target of the tracking gives a hint to what information they are trying to gather, namely, how towers are being used.

As for Apple not deleting it.. get over it? Maybe delete it yourself? As long as you are running a full stack of software that you neither understand, nor trust people that claim to understand it you will forever run into situations like this.

Why rape jokes are a-okay.

I have struggled with this for years.. how can anti-pc jokes be so harmlessly funny (sometimes) yet be considered *bad* by so many. I have long since taken the stand that I am not a bigot if I jokingly say the word nigger, or fag, or call something dumb I did retarded (and mean it).

just open vim from the root of your project and issue

:e **/

then just start typing the name of your file and hit tab for completion. I haven't actually used textmate, I just saw cmd-t over our new devs shoulder the other day and immediately asked #vim how to get that functionality, expecting to use a plugin (one exists of course). However some wise one told me the above. It's kind of slow if you have a large tree. I have 30k~ and it takes ~.5 seconds from the root to find a deep file. But switching files in the directory once you've opened it is fast.
