The pattern of 'free' (gratis) proprietary services (even if their 'apps' are open source) which use 'free' to get people to sign up and commit data to those services... will always *always* end up screwing the user with creeping reductions in the 'free' aspects of the service + added hassles aiming to convert them into paying customers or driving them away, painfully. Why do smart people *repeatedly* fall for it? More context: davelane.nz/why-free-proprieta…

ALERT: “Aryan Fest” in Georgia, October 26

The Aryan Freedom Network (AFN) is a neo-Nazi group that claims to operate within 26 US states. AFN is currently advertising its national “Aryan Fest” gathering—a major get-together for AFN and its white supremacist allies—for Saturday, October 26th at an undisclosed location in Georgia. The Georgia event advertises racist musical acts from the RAC (“Rock Against Communism”) scene, speakers, a boxing competition, and a swastika lighting at dusk. We believe this event could present a danger to those living or working near the “Aryan Fest” site.

Add some relish and I'm there. Maybe some jalapeno while we're at it. :-)

If warp travel is not possible, a Dyson Sphere seems like the likeliest result of a civilization that has built a culture of both growth and stability. Growth would necessitate harvesting materials to gather the energy to build. Stability is required to maintain this culture long term without wars or resource allocation crises which inhibit growth.
