Cloudflare is an adversary and is doing its utmost to break the world wide web. You can have no reasonable expectation of privacy from them, either. Cloudflare is a MiTM attack on the web and should be treated as such.

Your ISP should not *have* your browser history. You should be using tor. If your ISP can see your browsing history, you're already screwed.
People have been complaining about the art of conversation being killed by new technology since at least as far back as Plato. And yet every generation realizes that you need to converse over speech in order to get laid. Colour me skeptical that this time, it's different.
By desiring to know about the subject, and making a map of the terms involved that you don't know or suspect are being used as terms of art.
By finding other people interested in learning about it(Hackerspaces are a great place to do this), and engaging with them with the explicit reason of learning about the topic. Finding or building media that allow you to coordinate this task. Bonus points if you can find people to *teach*.
By being humble about what you know and don't, and expecting your initial expectations to be incorrect(especially for softer fields like Economics/Political Economy). And especially: publish your results in a way that other people can replicate.
By collecting relevant data, seeking out sources on relevant data, and if they aren't easily accessible trying to reproduce them yourself while being careful to keep track of what you are doing to obtain said data, what that data is, forming hypotheses and testing them.
Try to think of a project you can do that relates to your topic of interest, and try to do it.
It doesn't matter if your adviser is Deepak Chopra, if you follow where the datatells you to go and are careful enough. I've helped people from the age of 4 to 80+ learn topics from algebra to video game development and there is no reason why lectures are particularly better suited for learning, or should be exclusively sought after, though they can be the cheaper option (especially in well-beaten paths like intro-to-programming or intro-to-stats).
Spotify has a long history of censorship, the most recent example being Alex Jones.
Spotify is better than things used to be, for sure, but it's still a central gatekeeper of culture. Those who wish to silence new kinds of art will continue to flock to it to silence those who push outside of the limits of the status quo.
With Napster, bittorrent especially Gnutella, there was effectively no limit on what you could find. If someone produced it, you could find it. Spotify is not replacing at least that aspect of pirate sources.
Which is exactly why Ontario screwed up. They *didn't* implement a universal basic income, and didn't seem capable of pulling it off even if the funding was available. They had a hell of a time signing enough people to take their handout money, and even when that was going on were busy trying to invite people who were long dead to take part. Turns out no one, or at least not the feds, knows who lives in Thunder Bay.

It couldn't possibly be the, oh, 2 decade war that Disney/MPAA have waged on the denizens of the internet, and our ability to use technology? It couldn't be from Disney/MPAA's pressuring governments around the world to implement internet censorship. It couldn't be about Disney/MPAA forcing DRM everywhere they could shove it.
Seriously fuck Disney. Don't watch their movies.
The service is piercing our filter bubble, and giving people a dose of 'random' in dull moments.
Being able to step outside of our comfort zone, and skip to a part of the world wide web that we did not expect to be in. It's like setting a random course, turning on the warp drive, and stopping after a random period of time - to explore new life, and new civilizations. To boldly go where some people had gone before, but which might have otherwise lived and died as a niche part of the web that only some hipsters would know about. Unlike reddit which cultivated the "best" content of the web, stumbleupon connected people to parts of the web that they wouldn't normally go, showed them things through the eyes (and reviews) of people they wouldn't normally read.
As a man with a beard who talks about how shitty the Qur'an is (including on youtube), I look forward to our benelevant AI overlord knowing the difference between bearded men waving a Qur'an for peace and justice(in the Islamic way) and peace and justice(in the Kafir way), and making the choice of who is correct and who is to be silenced with little to no recourse.
The NSA is building a profile on every single person, including you, "Anonymous" Coward. They very much are building a catalog of your porn tastes, and everything else about you that they can vacuum up.
> And as long as we keep keeping private stuff and do private stuff (like banking) on our mobile devices (regardless of platform)
If you do not have the source code, you cannot verify that your financial transactions is actually between you and your blockchain. Banking, or anything else, that is not done on an entirely free software stack is simply not safe, post 2013.
No one should use Google Play for anything. The Snowden documents have shown that the NSA has been able to coopt it to get users to install their malware/implants. With no way of knowing that you're been coopted.
The #1 red flag is not that it's not on google play, the #1 red flag is "no source code".
Because non-linux users need software freedom too.
We have to keep our eye on the ball: those who would seek to take away *our* freedom start with those who can defend themselves least, and work their way to us from them, and our social connections with them.
Ray, you're one of the most forward thinking people in the world right now. You've put a lot of thought, over many years into the future of civilization, the impact of technology on individual, society and world culture, from sexuality and what it means to be part of the human endeavor to the particulars of how we might best move towards a more inclusive world.
That said, your cautious, well-informed optimism is not shared by all. In particular, there is a movement of modern-day luddites who have a vastly different view of what the future should be, what the best path for humankind is, and where we should be focusing our efforts.
After reading your "Age of Spiritual Machines", and Derrick Jensen's "Endgame", I realized that the two of you write mostly about the same subject matter -- but from vastly different perspectives. After watching many of your videos, and a live talk by Jensen I have been struck by how large the gap is in The Two Cultures involved -- from reading the material put forward by MIRI to the Club of Rome I have sought at every step to reconcile how the two of you see the world. But what I've been always dreamed of, is the two of you directly responding to the criticisms and ideals of the other directly, in a public discussion -- a kind of intellectual battle for the minds of those in vastly different ingroups, on the order of the
Bill Nye–Ken Ham debate if not orders of magnitude more important to the future of mankind.
In the years since I have gotten ahold of Derrick Jensen. And while he's not interested in a realtime debate in person, he has told me that he would be willing to debate you, if you're up for it.
So here's my question:
Would you be willing to debate Derrick Jensen on the future of humanity and civilization in a respectable way, in a public forum of some kind? And if so, under what condition?
Perhaps if the debate was moderated by someone like Nikola Danaylov?
People like TFA who are telling you otherwise are part of the problem. The TPP is very much about digital rights, and the election was a de facto referendum on the TPP.
we have 3 3d printers at our hackerspace. So far
1) Children love them. We had one little girl design her own toy, and since then kids have been in a rush to learn how to design 3d. I can only imagine what they'll do once they start encountering real needs.
2) Inventors and their prototypes, typically custom boxes. Best I've seen is some casing for sonar equipment for making cell walls perforate enough to let medicine in.
3) We've got one guy who's building a replica of the enigma machine, and has learned how to design gears and simple plastic machine parts.
The question isn't "what are you using 3d printing for" anymore. Once you've used one for a couple of months you start looking at everything around you in a completely different way. I no longer, for example, would be content to merely buy a new bicycle helmet. I'd want the STL file for it, and the materials in a way that could be printed/assembled locally.
Great! Don't agree to anything. Download the source which is available on github, and run it yourself, and connect to the network yourself. No one is preventing you from doing this.

how do you even know where to begin learning about any subject?

Unemployment is very low in both the US and Canada.
Not in Thunder Bay and surrounding reserves, where programs like this might actually help.

Presumably since we have the source code to every app that runs on our devices, we can see what the problem on a case by case basis, is n'est pas?
What's this, LinkedIn doesn't offer this? Then no one should be using it, period.
Problem: there are N relevant places to look for CVEs
Solution: let's make a better one!
Problem: there are N+1 relevant places to look for CVEs.
