hippy

That probably makes me some sort of crazy hippy radical...

If Stallman wasn't a crazy hippy he wouldn't have been into this cause years before even the first dot. com boom.

[5] Somehow startup hipsters in the bay area speak with a style that's a cross between "Brah" and San Fran hippy from the 1970s. In my head.

Pretending that the web is some hippy utopia is not accurate. That's a bogus argument and misses the point completely.

Wears a hippy robe. Gets philosophically cranky at your kid's gameboy.

I lived on a hippy commune from 1974 to 1979 - we had our own currency then, called 'trash' in which we could buy anything we wanted. It was a peer-to-peer currency which was printed on the packs of cigarettes.

Im not saying there is no pot abuse, or working is evil, or other hippy logic, i just wanted to point out that this particular argument is flawed.

The expensively dressed high finance wizard and the smelly protesting hippy. The sex-mad pickup artist and the asexual man who simply isn't interested.

There's strangers as in "local resident I see each day but don't know", and there's strangers as in "I've just traveled to a completely different country and have no clue who this person is" Wanting to trust everyone and believing majority of people are good is a nice hippy dream. There's some nasty horrible people out there.

For fuck's sake, get your vaccinations, and while I'm ranting stop drinking un-Pasteurized milk from dirt hippy stores illegally too. There is no elaborate conspiracy to keep nature down, it's to protect you from Salmonella, E. coli, and Listeria

I don't want to sound like a new age hippy here, but if you were to think of emotional capital as something you have to expend when you make hard decisions, I think managers have to expend a lot more emotional capital on decisions like this then they would like. And if they have to do that, it distracts them from other things.

This is true in both hippy-dippy "everyone gets better!" ways and in you-can-deposit-the-larger-pie-in-your-bank account ways.

Then the Reagan eighties happened, and all those "hippy" stuff were scorned in favour of greed and careerism. Now, with Wall Street getting a trillion for their services in fucking up the economy, the middle class in worst prospects than ever, and the country in more abused mode than even during Nixon's reign, this "greed" didn't seem to have served the people well.

> Pretending that the web is some hippy utopia is not accurate. A typical example of when a comment deserve a downvote. Calling the refusal of adding DRM to an open standard, a standard that is about a network of cooperating nodes that any standard compliant software can parse, is not an hippy utopia.

That is dozens of car purchases or rentals * I help my family and friends with computer issues and build them free websites occasionally -- dirty dirty hippy crap, poor companies are losing service calls all the time. * I cook meals from my garden, and invite people over to eat with me, grocers and restauranteurs probably should lynch me for denying their revenue.

I was once similarly enamored with the hippy scene and dated a flower child for quite some time, even visited the commune in Lake county that she grew up in, etc. There is a distinctly darker side of the whole experience whose surface is not even scratched by this article.
