Decentralizing Science: Local Biohacking

Posted on by

“Far-out ideas make established scientists uncomfortable. If your entire career was built around the fax machine, phrenology, the geocentric model or the beeper, you’re not too excited about these crazy kids and their ideas. There is a lot of untapped brainpower out there. The state education mill is a barrier to entry, a great divider — a credential firewall. MOOCs and badges may displace the academic cartel, but not without vested interests fighting to halt creative destruction along the way.  Statistician and philosopher Nassim Nicholas Taleb recognizes that ‘stochastic tinkering’ rather than systematic, institutional agendas yield the greatest discoveries.”

3D Printed Guns (Documentary)

Posted on by

3D Printed Guns (Documentary)

“This is a story about the rapid evolution of a technology that has forced the American legal system to play catch up. Cody Wilson, a 24 year old University of Texas Law student, is an advocate for the open source production of firearms using 3D printing technology. This makes him a highly controversial figure on both sides of the gun control issue. MOTHERBOARD sat down with Cody in Austin, Texas to talk about the constitution, the legal system, and to watch him make and test-fire a 3D-printed gun.”

How to Defeat CISPA Once And For All!

“From SOPA and PIPA to ACTA to CISPA to the TPP and now back to CISPA, internet activists have been caught up in a deliberately bewildering game of whack-a-mole with freedom-crushing legislation. Now, ISPs are doing an end run around the whole legislative process altogether and voluntarily collaborating with the entertainment industry to spy on their own customers.  Join us today on The Corbett Report as we explore a real, grassroots, alternative solution to the problem of internet censorhip that can help to end this government/corporate control over our communication once and for all.”

‘Pirate Bay’ for 3D printing launched

Posted on by

“The company that developed 3D printed gun parts has announced plans to launch a new firm, dedicated to copyright-free blueprints for a range of 3D printable objects.  The firm, Defcad, is the brainchild of Cody Wilson, law student and self-styled crypto-anarchist.  Mr Wilson said the revolution which many predict 3D printing will bring about will only happen if it can be freed from corporate ties.  The blueprints available on the site will be for ‘important stuff’, he said. ‘Not trinkets, not garden gnomes but the things institutions and industries have an interest in keeping from us; access, medical devices, drugs, goods, guns.'”

3D-printed gun maker now has federal firearms license to manufacture, deal guns

Posted on by

“Defense Distributed—America’s best-known group of 3D gunsmiths—announced on Facebook that its founder, Cody Wilson, is now a federally licensed gun manufacturer and dealer. The group published a picture of the Type 7 federal firearms license (FFL) to prove it.  Wilson and his colleagues have been making prototypes of guns for months now. Most recently, the group demonstrated an AR-15 semi-automatic, which is allowed under American law without a license. The legal difference now is that Wilson can sell and distribute the guns he makes. The process can take as little as 60 days, but in this case it took around six months.”

Bitcoin: the fastest growing currency in the world

Posted on by

“Bitcoin is an unregulated, uncontrolled online currency – worth more than £500m, it’s the world’s fastest growing. It can be used to buy drugs, move money across the world, or get rich quick. The people behind Bitcoin speak to the Guardian’s James Ball at their home in a squat in central London.”

Jeffrey Tucker: Top Alternatives to Paper Money

Posted on by

“I’ve just left the Liberty Forum in New Hampshire as the proud owner of three types of nonpaper, nongovernmental monies. They operate in competition with the government’s dollar. Yes, these include Bitcoin, the mind-blowing digital currency that has techno-geeks, edgy global traders, and even the World Bank buzzing about its potential to finally separate money from the state.  Why are people working on alternative forms of money? It’s all about escaping a 100-year-old trend.  Depression, war, and deliberate debasement have left us with a dollar that is a mere shadow of its former self.”

Gun Control Laws Increasingly Irrelevant as 3D Printed Rifle Receiver Fires Hundreds of Rounds

Posted on by

“On Monday, with little fanfare and less comment — primarily because none was needed — Defense Distributed unveiled a 3D-printed lower receiver for an AR-15 that stood up to hundreds of rounds of fire. Succinctly, the video on Youtube was accompanied by the statement, ‘Does not fail from firing stresses. 600+ rounds.’ Just as important, and the purpose of all this effort, the group made plans for the receiver available for download by all and sundry at DefCad. Defense Distributed’s video and 3D printer plans are a clever and powerful blow to politicians’ efforts to restrict Americans’ abilities to own the means of self-defense.”
