Penn Jillette has written and spoken about why he was a libertarian in the past. I came across this quote in an interview on Cracked about his attitude to libertarianism has changed recently.
Many times when I identified as Libertarian, people said to me, “It’s just rich white guys that don’t want to be told what to do,” and I had a zillion answers to that — and now that seems 100 percent accurate.

I came across this quote on a post from Jason Kottke's site.
Especially since most minimalists want to keep exactly the economic and police system that keeps them privileged. That’s libertarians for you - anarchists who want police protection from their slaves.

Keith Kurson wrote a great blog post about blogging and provides a number of links to help people to get started.
The advice he gives about starting a blog is great.
You should blog (Keith Kurson)
- Share your thoughts on whatever. You’re a blogger, not an opinion columnist in the washington post.
- Change your mind! Write about why you changed your mind!
- Write however you want. Run-on sentences. Weird grammar. Write in limericks, sonnets, or haikus – defy the grammar cops.
Have some fun!
According to this study from Stanford University, the answer is yes. From the conclusion:
We conducted the first user study examining how people interact with an AI code assistant (built with OpenAI’s Codex) to solve a variety of security related tasks across different programming languages. We observed that participants who had access to the AI assistant were more likely to introduce security vulnerabilities for the majority of programming tasks, yet were also more likely to rate their insecure answers as secure compared to those in our control group.
