Michel Houellebecq alludes to an interesting idea in his novel Soumission - in the hierarchy that the West is using for identity politics, race and religion are less touchable than women’s rights and gender equality.…
Apple is a hardware company. Notably, it is not a software company and it does not understand the internet.
It's so much worse than he thinks. Books, magazines and newspapers don't have delete buttons either!
Nice paper, but I wish the results were easier to understand.
I didn't have a good reaction to this article. I suppose it is because it hints at a world where there is no violent conflict and it wants us to believe that we should protect children from knowledge of the world as it…
It's a slippery slope. Right now is voluntary, but there's a very good chance that if it happens more often, police will find public support for arresting people who don't comply. The news media is making it worse by…
There should be some word for externalities caused by the difference between perceived and actual risk. The only word that comes to mind is: shitstorm.
I'm ashamed to say it, but I can live with the threat of terrorism. Statistically, is nearly insignificant next to all of the other risks in our lives. What makes my blood boil is the overreaction, fear, and…
Reading about Carreon's actions, it is hard to believe he is a real person rather than a cartoon character.

I'm not buying it. Both paintings are of Alice from behind with the same pose. That's about it. Are we really copyrighting poses now?
Me too. For me it would be called 'Facebook Homely'.
Best April Fool's Day joke ever.
That's just an extension of the "big city" effect. In general, attractive women gravitate toward big cities seeking successful men. I know that sounds sexist, but it really is a thing and it skews demographics. There…
In a world of alternative currencies, is deflation of one such a bad thing? I think that the salient issue with Bitcoin is that it is going to deflationary at a set time and while people may hoard it, its divisibility…
Wouldn't that violate Facebook's TOS and therefore the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act?
One thing that the article did not touch upon is that there seem to be health advantages for children who are born of young parents - they have better telomere length [1] and possibly greater longevity. When you add to…
There's that, but I'm sure they'd have lawyers work out some sort of indemnification. The first media reports would need careful PR handling. I see this as something similar to what AirBnB went through. It's not…
Or products.
Wal-Mart is big enough that they can take those thefts as a loss. I see it working. If done right, it could leverage into neighborliness. It should be marketed that way. I can see people doing it just to have an excuse…
I'm tempted to believe that also.
I think the same thing is true and I have a very strong suspicion that the reason people are not more outraged is because they've been conditioned by film and television to believe that the government has those powers…
Thanks!
