I know most of these books and issues, I'm a philosopher myself. Most of them do not contradict anything I've said, so you'd need to be a bit more specific. You will not get me very warm with Feyerabend and Kuhn, though. On a

This is mostly wrong, because there is only one reality. As trivial as this may sound, if you're interested in reality, then you will invariably get to the same conclusion as many other people. Of course, there will always be some shif

It sure sounds like one. Be that as it may, it's definitely not worth reading.

In my personal opinion we should always answer, because (scientific) curiosity trumps all reasons not to. However, we should carefully analyze the message before replying and be careful about what we say. As a hobby sci-fi author with a lon

The question is not whether someone steals or doesn't steal from the poor. The crucial questions are whether the divide between rich and poor increases or not and whether the actual buying power of the poor decreases or not. If the low

I would expect from a random playlist function to shuffle the playlist once randomly (or using a good PRNG with long period) whenever the function is called. Option 2 sounds closest to this, but there is no need to remove anything, the play

Ah well, you're hitting a nail on the head there. I have bought a Pi 3b+ a few months ago, put some test webpage on it, and then switched it off for security reasons. Now it's sitting on my desk, because I lack the time to write t

Sure, but that's irrelevant goalpost-shifting. The original claim was that there has been a decline in journalistic integrity. Neither news agencies nor any reputable journals are working in any other way than they used to - I see no n

I totally agree with you but also confirm my point. You're talking about CNN and Fox as if they were typical news providers. Fox News never was a real news channel, and CNN only for a brief period of time during Golf War 1 and briefly

I wholeheartedly disagree. Your assessment is a popular false narrative that was invented recently by the "alt right", by professional disinformers (paid think tanks, troll farms, etc.) and by clickbait producers. I'm not cla

A VPN will not help you against advanced behavioral browser fingerprinting like in this new Captcha. Not only do they have lists of VPN servers anyway, if you inadvertently log into your Google account once from the VPN (e.g. by launching y

If you're talking about US TV you might have a point, but I wouldn't say that Fox News meets European standards. Especially their interviews are sometimes plain demagogic and not information-seeking at all.

The Strait is one motivation, yes, but I was also talking more generally about the strategic balance in the region. Iran and Syria are the last countries in the region loosely aligned with Russia, and Iran is a major disruptive factor in th

The name is good, the language has very cool features on the roadmap. I'd find it interesting even if it was just a concept with no implementation at all, so I don't get what people complain about it. Where do all these naysayers

I like much of his work in formal ontology and it's weird and personally disappointing to me that Barry Smith is a co-author of such a bad paper. :(

Well, to be even more pedantic, there is a rule for leaving out the final s. You leave it out in possessives built from names of famous historical personalities and mythical creatures: Socrates' dialogues, Zeus' wife, Pegasus&#x27

The real problem with Youtube is that it remains to be the biggest copyright infringer on earth. There is almost no record and song, no matter how obscure, that you cannot find on Youtube, and nothing prevents you from downloading this cont

In my opinion Adwaita dark looks pretty good. Since I'm currently building a Gtk3 app in Go, I'm very curious: Which theme would you prefer for a modern desktop application?

IMHO, only Evernote stands out in this list. Most of the other companies seem to have trivial user interfaces requirements. The GUI for an antivirus product could be built with just about any framework.

In general, this is one of the news threads that I persistently don't understand. There is too much information missing. Why are European countries so keen on allowing Huawei to build some critical infrastructure? Do they face threats
