   Just because I majored in Sociology doesn't mean my web coding is Marxist. :)

   I'd like to point out that the history of social science is about as ugly as the history of medicine. It's been entirely a process of going from less to more scientific, and that is clearly still a work in progress. I don't t

   How cringe-worthy is that tired racist joke about the Chinese eating dogs? It's like that one drunk great-uncle at Thanksgiving who just absolutely loves that joke and you know, every single year, you gotta hear it. And he can't t

   IT'S A TRAP! Seriously. I love the intent here. But in my view the whole premise is epistemologically wrong. (A word I'm almost educated enough to use.) Truth by consensus is logical but not the point to which we have evolved. Her

   Let me try again, since I was snotty and got flagged. This is not a kosher industry. It reaches its influence into the academic realm and has an epic PR budget. It can take advantage of the obscurity of the tech to promote talking points th

   This was more or less my response as well. The 'academy as monolith of truth' is so 20th century. And, of course, disagreeing with Newton is very different that disagreeing with Freud. And we certainly aren't surprised that d

   What he says ONLY applies for AAA games. Metrics and research push every game into the same few buckets. Just like web design best practices imply that every website should be roughly the same. Chasing what 'works' the best has li

   So, what if the truth and reality and what people should really be talking about is sad and difficult and opaque and hard to talk about?

    I wish them all the luck in the world, but trackballs are bad for repetitive stress of the thumb joints and shouldn't be used by long term computer workers.

    Because you want to modify it. Right? Tell me about all of your planned modifications. So many changes. So custom. So freedom.

    What a crappy intro. No, deserts are NOT alive. Interesting stuff. Not the brightest writer in the bunch.

    This is absolutely generic common practice, to one degree or another. Facebook is great at this crap. Clearly this example crosses some kind of line to people. But maybe more than anything because we got to see how the sausage is made. It&#

    Oh, the difference between tech nerds and users. No. Users don't modify their phones (or their computers.) Users don't need Windows or some new phone OS so they can do obscure things only 1 in a 10,000 people care about. Industrie

    For an industry centered on innovation it is possible to be in a dry period where there are just too many people trying to make the 'latest thing' using older things. New tech tends to show up and keep things interesting.
