Shhh...don't make the people think about, like, complicated stuff or accept the presence of ideas or opinions they may not agree with. Because that's what is happening. A person who floats a "controversial" opinion that

I know it's not a popular position to take but I still think if the worst trolls were starved of oxygen they would crawl back under their bridge and die. An ignored troll is a defeated troll. Nasty people will always exist of course on

You may find it hard to believe but the market "taking care of itself" is at the core of the neo-liberal ideology peddled by the powers that be from Obama, the Clintons, the EU, IMF, World Bank, ECB etc. They don't care if it

Well said. Letting corporations and financial institutions regulate themselves has been disastrous on so many levels. But so long as they are protected from the effects of climate change the SV libertarian "tech delusionists" will

A "human-like" AI is only 20 years away! Or was that the singularity...or maybe it was cold fusion, I can never remember. Anyway, in 20 years all these things will still be only 20 years away.

Another vapid AI story...lovely. The "...more human" in the title is just clickbait that makes it seem like Google and co. are on the cusp of developing a human-like AI which, of course, is not the case at all. And romance novels

I don't think this project will amount to much; it almost certainly will not become part of a widely used mass transit system. It was always a tech geek vanity project at best, even before the serious trouble started.

Does it? I came away with the impression that they were trying to convey that there seems to be significant anecdotal evidence that Applebaum was a boundary pusher, could be inconsiderate of others and sometimes had a crude sense of humor b

> The article gives a real name in literally the second sentence. Actually, the article literally does nothing of the sort. Check it for yourself. It mentions Applebaum's name in the first sentence and no names in the second.

It's news that "think tanks" aren't always as independent and impartial as they claim? Really? Before the Brookings "controversy" nobody at the New York Times suspected that these organizations, which are close

It's not a secret that the United States has its eyes on Eurasia, the land mass reaching from the Russian border eastward to China. The U.S. has been hatching plans for total world dominance since the 1930s and controlling Eurasia is k

One aspect of OS X I've always appreciated is the absence of bundled bloatware and obtrusive advertising. Sure, you can disable the ads and uninstall any unwanted software Microsoft is aggressively pushing on you, but how many people

"This is a personal, non-sponsored post by a member of BuzzFeed's ad content team." Um, so it's an ad for SnapChat that SnapChat didn't pay for...or not an ad by a guy on the "ad content team"? If it'

Is the media afraid of Facebook? I have read criticism of Mark Zuckerberg's track record of underhanded and deceptive tactics, e.g. his recent "donation" to "charity", selling Free Basics in India as a gateway to th

Who are the ostensibly secular rebels? Every rebel group seems to have propaganda videos on YouTube except the 'secular' ones. Call me sceptical. The only secular group we know of for sure is the Syrian National Army but Assad is
