The History of Western Philosophy, by Bertrand Russell, is a great starting point. It reviews probably 30 prominent philosophers from the Western world, starting with the ancient Greeks and coming to modern day. It's not comprehensive,

I think I have found a bug. It is in typing "The Art of War". The "s" in the first sentence of "Sun Tzu said:" does not want to be recognized. My "s" key works fine in other contexts, and other letter

This is a really really cool project. Awesome that it exists. I wish it was a general CLI, instead of relying on Emacs. Or, I wish I felt comfortable enough in Emacs to give this a shot.

I'm not so sure. So much consumption these days seems to be discretionary. For your example in the auto industry, one large reason the industry bounced back was because of the Cash for Clunkers program. The US government spent $3 billi

I'm curious how this compares to SoFi's Money program. SoFi manages student loans and now they are moving into cash management. It seems that this is an area new companies feel is ripe for disruption.

Personally, I love that DuckDuckGo gives me a usable alternative to Google that is privacy focused. It might be better if they were open source, but I'll take what I can get from the industry regarding advertising practices at this poi
