It is indeed. But even more so for me is that then Epicurus, starting from this, deducted a whole ethic that is essentially modern. If you haven't read it yet, I think you would appreciate an account of the whole story, of how it was s

I agree with you about both the title and the content, it is a disappointing article. However, I decided to submit it anyway given that it's a sample of how this is being reported in the mainstream media, and that it has many comments,

I still believe though that China (and, in fact, the US itself) would have much more at stake if the US discovers that the supply chain has been compromised, given its enormous manufacturing interests and how this might be used to justify c

Russel's approach is more epistemological and academic, whereas Rand's is more psychological and individual. Both seem valid to me at their level.

From what I read in "Bad Blood" (the book about the Theranos fiasco) of what WSJ does before publishing investigative reports, you can be 100% that they did.

For me, Russel put it best: Philosophy, as I shall understand the word, is something intermediate between theology and science. Like theology, it consists of speculations on matters as to which definite knowledge has, so far, been unascert

Hacking is one thing, your main outsourcing partner planting hardware backdoors by the millions is quite another. These are companies that take your money and then hack you.

The best and most useful role that I have found for design patterns is to use them to systematically synthesize the code directly from the design as part of a very well defined methodology. This is very well described in the MIT OCW 6.005 E

I agree that politics has polarized in the last decade, but I would say the primary cause is the wave of populism in the aftermath of the financial crisis, which has overlapped with, and been amplified by, the social media explosion.

Regardless of whether this particular case is true or not, given the crucial role of computer systems in so many key institutions, it seems to me extremely risky to trust Chinese suppliers not to try to compromise critical infrastructure. T

I totally agree with you that the aftermath of the financial crisis has been appaling. Before the crisis both the right and the left had achieved their main political goal (capitalism and the welfare state, respectively), and both accepted

Sure, in the west there are constant attempts at gaming the system, and propaganda is as rife as in authoritarian regimes, and this often results in the masses (us) being misinformed. However, I still don't think it's the same as

It is much worse, given that in the west biased reporting and cover ups can be publicly denounced, whether by other biased sources at the other end of the spectrum or in social media, whereas in China it is not allowed to disclose by any me
