I don't understand how the author concludes from the article he or she links( http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/google_facebook_social_... ) that Facebook exceeded all of Google's properties in traffic in December. That article says th

Although I don't disagree that one's achievements in a computer game aren't necessarily meaningful(although this is a personal decision), I disagree entirely with his assertion that all computer games are "treadmills that are impossible to

One of the potential advantages of the large UGC platforms like Youtube is as a risk pool. Would it be easier for me to fight off an attempt to censor me, or would it be easier for Google to fight off an attempt to censor their users? Note

"If 100% of humanity were to suddenly believe that red is better than blue, would that make it objectively true?" No, but it does make it subjectively true for 100% of humanity. In addition, as a sibling comment pointed out: it is possible

I don't quite agree. While in some cases, there is certainly subjectivity in morality, almost everyone would agree that certain things are definitively a darker gray than others. Almost no one would argue that murdering random people is mor

Before now, I hadn't realized that some people believe that loading a copyrighted work into RAM should be legally considered to be a reproduction of said work...

Why limit reducing suffering to other sentient beings? Isn't it desirable to reduce the suffering even of things that are not self aware?

Adobe's platform evangelist claims( http://theflashblog.com/?p=1641#comment-639881 ) that the reason they can't use h.264 hardware acceleration on OS X is due to restrictions on browser plugins, which implies that it does not have full ac

"Searle doesn't make an argument about formally equivalent Turing machines, he makes an argument about a person using an instruction book to manipulate strange characters." In what way is a hypothetical person using "a book of instructions

What's wrong with the objection that, if you accept that any two universal Turing machines are equivalent in power, Searle's argument amounts to(letting P be "there exists an algorithm A such that any computing system executing A understand

I agree with the title of the post and little else. Marco seems to be extolling the virtues of doing nothing in high school instead of explaining why grades are broken or even why not doing schoolwork may be a good decision. Why do people t

That's odd. I even opted in for Buzz but never created a public profile due to privacy concerns, and my chat status updates aren't be posted on Buzz(although when I looked in the linked sites dialog to see if it should be, I noticed that wh

I don't see that claim anywhere. I only see the claim that not having an abortion in certain circumstances is not more virtuous than having one.

The article claims that "Companies don't understand privacy." It then goes on to explain how users don't understand privacy. If you are publishing something in public on the Internet, you should expect people to be able to see it. Perhaps

It is. In Objective C: [obj doFoo] would be analogous to this in a Java-like language: MethodSpec s = new MethodSpec("doFoo"); (obj.hasMethod(ms) ? obj.performMethod(ms) : obj.handleMissingMethod(ms) However, people associate "syntactic su

It's worth noting that your final concern doesn't apply to this proposed amendment. That would in no way be a financial contribution. The linked site itself asserts that restrictions on corporate speech are unnecessary. The proposal isn't i

I don't think the Wikiracing page would be all that easy to get to, either, so it probably wouldn't significantly decrease the difficulty.
