Yes, feminist philosophy of science does address things that aren't typically found in non-feminist works, even those written by women. In particular, "situated knowledge" -- knowledge that reflects the particular perspectiv

Haven't read it but it looks great. And yes, seems like a great exercise to entertain thoughts while suspending judgement.

Not sure that it's classified as "Philosophy of Science" but Mackenzie Wark's "A Hacker Manifesto" is pretty darn Marxist ... it even has a red cover :) Here's a 10th-anniversary interview of him by Melis

While all the books he suggests are worth reading, the list as a whole has a major gap: nothing from feminist or post-colonialist perspectives. So I'd add Sandra Harding's "Sciences From Below", and perhaps the collecti

A somewhat inaccurate headline. As Marcy Wheeler writes: "Just a tiny corner of the phone dragnet will shut down, and the government will continue to collect “telephony metadata records in bulk … including records of both U.S. and non

It bugs me that people's justifiable criticisms of Facebook lead to tarnishing the whole concept of "social networks". Based on the studies the author cites, the title of this article should be "Facebook is bad for you&q

Agreed -- although I see it as a complement to TodoMVC rather than an alternative. Very useful!

Impressive work on Beacon. Definitely not "old business model" :) That said I think you're undervaluing the potential of the OP. You say at [1] that one of the key things you've learned is that readers fund journalism

It must have been a tough decision. But, far better to pull the plug than commit himself (and investors) to something that he really wasn't confident would work. To me this is the key line: "as the days marched forward ... the n

To me this seems a great illustration of why a lot of people in SF want to put restrictions on AirBnB even though they know Prop F won't "solve" the housing crisis. I'm curious how it looks to "No on F" suppor
