It's unfortunate but predictable that a movement that started off as an attempt to find a way out of the swamp has been coopted into the service of the standard ideology of extracting as much work from labor as possible. Fixing the iss

If you're doing mobile dev, this is the phone you should be doing your user testing on. Unless your target audience is exclusively wealthy people who run only recent iOS devices. In which case, carry on. But if you are building somethi

There have been a number of such works. Olaf Stapledon's Starmaker takes a somewhat poetic approach to the idea. And restraining oneself to an Einsteinian universe where nothing exceeds C was a hallmark of "hard-sci-fi" altho

But if we use our engineering talent to build the New Jerusalem where all human kind can live free of want and coercion how will we maintain the current social order?

I read it as saying that there is no ethical way for a _Psychologist_ to participate in a law enforcement interview as an interrogator. Which is reasonable, interviews conducted for law enforcement purposes are not therapeutic in nature and

This is not at all surprising in that censorship is one of the few viable business models for a 'free-to-play' social network. Defusing and diffusing social movements before they get traction is something many organizations with m

It sounds like this would be a target for some social activist data mining. Scrape NextDoor, find the people who are posting weirdly racist screeds, and send a well dressed delegation to their doorstep to let them know that their name and i
