I'm not saying diplomatic realism is useless, or that countries shouldn't act strategically to further their own interests. I'm saying that you have to balance those needs against the very basic moral standards that are hardw

Noam Chomsky has had a remarkable career, but he's really old and was never anywhere within shouting distance of the political center. Neither is Current Affairs, for what it's worth. His argument seems to be that Putin's bel

What's the alternative, though? The leader of your country is terrorizing Europe in ways not seen in almost 80 years. We all know all-out war between nuclear states is not an option, so what should Western nations do? Just sit back and

You can be as sarcastic as you want, but these stories are absolutely indicative of a much larger problem. It might be beyond the capacity of one company to fix, but in the aggregate they represent a serious political and economic threat an

Am I the only one who finds this editorial morally repugnant, especially considering it was written by a VC who runs a fund that specifically invests in startups facing "regulatory challenges?"

These claims are pretty flimsy. For one thing, Yahoo's search engine is Bing, so it's fallacious to say that two of three search engines yielded the same result, and that result is thus more valid or accurate than that of the diss

You make some good points, but her contributions to the US's surveillance program are barely more than a footnote on the campaign page. Most are about past economic or geopolitical misdeeds. I think reading the page in toto makes it pr

It's pretty smooth of you to call me an idiot, double down on that, and _then_ say you don't understand my position. This sort of intimidation (of Dr. Rice and anyone who associates with her) may not be violent, but it _is_ coerci

To be clear, I'm not trying to say this sort of action should be illegal. Just that I think it's tasteless, shortsighted, and somewhat hypocritical to do anonymously, given that it specifically targets an individual. Which is the

There's a critical distinction between voting with your own wallet and launching an (anonymous) campaign to ensure someone never works again.

I can't help but notice that whoever is behind this campaign found it necessary to give attribution to the people who produced the images on the page, and provided helpful links to Dropbox's CEO's social media accounts, but d

I hated the Eich thing and I hate this too. Even if she has been wrong about basically everything she was ever put in charge of, this is not how we settle political disputes in a civil society. If you want to stop using Dropbox, fine. If yo

I'm an experienced web developer (Backbone is my preferred framework) whose team is migrating to Ember. It has its high points, but on the whole, it's been driving me nuts. Ember, like most modern frameworks, represents itself as
