I suggest that hate is an emotion generated by fear and for every scenario involving hate, you'll find one or more fears it owes it's existence to. This is why the underlying fear is what needs to be addressed to eliminate hate.

some people think the web is going to die and native apps are going to rule. I'm not one of them. I'm guessing the "web based apps are crap" agenda is important to those who stand to lose from less people developing na

Exactly the same could have been said 15 years ago, and yet I'd argue it is the platform which has advanced the most in terms of both use and technology, and all this in spite of great standardization difficulties that other platforms

Out of instinct I first checked todays date to make sure it's not April 1st... Would expect a serious proof candidate to a have attracted much more attention in the media/internets. Anyone have more information?

Interesting, I get a decade younger with each try... Doubt there is much behind the conversion between reaction time and age, but it's a nice setting to test your reaction time :-)

Not sure what "change of scene" means, but: "Based on earlier studies showing that some of the eye movements of REM sleep corresponded to the reported direction of the dreamer's gaze (e.g., Roffwarg et al. 1962), we aske

The specs show the maximum speed is 100km/h - sounds a bit risky :-)

The quality of the message and it's impact are definitely influenced by the type medium but it does not follow that this makes the medium not neutral. Let's take an extreme case - a medium that when used will harm the receiver of

As someone who is also saddened by software bloat, I also wondered a bit about where it stems from. There are of course the usual suspects (some of them mentioned in the article), but I think it boils down to another symptom of the modern r

Actually, technology is neutral. What isn't neutral is to what ends that technology is leveraged. The human ability to be smart brought us amazing technologies. Our ability to be wise is what will determine whether these technologies

Not to oversimplify this (things are not black and white etc. etc.), but it seems like the world is in a constant struggle between cynicism, greed, egotism and hypocrisy on one hand vs. idealism, generosity, selflessness and integrity on th

On one hand, I don't think this is some meat industry propaganda and there probably is a link between the disconnect of meat consumers and the act of butchering to the increase of meat consumption, but I don't agree with the core

What I'm suggesting is that perhaps many people who are interested in immortality, are interested in it more because they are afraid of dying than because they enjoy living. As for generalisations of broad groups of people - any attemp

I'm not some enlightened guru (quite the opposite in fact), but I keep wondering whether the obsession with immortality is just another symptom of what prevents peace of mind and happiness in life in the first place which, if true, wo

I think most attempts to support mysticism using quantum mechanics are made by people who know very little about either, but know quite a bit about what people want and how to make money from it.
