If so, why should we trust married philosophers from UC Irvine ( a highly politically biased institution )? In the article, they themselves say that an ideologically heterogeneous set of people produce higher quality articles. Wouldn't

It's "hidden" to us by our propagandists. Our empire is visible and obvious to everyone else. Our news, history books, movies, etc all hide it by simply not labeling the US as an empire. It's just as easy as that. We use

Sure, the basic tenet of biological organism is to survive and procreate. However, no biological organism, other than humans, fear death. No other organism, that we know of, has a conception of death. A dog doesn't have a conception of

We don't get to criticize people we don't know? Then we can't criticize or discuss anything. If you don't want to criticize, then you shouldn't. But what's with the "we"? Why do you think you should g

The news industry would collapse because they would have nothing else to write about? The news industry would collapse because one of the biggest news distribution platforms would cease to exist? I would be happy since I won't have to

I agree. I find it hard to believe that anyone is going to transport all the physical tapes from cold storage and look through all the physical tapes. My guess is that the data is removed on production and recovery sites. The data will be l

That pretty much only applies to emails sent within the same organization/network. If you send an email outside your organization/network, you generally can't recall those back.

I think you have it backwards. The moderation came after reddit, youtube, etc became mainstream. It didn't become mainstream because of moderation. Reddit, youtube, etc became extremely popular precisely because they weren't censo

I answered your question. My assertion is that neither the times nor the companies are different. Google was always evil. And facebook has always followed in google's footsteps. And I wasn't accusing you of being part of Google&#x

Absolutely that helped in gaining a wider audience. But I suspect the reason yahoo chose google was because all their tech people preferred google because they all used it to search for code. Maybe it's my high school or my college, bu

We learn this in our Theory of Computation classes. Starting with basic deterministic finite automata to nondeterministic to regular languages to context free grammars to pushdown automatas to turing machines and halting problem.

Because google is any different from facebook? So sick of the google PR here. Facebook is following in google's footsteps. Anything facebook has done, google has done. Not only that, google has far greater ties to government and a part

It's not simply a matter of "uncomfortable" syntactic sugar. It's a fundamental change from a statement to an expression. Also, there is an elegance to the functional style of pattern matching. And C# has been incorporat

Human moral development is the outburst of violence and ultimately the victors defining virtue and morality and law. All one has to do is look at ww2 to see this. "Eons ago we discovered through this cycle that rape and murder are wron

People without H-1B visas are LEGALLY allowed to apply for green card. H-1B has nothing to do green cards. Green cards have existed for decades before H-1B visas were introduced in the 90s. I don't know why you keep lying about this wh

I suppose that could be one of the reasons, but I believe the main reason was google won over CS students in high school and college in the late 90s and early 00s. I was introduced to google in high school because it was the best search eng

Nuclear in the US has historically been the victim of deep pocketed fossil fuel industry and their PR and lobbying efforts. Now, it's getting it from the fledgling renewable energy industry also. Many of these environmental groups are

Where did you come up with the idea that free speech laws give them the right to censor. It doesn't. Ownership and private property rights give them the right to censor.

I'm not splitting hairs. I'm stating facts. There is a difference between immigration and h-1b visa. One is a process where people are moving to america to become american citizens. The other is a temporary work visa. Also, I&#x27

H-1B has nothing to do with Yahoo, Google or Tesla. Stop it. Blatantly lying doesn't add anything to the debate. Jerry Yang and Sergei Brin immigrated to the US when they were children and they became citizens before they co-founded ya

"And as criticism grows over Silicon Valley’s bro culture and its lack of minority representation" Isn't 40% of the tech industry made up of east and south asians? Do they not count as minorities? If anything, you'd thin

The first sentence of the article explains what a perfect hash function is : "A perfect hash function is one that is collision-free.". Essentially, a perfect hash function is one where no two domain elements map to the same range

Journalism is broken because journalism is overrun by highly biased and agenda driven ideologues like kara swisher. https://twitter.com/karaswisher/status/1086735766997344261 She epitomizes everything wrong with j

You mean a state sponsored indoctrination of which state approved media sources to trust? It's funny how if alabama ran a state media indoctrination campaign, some people would be screaming propaganda. But california does it, some peop

The idea of "regulating" google and facebook isn't to provide accurate news or facts. It's to make sure the elites get to control propaganda. So when the elites want to start an illegal war somewhere, the people are bomb

That argument is both true and deceiving at the same time. The poorest countries are improving the most because they are so far behind everyone else that any improvement is spectacular when viewed as a percentage. Take a homeless person who

The government says a 18 year old is too immature to legally purchase beer. But a $30K loan which they can't bankrupt out of, they sure are mature enough for that. It's getting teenagers to sign away a significant part of their 20
