I've built a fairly large, modern web app using rails and intercooler ( https://github.com/LeadDyno/intercooler-js ) and I've been very happy with the results: simple, feels modern and easy to extend. The two t

The IQ denials and blank slate creationists are hurting exactly the people they claim they are trying to help. (Hard to tell if it is genuine, it might just be virtue signaling.) The best thing we could be doing for disadvantaged groups

I hate to ruin a good Guardian anecdotal narrative, but male happiness has been trending upward for the last 40 years. Females are the ones becoming less happy, for reasons I will leave to the reader to speculate on: http://www.

This is the basis of perhaps one of the most disturbing paintings of Goya, Saturn Devouring His Son: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/82/Fr... It is also worth recalling that m

That's fair, these are all very small bits of information we are exchanging of course, but I would still encourage you to watch the Peterson lectures, at least the first one, to see how an intelligent and very well read non-religious p

Yeah, I agree. They need to have an ideological filter for the popular page or, better, do something like an ideological page-rank algorithm so it can be personalized. Right now it is pretty shocking content, a result of Gab's commit

Right. I guess I should be more explicit in my prediction that the market will move faster than the governments will. I know that people here don't like Gab, but looking at it rationally they look like the most likely challenger in th

Brand follows product, not vice versa. Good product allows for a good brand to be built. Mailchimp only looks "simple" now. When it first hit, it was revolutionary in its simplicity and effectiveness. So build a startup, then, m
