I enjoyed reading Asimov's review, but I'm surprised that it makes you think less of Orwell rather than understand that they're two polar points in perspectives on writing. I don't think I've read a character in Asi

The latter is what I was saying and plenty of Chinese statecraft was contemporary or earlier than Plato/Artistotle, so if there's a reason to fetishize earlier sources, then there's still no need. I'm "all over the

There are so many examples it's maybe hard to know where to begin -- after all it happened for at least 1-5 centuries in modern/pre-modern history, and before then the Greeks and then the Romans, e.g. did it themselves. There are

It's not extremism -- it's representing a value -- of being able to access, learn, and change the code that we run and use to improve our lives. One perspective would say "RMS/Free-software advocates are saying only free

You could also argue that Math had its replication crisis in the 17th-19th centuries. E.g. infinite series "proofs" that were eventually shown to be flawed methodologies. This and other crises led to grounding modern mathematic

I believe Zignal (which is sort of CrowdTangle for Twitter) provides a variable in their API for "likelihood they are a bot" which is direct from Twitter -- so Twitter often knows the account is a bot, but much less often takes ac

However, you have to say you're looking for work to count as unemployed. If I get $300 to say so, then I might say I'm looking for work (and genuinely look for it) -- but if I no longer get any benefit (or much less) from saying

The irony is that there's a disincentive to skip ads on 'paid' users even more -- because people willing to pay for things are even more valuable to advertisers -- so if you make a paid option with no ads, you're also gu
