It's not unreasonable to choose death over living under an unjust and corrupt regime, whose laws you don't agree with. In fact, there are many people in the world today who make that very choice. I'm assuming you've neve

Philosophy is irrelevant? That's really quite a bizarre statement to make. Philosophy is quite useful in defining AI (philosophy of mind) and quantum physics (philosophy of physics) to name a few. Your comment is beyond narrow minded

I'm not a big fan of defining objects by their opposites. Derrida argues exactly this in Deconstruction, but it's fairly useless in deriving meaning . I believe Frege had it right by observing that there is a sense and referen

Notions of adulthood vary from culture to culture. In many cultures, after an arbitrary rite of passage, children are considered "adults". I think, personally, the point at which one becomes an adult is acknowledging the bitter an

Some roads are plated in gold, but others are broken and run down. It's easy to have your sentiment when your road is the former and not the latter.

Your response is a prime example of how hypersensitive your generation is to criticism. A healthy dose of criticism is not only a contribution, but a form of flattery in a way. (Because your detractor thought your comment was worthy of crit

Right, it has led to great peace among nation-states, except for the fact that rogue actors can easily acquire nuclear materiel in the former Soviet republics.

There is no doubt that there is a large degree of influence from Taoist, Confucian, Buddhist, Shinto and even Hindu (people seem to forget this for some reason) philosophy in Japanese culture today. I agree that Zen is not expressed in eve

I agree that open offices are, in practice, horrific endeavors. But I think the concept behind them is valid: to foster collaboration and eschew meetings. Given the choice between being stuck in meetings all day and an open office plan, I&#

It's surprising that New Zealand bends over backwards for the United States like this. There are numerous Latin American countries with known narcoterrorists and traffickers that refuse to extradite their criminals to the US, even thou

Honestly, it just seems like they were a mediocre restaurant. Whether or not Yelp and publicity helped or harmed them is debatable, but that doesn't change the fact that their restaurant wasn't anything spectacular to write home a

Then why the immediate escalation? Wouldn't it have made more sense to contact the researcher directly, rather than using his position of power to pressure the researcher's company's CEO? Why not assume good faith? (Which is

I don't know about "state of the art", but they are tried and true for lexing and parsing respectively. If you are looking for something more exotic or a very specific use-case, I'd say use something like Ragel[0]. [0] h

If somebody has a pattern of behavior that is unsavory, regardless of their social standing or wealth, we tend to scrutinize that person. The same goes true of Zuck. Remember, this is the guy who not so long ago called his users "dumb

That's an awfully charitable view you have of politicians in the United States. The corruption is so deep within the US government that three letter agencies needn't blackmail any elected official. Our elected officials are collab

Empty promises given by a morally bereft company. These types of companies are the ones we should crucify and condemn.

I disagree sempai. Holding a CEO to a different standard than a common employee is a recipe for elitism. I will reiterate that a person's beliefs have no bearing on their ability.

No, I am the embodiment of logic and reason in a world where nepotism reigns. Except the nepotism isn't derived from hereditary privilege or income; it is derived from a particularly virulent philosophy that is not rooted in reality. A

The ultimate and delicious irony of your comment is that you endorse a behavior that is in and of itself toxic -- publicly crucifying somebody because you don't agree with their beliefs. This line of thinking is not only dangerous, it&
