Coming from someone who didn't start with PHP. Has used a variety of other programming languages. And programs in PHP daily I will say that it fails in many important respects and will for some time to come. The first things that come to mi

It depends on what you mean by tangible. You're meaning here seems to be something like "having a direct impact on the physical sciences", a very limited question considering the breadth of the topics covered by philosophy but certainly the

I have to disagree here. Technology itself clearly is not something that you can "make sure..is used for good". The problem is not with any one piece of technology (eg. the computer) or technology as the sum of all individual technologies.

Good article. I would just add that Philosophy classes especially the more abstract 19th (Kant, Hegel, Schopenhauer, Nietzsche) and 20th century (Heidegger, Foucault, Mearleu-Ponty, Wittgenstein) philosophers are fantastic and often under a

I'm actually working on a research paper at the moment which shows how this case is overstated. The IPD merely shows that given a situation in which neither party has any advantage over the other the best choice for maximizing outcomes is c

What the hell? This video is one minute long and has nothing insightful at all. This is more an ad for your website than anything.

I'm kinda hoping this is a joke, but I'm also guessing not. The point is you would feel as helpless and frustrated as women do now if the tables were turned and the entire social structure was set up so as to belittle you and give you littl

It's just lazy entrepreneurialism. Everyone wants to make lots of money without having to really do the taxing lowly day-to-day work.
