Also, his idea that "making something people want" precludes exploitation is naive at best. It's easier to make something that the masses want by exploiting people along the way. A…

Source? I remember multiple cited authors coming out in support of Damore.

His leaked manifesto.

Less here, but WDS is all over the reddit threads about this. Condescending grad students talking about how condescending Wolfram is.

Why? They've already tried to mix mobile and desktop UIs with strange results. Gnome Shell has never been usable on touchscreens due to poor open source multitouch drivers. There a…

I don't like that people got laid off, but I can't muster a lot of sympathy specifically for an former gawker employee. Down with outrage clickbait!

Clickbait Title. It's not sending the signals "to Earth". It's millions of light years away and is non-directional.

I have a few thoughts. 1. Vague historical anecdotes are not quantitative evidence. 2. Existing biological evidence supports an inverse relationship between testosterone and tear p…

There are a number of glaring issues with this argument. First of all, it's difficult to identify who the "bank robbers" were/are. For example, I'm irish- my ancestors never owned …

Ideally there should be a middle ground.

No, it's an extremely overreaching interpretation of a treaty and NOAA's legislative charter.

Yes, by action. I think they're fewer in number, but I've met a couple. Women are human and have the exact same range of possible behaviors as men.

Larry Sanger is one of the most abrasive, authoritarian people I've ever had the mispleasure of arguing with. He also tried to screw my friend Ben Kovitz out of credit for introduc…

But the author even points out that the two are intertwined. Cultural problems will create resource acquisition constraints.

It describes me perfectly. After being cheated by the DNC, I didn't vote for them as a "fuck you". I will continue to do this, possibly even vote for the opposition, for as long as…

>Nevertheless, the anatomical characteristics of Sapiens remained, and none of the Neanderthal ones My occipital bun, my supraorbital ridge, my stocky height, my skin, and acetylch…

This reads like an advertisement.

Your analogy fails because you still have to prove that you were punched in the gut. Even if sex occurred (bodily fluids were recovered), rape shouldn't be automatically assumed ju…

You asked for a source and he gave you one. Now rebut it, offer your own, or stop whining

Why not? Aren't Snopes articles well cited?

I'm having trouble figuring out why the outrage is being characterized as "Alt-Right". Seems like someone is trying to push a narrative. I'm liberal, and I'm fairly angry with how …

1. Please see a defense of Evo Psych here: https://evolution-institute.org/article/on-common-criticisms... 2. Social justice authors are notorious for confusing explanation with ad…

Have you read any of the leaked internal emails? People were quite literally threatening him. I would be pro-hostile in his place.
