The title isn't negative, though. Just radical.

Interesting, but not very useful to somebody who's an avid deleter of old e-mails. Kind of paints an odd picture. Also, anyone else get a stuck logout&delete button after getting t…

Oh, I absolutely guarantee it. Your FB search history, other people's FB search history (of your real name and of your fake name), which pages you view in correlation with what e-m…

>Is it unlikely that 3rd party would buy data from Facebook or some entity that obtained the inaccurate data from Facebook? Probably. Using a fake/altered name is incredibly common…

You aren't alone. People are organizing protests and preparing letterheads, as they should be, but it all feels just as ineffective as the last time. The ugly truth, as many people…

Threads like these might as well be generated by an algorithm. >NSA news >Why is everybody so surprised!? comment Like clockwork. Let me ask you, though. Do you really think that p…

Mathematics education is a bit odd now for sure. I think if there was an effort to teach kids the logical and even creative side of math early on, they'd have an easier time buildi…

He doesn't suggest that human nature is more than physics, he is saying that consciousness isn't computable. If neural subsystems are a hierarchically arranged and internally gener…

I've never seen much ad hominem or meanness in the comments here. In fact, I think this place is awfully civil. People here have no problem calling one another out on something tha…

>He says that data can be gathered showing how many people see a particular painting or share it online, and thus reach conclusions on how successful an artist is. Wouldn't this ju…

While I agree with the general point of your post, I think that before resorting to the stock "old man yells at cloud" joke it's worth acknowledging that as a society we've been th…

Nothing about how anybody other than yourself perceives your work?

That's weird. I didn't think humans were susceptible to "natural courting poses". Is there any scientific literature on this that isn't based purely on speculation?

I thought you might be basing it on the fact that he couldn't even finish his blog post.

Less memory. Less research. It only has one job to do, etc. No extra bullshit. I know I'm being ridiculous. I'm just bummed that I can't read some of these really awesome books wit…

I feel like a god damned idiot, but what the fuck is a guy to do if he wants to read PDF files on an e-reader? They look like dogshit on Kindles. Thing is, I have a ton of them. Mo…

This is exactly what gets me through my chemistry classes. It's pretty ridiculous, but I think it puts the person back into the comfortable mindset of control. Rather than learning…

I submit that like most socially active voices, her method of appealing to emotion will win no converts and will probably receive the praise of people who agreed with her before sh…

Luckily the thing that all websites are missing when they ask you to fill in a name field is the ability to verify whether or not it is actually your name.

I think your willingness to accept this as the truth is more telling of your own disposition than any of ours. Of course we have the choice. I don't participate in Facebook, but I'…

I do enjoy a good run, but I feel like walking gets a bad rap. Running will help you feel great, walking will help you think straight. That's what I say, anyway. Will Self did an A…

Soundcloud > Myspace. Bandcamp > Myspace. Myspace could have salvaged themselves as a music community, but they somehow screwed it up. I'm guessing nepotism is involved in some way…

>I want to read what you have to say That's interesting because after reading and participating in a number of blogs and message boards over the years, I am really tired of what pe…

I agree. It's a pretty shallow idea. Is it a terrible thing to be "fascinated" by something that is supposedly terrible? Fascination doesn't actually necessitate a polarized reacti…

It's interesting that this sort of thing is seen as a guy slagging records rather than a man just giving his (educated and experienced) opinion, like many others who are dedicated …
