Equivalently, you can look at divorce statistics of couples that meet online vs offline. A study from 2013 suggests that the divorce rate is lower and marriage satisfaction is high…

Indeed, lots of people also care about stories. Meeting online by algorithm does not make for a very good story.

I dimly remember reading on Reddit that these machines were not the boy's invention.

Maybe my judgement is clouded, but it seems Google and other search engines have started to reinterpret search queries to a really annoying degree. More often than ever I have to p…

Yeah, it is some kind of god, which is a completely far fetched, utopist, naive and futurist idea. We already know how to deal with the problem of corrupt leadership: Burn it down …

Uhm, no: The piece claims we are subjected to inhumane incentives set by competition for resources (rather than by corrupted individuals and groups who have become too cozy in thei…

It's both. Of course there is value in such bullshit. It rewards the status drive of those who can play the game. Those who don't, get only negative value out of it. Overall, produ…

I do not get why cooperations make it so hard for people who simply want to do their job with minimal bullshit. You would think the free market gets rid of such inefficiency, but e…
