It doesn't matter how many ethics courses are offered and taken. The only thing I ever retweeted on my otherwise completely empty and unused Twitter account so that I could copy and paste it when needed: "For evil to triumph, all

Why exactly was my reply downvote-worthy guys? Yes I know asking for an explanation causes a lot more nasty voting. This is ridiculous, the site is getting more and more like reddit, and I blame the site's maintainers: There are sooo

This is a gross misrepresentation of the article. It is in your own head that he solely focuses on this one thing. When somebody says "this soup needs more salt" you start talking about how there always is too much salt in proce

Revolutions require organisation - very good organisation. All you'll get from ordinary workers is, possibly, a riot, quickly subdued. You are also up against an extremely well-organised and well-armed government, but that may not ev

I'm not sure that would help much. I think the risks and uncertainties of long-term R&D increase much faster than any tax incentive can compensate for. My favorite story is the (real) history of Silicon Valley. I once thought that
