Yet another hypothesis being pushed by the CCP party-state is the seafood imports hypothesis. Although the motivation behind CCP's push is questionable, this hypothesis shall be treated seriously, given that in the early investigation

Here is my heavily biased take. People need to teach analytic philosophy, scientific methodology, logical empiricism, social-psychological dynamics, journalism, jurisprudence, and perhaps a version of initiative (e.g. initiative to try doin

I have an amusing idea: an independent amateur journalist network, composed of people doing the field work, in their free time. I'm not confident it will ever come true, but it's good to fantasize, at the minimum.

IMHO alternative solutions are possible. All effects aren't caused by a single factor. Free speech as a causal factor may enable an unfortunate causal path, but we can weaken this path by attenuating or removing its enabling anteceden

Slightly off-topic. I was thinking if people can enforce a model where users can choose to delegate encryption work to OS or some kind of network gateway, and inspection is allowed before encryption happens, this would be a clean and built-

I read a bit about that. The claim that Google was blocked due to unwillingness to follow Chinese laws isn't true. Be noted that China is not a country under rule of law. When Google was blocked, there was no primary legislation stipul

Markdown isn't plain Unicode text. It mixes markup marks with plain text, and is intended to provide more layout than plain text. Plus, the question is rather broad, as there are so many non-alphabetic languages around the globe. I&#x2

My 2cents. 1. A markup language taking multi-lingual considerations to heart is a must for me. Markdown doesn't work well for non-alphabetic languages in terms of typesetting etc. The web is global and multi-lingual, a new web (if ther

Hypothesis driven research disregarding rigoriousness of hypothesis formation is most often flawed, as the hypotheses will be filled with suspicious/flawed concepts that cannot serve as reliable and meaningful abstraction of reality. C
