Of course ideas matter and have consequences. The mistake is to identify them with individual responsibility. Do you blame Newton every time a vase falls off a shelf?

You might enjoy Rick Roderick's "Masters of Suspicion" where he talks about the influence (and perceived influence) of Nietzsche, Freud, Marx and some other individuals credited with "changing the world". "

The problem is not limited to philosophy. All of academia is broken this way. Sadly, we think the only alternative is "industry", an equally broken set of incentives. That limits fronts of human progress to two types. We either ge

The key argument I read here is that, due to specialisation, academic philosophy is currently unfit to apprehend today's problems. It is no longer capable of incorporating politics, and politics itself has escaped rational discourse. H

I have a reverse biased OA91 germanium diode here that cost $0.05 and does the same thing. Has the desperate search for applications of "quantum computing" really come to this?

Tbh I've never felt the SV culture (or the HN ethos around here) is representative of the USA generally. They do say "rugged individualism leads to ragged individuals". My experience of the many USians I know personally is

Every comment here revolves around the question of whether of European customers may choose to relocate services in the EU as an alternative to dominant US ones. The background is that the US is now an "unreliable ally". I see som

Yarvin comes across as not very articulate in this conversation. One has to doubt his bona fides. Karl Marx was no statesman, but his ideas were the banner to slaughter millions. Yarvin is no remarkable thinker whose ideas surfaced on their

This sort of positive security model with behavioural analysis is the future. We need to get it built-in to Apache,Nginx,Caddy etc. The trick is spotting crawlers from users. It can be done though.

These are DDOS attacks and should be treated in law as such. (Although I do realise that in many countries now we no longer have any effective "rule of law")

Maybe it's a blessing in disguise, yes. But I wrote up here [0] about how sad this makes me feel. We've squandered a huge opportunity this past 20 years by allowing BigTech to emerge and basically destroy the good political agenda
