Their recommendation engine is not harmful in all cases. I used to use Twitter to follow some machine learning/programming profiles and remember the recommendations being quite good.

Islam has no issues with good science. On the contrary, the Quran has some verses which encourage enquiry, such as: "Say: 'Travel through the earth, and reflect on how he [god] started the …

I currently have 1500+ open tabs on my smartphone. The tab counter shows ":D", but I knew the number because I once accidentally closed all tabs and quickly restored them, so the browser tol…

Another side question, please. How does TimescaleDB compare to Clickhouse? Since you mentioned compression, I've been using Clickhouse to store bitemporal data, and have been amazed by its speed …

Facebook is definitely addictive. It took me more than a year of trials to be able to break the cycle and get off the platform. The thing is, it gets harder over time to take a pause from it. But now …

It didn't occur to me that someone would apply this to moral facts, but why not. In your example, the role of intuition becomes problematic if laws were based on it. Except that such intuition wo…

Not necessarily. I'm not suggesting to throw reason and common sense all along. I'm just suggesting that, in the absence of scientific evidence, you can rely on plausible intuition and sto…
