Toll highways and carpool lanes basically are what you describe. Yes, people hire strangers to sit in their car to use the carpool lane.

What's the point of having more money if you can't spend it on better goods and services? We don't have car neutrality laws to prevent rich people from paying more for Ferraris.

If so, wouldn't the approach be correctly demonstrating that these values are only trivially important? Vegans and various religious people make different purchasing decisions because of values they actually find important enough to ch

It's a slippery slope. Analysis of writing style, patterns of use, etc can deanonymize data to the point where basically everything becomes PII.

Any large company also makes allowances for differences in local laws and customs when applying their ethics code.

In other words, as long as you are unaware of the surveillance, you are happy to pretend it doesn't exist? So where's the problem? Just don't click on links like the OP.

True of this attack, but ransomware attacks targeted specifically against hospitals have been booming over the past year or two. Aside from poor IT, hospitals often need immediate access to that data to treat patients, which makes them much

That's not exactly high praise. A tuft of grass is more profitable than 90% of the startups in SV.

>The profile built up on people by ad brokers and spy agencies is a relationship? I don't think that's how most people would describe it. Most people use language woefully imprecisely. The relationship I have with the barista a

"You aren't looking at the bigger picture" is just an arrogant way to say "I think you're wrong and I'm right". It can be safely omitted in favor of actual arguments. >Do we really want to commodotize

You might even say it's the opposite.

Complaining about warfare that is asymmetrical solely due to the incompetence of one side does not elict any sympathy from me. Consumers do try to aggregate data for the equivalent of "massive data collection and mining". Most jus

Until relatively recently, unavailability of large stockpiles of consumer data (at least, stockpiles at the scale now possible) was a significant impediment to a large and probably mostly-undiscovered class of potentially ethical behavior,

That is a lot of words to simply say that some people think it is unethical. Which is an essentially empty statement. Couldn't you at least say most people and make it an argumentum ad populum?

I don't think that either, because I correctly recognize that in public, you do not have privacy, either de jure or de facto. Especially if you're not even wearing a burqa, which would today at least give you de jure privacy becau

Humans will get there too. Stalking per se is mostly only illegal because it becomes harassment and bothers the victim. This kind of monitoring is entirely unobtrusive. As the response to the original tweet illustrates, most people aren&#x2

Ethically, neither your consent or knowledge is required for someone to see you in public and remember that image. Why they do it isn't really relevant. If they use that image to do something unethical, like commit fraud, it is the fra

Right, that's the manifestation of their prejudice. In reality, there is a spectrum, not a dichotomy, and some humans can have better memories than some computers.

So if the salesman has an eidetic memory it becomes unethical? How about just an above-average one?

Most humans today are prejudiced against nonorganic life due to not growing up interacting with anyone but other meatbags. There's a huge double standard in place that makes it somehow wrong for computers to do what humans have been do

How is it an ethical issue for strangers to look at your face when you are out in public?

by 794CD01 9y ago
Because most people who use it are in one of those groups or doing business with someone who is. It is, of course, an unfair stereotype. It's just as popular among Chinese hackers.

And by "stop being greedy" you mean overpay people to do work because of qualifications that are not applicable to the job, or because they happen to be American? Why should anyone do that?
