I think you confused a few points. You mention both men getting apartments so they can form families with their already existing relationships and men who don't have relationships turning to online resources to try to understand how t

I think the implications were about sex before marriage, not just actual cases of having another persons child. Rates of births out of wedlock has been steadily increasing and is nearing 50% (may already be passed it).

What about a society that is polygamous without contract? Many of the issues of polygamy seem to happen not because of the actual marriage contracts, but because of the relationships formed. Even if you remove the contracts, if we allow t

Unless something major changes, public domain will never happen again. Corporations such as Disney will continuously lobby to extend it to cover their older works.

Isn't that what we are doing? Not exactly shutting it down, but massive amounts of privacy destroying laws and related technologies are in place for this reason, but which are used more to enforce laws with far less agreement. We did

Can't speak for them, but for me the issue isn't all taxation, but it is the extent of taxation and what it is spent on. I mind being taxed when that money is going to corrupt government contracts, being used to kill innocent peo

If we consider stating facts without context needed to truly understand them as being equal on level of wrongness with something like discrimination, I think we should consider exactly how many people use such poorly informed facts. Gun cr

As long as users don't care about security, the exchanges won't care as well. Once users care enough, then the exchanges will. I think crypto exchanges are demonstrating a flaw in our society's approach to security where pe

As long as the rest of people are spending money, some part of the industry will still target them. In video games, for all the games that chase the whales, there are still many games that don't. As long as there is money to be made,

With bitcoins, it is easier to track the notes, but it is also easier to get rid of the association if you find someone willing to clean them for you. Say I steal 10 bitcoins from you. I go to someone who cleans bitcoins for a cost of 10%.

How about a somewhat updated law? Binding arbitration should only be legal when made between two entities who have a power difference no greater than that of an adult and a teenager. If the power difference is greater, say like that betwe

How does one determine should or shouldn't? If we are looking at the factors that Cook will actually be judged upon that he cares about, which is his ability to make money for Apple shareholders, then he is doing the right thing. He

It is simpler to think of anything said by a CEO as being a complete farce. They are doing what makes the share holders money, and if they aren't, they won't be a CEO for long. They'll be exceptions, but the accuracy rate m

I'm pretty sure that would be an allowed reason to reject. But what if you are a small business and don't want the person there because you don't want the reputation of having someone with that particular criminal past workin

Isn't there an even bigger loophole, where a non-California recommendation company can recommend hire/not-hire and suggest a salary. The hiring company never looks it up, the non-California company does, but they never give the i

There is also possibility the existing laws take into account intent. Filming with a nanny cam that is visible (even if you don't call it out) to protect your kid is allowed. Filming with a hidden cam for prurient reasons is illegal.

Most intersectionality can be seen as simplistic statistical modeling that has flaws (such as male not being a benefit whenever the legal system is involved). I don't actually think the theory is wrong, but I do think the current mode

I could see it being done generically enough that a person who was wronged sees something being done, a person who did something wrong sees an admonishment, but also someone who didn't actually do anything wrong sees it as a general &#

There are times when someone wants to cause pain to another, and chooses a response to inflict maximum harm. This could be a racial slur, but it could also refer to a death of a loved one or something else. Imagine someone telling another

What is the end result? You go up to someone who isn't a minority and tell them that even though they did everything right and were in the top 100, you choose a minority who was in the top 500 but not the top 100 over them due to thei

I doubt it. At least in the society I grew up in, there are gender differences in social expectations completely outside the job market that lead to different incentives in the job market. Any ranking system will have to deal with the res

I think the relationship isn't linear. Too much equality and there is no reason to go above and beyond, to innovate or to take risks. To much inequality, and we find the same result. Enough inequality to reward those who do more (wi

Part of the problem is that the inequality leads to behavior that protects the inequality. Disney passing lobbying for laws that will keep their work out of public domain despite how much they benefited from public domain. Drug companies

Even if they consented to such conditions in the past, if they have since changed their mind and wish to remove consent, how is it ethical to not allow them to do so?
