I mean why isn't ethical enough? Meat processing is one of the single worst industries for climate change, a surprising amount of the energy production field.

Is it reasonable to make that assumption? How many ex-Mozilla work on Firefox forks now? How many ex-Google work on Chrome forks? Genuine questions...

My least favorite Hacker News trope is pretending not to understand what a metaphor is to nitpick an inaccuracy in the literal interpretation.

The reason you aren't reporting being the victim of a crime is because, given only what you've told me so far, you weren't. You came close sure, but altering the statistics to reflect the emotions of you and your friends woul

You're overcomplicating the methodology. Let's map out a few numbers: A: Number of crime victims armed B: Number of crime victims unarmed C: Victims of ones own gun (who don't already fall into category B) D = B-A+C means D i

> A pattern you see is that simply _having_ a gun is a massive massive deterrent. I think that's true of having any weapon. So a gun specifically is an unnecessary risk in my opinion.

I think this is something that's getting better with time. Relationships among younger people is often way more focused on consent and women being able to speak their mind. By no means are you wrong but I do think it's on good tra

I think this might be implicitly accusing holocaust deniers of mass reporting and spreading misinformation about the content of the film so it gets pushed up the reporting queue and a Google search returns at least some results that appear

I think people thought because software cannot really be scarce that it was immune to the flaws of capitalism but that doesn't seem to be the case.

I like the community here overall but there are far too many discussions tainted by the implicit assumption that if (royal) you see yourself as valuable then others value is synonymous with their similarity to you.

Does YouTube count? I know it's had it's controversy but it's still miles better than if it hadn't been acquired.

Also LUT has its limitations... namely I use masks and vignetting all the time. Sure I could add this in my other tools but I can also color correct just fine without an AI 'assisting' me.

I'm throwing you a real softball question and you've whiffed it like 5 times in a row. You personally find it ethical to systemically take a stance on the exact same speech in some situations and not in others for what you yoursel

Bloody hell, I am definitely losing the plot. The reason you feel that way is because a lot of other people do? You have absolutely no rationale or thought process for the disparities between organizations x and y except that people are mad

True. There is plenty of evidence that meat farming has far greater emissions than plant farming, and that many animals are a leading producer of methane while plants produce oxygen. It is far better to do something because the evidence sup

I'm genuinely struggling to see how this answers my question. You continually discuss laws when I made it abundantly clear that because laws are, as you put it, Calvinball they are irrelevant to what should be done. > CloudFlare (a
