They might or might not steal your files, but the mere fact that to use their service you have to install proprietary software is a reason not to trust them.

In the article and elsewhere Clojure is often used as an example of an anti-OOP language, yet by either Alan Kay's definition (quoted in my previous comment) or by Bertran Meyer's definition^1 Clojure uses the object oriented para

One more quote by Alan Kay: «OOP to me means only messaging, local retention and protection and hiding of state-process, and extreme late-binding of all things. It can be done in Smalltalk and in LISP. There are possibly other systems i

This is not an abstract logical problem. If you imagine yourself in the situation, it still feels like taking a risk, and this will influence your answer.

Pushing the large man is risky, you can't be 100% sure that it will work, and you can't be absolutely sure that five people will die if you don't do it. So it could be the willingness to take chances rather than the moral jud

It's not just physical safety. In Russia we have a popular saying, "the severity of Russian laws is offset by their non-observance". Variants of the phrase has been attributed to various authors from the 19th century, yet it

You could think of it as putting a low-pass filter on some of the good ideas from the ’60s and ’70s, as computing spread out much, much faster than educating unsophisticated people can happen. In the last 25 years or so, we actually got so

I understand how it is justified technically, but that does not invalidate the fact that reCaptcha is discriminating against the users who care about privacy.

Dear website owners, please, do not use reCaptcha. As was noted in other comments, Google discriminates against the users who try to protect their privacy by showing them nearly unsolvable variant. For instance, I see the hard version all t

That remark (which I put in brackets because it was not integral to my main argument) was meant to hint that even within LGBT community there are different positions on SSM. A position against SSM does not imply homophobia because it is not

Even some gays are against same-sex marriage. And that does not mean that they are also homophobes.

by Fice 13y ago
Did I say anything about homosexuals who are also homophobes? My point is that being against same-sex marriage is not necessarily homophobic.
