People that implore others to examine their privilege don't do so to make people feel bad And yet you're saying that just by not being (say) transgendered[1] I'm undermining other people's agency. And I can't choose not to. And that it's

Correct me if I'm wrong, but Game of Thrones isn't broadcast over the air.

Are you saying that over-the-air broadcasts were not initially covered by copyright?

The effective treatment for any of these will not help the others. This isn't entirely true. A person that isn't getting enough sleep can "fix" the problem with ADD medications, and thus maintain the erroneous belief that they have ADD an

The explanation is that it doesn't matter what you said. Google cares more about who you are[1] than what you say you're going to do[2]. Nearly all of the responses were going to be some variation on the core functions of Glass anyway, so r

In the same way that anybody sitting down holding their phone could actually be recording you. Yes, it's just like that, and that's the problem. That's creepy. Putting it on your face doesn't make it less creepy, even if you're a Google

You didn't read the thread. He's suggesting doing human studies instead of animal studies.

The problem is you (as a scientist) don't know that an experimental subject will have a better life, or a life at all, and you don't have enough data about the risks to fairly compensate a person for taking those risks on. You're just makin

Please don't let something like that keep you from reading a book. If you don't want them to get your money, get it from a library.

How does that relate to Google Glass? All you've done is restate "it could happen". I don't know how to convey to you the extent to which that's not the point.
195.
by GHFigs 14y ago
That doesn't even make sense. "It could happen" is not a good reason--it's the absence of a reason. The list of things that could possibly be implemented is far too long to assume that all will be. You just aped my post without thinking a

VP8 was developed as patented proprietary technology by On2, and the only innovation since Google purchased the company has been picking a container format. It might be solid gold in every other respect, but it's not a very good example of

There are a plethora of white male role models to look to for inspiration in nearly any professional field (even basketball!). Is the same true for black lesbians? Black lesbians are as free to look up to white male role models as anybody

And a lot of things that should in the abstract be harmless are not in reality. And yet, that's an abstract statement in itself. In reality, was this harmful? More specifically, was "the future of programming was on the line"? Were the co

Curiously, no such link appears in the "Internet Defense League" email, the submitted link, the EFF's FAQ, or the EFF's action page.
