I guess you never consume content that is considered adult. This law doesn't appear to cover content, just what information you are supposed to collect about your users.

Does your personal blog collect information about users? If so, then maybe?

Why on earth should blue collar workers pay federal income tax so graduates can better afford their insane NYC or Bay Area rent? One similar example would be people without kids still having their taxes go towards funding public education

Why we would want to subsidize more expensive lifestyles? Expensive lifestyles like living in a region of the US that is more expensive than other regions? I don't think it's unreasonable to occasionally take actions that would

Isn't cost of living a pretty big piece of information that shouldn't be excluded? You would expect those with jobs that favor degrees, and being paid higher salaries would correspond to places with higher costs of living overall.

It's funny that you haven't actually said that less work is getting done. It just sounds like you are saying that "working from home" is equivalent to "slacking off", even if you didn't intend it to come o

Have the DOD force its suppliers to make their things in the US? Only allow them to import raw materials or low value manufactured elements. Just throwing ideas, might not be practical... Are there controls on what suppliers charge? If no

Sure, but I'm not sure how any of what you said relates to my post?

Yeah this type of anti-SSRI stuff is definitely not new but this has been getting major viral traction for some reason. One angle I've seen in certain circles is that people who are against gun legislation in the US are claiming that

A software engineer doesn't know how long a task normally takes, as software pretty much never gets written twice the same way, so the base estimate might be wildly off - far more than any adjustment could account for. I would adjust

Updating towards a study that wasn't properly conducted is worse than the study not existing, because it removes uncertainty that you should still possess, but it is touted as "science" in popular media all the same. This i

Huh? So people who can't sleep or feel uncomfortable without their evening beer aren't addicted, only because final stage alcoholism is a nightmare? Or alcoholism != alcohol addiction? I just don't see how a single beer, ev

Apparently there is a large crowd out there for whom one beer per day is seen as perfectly acceptable. Regardless of judgement about what is "acceptable", the idea that a beer a day makes one an alcoholic severely downplays how

Anecdotally, I've noticed that people who don't drink at all tend to be more social in general, while people who often drink in social settings can find it hard to be social if they're not drunk (and often if both parties ar

I'm confident hosts would step in to make money if YouTube's monopoly on combo hosting+discovery were broken. Folks tend to like making money. No reason they couldn't put their own ads on the videos, like YouTube does, to co

Congress itself would not decide what a safe level of arsenic is, EPA experts would. But as you said the EPA only would have the authority to regulate "clean drinking water", and since arsenic isn't drinking water, then the

The decision looks simple and correct to me, even with only reading from the very left biased BBC article. Despite your very right biased comment, I don't buy the idea that congress needs to write legislation down to specific policy

Exactly this. Every project is going to impact the environment. The end goal of a risk assessment is not to bring the environmental risk to zero, it is to bring it down to an acceptable level given the benefits of the project. I think get

Some arguments are worth making, some aren't. There is also an argument that people choose not to have kids because they are too lazy and self-involved to care for another person.

by Goronmon 4y ago
That post said the main reasons that people have kids are "They don't want to "die alone". They want to show that they can afford it." Which are entirely different reasons than the parent poster gave. This whole met

I mean most people (like you) seem to justify having kids in a selfish way (self-growth, experiences). What is an example of a non-selfish reason someone would have kids?
