The social safety net does not have to be the same everywhere for us to make ethical decisions on the products we buy, or for a company to make ethical decisions about how their products are made. I'm sure these teenagers' wages were impor

Did you work sixty hours a week when you were fifteen? "In its report, Apple revealed the sweatshop conditions inside the factories it uses. Apple admitted that at least 55 of the 102 factories that produce its goods were ignoring Apple's r

My gym (in Ohio, USA) has an advertised monthly fee with a month-by-month contract. So they do exist. Vote with your wallet.

But isn't it his son who decides what to share and with whom? (Or him through his son's account settings.) His son can block location information, or limit it to groups he controls, for example.

If Hulu or Netflix (which uses Silverlight) were to make a native application for iPad would Apple approve it? I don't know. Neither Hulu or Netflix could make an application without approval of both Apple and their content providers.

Therefore the Master acts without doing anything and teaches without saying anything. Things arise and she lets them come; things disappear and she lets them go. She has but doesn't possess, acts but doesn't expect.

I would not call that shady. All parties agreed on those conditions before the match, and of course Deep Blue was reprogrammed between games. Kasparov changed his approach based on Deep Blue's play, as well.

You don't need the semicolons if you prefer newlines. e.g. let total=0 let n=10 for ((i=0; i<n; ++i)) do if (( i % 2 != 0 )) then printf 'Odd: %.3d\n' $i fi let total+=i

We wore "short timers chains" on our belt loops when we only had a few months left. Small brass chains with one link for every day we had left. We would dike one link off the end every day. Breaking the chain was something we looked forw

It's not so much that you enjoy the event live as you are annoyed when it is going on and you are not watching it. The same can't be said of news. You can't be annoyed by not knowing Tiger Woods was in an automobile accident. You can be

There is no rational argument to counter here. I was commenting on his sense that he was being downvoted because of a taboo around dismissing threats of suicide. He advocates violence with an argument of "Why not?", and your defense of it
