I'm vegetarian, not vegan. Some buy only organic, fair-trade food instead of the cheapest, mass-produced variety. Some people are actually informed about the sources of their clothes and choose not to buy some. There are ethical and mo

That's not a fair comparison. Environmental externalities are not the same as children being exploited for labor, no matter how you frame it. I do think that it is highly naive to say one doesn't care about the deals and tricks th

I think they both love reddit. I know as a user I love reddit, and despite the myriad problems with it, if I was in a position to give it some TLC and make it a place I would want to be, I would put aside interpersonal differences to make t

That's correct. And as the reddit execs et. al. have stated, it's not that such communities, whether based around fundamentally hateful memes or not, can exist on reddit. In fact, many morally/ethically reprehensible communit

I have been a participating member of the community for years. I can see it myself, I'm not being shouted at. EDIT: Honestly, looking at everything that happened a few months ago with the blackouts and multiple events surrounding Ell

I mean, if you read the comments on many of the default subs, there is a clear undertone of those cultures. I don't believe that's an editorial statement, but really a pretty accurate depiction of how many people (both inside and

I redacted it because I realized it was bad math. Sorry for the indignance, it was misinformed on my own part.

Quite frankly, I think it's possible to find that in almost any group that is middle class or higher. Reducing it to a religious problem is pretty simplistic, especially since it's already pretty well understood to be a race probl

Except it never answered why the DA's are sending more people to prison. That sort of begs the question, right? The best conclusion the author came up with was: > Maybe it’s that next election they’re looking at, that they remain to

Whoa, that's awesome! Actually, that camera on a quadcopter with some nice stitching software would get the same job done and be really easy to reuse! With APM flight controller, you could even do it autonomously, all you'd have t

Gattaca[1] is a fun sci-fi movie depicting a world where gene selection is predominant and workforce selection is based on genetics. It's pretty entertaining, and not a half bad look at the problems of that society. [1] http:/&#x

This is fascinating. It would be neat to see a list of applications where non-visible light has been used to portray non-visible data in visible light. I wonder all too often what things I'm not seeing by only being able to capture a t

I like the patreon model a lot, though it certainly doesn't scale to corporations well. Nautilus and other subscription news works out well enough. Reddit gold I think is pretty genius too.

I'm generally in agreement with you. I'm just trying to present the arguments equally from both sides.

> One is that ad blockers will evolve to valving systems for accepting advertising’s wheat while rejecting its chaff. Well, I guess that is essentially what Ad-Block Plus is doing. They whitelist ads that are not intrusive and make the w

This feels reminiscent of the arguments over piracy and content distribution media. Back before spotify and netflix and itunes, pirating music was just the way of life. People made moral arguments one way or the other and they both had cred

That is textbook trickle down economics which we have had for several decades, and look where it got us. We have some of the worst income inequality in the world, if not the worst . http://fortune.com/2014/10/31&

Well, since you decided to discuss it anyway... :) Basic income is wealth redistribution function. There is a massive income inequality problem in the US (a trivial google search will reveal, if you aren't aware of already), and a basi

Nothing is inherently wrong with the job per se, it's that the general acceptance of a commoditized workforce is dangerous in that it circumvents many other protections offered by regular jobs (not that those are that much better) in d

I agree. It's truly scary how willingly people welcome a system that commoditizes the workforce literally nothing more than a number per hour. I mean, the absolute only thing standing in the way of everybody who signs up to work for Am

Getting away from tracking is primarily why I use it. I also tend to be surprised by people thinking ad blocking is about blocking ads as well, though. Especially here, maybe it's just a cultural shift towards generally being ok with b

Those photos from that article are truly powerful. It's a shame that media coverage of war isn't more like that. It is brutal and disgusting, and if you are going to support it, at least look it in the face. I'm not convinced

How would you describe an intentional accident, and how does that differ from a passive accident? I don't see a scenario where the distinction could even apply.
