Just as FYI / technical distinction, you can be sued for rendering first aid, the likelihood of that suit being successful is unlikely due to the protections under the good Samaritan laws. Lawyers can still be expensive. As a professio

No, that is incorrect, you do not need laws to protect "freedom of speech". In fact it is very easy to go from a law that "protects" freedom of speech to one which limits it. E.g. You can say whatever you want as long as

The Horizontal and interpretative vertical Spanish flag are wrong. The Spanish Constitution stipulates the yellow band to be twice as tall as the reds [0]. That is 25% Red, 50% yellow, 25% red. [0] http://es.wikipedia.org/wik

I think an even better example would be Nadal v Djokovic on the 2012 Australian Open final. According to Nadal the best game he ever played and consolidated Djokovic as one of the greats. And you could see how one lifted the other up to do

The irony here is that in order to be able to get people forgotten, companies will need to do a much better job at knowing what information belongs to whom (build an identity) so it can be forgotten. The problem also becomes, people who sha

I think copyright would be the least of the worries. Think about the implications it would have in courts for common traffic offenses, non-violent crimes (including drug use), and maintaining corporate and state secrets. Then also consider

Excel for Mac doesn't have the "Evaluate Formula" function and the Name Manager is crippled... (to name a few issues) Makes it really hard to do complex and robust development.

Basically, by spending so much time doing work for peanuts to make ends meet or as a primary source of income, they become reliant on that income and will not find opportunities elsewhere. The argument is that mTurk perpetuates and thrives

The moral argument is a weak one at best. Companies have a responsibility to their shareholders to maximise profit. I there is a $500 deductions for drycleaning without receipts, people are going to claim all $500. It's the same concept at

Both vaccine and non-vaccine groups receive appropriate counselling (this part can be double blind even) regarding HIV, risk behaviors, and as a trial vaccine it might no be 100% effective etc etc... You assess the impact of behavior change

There is no placebo group, it would be highly unethical to do so. Half the sample population gets the treatment half of it doesn't with the option to get the treatment once trial finishes. Changes in behavior due to treatment are accounted
