Also known as the Nuremberg Defense. Apple is Just Following Orders™ after all. To say it another way, there are multiple parties doing multiple wrongs here.

The New Zealand Bill of Rights is the single most toothless, feeble, pointless piece of legislation I have ever read. http://www.legislation.govt.nz/act/public/1990/0109/latest/D... Literally everyt

the point is, you have to draw a line somewhere, and if the line is "nobody can see anything this guy wrote" then the collateral damage is going to be perhaps just too much. When I said Archive.is has more than one page, I meant w

Well, we could just turn the entire internet off, then the messages would surely be hidden. Archive.is has a lot more than one page.

Well, should we not then also ban Facebook? 4channel.org never hosted the video (and, afaik, never linked to it), but Facebook.com did, so then why is the former banned and not the latter?

Sort of. The ISPs opt into a filter, but the government runs the filter... and if all the ISPs have opted in, and the government is running the filter, then is it not the government doing the censorship? https://en.wikipedia.org&

They're also blocking 4channel.org (which is the worksafe, e.g. retro gaming, version of 4chan, /pol and /b etc are on 4chan.org) and zerohedge and others not sharing the video. I just wanna read about TurboGrafx and Sega Gen

Well, the business was acquired for $500,000,000 and a single employee probably costs what backing up two petabytes of data for a year (on glacier) does. They could also always use tapes, for something as critical as the data that is the bl

Some kind of perceptual hashing and whatever additional magic YouTube uses to detect copyrighted stuff? Once a video is flagged, it can be added to the perceptual database in a fraction of a second and all future uploads checked against it,

Wow. Link of the day right here. Thanks. My test search on all of these engines is "atari", so all I get here is atari fan pages, and blogs about retrocomputing and restoring old hardware and stuff, no atari.com, no wikipedia, no

It seems simple for theoretical malware to show you the vote you believe you cast, so you'd have to log in and check your vote on a second device?

That sounds like a good avenue, promote it as learning a skill to get a job and re-integrate. Maybe also explain that it takes a fair bit of effort and study to master so it would focus the prisoner's time on something productive.

I went into this leaning towards "they probably are mistreating the guy", but nope, dude's... wrong, manipulative, a liar to further his own goals? The guy quotes the Istanbul Convention, article 4, as being "Discriminat

Well, it's not hard to imagine a future in which a majority of labor is "just in time" and people all have 6 different part-time gigs going concurrently, taking whichever job notification pops up next on their phone. Optimal

Well, that assumes someone wants to sell a house, or that you're allowed to build a new one. Neither of those may be the case.

Participation will become non-optional. When one company, or tycoon, or whatever, owns everything, renting will no longer be optional. It's not hard to imagine a world in which most software is SaaS. It's also not hard to imagine

How many auto fatalities are a result of people driving 150? Almost none, I'd wager. So then is my argument still ridiculous? Freedom has value. Just because we can force some people to do some things more safely in some cases doesn&#x

I don't want Volvo, or a computer, or a mechanical system to kill my family because it didn't account for an edge case. Everyone here is talking about normal highway use, but, as everyone knows, not all situations are normal. Bad

I don't doubt the technical competence at all, I doubt the management. for example, we now have https://screenshots.firefox.com/ so that I can store my browser screenshots In The Cloud. The developer hours are going so

I appreciate the reply and genuinely hope you succeed, but it seems like an uphill battle and a hard sell. For a trivial CRUD app, the dev can just re-use one they already wrote, no need to learn this layer you've created ... and for a

Again? Can this end with anything other than failure? It'd be nice if it could, but that seems outside the realm of possibility. Aside from this never having worked, and being, so far as we can all tell, incompatible with the level of

Healthcare is available, yes, and so are gold-plated Lamborghinis -- these both apply to a certain class (not the same class, mind you, but there is an economic floor here). Minimum wage is about $1300/mo, good luck paying rent and hea

There aren't any diverse, developed nations of 330 million to compare to so I used the nearest proxy. Ah yes, the great privilege of no healthcare, stagnant wages, the worlds highest incarceration rate, and largely nonexistent public t

Having people trained in practical and outdoor skills is indeed a benefit to society at large, I agree there -- but I think you can learn this in school, getting kids out of the classroom more often would probably be a huge benefit to every

New Zealand hasn't had conscription in 50 years and it's also a model society, as is Canada. Australia is less of a model society, and Japan is culturally homogenous (so maybe you could argue its the homogeneity that begets unity)
