Of course the typical Walmart shoplifter will be educated about the law and have ready access to legal advice. /s Edit: To Rowdown... Even better HN could charge a fee for throwaways and donate the proceeds to legal aid funds. You’d be

Same reasons? Some are heavily invested it personally, ideologically or otherwise, and the rest of us are not.

Freedom of religion is extremely notional in much of the world. How do you propose that 99.99% of Rohingya would realistically have the freedom to explore and choose a religion other than their own? Not to mention that their ethnicity is on

It’s one of the more purely religious conflicts out there, for most of its history. https://www.csmonitor.com/USA/Politics/2017/0928/Is-Rohingya...

Worth risking prison over? That sounds like a gambler who loses, not someone who managed to amass and retain wealth.

That’s the issue, which really comes down to the word “Alloy” in this case. If you believe there’s a chance that the word alloy was used instead of a more accurate and technical term, then your points definitely stand. If they really meant

A hormesis theory of advertising? I think it’s more likely to be a linear exposure model.

Sure, and it makes me squirm a bit, but I can’t stop PP. even better reduces how much time I spend thinking critically about how I’m being manipulated, which is just a relief. Except for product placement, and I suppose billboards, I just

I’d be baffled if they didn’t. Time and again studies have shown that the complex overlapping cognitive demands of games such as shooters have a distinct and lasting benefit. IIRC, researchers in one case studied people playing an early ite

Put a statutory value on info, and a huge breach bankrupts you, so you seek insurance. The insurers want money, not risk, so they due the living hell out of your diligence. As you said, if it’s done right it’s self-correcting. BUT... do it
