My youngest brother is eight. Far from being the offspring of ubermenshen, he suffers from a slew of learning disabilities inflicted on his brain by drug use during pregnancy. My brother doesn't type fast, he doesn't know how to code python

I do not understand your point. Yes, there's fucked up situations in every economic status, but if we follow your argument to its roots, that each level of economic welfare has the same level of utility to its members, you're arguing that h

This is a brilliant example, but even after reading the article, I feel like it needs a stronger connection to the problems of poverty. So, anyway, Guys, the situation where you're in a room where people are screaming is poverty, but its on

No, sudden unforeseen and expensive illnesses aren't that common. Sudden costs are. Costs don't even need to be unforseen, they just have to be more than you can deal with on a timescale.

You have entirely and completely missed the point. The point is that they are buying things that make their lives better. They aren't buying things that make themselves healthier, no, but they're buying things that make their lives bearabl

I am fairly sure that that's not a cure for AIDS. AIDS being a contagious disease, if you don't wipe it out, you haven't cured it, it isn't a disability in one person, but a plague on the population.

Sad life if your entire world consists of bare survival. Certianly worth revolt, of course, if your first life is a horror. But to then argue that anything other than that life is not worth struggle is a blatant denial of value of anything

Does it really count as alliteration with only two words?

In all fairness, even if someone is your boss, they are a piece of meat. Cause we're made of meat. Unless there's something you want to be telling us..

While the transformation was minor, the visual change was quite drastic, and moreover is an incredibly apt description of the album he created. IANAL, but for real, it looks a great deal like fair use to me.

I kinda take issue with any law that allows collection of evidence without a Warrant. If you're looking for evidence, you had better have enough cause to get a warrant from a judge. Else, that's witch-hunting.

I'll do it from home. Don't even have to provide an office! Course, what's it cost to buy someone in india an office and pay a wage?

Would you trust someone at minimum wage to do it? At the same time, FB makes lots of money per capita. They could hire a few grunt banhammer moderators.

I'm fairly certain that Google wasn't the first firm to think about, or employ, automation. They may have taken it to an extreme, but even so, its also ridiculous to call what is a facebook problem Google's fault. Google may have set an exa

I'm not convinced that's a default state of people. We may train ourselves to be that way, and we may have some level of inclination to such.. I'm wondering if we might not be better off if fairly frequently we do get exposed to the best ar

Maybe there's a hugely male, and young populance here, but I'd like to point out that theft isn't always the intent of home invaders, and that in a lot of cases, the really scary people want to get in without alerting you to it. This is inf

I'd much rather it be what it is..But that's a case of its incentives. Banks don't necessarily have the incentives of being any more user friendly than fits the needs to attract and keep customers, and they can use, to some degree, lockin a

I'm going to take issue with both of those comparisons. Standard Oil was only a dictating force in the economy for a short while, after it took over every other oil distribution company. Oil is a dictating force, the company was simply an o

Ma-Bell breakup? Standard Oil breakup? I fail to see how things like that never ever happen. It doesn't happen in quite the same way, but the fact is, anti-trust isn't antithesis to the American ideals. Allowing one company a position where

I'm interested in the tolerances on that 10 micron distance...if you could build an approximation that works most of the time with much less precision, then you might be able to make sale-able objects that do such...

No, you missed the point. A, or B, or C, If you posit that B or C are always true, you don't need A You only ever need one of the three.

Rather than instituting term limits, we could try what the founders set up, and arrange for senators to be representatives of state legislatures, not state populations. Same problem exists, but I'd imagine its harder to buy the backing of a

What I've been trying to express is not that this law in particular is nessisarily wrong, but that laws have no value beyond their place as instruments of our societal will.

There's a much deeper debate over abuse of copyright that I won't get into, but it seems to me that if we can say something like "despite what we all may wish" with any level of veracity, then you're in very shaky territory when making decl

On what basis do you justify laws which illegalize socially acceptable behaviors, and why do you start what people are entitled to at the law? Surely the law should follow society, rather than society following the law.

by Unseelie 15y ago
I think there's a strong argument to be made for the case that anything based on social is ephemeral. Facebook may be hiring a lot of engineers, but it is also, really very young, and networks change over time. There's a reason the post off
