I wonder how one would establish a calculus of intent in such a situation? It would have to be established that the accused was fully intent on the end goal and was of the belief that the steps taken would facilitate achieving that end goal

This is less like a drug or prostitution sting where the mark is arrested before the contraband can be consumed, and more like a hired hitman sting where the victim is actually murdered. From a moral point of view, Child pornography is de-o

The FBI certainly didn't catch the creators and distributors of the original content because those people operate as professional criminals. The sting may affect their revenue stream by scaring off consumers who were under the illusion

Momentum is the immediate problem, not large mass. Fatality due to large mass tends to take a little while longer.

The article states that stalling the suit is the primary reason for novice fatalities. As the sport becomes more popular, the majority of new practitioners will be novices making mistakes that an experienced jumper would not make.

They could practice stalling via jumps from an airplane to get a feel for the limits of a wingsuit. As the article states, wingsuiting should be the last stage in a progression which begins with skydiving, not the first. Beginners are takin

This seems to be the key paragraph: "Most beginners who die appear to be making variations of the exact same error, according to Webb. “They jump off a cliff, get flying, and for some reason there's just this human reaction to try

Poor reporting, or more likely, poor editing. The article has been compressed to the point where it fails to convey important distinctions clearly. It takes some attentive re-reading to discover that the presence of identical system calls i

I agree that it is wholly immoral to make such a law, yet it was done and led to the subprime mortgage crisis. Others on this thread have supported this law on the grounds of social justice, despite the consequences being inevitable, obviou

I was not proposing such legislation, but condemning it on the grounds that such laws amounted to social engineering, an overreach that preempted and violated individual decision making. I am well aware of the inevitable consequences of suc

It would be interesting to create a tool with the opposite functionality which would take writing in one's own idiosyncratic style as input, and output writing in a more generic style. Better still if it improved composition and presen

Sorry. I ought to have been more specific. I was referring to making a law that made it compulsory to lend to an individual even if it was clear from assessing that particular individual that their likelihood of defaulting was unacceptably

That is true, but there are similarities. The American lenders went beyond simple 'reckless lending' by disguising the subprime loans as healthy assets. This is similar to what the Irish bankers did when they created fictitious as

Your stated position is deeply troublesome in terms of both de-ontological and consequentialist moral reasoning. In the first case, it raises the question of how one can possibly have the right to attempt social engineering on such a scale,

While Amazon does clearly state under the heading you gave that they do track commingled inventory, they do not explain how. It is still possible that doing so presents a 'massive problem' as the previous comment, apparently from

This is disturbing. The term 'extremist' has changed from its original meaning denoting someone who advocates or engages in violent action in pursuit of a political cause. Of late, it can be used merely to refer to someone whose v
