in the case of unattributed information, i would think some edge cases risk lawsuits (libel or other things) or pr problems if the information is wrong. imdb was sued for revealing a person's age; and while imdb won the case, a law in

as i see it: "unbiased" is, if hearing is given to a position, it is either not represented with favor or disfavor, or any expressions of favor and disfavor are combined in such quantity that there is no obvious position with re

help what? is it a bad thing for reddit if other 'reddit clones' exist around certain worldviews?
279.
by abiox 9y ago
i'm not sure they should. perhaps they shouldn't.
280.
by abiox 9y ago
perhaps this is an opportunity to start their own services (seriously).

it's a reddit sub so i don't have any expectation, but fwiw, "balance" implies neither "unbiased" nor "objective".

"object oriented" can mean a wide variety of things. java isn't necessarily more object-oriented than other options. generally, i think when people say "oo", they're really just referring to nominal subtyping;

why not?

> Garbage collection by its nature implies dynamic allocation i'm not sure i follow - you're saying that a gc existing implies that one cannot preallocate and avoid dynamic allocation?
292.
by abiox 9y ago

by abiox 9y ago

a hyper-concrete alibi usually works (such as reliable documentation of being on a different continent), but everything else is just "absence of evidence" (not a clearing). unless "cleared" actually just means "insu
