i believe they were refering to the part in the previous post that said "a logical fallacy". to be a logical fallacy requires that something be used in a logical construction (hence the name). this is where "justify" h

i don't entirely disagree with some aspects of such a cultural critique, but i don't think such things are all that differentiating. you really don't believe that there isn't some moral equivalent of say, the kardashian

i suspect it's because nest is a bit of a (niche) data play. i don't necessarily care that much about that, but i do want such a product to work perfectly fine whether there's a connection to their servers or not.

this is interesting heuristic guidance on taxes, but this doesn't describe labor or contract law, as far as i can tell. your link even notes: > There is no “magic” or set number of factors that “makes” the worker an employee or an i

i don't agree with your definition of contracting, but either way i'm particularly interested if you can point to some legal code that forbids a contract from containing a "no subcontracting" clause. that would be quite

i find it fascinating how bizarrely hostile to a company developing a new font some people are. it's just branding and identity, like logos, color schemes and design languages. not really a big deal. but holy smokes do people talk a

i'm not sure what you mean. do you have some reference to point to that says a "contractor" can't be expected to not sub-contract or work in a particular place and time? i'm honestly curious.
102.
by abiox 8y ago
do you have specific citations or is this some ideological stance? to me it makes zero sense to hire a vetted contractor who can then just toss say, classified data, over to some unknown random. it's a completely untenable proposition

sure, and understanding the category distinctions and how each person applies them leads being able to address things like wilsonnb's comment "That seems like a strange stance to take."

the "concept of ownership" is a bit too reductive given the contextual differences at play, because the context directly impacts practical matters like harm, customer autonomy, etc.

by abiox 8y ago
what do you mean? this seems like a strange statement, given the context.

i didn't see anything like that. possibly a mathjax.org hiccup?

i think one fundamental problem is that for most ecosystems, versioning is almost entirely arbitrary, manual and dissociated from language semantics. the elm package manager seems to take a step in the right direction where changing a funct

this comparison isn't particularly interesting, because you're comparing dissimilar things. a leased car is a physical item that has inherent costs in manufacturing and distribution. bits have asymptotically zero cost there. a

virtual and physical items are rather distinct in nature, and comparing them is often useless.

i remember seeing that a while back, but at the time it had a weird bespoke license and the main developer seemed to have a... strong personality. it might be worth checking out again to see what's new.

the problem with this sentiment is what "one" and "two" imply. it's possible to refer/block/whatever multiple addresses with "one" action.
