Big brother? Do you have some sort of trust issues? I mean, sometimes I’m willing to trust other people, that’s all. I don’t have to believe that everyone is evil and out to get me. So when I read a newspaper I like I have a general trust t

… but that comment is then written as though every form of censorship is obviously immoral and bad which is self-evidently not true using this definition of censorship. Because according to this definition what an editor at a newspaper en

I don’t. I just accept that sometimes I just cannot know the absolute truth and that’s that. But I do have the ability to trust people and I know when I enjoy something. So, this all might sound very abstract, but I do know that I like the

Counterpoint: Censorship is awesome. It creates and shapes places that are just great and pleasant all around. Being an excellent censor is a great ability and there are sadly way too few out there who can give a clear voice (not in the sen

You are, again, confusing the issue, throwing in council and commission to the parliament. Also, some staunch nationalism. Yuck. Disgusting.

What? The European parliament is the clearest example of a democratic institution inside the EU. Commission and council have their elements of redirection, sure (i.e. it’s people appointed by people who were democratically elected … tho

Android phones have been a nightmare for me from a support point of view and for certain user groups Windows phones can – is my hypothesis – be a much, much more enjoyable experience. My dad has some Samsung Galaxy (probably a couple genera

Both screens have equal pixel densities and have 326 ppi (the larger screen has consequently more pixels). Where do you get your 290/302 ppi from? That’s just wrong. The display of the 38 mm watch (38 mm refers to the height of the who

Your doctrine would in practice massively disadvantage both women and kids because it asymmetrically sets up hurdles. The current way of dealing with things is kid-centered. Once a kid is there it needs to be taken care of and both parents

by arrrg 11y ago
This is about kids. If the kid exists both parents are responsible for it, no exceptions. That’s the overriding doctrine in the law. This is the basic doctrine I very much do support. Both parents are supposed to be equally responsible for

Safe havens are about saving babies’ lives, not their parents. Also, no one can force anyone into parenthood since, you know, it’s necessary to at least have sex for that. All the rest is a function of where the baby is actually growing.

The point was rather to give the fighting appropriate and effective political venues for resolving conflicts and finding effective solutions. There will never be no fighting because that is not possible or at least quite unhealthy. After al

A biological difference leads to different options for different genders. (The delineation isn’t even strictly along gender lines, though, since this only applies to people who can become pregnant. Most of those are women, sure, but many wo

This data is valuable but also slightly I'll-fitted for this purpose. How many relatively recently sold modern gasoline vehicles in a similar category to the Tesla catch on fire? That's the proper number for the comparison.

Not every space flight failure is the result of an explosion. The Progress vehicle did actually enter an orbit (it reached space and was circling the Earth for a couple days), just the wrong one and after that it spun out of control and was

They are stocked for months. As you can imagine, if your delivery mechanisms have a somewhat higher than usual risk of failure you don’t really go for just in time delivery. There are several ways of supplying the ISS, though the very relia

Neither you nor the person you are responding to probably has the requisite qualifications to actually tell … Judging something like this without relying on outside signals seems rather impossible and pointless if you are not, you know, an

Think of the eternal vastness of configuration spaces (even in domains as restricted as, say, static HTML/CSS pages) and then you know why AB testing is not a solution to everything. (Multivariate testing, too. It’s just slightly more

The zeal with which some people view free speech is really quite adorable. I don’t think it’s really so important. (It is important, sure, just not that important. And limiting free speech is certain a-ok with me, within limits.)

Mobbing? Are you serious with this hyperbole? Also, this is not some defenseless guy, caught by some camera on accident. Position of power, public role in that instance – and consequently also the responsibility that comes with that. You ac

Destroy someone? He still has his job, you know … I mean, what’s this non-sensical hyperbole disconnected from reality? What’s wrong with criticizing someone and saying that what he was doing is not ok?! I mean, what are you even talking ab

by arrrg 11y ago
What the fuck are you even talking about. You make no sense. And people are allowed to cricise people who are in very public places in obvious positions of power and who also act as role models. That comes with the job, you know. Sometimes

No, it was not, obviously. What a weird question to ask … as if that’s even something worth talking about.

Me, me, me, it’s only about me! That’s what you sound like – and that’s not what mutual respect looks like. Mutual respect means communicating with others and finding an ok solution for everybody, not wearing whatever the hell you want (and

Apple’s marketing materials use Myriad. It would make no sense to set their marketing materials in San Francisco. That would be totally inconsistent and weird. (Also, this is just a download page for people wanting to work with the font … n

The first one sounds like a very healthy attitude, or at least inoffensive. I’m not sure why you would think you would offend anyone with that? That said, people actually working for Apple do seem to put in a lot of (and consequently inevit
