Hanging a comment here, not directly replying. Indeed. I see things like this: https://www.theguardian.com/global-development/2026/jan/27/i... Where the current Iranian government is slaughtering its ow

That's the starting point? That's what we document as acceptable? Better to document risk, than lie to brave volunteers. And they knew the risk, and wanted to go. So I see zero issues here.

Clarity, I see I wrote tractor above once. Here lawn mowers are often called lawn tractors.

It really depends on the size of the unit I think. When you get over 50", it seems to me you can really tell 480p vs 1080p, especially if you watch lots of 2160p content. If your TV is under 50", I don't think you'd not

Having equity doesn't mean they can buy it, and regardless, that doesn't mean Visa/MC will work for free, or the banks/payment processors. Too many charge backs from an account, and that's the result. It's unc

Tractor? The comment I am replying to was for a lawn mower.

Yes, exactly.

This is where small claims court can have a HUGE impact. Where I live, in small claims: * Lawyers are not allowed * There is no forced discovery. Sue John Deere, and they cannot ask for endless documents * There is no way to assign costs o

There's a misunderstanding here. I'll make it clearer. The "Unless you're big cheese" is the company you're doing the charge back against. If a company, such as Anthropic has too many chargebacks? Visa/M

Unless you're big cheese, too many disputes can get a company cut off. Disputes aren't free to mediate, there's a cost to handle each one. Visa/MC can block a company, happens for lots of reasons.

And yet you have not even remotely addressed how this translates to every US government job being a morally / ethically bankrupt job . You wave your hands about, and cite far flung examples of how it could be, then there is not here

Nobody said Trump is literally Hitler. But literal Hitler did exist, so it all becomes a question of where do you personally draw the line?. For you, it seems to be somewhere between Trump and Hitler. For me, it's somewhere before Tru

> To paint every job which requires a clearance as morally bankrupt, to paint working for the government to be morally bankrupt, is frankly disgusting. Sometimes you don't know the exact nature of the task until after you've g

First, referencing "Nazi" has an age old tradition of immediately meaning you lose the debate. That's back to old Usenet and mailing list ethics. Regardless, absolutely, yes, I would take a job in Nazi Germany which required

It's contextual though, and pragmatic seems different to me than correct. For example, if you have $20 and a leaking roof, a $20 bucket of tar may be the pragmatic fix. Temporary but doable. Some might say it is not the correct way to

If you can't trust a company, don't use their api or cloud services. No amount of external output will ever validate anything, ever. You never know what's really happening, just because you see some text they sent you.

even if you lack sufficient scruples to be willing to pursue it in the first place. What an absurd thing to say. As a Canuck, I may even spend some days wondering if I'll have to defend my country from the US, but I can clearly see

This is what the internet used to be about, just people ... connecting with people, without all the hassle of big business in the way.

Yes, imagine being in breach of contract if you apply for a mortgage, and they ask "What do you do" and "How much do you make a year" and "Can we see a pay stub (or income tax info)". Such clauses are inane bey

If humans can prove that bespoke human code brings value, it'll stick around. Value to who, and which type of value? Will that defining value be purely economic in nature? While it be purely defined by mega-corps, and their percepti

While the example your provide is reasonable fair, the comparison is not. For it to be fair comparison, the carrots would have to be grown by a foreign company, known for using unsafe growing practices, causing contamination. Eg, poison ca

Worse, soon fewer and fewer people will taste good food, including even higher and higher scale restaurants just using pre-made. As fewer know what good food tastes like, the entire market will enshitify towards lower and lower calibre food

The burden of proof is predicated upon a well established economic terms. You want to refute those century+ old definitions? Alter them? Then yes, you have to start the dance. And work at it. And convince the entire planet to change.

Yes, that's why I specifically mentioned it. If the best data you have is conjoined, then you must either figure it out, or ignore it. Do you know what percentage, exactly, are retired vs "giving uo"? No? Then when someone sa

Same issue in my country with employment rates. Yes, some of those have been looking for work for so long that they slide from looking to "not looking" automatically. However at the same time, some of those people actually don&
