Yes, exactly. Whether one agrees with Heinlein's views or not, his work should likely be put in context. Heinlein's interviews are a good place for that context.

It's funny, I have the opposite perspective. For me, I think design, or brainstorming, is best done independently after long periods of time of thinking unconsciously about the problem.

Exactly. Essentially, there are a lot of frauds in the industry.

And out of all this, by far the most unethical thing Nintendo has ever done is refuse to release an English-language translation of Mother 3. I'll never forgive them for this, and I decided long ago I'll never buy another one of t

You can, absolutely. A lottery system for admissions.

I'm having a hard time understanding your argument. Are you saying that ultima online, lineage, and everquest were bad? Like, some of the most memorable, and fundamentally important games in history? What exactly do you mean by "s

I didn't say that. What you've said here is a straw man

It's called a conflict of interest, and anyone who has a conflict of interest in a given business situation should absolutely be removed from making any decisions around that conflict of interest (and they should be more than forthcom

Certainly true, he'd probably be an IWW member and certainly deeply anti-Trump. Similar to Noam Chomsky

I'm very proud of the international community. Wars of conquest/aggression should be universally opposed and sanctioned. It's one of the key components to a peaceful future for us on earth. I wish the best for the future of t

Virtually every computer science course in the UC system beyond the intro courses teach methods of critical thinking that transcend individual programming languages. The theory of computation course I took two decades ago was fundamental to

What matters far more than freshly ground is freshly roasted (<1 month, > a few days) and grind size for the type of coffee

It depends what you mean by radioactivity. There are particles that rarely ever interact with matter, like the neutrinos, and are virtually impossible to detect except in highly sensitive experimental conditions.

This reminds me of a great quote: "There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect"[1] 1. https://www.bradford-delong.com/2018/12&#

Without question, you should strongly refuse to do unethical work you disagree with. Never compromise your ethics for a paycheck. It's absurdly easy to find employment as a software engineer.

Agree; DO NOT make any changes to your sleep outside of medical advice. See a sleep doctor if you don't feel well rested when you wake up.

Seems like QR code readers automatically opening URIs is a great way to trigger CSRF attacks in vulnerable sites

How is sugar and processed/empty calories a "western" thing? What do you mean by "west"?

Yep, and that's why fraudsters should spend decades in prison

If I'm hearing you right, your belief is that law enforcement is not enforcing the current hacking laws that exist evenly. I'd like to understand this belief of yours. Who are they discriminating against?

Most giants I've met never make a name for themselves and prefer it that way.

What sort of laws would you support against people that hack websites like this?
715.
by beebmam 5y ago
Isn't this a whataboutist argument? It's a logical fallacy
716.
by beebmam 5y ago
Are there any laws that you would support to stop hackers from doing harm to others on the internet?

Do you think platform companies, like reddit, should be legally able to shape (create, remove, modify) content that is on their platforms at will?

They're not even remotely priced at the magnitude to eat the whole planet. And yet, their market IS eating the entire world (except China, due to insular political reasons). That points to me like they're significantly undervalu

I wouldn't presume causation in that direction. It could be that participation and solidarity leads to strong social safety net and egalitarian policies. Or maybe there are other causes of both

It matters that the Chinese government is actively trying to prevent any third-party investigation into the origins of the SARS-CoV-2 virus
