Totally agree. I don't think that tradeoff is particularly out-balanced by the time it takes to do manual memory management.

I meant that for existing works of art that are easily digitized (not created, taken from a physical format to a digital one), there is no such thing as scarcity if the consumers don't strongly prefer the physical version to the digita

>There is value in scarcity I'd argue that for easily digitized works, there's no such thing as scarcity. Certainly publishers have the right to sue and limit legal distribution, but it does seem at least naive for them to be

How does that address the comment you replied to, in any way? Other people might want prisoners to be raped and smeared with feces, but that doesn't at all make it acceptable. Some people would be all-aboard genocides against certain

I don't understand what's meant by on-phone, but the google feature asks the caller to introduce themselves and why they're calling, and transcribes the response for the user to read in realtime. I use it for every number I d

After a few decades of no enforcement? I think that would be reasonable.

And the cases where a partner didn't disclose their status, or didn't know that they were contagious, or they hit the shitty jackpot and were infected despite best-effort and best-practice measures?

How do you separate those who contracted HIV through risky (however you define that) behavior from those who didn't?

How do you separate the HIV+ people that engaged in 'risky' (by whatever definition you apply) behavior from those who didn't?

At some point, you have to have hard lines. It's entirely reasonable to dictate what a sexual partner gets to do with and to your body. >can't tell you how many times I've been pressured or refused or looked down upon for

This isn't competition. Competition is two stores offering incentives to users to come buy the product from them as opposed to the competitor. This is anti-competitive and anti-consumer. If Steam were doing similar things, no one woul

That's my point. The value is in the discussion around what's considered ethical, not in the label. What I would like is for services like this to provide, up-front, a more complete discussion of how they've arrived at their

This is really frustrating, and basically the exact same thread as happened a while back with another list of "ethical alternatives". You can't call something ethical without going into detail about what you mean. and: Polic

A glorified javascript wrapper around what? Looking over the feature list...none of them are things that are natively supported in ECMAScript or widely-supported browser standards.

"asked" being operative there. The college can absolutely say "either observe the quarantine or get off campus".

They do quarantine people for the flu. Happened during my undergrad; they kept a few students with the swine flu in their rooms. Had meals and supplies brought to them and asked them to not leave.

I don't understand the thought process that a content host has an inherent obligation to equally promote all the content hosted on their service. It's a very anti-consumer and anti-capitalism position, and I hear it most often fro

Exactly, that was my point. There are no self-driving cars on the market, or in development by major car manufacturers. They all explicitly require human attention.

by cblades 8y ago
I'd argue it is unreasonable given that (afaik) no one is marketing a self-driving car that doesn't also require a driver be attentive at all times. You can learn to drive a self-driving car defensively, in the same way you lear

Every one of your comparisons is bunk. Ethics are necessarily a consensus-building endeavor. Your personal ethics only matter in-so-far as they intersect with others'. None of your examples are subject to that same constraint. >Cu

Also, taking a snarky, passive-agressive tone to people making legitimate criticisms makes me not trust the list at all. By saying "this is ethical, that is not", you are assuming a position that must be defended. edit: I am con
