I think you'd need to provide some evidence that by commercially funding a view you really don't like, support for that view is reduced. I would expect the opposite to be the case. Why do you think it would work?

This is absolutely true. The other thing to realise is that throughout human history there has always been some degree of grift. In a money driven system like US politics, especially so. Therefore, it has always been the case that the degre

A white supremacist killed someone at the weekend for protesting. If their free speech gives you supreme confidence , then you are simply wrong. The evidence is fresh. You will have free speech - as long as you only go to the right places

I think that's a great perspective as an individual, but the people making the decisions here are not the coders (they may have been, but it's not their job now). If you're running a team, and someone has a legitimate complai

First of all, if you know how Wikileaks operates, you know that as well as the leaks they generate content and opinions. They are not merely a funnel. Second, if they were trying to be just a funnel but realised that they were only getting

"Contribute to standards processes" and "don't roll your own" aren't moral arguments. They're complimentary pieces of practical advice on how to make trustworthy systems. Meanwhile your comments bury whate

Bottom line is, you don't. A modern society can bear the small burden this tiny slice of humanity represents; it's just immoral ones that decide they don't want to. If you're determined that there must be consequences fo

If her point is no different to complaining about fitting in at a school dance, which I think is true, then surely the better response here is to recognise the pattern - it's bad when people feel they cannot belong in an environment th

Design to me is a mix of art and science. This article is simple math. It's hard to take such a design philosophy seriously without any supporting evidence to explain why the human brain doesn't find some simple concepts intuitive: - Things

OK, so they're an insurance company, just like ebay. And Google isn't really a search company but an advertising one. So what? Your underlying premise seems to be that a responsible business model isn't viable. Is your argument that therefo

Many of Britain's citizens aren't too happy about free speech, either. But we try not to pay too much attention to them.

Nah. I got my invite from someone outside of the industry. She's a gmail user; I'd reckon that Google is (unlike many in the industry) smart enough to send their invites based on user data and not techie self-obsession.

When somebody directs "derogatory" remarks at themselves , it's called "self-deprecating". It's a good thing in many Western cultures at least, and demonstrates a degree of modesty. In this case, hp made it clear that he doesn't expect sym

On the other hand, I bet that same list of people would say that the credibility of the argument is more important than that of the person making it. Otherwise, you get either self-serving double standards or fawning hero worship (or both).

First you thought that if one culture has a particular trait, then it implies another cannot share the same trait. Then you changed your position 180º to maintain the same basic premise i.e. that the GP thinks in logical fallacies. But the

But let's not forget an important corollary: many people espousing such lists about how tough life is and the importance of self-reliance are in fact ripping you off, lining their own wallets, and flaunting the law until such a time as they
