The legality of stuff is something the is judged in a court of law against the laws emitted by the representatives of the people. From this things get complicated. Some stuff is obviously illegal and people know it. And other stuff some peo

Would you think that moderators are hiding evidence for murder threats by deleting posts?

I'm saying that Amazon is neither the police nor a judge. As a public company, their terms of service are as questionable as EULAs that no-one reads. I don't think (know) if they were ever tested in court. But it's about time

Illegal content is decided by courts

What you are saying is equivalent to "the state is incapable of defending our values so we make ourselves the police". What do you think that implies?

Death threats are punishable offenses under the law. _UNDER THE LAW_! Amazon is _not_ the LAW. Amazon is a public company like any other. They should report these actions to the police and they will investigate and take _legal_ action!

If gathering in public space is gone we have bigger problems than wifi not working.

You don't get to enter into debate and get away with 'disliking' other's argumentation!

The irony. You mean they did exactly what twitter does but on the right wing? They deserve to be digitally obliterated!!!!

Taken from The Book: "don't lend money to someone more powerful than you!". I would say this is a business failure. They should have prepared for that and they did not.

THz? That's interesting but seems hard to believe. Do you have some pointers?

by crististm 6y ago
That is not so strange. I've seen it in similar forms elsewhere. It basically means you don't actually know what's in a man's mind and if it's found that you protected a deceitful person you're worse than if yo

Is your standard portable to an arbitrary other country and arbitrary other timeline? Are there nuances to be observed or the process is applicable regardless of the context in which it is implemented?

There is a cost to society either way. Reviving a corrupted entity to allow it to continue must have a cost that needs to be weight against the perceived loss of its benefits.

"definitely"? Even if true, how do you know either way?

I understand it's just an example, but going from 500 to 50 million is enough to break your business if you're not paying attention to cash flow and invest too soon in production means.

Size should not matter. Just don't step in and bail them when they break under their own weight. Of course, when companies are large enough, shareholder's interests spin off into the regulator's domain, allowing interesting t

Exactly. The tail function in the second case is '+' not 'fac' so you can't replace the recursion with iteration

The contact-us is a box to speak into that would make you feel better that you did something when you hit 'send'. If you think you will achieve anything significant with it, think again. Imagine that _you_ are TI and you receive a

The classification system works, sort of. But... It comes a moment after going to the library a number of times when you realize that human knowledge is _not_ hierarchical, a tree - it is a graph. And then you understand why it is a monumen

Honestly, that came out wrong; I meant, _report_ what the society will see as unacceptable deviations (e.g the lies) not actually lie themselves.

by crististm 6y ago
shit; I meant, do you see a _saint_ in the mirror? Silly me!

by crististm 6y ago
WTF are you saying? " It's not the media's fault for taking action against these lies" The job of media is to report falsities not to take "actions" against them and assuming they know what's in people&#x2

That would work on the hypothesis that the internet mob is a rationale agent. That may not be so.

Feynman was that kind of guy. He pointed out a mistake he made during the Challenger investigation that the media took as "must be true because a Nobel prize winner says so".

True. The end result is that the merge of the two ends up in the dictionary. Perhaps it's time to update the definitions but I doubt that 'amphetamine' will be defined as slang for 'meth' when in fact 'meth&#x2

The relevancy to the debate is established by the meaning of the word. Which is a technical issue. Leaving the definition of a precise term to the whims of layman results in that we can't any longer say if we are talking about the sam

How can you tell he doesn't? I've read the same post and the semantics seem fine to me.
