My comment answered the vaccine shots (medical procedure). The one below mine answered the "destroy photos" - commercial use is different from incidental, personal, or news reporting in current consent laws. And that seems like

For myself, no. I've played naked ultimate frisbee points before and there are undoubtedly pictures of me naked doing ridiculous shit as part of college frisbee team hazing floating around the internet (or one of my former teammates h

I think it'd be reasonable to reduce the age of consent to kids who actually can consent. 18 is pretty arbitrary. I think it's pretty clear a 14 year old can consent to many things. A 10 or 8 year old can probably also offer pa

A pittance yes. But the record label were the ones who accepted their consent for a baby who ultimately couldn't consent - and the record label were the ones who then distributed the image and made a ton of money off of it. Just becaus

If you follow the link through to the New York Post interview that BBC article is based on, and then watch the actual interview, you can see he's pretty fucking conflicted about it even then. The recreations could easily be him trying

The last few paragraphs are quoting the company. My experience of labor disputes is that companies are often less than honest when engaged in them. I wouldn't trust their self reported records in this case. But also, it wouldn't

We did that last year. Pulled it out from the wall, twice. Sprayed it down completely with bleach. Let the bleach sit. Sprayed it down again. We had to spray down the walls as well, because each time it had already grown to the walls. A

Have you ever been through a high risk pregnancy? Especially one that comes after losses? There's a lot to deal with, a lot you are juggling, and a lot on your mind. And in our case, the mold on our old fridge only showed up again o

That's just the reality of our situation. We didn't procrastinate, we ordered it with plenty of time to spare. Our original delivery date was well ahead of our due date. They missed it, and our due date got moved up due to bein

It was a good point and valid concern. I was really hoping, they could use it to break both of us out of the trap. It didn't work. It's possible they didn't understand that's what I was trying to do. They were already

I was hoping he could use it as a bargaining chip with his supervisor and tried to make clear we'd leave him out of it. This was only after we were getting stonewalled and he was saying he wasn't allowed to escalate us. Edit: To b

Oh, good point. Completely forgot about that option. Thanks for that :)

We did, we are. We kept being offered tantalizing hope that they would resolve it. At least up until the last 36 hours when they started stonewalling. We also don't have an easy way to pick up a fridge (it won't fit in our car) a

While yes, "the internet" and "www" are different systems, the latter built on top of the former, in practice "the internet" and "www" are one in the same. When we're talking - culturally - abou

Find a way to better decentralize it, so that it doesn't rely on single hosts(and later sites) as the source of truth for any particular function. The original idea was that protocols would allow any one to participate by simply making

I think a lot of these problems would be solved by just adding an "Issues" tab alongside the "Projects" tab at the organization level - with all the features that go along with that (Milestones, labels). Then you could

Yeah, this is a completely false choice. The choices are not "let unregulated capitalism externalize all its harms or go back to a fuedal system". We have plenty of examples of modern production that doesn't externalize it

Personally, I really wish the Remarkable 2 would integrate with O'Reilly's new learning platform. I love having access to just about every tech book ever written, but I hate reading on a screen. The Remarkable is the perfect for

A racial construct has been used to shape every facet of our society and we can't make right those wrongs with out maintaining an awareness and understanding of that construct. We can't undo the historical (and current) harms of

One possibility is that they invest heavily in Teams and Jobs. Those two both solve problems that many teams really struggle with and would be willing to pay a premium for tools to help them solve: documentation and hiring.

Just for clarity's sake, the argument you're referring to is the "If we don't do it, others will" argument that Shell made, right?

Scientists have been talking about the need to draw down carbon emissions for DECADES. Four decades, in fact. We had a report just 3 years ago that gave us a very clear timeline for the need to draw down. If companies have failed to res

Conversely, if we have no way for the majority to hold a minority accountable for catastrophic harm done to the majority where does that leave us?

The missing component is the openness more than anything. That and having a central space to go for research. I agree that the crypto attached to this is really weird, and the fact that it seems to be a for-profit is less than ideal. But

I have dreamed of something like this for years. Except I gave it a cutesy name ( Peer Review) and I would have framed it as a combination of GitHub and Stack overflow intended to blow open scientific publishing and replace the journals by

I think it would still be a problem, but a lesser one. A loud minority can still influence a majority. But it's harder. The thing with direct democracy is that we'd really need to implement like a 20 hour work week to make it wo

Can confirm. I live in a large town/small city (80k people, 140k in the county with 30k commuting in to the city) and this is exactly how every issue goes. I've been organizing around climate and sustainability, housing (affordab
