You're right about convincing society, but American society has conflated vengeance with justice to the point that they may be inseparable concepts.

I've suffered some significant injustice at the hands of another, and for what it's worth their punishment has provided nothing for me. My experience has completely reversed my thinking about the way criminals are treated. Punishm

Right but on the other side, how many situations escalate because now they have an armed person with a few months of training on the scene. "Do we expect a social worker to protect a child from an abusive parent?" This already h

Their iPhone chips blow everything out of the water so this is exciting. Also adds more fuel to the merging of iOS/macOS.

My local police union has been called out multiple times for publishing racist things in their newsletter and literally nothing has come from it. They can openly publicize in print that they're racist and continue policing. They also

It's absurd that it's taken this much to have a national dialogue about how problematic the "social services with a gun" approach is.

Sure, but it's commonplace enough to be understood (roughly) as September-December without much thought... yeah? I've always lived in a 4-season bubble that uses Fall and Autumn interchangeably so maybe I'm wrong.

That's not true at all! We have little idea how or why it influences us outside of the basics (sell ads, make money). People are looking at these feeds, often daily, for a significant amount of time. We don't know if it's int

ISPs and telecoms are dangerous due to their level of control, but are significantly worse at using their data to influence the way you think. I strongly believe that the current political climate would be significantly more tepid if not fo

The logic is that you don't have to do business with organizations you don't like (outside of some very specific situations). If you think police need reform and cause harm, then ethically you get to decide for yourself if you&#x2

Why do people always look for hard and fast rules? If it's your business you can do what you want. No one's obligating you to do anything. In this case Slack's employees felt as though it's unethical. That's totally

Understandable that they don't want to take this on, it's a massive undertaking beyond a lot of consumer products. I do wish they could contract out some design or other manufacturers would consult with them. Reducing distraction
