I've been fighting against governments violating human rights for a while and I have to say: I didn't know what to do then, and I don't know what to do now.

I agree with you in general, but I think you're missing a subset of users who can keep up with smaller incremental changes but specifically don't, which over time can eventually make them feel lost. This describes my relationshi

This exactly. But to be honest, maybe this is an opportunity to create some kind of maturity level standard, where content shouldn't be above a set threshold, regardless of source. On YouTube For Kids, it would be lower than regular Yo

I sympathize but wasn't that an advertisement targeted at you specifically? Meaning, the platform didn't know you were with your child. Should targeted ads change their age appropriateness with the content of the viewed material?

Delegating privacy rights feels like delegating monetary rights. As in, negotiating contracts for payments. This is coming from the perspective of a simple person trying to understand this complexity. Anytime I sign complex and impactful co

Maybe we should differentiate "users understand and don't care" against "users don't understand and don't care". On one hand, a TOS usually describes privacy implications. On the other hand, there's n

I think when people come across extra funds they just use it to upgrade their life. Maybe they buy the nicer soft drink and snack, they spend more time at the bar with friends, they decide to buy audio equipment or another computer monitor,

I say "assuming" because many times I'm communicating with people who don't necessarily believe in evolution, and I'd rather not derail my thought experiment with an argument over whether evolution is real. Instead

If there's no market, how can you buy or sell a home? Why should I not invest in my property?

Every once in a while I'll ask people this question: assuming evolution is true, which species do you think will evolve next?

Honestly, not an unreasonable thought.

Whenever I hear people describe non-physical confrontation as "violence", my only thought is that they have no idea what real violence is. The tech echo-chamber is fostering unrealistic opinions about life and liberty.

I see what you mean. I've been moving quite a bit last few years, and the biggest factor that's prevented me from moving into a shared living spaces is my physical belongings. It's difficult moving a small apartment worth of

What do you mean they don't want it? Because there's something lacking?

I disagree with this, I think high cost of living has a lot to do with people's inability to take care of themselves. Drugs aren't necessarily the avenue people take to become homeless, but when you do become homeless your peers b

There was a local pan-handling couple who was outted on local TV for "scamming people". They were seen shopping at expensive grocery stores and driving with their car. Apparently begging was just their job and made more than a few

I disagree. At the cutting edge of development, experiments and failure is impossible the avoid without incredible and expensive measures, which, you know, isn't exactly feasible in every case.
