So, I can see one obvious issue here. How do you know that what they say about their steel's carbon load is true? This goes double as they're incentivized to lie to you, you have minimal control over what happens in their country

People care tons about their kids -> Working hard and creating value results in a larger inheritance for their kids -> Exploit biological desires to protect offspring to get yourself to be more productive?

Then normalise for crime rates. Ah, the wonders of slicing and dicing a dataset.

You have democracy in your capitalism already, that's what your elected government and their regulations are.

Sounds like those exchanges are going to have devalued bitcoins then. Due to the traceability of bitcoin, I wouldn't be surprised if receiving coin from blacklisted addresses and then not removing it becomes something that gets your wa

Well, proper procedure here would be to flag the post then. Thanks for clarifying on this clickbait.

Simple. Assuming that unarmed shooting rate is a proportion of police calls, more crime directly results on more calls and thus more shootings.

Sure you can. The issues with the Anglo way is that they've gone all the way to the other end with flat, wide buildings. Increasing verticality is a simple way to get more density without sacrificing area. At some point, yes, you'

To their credit, they don't exactly censor anything. The entire voldemorting of the word is one of the more inane things about PC culture. That PC culture cares primarily about black targeted insults doesn't really say much about

They also have americunts and amerifats if that makes you feel any better.

I'll say this though. The answer to the first one is no, at least on a higher level. Most purple pursue things for their own self interest. Who would invest so much time, resources and effort solely for others gain. They might be great

So, people will dump in the billions of dollars of investment developing drugs and getting them past human trials, only to have them immediately be stolen? Removal of IP here means that you've enforced a penalty against innovators and

No, but also useless. You wanting Facebook to die as your primary motive gives your opinion zero, if not negative value as far as decisions on Facebook would go.

by esyir 6y ago
Agreed, this isn't any principled approach. This is "I want Facebook to enforce my own personal value set", even if it goes against local value sets.

You seem to have missed the point of the up vote requirement for downvotes though. It exists to restrict downvotes to those who are more active, and thus more "invested?". I believe that this was a very deliberately chosen barrier

The trolley problem situation seems pretty straightforward under utilitarianism if you add probability into it, I've never found the "what if one of the 3/4/5 could have been Hitler?" argument particularly convincin

I'm fully aware of that. I also think it's something unfortunate that we have to figure out a way to route around. We should choose a system that gives one guy a billion dollars and everyone else a million, if the alternative is o

Key word here being "working". The market is literally hindered here by said government. The natural response to high demand for housing would be more housing and higher density housing. Zoning laws do a fantastic job of hammering

As of 2021, the year of the linux desktop still ain't here. PC users still choose windows over linux now, and this is after god know how many enhancements. In the 2000s, getting linux to work with wifi was a mess of command line comman

Dammit, mixed up clients, and this one has no edit feature somehow. Unless I'm mistaken, UVA is literally trying to argue that offensive speech isn't protected? From what I understand, as a public university, UVA is required to u

Sure, let's start with a million and go from there. Why would they want to go bigger? Money, that's why. If someone was repeating that in a public space, we probably wouldn't, but if he had a series of megaphones screaming th

On an aside, overly literal readings are imo an example of blatant strawmanning; rather than dealing with the crux of an argument or statement, instead revoke a technicality and consider it settled.

Didn't said righty social media properties literally have to face existential threats like getting multiple hosting providers drop them? Moreover, this is only something that's fine if you accept ceding control of the vast majorit

With the way that things go, I won't go as far as to nationalise them, but I'd rather regulate them in ways that maintain said "public squares" Somewhere in between, communication is far too critical for private monopoli

You call it bullying, I call it ineffective posturing and pretending to get things done. Feels to me like a song and dance to placate the voters while not actually doing anything with impact.

It most definitely is not, especially if you take the surrounding text, rather than the cherry picked except.

Sure, 1 million users. You're free to quibble with the specifics, but there's your magical mark.
