Gov shouldn't even be involved then except insofar as it is necessary to establish the rule of law. Lawyers and courts can resolve those deal disagreements. If a buyer owes the seller money that's the seller's problem. (in

yeah but being cast out of your tribe got you killed. It's why shame is so painful to feel.

I guess I care. My wife and I go to the movies almost every week during Oscar season: we love movies, and this year had an absolute ton of good ones. (And plenty of the low-effort formula films, too)

It's interesting that they're spending $50/mo on a shitty website. I wonder if they'd be happy with a static site with their location, hours, and contact info (something to prove to millennials that they exist) for goog

At the ABET accredited engineering school I attended, we were all required to take both an engineering ethics class, and more specifically a computer ethics + law class (for those of us in the CECS track). Computer Engineer here.

Film Buff in the making here: there's a lot of fast-food movies out there, but there's also still a lot of art being made. Maybe your local theaters stopped showing indie releases? Maybe you eventually saw so many movies that &#x

I think the movie Nightcrawler(2014) really nailed that creepy feeling I get from TV News. There's an aura of desperation, of lowest-common-denominator, hits-you-in-the-amygdala kinds of coverage. " Nina: We find our viewers are

I feel like issue number one is being given the naturalistic fallacy treatment. If animals can react to falling objects, so can computer models. There's nothing magical about instincts.

Seems like I mistook what you represented and attacked what I thought you were. Text is a bad place for casting stones like I did. I don't know about gradualism. You seem to have a better eye on the strategy than me, so I'll tak

So instead of changing the tax code to be more specific (change the marriage tax benefits to child-rearing benefits) you're proposing we deny one of humanity's oldest and most important rituals (which means a lot to people intrins

I know it misses the point: but Noam Chomsky didn't get his professorship by being a social critic, I think it's more of a hobby for him. I believe MIT thinks him worthy of tenure due to his expertise and innovation in the field

How is this getting down-voted? Dude seems 100% toxic, keeping him around is only going to poison the community further. Is there something the HN community identifies with in this man?

Not the GP, but I believe jeffdavis is referring to the naturalistic fallacy: wherein an appeal to nature is made as a way of arguing a point (e.g. vanilla extract is better than synthetic vanillin, even though it's the same molecule).

I believe what's made NPR unlistenable is that you've decided a particular vocal affectation is objectively bad and annoying, so you notice it more and let the concept bother you. Personally, I can't help but smirk any time
