So your definition would be "Everything someone does is good for them"? That reminds me of Austrian praxeology. Behavioral patterns that lead individuals away from their goals do exist. Such irrationality is what most of behaviora

A large part of corporate platform power is due to the ambiguity in decision making arising from the absence of clear and transparent processes or accountability regarding how the rules are applied. That's just a giant gateway for desp

I wonder who's more unethical: The guy who comes in, smashes your stuff and leaves or the guy who comes in, smashes your stuff and leaves a check for you at his place. I bet that's a common battle ground between consequentialists

I would love to know more about this definition. If doing my taxes were as exciting as my reading list I would get much more out of my paycheck.

This is wrong, since grandparent did not ask for passwords. Quote: > Email me to subscribe to my anti-spam service! This is precisely what haveibeenpwned asks for, as your parent wrote.

This is very wrong, assuming that the concept of academia is to have any scientific meaning. We can see it, for example, in the GDR, the former East of Germany where social sciences basically died. At the very same time, West-Germany develo

That's interesting. Do you have a source for that? I always believed it is because either FIDE ratings are only updated once a month (see 7.1[1]) or because their ELO is too close, therefore the prob. of winning is 0.5 for both anyways

Good question and I don't think I have a great answer. I personally believe that morality lies not in the document, but in the context it is created or displayed in. If, for example, the intention appears to me to be dishonest, exploit

As access to competing services gets heterogeneous, it's certainly bad for every potential competitor.

Centralized user names would also mean a single point of failure and authority which would defeat the main idea behind federation. It doesn't even solve the problem of owning you identifier as it is still externally controlled. Censors

I'm not working in the field, so I don't really have an idea on how the attitude in banking is towards cloud integration. I wonder: What is, from a banks perspective, the responsible solution here? An older MS Office or current MS

That's really a shame. One thing I'd suggest in addition to that: Find the account that posted it on Reddit and tell them to delete it. If the account doesn't comply, ask Reddit moderation to delete it. That'll save some

That's a very unlikely explanation. Newspapers do have a rather wide reach, especially compared with primary sources like the grandparent provided. This is because their content is not only designed to be shared, it's also promote

Parents point is valid in so far as that selling really is the wrong term for it. If Google sold the data, someone else would have it. That would not only be awful from a privacy perspective, it would be desasterous for business. It's

This is a honest question: how could banning radio shows from social media possibly be not meant to control discourse? Just imagine they do that with future political campaigns. That'd just be a sudden, corporate pre-approval process o

Ok but that's a bad thing, right? Unchecked corporate power to control public discourse was considered bad not long ago, wasn't it? Maybe I'm still stuck at the anti net neutrality mindset we had a while ago and can't fl

A political believe, even if violent in nature, is not the same as committing rape. It's not comparable since the one describes something you believe and the other something you have done. Rape comparisons should not be used as discuss
