Your opinion is perfectly justified and certainly not harming anyone, no need to apologize for it!

But the _spirit_ of social media is to publicly share information for specific types of social interactions. I have always felt that examples like job recruiters researching applicants' facebook content is morally corrupt, although I d

Looks very polished, but turned off by the download procedure and the fact that they only provide access to minified/obfuscated JS. I would argue that requiring my email address to download = not free.

> Even flushing a toilet or filling a car’s gas tank would be impossible. Huh? Is she trying to say those systems will also fail as a result of losing the electric power grid, or something else?

I tend to agree with you. Although I also don't have any hard evidence, it seems to me that growing up in the 80's, there was far less parental supervision of kids then there is now. In the summertime during school break, even as

Not at all. My point is that it is disingenuous to treat laws as if they are mathematical equations.

Nice sleuthing! I'm inclined to agree with your assessment about content marketing campaigns being regurgitated over time. Seems they are explicitly choosing to not show the article date in an effort to get more traffic.

Sounds like the Cobra Effect just waiting to happen. Besides, if the positions pay well there will be plenty of other candidates willing step in. There is no shortage of examples showing that morals are often secondary to money.

Pet peeve: tech articles/blogs which do not prominently display when the article was written. This is the single most important fact I search for before reading time sensitive tech info. I can't tell when this was written, am I mi

Many politicians still believe that secret backdoors are the silver bullet to the encryption "problem", after how many experts keep saying security and backdoors are incompatible? I don't believe it's nearly as black-and

I can see your point for calling straw man, but you seem to be implying this was their only argument. My takeaway was that the primary arguments centered more around controlling competition to secure monopolistic positions, threatening legi

Absolutely. Another great example - I used to think that Hollywood forgot how to make good movies, but now realize it's much more specific to the timing of my coming of age. There were certain movies from the mid 80s that were so power
