So to be clear, you want to force a private company to do business with someone? How is this any different from a store having a “no shirt, no shoes, no service” sign?

This comment makes it sound like AWS controls web hosting for the entire planet. There are literally thousands of web hosting options; Parler can go find a different one.

Hillary conceded less than a day after polls closed. A few House members filed complaints during the 2016 electoral count with no Senate support and Biden got the whole counting process over in about a half hour. I understand the point you’

The only way to bring a lawsuit is for an action to occur that triggers the suit. Otherwise, there is no breach of contract to sue over. If Parler believes they have a case against Amazon, they are able to file a lawsuit. That said, Parler

Your choice of clipping that sentence is incredibly disingenuous. The actual quote is “This suggests that the overall clinical consequences of Covid-19 may ultimately be more akin to those of a severe seasonal influenza (which has a case

The part of that most people, including you, seen to miss is that this goes way beyond those sick with the virus. The strain this virus is putting on healthcare is unlike anything the flu does in any given year, even during epidemics in the

There doesn’t need to be in-built value in human life for it to be valuable. As a species and society, we have chosen to value life and put rules in place to protect it. I find it inspiring that our species decided that, not a deity. For wh

Why would you choose to single out Protestant mega churches and not Catholic churches? This bias seems awfully self-serving.

They aren’t testing most people with symptoms. No way will they start testing random people without.

Anyone with a six-figure sale is nearly certain to end up owing more than they withhold (assuming you sell, which you probably should). If a company hasn't IPO'ed, an 83(b) election may also make sense.

The Agile you describe is neither the agile I practice nor the one advocated for by sophisticated software development organizations who understand productivity and effectiveness. The things you describe as “software engineering” are part o

For one, they provide jobs for more than 150,000 people, not including contractors and vendors. Would you prefer those people all land on unemployment overnight? The people who did this should be punished, sure, but that shouldn’t make all

It doesn’t seem that shocking to me that teenagers and young adults spend more time in shopping malls than people who are in there 20s and 30s.

It wasn’t even a fork. They mirrored a binary he’d released as a test build because it was more bug-free than the prior official build. He’s upset because he didn’t like that.

I’m pretty comfortable tipping via credit card because I understand that the card company and a bank is taking a cut. I am _not_ comfortable with something like this, where it’s not immediately clear what’s happening.

Nostalgia is powerful, certainly. I’m sure it’s in play whenever I hear arguments like this.

The line about US pharma research providing a free ride to other countries is exactly what the pharma lobby wants everyone to think. Meanwhile, they’ve enjoyed record profits leading to huge stock buyback programs and easily capture the maj

Consumer expectations of scope, game length, release time tables, DLC, etc. have made this an impossibility.

I think you’d be surprised, honestly. Lots of people put hundreds of hours into games like Battlefront 2, Destiny 2, World of Warcraft, etc all while screaming at the top of their lungs about the good old days and how awful it is now. Meanw

If you’re a casual player, I get it. To contrast, Destiny 2 originally launched with casual players in mind, resulting in casual players becoming less of a vocal audience after the first month or two (like you’d expect for most games) while

It was a beta. For all we know, they decided to switch DRM protection formats or make other sweeping changes in the months since the beta build was originally forked. I don’t think it’s unreasonable for them to say “sorry, this beta must be

That’s not necessarily true. If a new item introduces a new perk/mechanic/effect, adding the triggers for said effect may have wide-reaching effects. Texture files are often bundled as large bitmaps with dozens or hundreds of text

People want “games as a service”-level updates without having having to download big patches. Or they get upset that a patch comes out every week or so. There’s really no winning.
