Would you be OK with calling it a "partial Muslim ban"? While it's true that it doesn't ban all Muslims, it seems obvious that it was crafted to ensure that the vast majority of the people it banned would be Muslims.

Not if there is some inciting incident that coincided with conservatives gaining power, like, say, a partial Muslim ban. In that case it wouldn't be an attack on conservatism as an "identity" but against certain specific poli

Something very very bad is happening to our institutions. Resistance will be unpleasant and scary. Stay strong, stay close to your support system, and keep your eye on the ball.

When the grocery store is just five minutes away on foot, you don't have to shop for the whole week. It essentially acts as an extension of your cupboard/fridge/pantry.

Autopilot on planes still requires there to be human pilots for edge cases. I think everyone understands this, because everyone knows that there are still pilots on planes.

I see your point, but I don't agree with it. I think it leans far too heavily on the specific technical details of the web while remaining blind to the higher level reality of the situation. Put another way, I don't believe the sp

> They aren't attempting deceit through their actions. You don't think so? Isn't the whole point of this extension to try and trick advertisers into paying for non-existent user engagement?

Seems like point 1 would not be satisfied, because you are actually clicking the ad. I suppose someone could argue that you're still deceiving them about your intent but it seems like quite a stretch.

No need for personal attacks. While the analogy (like all analogies) is an imperfect one, there are clearly some parallels between the two situations and I think the comparison is interesting. It's purpose is to get you to look at thin

So if your friend tells you he's hard up for rent and you loan him 1000 dollars he can decide not to pay you back and it "has nothin to do with morality"? After all, you were aware of the risk that he wouldn't pay you ba

Sure, maybe he was planning to win the lottery when the payment came due. The question to me is, do you think he took and spent the money with the expectation that he would be able to pay it back? Seems pretty obvious the answer is no. No

They changed the UX, you now drag the pin after setting your general location and choosing your destination. I think this is because they want to suggest more efficient pickup locations instead of just wherever you happen to be standing. Fe

Interesting to compare the reactions to this with the prevailing attitudes about cable bundling. "Stop nickel-and-dime-ing me!" "Stop making me pay for things I don't want!"

Five years ago if I wanted to hire a car to pick me and up and take me somewhere I had to call a taxi company and pray that someone would show up 90 minutes later. Now I hit a button and someone is at my door in ~5 minutes.
