I wasn't saying that you're obligated to look at ads. I said that if you want to use someone else's servers AND want to block ads, you're going to end up in a technical war. You said "there is no war", but obvi

But if your usage of your computer that you bought depends on their servers, it seems they would have some sort of say in how you use it. That is, they can negotiate with you using your desire to access their servers as leverage. You can re

This is going to keep happening. While I respect a project maintainers right to decide to what extent language should be policed in their own project, the pragmatic thing to do is probably just quietly merge.

They aren't talking about blocking the torrent protocol. A rights-holder watches a torrent swarm for one of their copyrighted works and records the IP of people who are sharing it. They then contact your ISP (just asking nicely) tellin

Argument #1 (the seven ways thing) seems like a red herring, since I would guess it's vanishingly rare compared to splitting 6 or fewer ways. #2 isn't very convincing on it's own. Your inconvenience is not the customer's

People resent being regulated, even if that regulation has no practical effect on their behavior. Most people who are nice are nice because they choose to be. Having someone come in and tell you "you better be nice or else" is kin

Maybe it's just my American blinders, but I don't see how "you can get arrested for driving with an open container of alcohol" is particularly repressive.

I'm totally in favor of this type of solution. The go-to justification around here is "it's my computer, I'll use it to display anything I want, just because you served me data over HTTP doesn't give you the right

I have no opinion on this particular case, but I strongly disagree with the broader point you're making (which seems to be that commerce exists outside of the realm of ethics and that 'anything goes'). If a shopkeeper is dist

This seems at odds with the conventional wisdom around here RE: adblock. You're simply requesting bytes from a server, what your computer does with them is up to you (and therefore your responsibility). You should probably configure

That perception seems necessarily incorrect to me, since the Master is defending himself directly against accusations from the students. Sea Lioning, as I understand it, refers to a person derailing a discussion to which they are not a dir

Do you think it would be difficult to find credible anecdotes of Amazon employees having positive experiences?

Not for me. Work is interesting. Attempting to build some dogmatic hierarchy of which things are OK to talk about is silly.

"Likely due to" seems like an overstatement. That is, the implied claim: "WPV1 would be likely be eradicated right now if not for the hunt for Osama Bin Laden" does not ring true.

Disagree about a lack of improvements. Some recent ones I'm a fan of: better handling of multimedia, better "quote tweet", polls, engagement metrics, and a bunch of UI improvements.

Weird, in my experience Uber customer service is very responsive. Never used Lyft CS but friends report the same for them. Can you share some examples of the "no end of people" you refer to?
