I think your comment is thoughtful and well-intentioned, but I find myself wondering about the seemingly egalitarian nature of it. May I ask if are you saying that if I wanted to feed poor people, you would want to see me thwarted, unless I

Sorry, my mistake. It's a mid-2012 MacBook Pro. 16GB DDR and 512GB SSD. http://support.apple.com/kb/SP694

With respect, is there evidence to support your claim? My direct experience is that I have received value far in excess of what I have had to pay for the Apple products and services I have purchased over the years. For example, I'm typ

I remember playing this game as well, many, many years ago. If memory serves, I was playing it on thermal printer that eventually became the TI "Silent 700" series. I believe the program was written in what was called "Super

With respect, are you assuming that criminal behavior is also necessarily immoral behavior? I am glad to see services like Uber and AirBnB available. How do you see it?

I think your comment is a good one. But I find myself wondering, if a company like PWC is also "Too big to fail." In this day and age, I have little trust in very large organizations, as I see them in league with politicians and b

I agree with your last sentence, as long as the black-letter law that is being violated is itself moral. I question the morality of many drug laws, however.

I stumbled a bit on the part where you said "The rest is just churn that you inevitably have to do to support the exciting bit." I found myself wondering what a person might have to change to be able to up the exciting work to 10,

I have a different view, but first, thank you for sharing yours. Yes, I could move to a different country. And I have thought about that quite a bit. There may come a time when I decide to do it. But it's troubling, morally, to do so.

I appreciate your comment. For me, it's a matter of the degree to which the person sees the ramifications of what they are doing, and the degree to which they directly contribute to the bad actions. For example, the management team tha

Thank you for a thought-provoking comment. Do you think that refusing to pay one's taxes, and thereby ultimately going to jail, is the best way to make a principled stand against the idea that taxation is theft? As I understand it, in

Do low interest rates benefit savers? For example, senior citizens trying to live off the interest earned from their savings?

Not trying to be sarcastic, but is "too dogmatic" a different way of saying "too principled?" I pay taxes to several entities, including the government of the United States of America and the state of Washington. These t

I'd rather not do things that give the state more power and control over individuals. So I'm not a big fan of regulation in general. I'd rather pursue voluntary means of encouraging virtuous action where and when I can. Engin

I won't engage in work that I conclude is immoral, nor will I help others to pursue ends that I consider problematic. I think it's important that you always be free to come to your own conclusions on such matters as well.

If someone chooses to work for a sleazy company, say one that aggressively violates a person's expressed desire to not be tracked, I would not want to hire them or otherwise associate with them. Should the engineers who enable companie

With respect, the comment that "the Apollo project was nothing more than a machine to convert a huge quantity of cash into a one-time use space-car to stick a pole in the moon" seems to drop an incredible amount of context. I thin

I disagree with Larry when he refers to that situation as a "moment of utter stupidity." People are not omniscient. I think it was classy, however, to apologize for the problem.

Saying that McCarthy was not entirely wrong does not imply that I endorse every aspect of his behavior.

With respect, there is reason to believe that McCarthy was not entirely wrong. The evils of communist governments are also beyond dispute, in my view. [1]. See the section on "Ongoing Debate", http://en.wikipedia.org&#x
