Exactly my line of reasoning; this is an example of an easy to think of scenario where it is "obviously" better to kill somebody than allow them to report something to law enforcement. This example is rather black and white, thoug

Is the premise here that nobody should ever put themselves into situations where they cannot rely on law enforcement and the justice systems to resolve disputes and incidents? Shipping companies semi-frequently seem to find themselves in si

Listen, I'm not a robot. When I read a post, I read what is literally being said, and I read between the lines; I look for subtext, and implications. I am not going to stop doing tihs. Maybe when you write those things never exist

Yes, I agree. A hypothetical bar owner could get away with banning silly hats. We can defend that with assertions about ownership of property and the privileges that gives somebody... that isn't particularly problematic within reason

You could have just answered "I don't think that." Or, you know, given me the exact response you just typed.... It really was not my intention to ask you a loaded question. Instead of calling my question childish, you s

That is a reasonable response. I would counter by saying that I see that as a justification for why they [government, ISP, whoever] should be allowed make demands about the use of the physical commons, but isn't a reason why they sh

"Once a link is vested, it will never be deleted unless we receive a legitimate legal order to take it down." That seems odd to me. Could they simply publish their mappings periodically to avoid being able to fully comply with

Exactly, or even just issue a yearly book containing the entire mapping. That would save printing since most people probably don't currently care about the expanded form, though in the future they would still be able to look it up in

I find the 32GB Pixel more than adequate, but admittedly I am probably weird that way. The last time my primary computer happened to have 32GB was only 2007 and I've never really grown out of those usage patterns.
