I'm talking about morals, not the law. The issue is that there was an imbalance of power which means one party can push the other one around but not the reverse. If The Daily Stormer had made that claim about some unrelated business, i

Do you have any link to what The Daily Stormer actually said? All I can find is various rewordings of it. They will of course be reworded in the least charitable way in most cases.

Cloudflare only got its revenge on Daily Stormer because it had the power to do so, and abused that power instead of using the legal system like everyone else has to. I used to be a schoolteacher, and no matter what bad or false thing a stu

They're the only choices that have any chance of happening. I absolutely agree we should solve not crime specifically, but the terrible lifelong personal suffering that causes it. For every violent criminal, there must be a lot of harm

I'm not talking about re-educating adults. Just that we could teach nearly everyone to program if it were important, in the same way we teach nearly everyone to read and write. Kids already learn long division at school, which is an al

If it's such a busy location to cause a big jam, how did the vandals get away with destroying it? In out of the way places, it won't cause a big jam.

b) is education. Literacy is terrible without school too. But now nearly everyone spends years learning that skill and can use it throughout life. Not to say coding is necessarily as useful as reading and writing though.

But what about crime? Surveillance really does stop crime. America has parts of cities that are too dangerous to walk alone in at night, and it's so well known that if somebody is murdered doing that, people blame the victim for being

"public spaces" may include shops and other private property open to the public. Shop owners may want to use it for marketing and blacklisting known shoplifters.

There's no way this ban will apply to governments though. Just like that right to remove PII, governments are exempt. The article already mentions exceptions for security.

But isn't that how USB and lots of standards are designed? Not political but still committees. It might not be perfectly elegant but at least it's a universal standard, which is the main point of it. I don't want the return o

The safe existence of corporations suggests to me that the popular fear of AGI taking over and destroying humans is unrealistic. Corporations are like giant powerful AGI machines with the single purpose of making money for their shareholder

People want to relax and go fishing when they're working, not when they've got nothing to do all day. Retirement only looks good while you're working unless you have enough self drive to actively pursue your hobbies when reti

I used to believe that work was only there for what it produced, but now know that that's wrong. Being useful is very important for mental well-being. It gives happiness and reduces anxiety and depression. When I was unemployed, I did

It's easy to label any idea you disagree with as "intolerant" then use that Popper quote as an excuse to be intolerant of it and the people who hold it.

Are you calling him stupid for openly writing about gayness in the 70's when he was told not to? How else could social change happen without such "stupid" people?

Do discarded fishing nets really cause more harm to fish than actively used ones? The whole job of fishermen is to kill fish. How can you say they're environmentally responsible for not losing their nets? The environmental problems cau

Curiously, overfishing used to be a serious environmental problem before global warming and plastic took over public awareness. It's done far more harm to fish numbers than those other things are predicted to, but people still weren&#x

The funny thing is people confuse recycling with reducing ocean plastic. I've had conversations like this "Why do you recycle?" "Because plastic kills birds." "But only if it gets washed out to sea, right?&quot

How will people's lives in the future be worse with a 2% annual reduction than 15%? Why do you call it a disaster instead of "worse"?

When you saids "It is just that .." , did you really mean those are the only causes of the higher black crime rate? If not, what do you think the other major causes are?
