In my opinion it's probably worth discussing. I'm generally concerned if someone tells me not to worry.

I told my phone company, they wouldn't refund. I also reported the number to the communications ombudsman .. haven't heard anything since unfortunately.

A local taxi company near me was relisted on Google maps using a pay-per-minute redirect service. The scammers get paid, and the customer is non the wiser until they get their bill. I was charged about £5 for a 30 second call.

I think you're greatly underestimating the danger involved.

If the modifications a person makes have the potential to kill members of the public, I think you're wrong. This is new technology; laws and regulations need to reach a stage where they're able to protect against the worst from ha

I definitely understand your point, but I'm talking about the specific context the acronym is being used in. e.g. callsPoiAtHome() callsPoiAtHomeAtGeoPoint() callsPoiAtFamiliarPlace() callsPoiAtWorkPlace() Edit: typo

Groups of people travelling together?

Good point .. but if you look at the context, I think person of interest actually makes more sense in a lot of cases.

I'm guessing POI stands for person of interest? If so, seems more nefarious to me ... Edit: definitely more likely it's point of interest

Intelligent choices will lead to success. Including creating roles that make sense. As an employer .. if something can be automated, and you're paying someone to do it manually—do you deserve to get burnt?

Exactly - as a permanent employee, are you being paid for time or value?

When most people or organisations are purchasing a service, they're usually mainly concerned about the value that service will bring them. The amount of effort required to produce that value, helps to dictate market conditions and the

I think Google's behaviour probably has something to do with it too.

The means might not justify the need. e.g. Psychological support could be via a webchat platform.

I do think Google has turned a corner recently. They've achieved so much ubiquity, that their offerings are becoming incompatible with an open web.

If an organisation gets to a certain size, is it inevitable that it will eventually turn bad and disregard it's end-users' interests? Is this just the nature of the beast?

No it isn't. The current system isn't working for enough people.

Yes. Regulation should ensure a fair and level playing field for all. It's not anti-capitalist, it just stops the big guys from ruining things for everyone else.

No it isn't. Limits placed on capitalism, through regulation, might be an example of letting society (the system) sort itself out. If limits aren't introduced, the gap between rich and poor becomes too vast. It become futile for t

Unrestricted capitalism will never be a force for good. Left running without any regulation, the gap between rich and poor will increase adinfinitum. This kind of philanthropy acts as a last ditch attempt to correct the negative affects th
