Yah your argument against adverting is bullshit. Even consumers love ads. Did you know that they even pay money because they want ads? Those 900 pages of Vogue that they buy every September, do you think they're filled with articles?

The bigger issue is that people have this mistaken impression that think-tanks are independent academic institutions. They're not. They're private organizations that corporations go to and pay them to write a research paper that a

Why are there adults that make slippery-slope arguments?

It's completely inappropriate to limit talk of global warming when a hurricane just hit. Now is the time to make sure people understand that this is due to global warming.

OK now how much of my money would you like me to pay to you to make sure that you are fine?

This would matter if think-tanks were independent academic research organizations. They aren't. They're basically mini-PACs or mini-ad agencies. You pay them to publish research that supports your corporate positions. That&#x2

This is why people like Elon Musk are completely mischaracterized as innovators and leaders of the tech scene. Today's tech-bros go for the most obvious nerd-bait, like electric cars, rockets, and solar panels. This is stuff that, if

It's a perfectly fine situation for nation-states to have access to such data, because nation-states already have access to everything inside Facebook and Google. In the US, you only need a warrant to access anything inside those comp

If you want to turn these into utilities, you start with a standardization process that allows the public to utilize them as infrastructure. Like there is an HTML standard, there would likely be a search standard and a social-network/p

Censorship is fine. Use it as a tool to maintain social order. Don't be the guy that read 1984 and thinks all censorship is bad, and that the world is going to collapse because someone banned a neo-nazi forum. You don't have eno

Network Solutions is both as a registrar and DNS provider. This is likely coming from their DNS side. And they don't have to provide DNS services to neo-Nazis.

No, since drones have a crash rate that's multiple-times higher than manned airplanes.

So, are we going to erase the Prius and GM EV1 from the history books? Also, I'm still not convinced that hybrids aren't a better solution than full EV.

How is HPKP supposed to work when you change certificates? The new certificates don't have HPKP and the site still relies on old HPKP. Letsencrypt certificates only lasts 90 days. It's a real pain-in-the-ass to figure out a proc

You're in the discussion about Apple's self-driving cars. Do you think Apple is going to create a car for the 15% of the rural people? This is why your limited market is irrelevant and worth exactly 0. It's your responsibilit

If government built a road in front of your house, they can build a streetcar line in front of your house as well. This is the cost of living in luxury with your own 19 acres. And if you have your own farmland, you are richer than half the

How much energy does it take to move 500 cars? How much energy does it take to move one train? That's your answer.

And streetcars are great at moving people that last mile. Take that road in front of your office, and just put rails in it. If your local government can pay for a road in front of your house, it can pay for a streetcar. This applies to den

My belief is that it just won't happen without infrastructure changes, such as new road designs and car-to-car communications regulations. And I don't see those changes happening without an infrastructure overhaul, at which point

Why does the tech industry focus on self-driving cars so much? It's absolutely never going to happen, ever. The world would be much better off if we converted our roads to a rail/streetcar system and drop the personal car concept

Makefiles tend to get really messy when you have to build libraries and components in separate directories. It's definitely tuned more towards building single target projects.

Don't be the person that thinks "let's ban Nazis" is going to lead to everything in the world turning into Orwell's 1984. You just don't have enough information about society to make your slippery-slope argumen

It's because Nazis have already declared war on the US and committed to acts of violence. As a response, America literally declared war against them, and killed them wholesale. Remember, we're talking about self-declared Nazis, n

Slippery slope fallacies are not a real problem. You deal with the problem at hand now, not some problem in the far distant future. Greedy algorithms exist and solve plenty of problems just fine.

So, why make a statement if they don't want to act on it? I mean, if you're going to be neutral, say it. Don't say you're against something, when you're not.
