I feel like the word unambiguously describes exactly what it is, which is all I can really ask for from a word. "Lesson" by itself might connote a more concrete transmission of knowledge (like a school lesson). Which is a meaningf

I feel like the analogy isn't a service to the problem. It's got all sorts of baggage and expectations pertaining to homeownership that don't carry over into migration. I feel it'd just be better to address the problem s

Why are we treating a known working and humanitarian strategy as some evil "growth" thing? I feel like we're dragging that term out of the hyper-capitalistic sense it's meant to evoke. People ought to be able to move whe

This is the line that I came to the comments looking for. It's possible that the author did take this into consideration and glossed over the details, but it's not something that I as a reader take for granted. And it's not

If I understand the parent comment right, this was an argument against ProtonMail's End-to-End Encrypted Webmail 5+ years ago. The argument being that some assurances typically associated with E2EE (that "even we can't see wh

I agree that law isn't enough; it's not the end of the discussion, surely. But I feel it is the trunk that we should branch from. If the law is ineffectual: the persuasive burden rests on the people saying so, not on the people

Vibes on the ground are not fact. Actionable law is. I agree with the people saying that this is in-effect a wholesale rejection of conferences in Africa, and that we should be mindful of that and work on a compromise. But how is it sensibl

It's reassuring since, having not habitually read papers, I've always wondered how (in)efficiently I read compared to readers of a professional sort.

I thought he was pretty solid in "Extra Punctuation". It was a nice change of pace to hear him gush about Undertale or muse about narrative in games instead of his usual routine.

The presumption there being that the only possible evidence for collusion is the existence of hard-requirements levied on each party. Unless you're misreading my reply to mean the absence of hard-evidence.

Where else do we require charges of collusion to be substantiated by hard-requirements?

Are you using that word because it has the funny swear part in it, or because that's how you believe other people have been using it?

Human or not doesn't seem relevant in any jurisdiction which emphasizes copyright as a means to the end of "promoting useful art", as the US Constitution does, rather than an end in itself. The moral calculus probably changes

> we have not been locking people up for punishment for quite some time Whether or not this is true seems kind of beside the point. All I'm saying as that, for an arbitrary reader, a consequence of determinism is that the morals of

Moral culpability would seem to go out the window in a deterministic universe, no? Not in the sense that people shouldn't be held responsible for actions, but in the sense that retributive punishment becomes a much harder sell. A mur

I don't trust the govt quite as much as you, but could see this being a useful govt function if the issuing body didn't maintain any record of when, where, or why an ID was used--and only acted to verify the authenticity of an ID.
