I think "spent" rather than "lost" would be more appropriate - time spent sharing and discussing ideas isn't a total waste.

An official service can improve on a pirate service in terms of reliability, speed, quality, security and ethical considerations. There is some real value in instant access to guaranteed high definition good quality videos that are free fro

It's really very different. Paramount are doing something that only hurts fans of their own movie. The fact that they are legally entitled to is beside the point. Paramount are legally entitled to pull all copies of Top Gun off the she

The big deal is that this goes against the original intention of copyright law. Copyright law is only supposed to provide incentives to create works of art. The restriction on personal freedoms is supposed to be outweighed by the cultural (

Their software had bugs that could cause a stack overflow and critical data wasn't protected. Sure, it might not be the real cause, but it's a pretty likely candidate. It's not like these errors are unlikely in general. Apart

Actually I think we're still a little off. The p-value is the probability of seeing a test statistic at least as extreme as the observed sample statistic, under the assumption that the null hypothesis is true. This can be restated in

This paper examines adults, and does not resolve the nature vs nurture argument. The conclusions you have drawn from it are premature, and, I suspect, indicate what you want to believe. The "inane" social movements you attack are

Sounds like you're the one who is "offended".

Yeah, the word "war" hints at competition but it literally means violent conflict. I know of no association between "war" and a metaphor for self improvement. You should make that clearer if that is what you're goin

Seriously? You never noticed that the martial arts world is male dominated in a way that many women find off-putting? Sure, some women are okay with it, but that doesn't mean all women are (or should be).

The site is called CodeWars, not CodeDances or CodeCaligraphy. Kata here is clearly associated with martial arts. Martial arts and war tend to be popular with men and less popular with women. Is that really a contentious point? Do you want

Maybe everyone who died is still alive in some universe or other. That's a sobering thought.

The fun thing is that there's a high probability that the ancient aliens still get to meet us, but a low probability of us meeting them.

One idea I've had about past civilisations is to do with quantum immortality. Suppose you did a Schroedinger's cat type experiment, but you were the cat. If the multiple universe hypothesis is true, then when the box is opened, tw

While the danger of physical violence might not be significant, I can imagine that a big group of drunk men might be very intimidating for some women. We've all read complaints about unwelcome advances, harassment, inappropriate commen

It's not really like insisting on dirt bike racing. The article is like complaining that everyone else likes dirt bike racing and you don't and that makes you feel excluded. edit: Although I can see the point about men drinking be

This is a silly analogy. Racism causes serious damage to people's lives. Participating in racial discrimination perpetuates racist attitudes and that is why all forms of racial discrimination that negatively affect minorities are seen

I don't think we will run out of gas before we switch to renewables. The supply of gas (as in, the amount of gas that can be produced per month) is limited and the demand for energy is always increasing, so prices are always going to g

I think point 1 is to do with how you understand the argument. Logically the argument "X is bad, Y facilitates X therefore Y is bad" can be applied to pretty much anything. But I think the real justification is meant to be that th

What you say feels right intuitively, but I can't figure out the logic behind it. Does participating in a marketplace automatically make one partially responsible for the crimes of others who participate in it? That doesn't seem q

I think it's okay for the topic of conversation to move from this particular money laundering case to recent money laundering cases in general. It wouldn't be reasonable for BTCKing to use the HSBC case in his defence, but that&#x

One crime doesn't excuse another. However, a discrepancy between sentences indicates either that one sentence was too harsh or one sentence was too soft. It's a valid question to ask which is true.

According to the Jezebel article and wikipedia most revenge porn photos are selfies or photoshops of stolen non-nude pictures. In which case copyright law would apply. However, to answer your question, you do own the copyright of a photo yo

I think they've just filed for "saga" I don't think they've been granted it. As far as I know filing for it can block other trademark applications, but it doesn't stop others from using the word in their games.

I don't think his website would have existed if he had honoured takedown requests. The entire premise was that these pictures are hosted without permission (and according to the Jezebel article about 90% were). If he honoured DMCA requ

Websites should be free to host user generated content provided they're not intending to host illegal content. Taking reasonable steps to remove illegal content is only part of that. If the illegal content hosting is the public premise

I think you're being a bit unrealistic about how people behave. The H1B does give a lot of extra market power to employers because it means the employee has a lot to lose if things go wrong. The threat of being fired carries with it a

The talk of "consensus" emerged because previously there was a concerted effort from vested interests to make the public believe that climate change was a controversial issue amongst the scientific community. This severely muddied

The condescension comes because of the quality of the arguments used. People who claim to be "skeptical" use fallacious arguments, misrepresent information and make general emotive points rather than pointing to scientific data an
