There should be a term for this type of fallacy - the idea that you're not allowed to criticize or advocate change of a system that you're part of. It's similar to when people say "If you think taxes should be higher, th

I don't find this to be a valid comparison. The goal of scientific studies typically don't overlap 100% and there are lots of differences between how they are conducted, whereas high-resolution, high-framerate, non-cropped video i

I don't see why it would matter. If you cherry-pick the single version from the various transcodings of a video that happens to portray an inaccurate version of the event, then you're still intentionally being deceitful.

Sure, but I don't understand what the harm would be in trying the treatment for a patient who will otherwise have a 100% chance of dying in a very short timeframe. I mean, if the Milwaukee protocol did help the one patient, then the tr

Elections are run by states, not by the federal government, and the most problematic voting situations in the US are usually where Republicans have control of state legislature.

I hope you can take a step back and see the absurdity of your argument. Using a search engine in one particular way doesn’t imply intent, nor does buying something that’s not exactly what you need. Airlines can’t have it both ways: if they

A “market based” solution makes no sense here. Both Google and Baidu are going to optimize for ad revenue, which means doing only the minimum in terms of self-policing to avoid government regulation, just as Google, Facebook and others have

What an absurd false dichotomy. “Either let Google assist the Chinese government in censoring information or my Grandmother will die.” Seriously? It’s the government’s responsibility to prohibit false advertising, and in an environment tha

By Google's own admission, there is no way for them to know if the issue was abused because they only keep two weeks of log data. If there was a way for them to have found that "no harm was done", they would be emphatically

Many articles fit such a description but were “duped”. Wouldn’t it benefit the site if at least one of those were allowed to exist alongside what is essentially Google’s response? The title of this article doesn’t even convey the most impor

This is not a news article, though - it's a one-sided PR piece that greatly minimizes important points about the story and completely ignores other points (e.g. the regulation angle). You should have let another news story take its spo

Sometimes there are 10-25 different votes you’re casting on a single ballot (for example: city council, judges/prosecutors, state representatives and senators, federal reps and senators, president, local and state ballot initiatives)

A combination of both: the card company will notify you of known issues and clean up what they can, but they won’t catch everything. In any case, it’s a good idea to be regularly monitoring your card statement anyway because stolen card num

I’m not backing off my argument; I’m arguing from a stance of reasonableness rather than perfection. And while we can argue on exactly what defines “reasonableness”, I think it’s unambiguously clear that a large number of people do in fact

This is disingenuous. Yes, an ISP can’t do anything if you pay for 1Gbps but can’t download that fast from a server in Turkey. But the only reason a customer can’t get sufficient bandwidth from Netflix, whose servers are often 5 hops away i

The correct response should have been for credit card holders to sue their credit card companies. Which we won't be able to do at all in a few years thanks to the ubiquitousness of forced arbitration clauses?
