Why do developed countries need to grow the middle class? I think the idea is that we want them to grow the middle class so that there are more people with disposable income and expensive appetites to sell to. Because we can't really c

No, the question was, verbatim, "What obligation does law enforcement have to regulate content that you and I, as open-Internet believers, agree is unlawful? Shall we allow illegal content in order to err on the side of caution?"

How many times can the same dollar of infrastructure costs be used to justify maintaining a monopoly where service is bad and never gets upgraded? It is in the company's interest to flog that dollar for all it is worth, forever, as a j

The question was whether we should allow unlawful content for the sake of erring on the side of caution. You seem completely unwilling to discuss or take any stance on this issue. You want to talk about surveillance, and you say it's t

What defines the defeat of net neutrality (like deregulation in general) as a corporate interest is that the predominant interest against net neutrality comes from big corporations, while the predominant interest for net neutrality is the g

The question was about unlawful content . The NSA isn't particularly interested in unlawful content, its surveillance has a goal of intelligence gathering rather than detection of unlawful content. I understand the NSA is associated w

While we're changing the subject, why not Windows and VirtualBox? By the time we've proposed OS X instead of *BSD, we've proposed everything.

The answer is that nobody will support it as-is... they would just use the source to make or improve other things. Because this is what would be in the interests of the users. Even if it meant Windows got buried. But this is strictly imagin

There is definitely a mainstream view supporting the media companies, and consistently angry about all regulation. This isn't even disputable.

If I state that I feel lost sometimes or that I have impostor syndrome it doesn't in any way imply that I'm better. You're just attacking people for showing vulnerability.

Hmm. I don't agree. Is it better to publicly represent that you are the smartest guy in the room and make the people lower on the totem pole feel bad? Maybe it would be nice if the normal way of things changed so that you didn't h

OK. I'm being downvoted presumably because I sound partisan or something, butyou don't have to assume that the people posting here are paid shills because their view is politically mainstream, lots of normal people have these view

One of the two major political parties has a stronger interest in reducing government regulation across the board to give corporations greater scope, even if that means stronger monopolies. You don't have to assume paid shills to get t

Adding more mothers to the production of one baby isn't necessarily going to speed up the process... I suspect that creating a text editor is not an embarrassingly parallel problem.

I'm interested in why you removed "stagnate and die" from that quote. The problem I described is when people actually prefer to kill a project through stagnation than to help it move forward - often by active resistance to an

Wow, pre-congratulations! Let's hope this inspires some renewal in the Perl community. It never made any sense to me that some people would rather see Perl stagnate and die and complain from the peanut gallery than they would help it

The consensus seems to be "telling them why something is a bad idea at length is part of the job" and "doing it the stupid way at additional cost, because they insisted, is part of the job." But I think we can go too far

You like watching sports. Some other guy likes Marvel comics. Another guy likes D&D. Another guy likes trains. Another guy likes Marxist literary analysis. Everyone finds something interesting in their own interest. It doesn't mean

I have the ability to talk to people about lots of things. I talk to all kinds of people about all kinds of things. If someone only has one interest which is sports, I can politely demur or listen depending on whether I have the time, exact

It seems that a certain number of sports fans like yourself get automatically butthurt if someone doesn't play along with them. You're not entitled to that. And the majority of the US has been strongly shaming anyone who doesn&#x2

You are projecting. Someone doesn't share your interests, or finds sports boring. It really, really doesn't mean they think they're clever, or "too good". That implies that secretly, they like sports but just get of

A lot of people are gonna say I'm a jerk and think I'm militant if I don't like what they like. Fuck that. People decide they don't like you even if you didn't do anything wrong, all the time.

I don't care about sports. If you start a conversation with me about sports, it'll be short. I'm not being mean to anyone who likes sports, I just don't care. You don't get to tell me that I'm wrong for not sha
