I live in Greece, and it is an optional extra here. If you pay with a card, a lot of times there is a menu on the POS which you choose a percentage for tipping, which ranges from 0% upto I dont remember how much (but a lot). Personally I al

How about making "defer" be snooze with a hard limit of 2 or 3 times max? This I think would work because you could snooze if really you cant/dont want to deal with a message immediately but eventually you would have to. Or m

So it is illegal. So basically I am not free to block hot spots in my own area if I use it for public access, which essentially amounts to "Even if you own an area, whenever it is publicly accessible, you do not own its 'air'

I dont know, but it's my property and it seems logical that as long as they know they cant make that call, the decision is theirs and so is the liability.

Hypothetical question: I buy some land to host conventions. I make the buildings and enclose them in a big faraday cage. Then I make deals with anyone that agrees: Whoever wants to host a convention in my center, they will accept that insid

True, but the problem is that while we can agree on what is illegal, we cant agree on what is wrong. So we "sign" a contract called law, in order to establish some common ground. So when I see that the contract no longer suits me(

I agree. My point is that there is a separation between the morality value of the isolated action and the morality value of the action in the context of a law. If we disconnect those two, we have a potential problem caused by "metamora

No. I mean it is written on a piece of paper and enforced by sometimes armed men to whom you implicitly grant authority to do, whenever you use the law to protect your own rights. That is the trade off in democracy: We have to obey laws we

Well, suppose that you do pay for something and the seller gets your money but never delivers you the goods. Consider your feelings, thoughs, or whatever as an argument for "why it's wrong"
