"I want anyone to be able to do whatever they want to with my code. That includes developers wanting to create a proprietary application. Telling them they can't is not freedom." That sounds like the "if you can't s

It's still part of YouTube. And if Google is following their own guidelines for it, they won't ask for those permissions until you try to do something that needs it. Seeing as how I've been using YouTube for a while and have

I don't think iOS did it retroactively. It's just that, since so many more people actually update (because they're not at the mercy of their carrier), devs update their apps more often.

No, that's precisely what you said. If I have not the money to execute, then I deserve to have my idea taken from me. That is what supporting the idea of knockoffs taking a kickstarter product means.
575.
by s73ver 9y ago
That's a rather harsh and Darwinistic view of things. Remember, the main purpose of Kickstarter is to raise funds to be able to bring this thing to market. If I have the idea, but no money, I deserve to have my idea stolen because I wa

Then what's to stop me from plopping an oil well on it?

Places like REI, where one can rent camping equipment for a reasonable price, exist.

"They boggle your mind. But they represent the will of the people." How much can you actually say that. Were there polls done? Was it done by referendum?

That's why I can't take any gun rights advocate seriously.

We're not talking about ice cream. And yes, the proper solution is to have government require that all data is treated equally. Because, despite your attempts at dodging, there are places in this country where competition just is not v

No. Your argument completely falls flat when you ignore the fact that most people do not have choice for their ISP. Because you keep ignoring this, and saying it's the fault of people who had nothing to do with it, I have to believe yo

It's the same way we've done exams for the last 100 or so years.

Spammed AdSense with fraudulent clicks, and impersonated other apps in the Play Store.

"In the long run, the only barrier to competition is regulatory capture" Not true. There's the fact that for many places, they just can't support multiple choices for things like that. There's the equipment, which i

You haven't answered the question as to why people who live in rural areas, where there likely wouldn't be competition anyway, don't deserve net neutrality. And I'm sorry, but if the only reason you're giving intern

No. Most people have only one choice for ISP, and that wouldn't change if you got rid of all federal regulation on them. Therefore, regulations are required in order to make sure that people don't get fucked by their ISP.

by s73ver 9y ago
Starting an ISP is incredibly expensive, even if you didn't have regulations. If you got rid of all ISP regulations tomorrow, you would be lucky if in 3 years you'd start to see competition. And most places wouldn't be valuab

But we're not in the 90s anymore. And large ISPs have demonstrated their willingness to screw their customers to make more profit.

by s73ver 9y ago
At the end of the day, they want to make it so that my ISP can charge me more based on what sites I want to go to, and charge the providers of those sites more to reach me. I don't care what the rationale is, I don't want it.

While people still need to buy food and clothing, and pay rent/mortgages, yes, they should be.

That's what I said. But I also said that we have a LOT of people who we still need to do something for, because, as you agreed with me on, there are a lot fewer jobs. Let's say the average factory before all this started took 100

The reason that is, is because the idea of bringing back "manufacturing" implies that it'll bring back the jobs as well. That bringing back "manufacturing" means all those people who lost their assembly line jobs wi

Nobody is saying that we shouldn't still try to get those automated manufacturing jobs back here. Just that bringing those suppliers back here isn't going to lead to the awesome manufacturing jobs that once existed, and we're

1.) Just because someone doesn't "look disabled" doesn't mean they aren't actually disabled. 2.) Just like the voter ID thing, show that it's actually a problem before devoting a bunch of resources on a witch h

Except you're still acting immorally by forcing your belief system onto others who don't share that belief system. It doesn't matter if you don't believe in property; the person who owned that car does.

I never said I wasn't. That doesn't resolve the people who voted for Trump of what they voted for.

How do you plan on curbing harassment? I think, after Twitter, it's just plain irresponsible to not have some kind of plan for that.

"This failure is not on regular people" Regular people are the ones who voted for those in power who declared that Global Warming was a hoax. Regular people are the ones who voted for leaders who prized returning to coal instead o

Yes, it is. If you are willing to do bad things, it doesn't matter the reason. Those people in 3rd world countries calling with tax scams or calling "from Windows" about a virus are bad people, straight up.
