Sending an email several hours later to fact check someone is not even in the same ballpark as pulling out your phone at the end of a discussion and looking up the fact together. Honestly, I think most people would consider that malicious o

You will actually find that the vast majority of Spanish grammar is untouched by this change. The only change, actually, is that it will now be possible to acknowledge the existence of nonbinary people. Or do you think that binary gendered

Ok cool, they get to exist. And they speak Spanish. What word do they use to refer to themselves? Oh, no, how did we get back here...?

So, in your example of the Irish word, that's exactly how misinformation gets spread so easily. I doubt anyone is in danger from thinking a certain Irish word exists which doesn't actually exists. But the exact same scenario can b

It's the same for me. I want to work from home, at least most days, but then it's quite difficult to actually get out and see people. Past jobs have provided the bulk of my social interaction, unfortunately. Now it's kind of

There's an extra layer of post-colonialism in this situation, but it's otherwise almost identical to the discussion happening in English about gendered pronouns. I think the following can both be true: 1. It's bad to tell peo

How can you say it's informed consent if the obvious outcome is that more people click "yes" than actually want to click "yes"?

Well, tracking users by cookies or fingerprinting or whatever can tell you that by combining data from different sources. Now we've looped back around to being in favor of the most intrusive methods.

Thanks for responding. Yeah, I don't use the 1st gen. The drowsiness is a deal breaker, since I'm already on the edge of drowsiness most days. I only use loratadine, and it doesn't do a lot. But I probably don't need to

So how do you pay your rent? Most of us aren't working for others because we like it.

It could be all of the above. I was diagnosed with "mild" sleep apnea and a CPAP hasn't really made an improvement on my day-to-day. The main difference is that occasionally I used to wake up feeling completely hung over and

Fortnite might be a bad example. I could actually see it happening there; Fortnite is big on cross-IP content. I can imagine that buying a skin in Fortnite or a Marvel game and then using it in both could be a selling point. (This could get

People may be downvoting because I stuffed my comment with opinions they dislike more so than my calling out the title being irrelevant to the article.

Hm, you're right that there are digital situations where it does make sense. And that's exactly what the article is about: Does it make sense in your game? In most cases, no.

This isn't about cryptocurrency at all. It's about the obviously bad idea of transferable digital in-game goods [sold for cryptocurrency]. You don't need the crypto part to see why it's not a good idea, although the mode

No. Hijacking emotional/biochemical triggers in our brains is not the same as giving us what we "want". It is the exact same problem as with clickbait/ragebait titles on content (which... often get shared to Facebook). P

Do you think that's what Facebook is? Are you not aware of their content sorting algorithms?

Fair enough, if they in fact didn't gain any money from their illegal actions then the fine is less problematic.

by soiler 4y ago
If the fine is less than the profit of committing the crime, then it is now de facto legal, taxed profit. There is no incentive not to continue committing the crime. Perhaps $5mm is a valid fine on top of repaying the illegal profits. But
