My guess is that you’ll rarely find this as it’s not a protected characteristic under the law (and, as far as I can see, CoCs essentially follow discrimination law). Whether that's the law wasn't my point. And actually some pr

Whether they are a good or bad idea, maybe not, but whether they should be supported, opposed, or ignored, it is relevant. The group of people actively pushing for codes of conduct and the group of people making decisions like the one abov

Whenever I see a code of conduct I check if "political opinion" is a "protected class". Then I ask, "Could Brendan Eich have been excommunicated under this code?". I rarely find the first. The second is less

I understand that, which is why I ended my original comment with: Not saying you're wrong I'm just surprised.

Sure, but that's enough money to retire comfortably at any age in a first world country. Did Musk do a lifetime's work worth of damage to the man? Did he make it impossible for the other man to work? Was the other man even fire

$10,000,000 sounds like the judgement I'd expect in a wrongful death suit, not a single episode of mud slinging. Not saying you're wrong I'm just surprised.

Parent doesn't seem to be arguing that these providers are anonymous, just that you get what you pay for in customer service. They explicitly say that end to end encryption (ie client side PGP) is required for privacy.

The American one doesn't? I have an Android phone - they know who I am - and they know what I search for.

In practice it matters, I think, even if in principle you can't undelete something from the internet. If someone is not explicitly looking for it, or not looking very hard, then the fewer places it exists the less likely it is that th

They can if you're Redbox, which is what the parent was talking about. With DRM bullshit they can circumvent the Right of First Sale principle.

The main issue with this approach for me is that Google et. al. clearly have much better physical security than my apartment. In exchange for in-principle privacy improvements and possibly forth amendment protection you take on a huge risk

I'd assume it's because then a pathogen could just make itself look like a red blood cell to dodge the immune system.

In my experience of having lost fifty pounds and having kept most of it off for a year or two now, "move more" is significantly less important than "eat less". (For overall health I'm sure it's very important,

I too had a difficult childhood and overcame some moderate difficulties. Then I proceeded to waste my adult youth (20s and most of my 30s) in a multi decade pit of depression and withdrawal from the world. So let's not forget surviv

Conservatives (the politicians) pretend to want to deport illegal immigrants to get votes. They don't actually want to do it because a lot of businesses depend on them for cheap labor. You don't even need to deport anyone, jus

They're probably quite useful in obtaining probable cause , much like drug search dogs.

I find it so strange that this is a problem... like the top legal minds of Germany can't figure out how to interpret the concept of public domain from another jurisdiction in a way that's consistent with German law? They can&#x27

No, but if I'm going to log in it forces me to check to make sure the domain is not something deceptively similar to what I expect, which takes mental energy and is therefore annoying. Also, unlike apparently everyone else, I care who

That there are willing young immigrants available is a historical accident. As countries develop economically their birth rates consistently drop, eventually to below the replacement rate, as can be seen in almost all first world countries.

Empirically, seeing that couples in general find child rearing too burdensome to maintain replacement rate, it seems that the current split is not the correct one.

Don't forget that 1) the first world birth rate is below replacement, and 2) your retirement savings will be made worthless by inflation if there is no labor pool to support the economy when you are retired. Parent poster is arguably

Seems like gp was being figurative, and saying that something like the mythical "goo that consumes everything" actually exists already.
