What I asked is specific: if you know the money is for a hit job will you still accept the business and take your fee or is there a moral line you personally won't cross? Yes, it's the job of the police to investigate but do you w

Where did I say instead? You should do both.

Not if you spend it instead of investing it.

Depends on the case. If you already know who belongs to a terrorist organization then maybe stopping the money and limiting the ability to terrorize would be a higher priority.

So you would willingly, knowingly, and personally process a transaction to kill someone? Not your problem, let the police discover it?

And if it's for human trafficking? Payment processors are made up of people, and people have to have the freedom of drawing a moral line they won't cross. The real problem as I see it is that payment processing is a near monopoly.

Not universal even in the US, but you encounter them fairly frequently in Europe depending on the country.

That's a fair point. Nothing like 10,000 hours is required for most people to attract and keep someone who fits their criteria. But the point was that if you're blaming other people or something like hypergamy instead of improving

That's why they use the full body scanner at most airport security now. One of those detected a small piece of scrap paper in my back pocket that I had to pull out and show to security. They showed me the image and even the shape of th

Is she fun? Is she honest? Does she have the same values as me? Is her family very healthy and long lived? There are so many important factors you're leaving out. Not to mention that beautiful people often quickly rise to higher paid p

None of the men blaming hypergamy on their failure at attracting a rich and beautiful woman have put in the actual time. They say it takes about 10,000 hours to get good at something. The numbers would seem to not support that everyone can

And the data shows that both sexes engage in hypergamy. Men marry up in education. Men marry up in beauty. Women marry up in income but not by a lot.

How does that work? You steal a bike and ride both home? Wouldn't a van or being on foot be the better approach to stealing bikes?

Lots of folks on your street are getting around town with zero emissions and you're moaning about that while talking about the troubles of fixing your polluting vehicle? Have you ever paused to think how inconsiderate it is to pollute

Why would a plate in your body set off a warning light? It's not a security risk.
226.

This is factually wrong. Being stuck in a long security line for a flight in Europe or S. America is not unusual.

That's a gross exaggeration of what was claimed. The idea was that if a law is good but it prevents some companies from legally operating, that's ok. For example, if a company can't profit without using child labor then it&#x

Facebook loses no control by not operating in countries where they can't obey the laws. You keep focusing on individual choice but conveniently never include Facebook as a party perfectly capable of making choices too.

by tchaffee 3y ago
People elected the government. The people made the choice. GDPR and other privacy protections are also widely supported by most people in Europe. It's so popular with the average person that vver 17 countries have already adopted laws

That's not at all how it works. You're arguing against points where your understanding of the related technology is poor.
231.
by tchaffee 3y ago
No one gave up their agency. The laws are a reflection of choices people freely made of their own will about how they want their data protected.

The owner of Facebook and as an adult have the right to not do business in countries where you can't reasonably obey the laws.
233.
by tchaffee 3y ago
That's not what the EU said. You can read the publicly available ruling. Or any of the hundreds of articles summarizing the ruling.
234.
by tchaffee 3y ago
If you think it's technically impossible the burden of proof is on you. Facebook has not claimed it's not technically possible.
235.
by tchaffee 3y ago
Yes, they would. Not my problem how you implement it. That's Facebook's problem. My rate is $600 an hour and I'll guarantee I can come up with a GDPR compliant solution within a year or you don't have to pay. That's

That's entirely untrue. Countries in the EU had strong privacy laws before the EU existed. And before the internet existed. Mostly around phone companies, but not only. Having lived in a few countries in the EU I can also anecdotely s

Facebook operates in the EU and the majority of EU citizens prefer their privacy. Facebook must obey the laws of the land if they want to operate there. Just as Facebook must obey Apple's rules if they want to be in the app store. Simi

Worse user experience depends on your priorities. Some people and companies think privacy is an essential UX factor. Apple, the most successful company in the world from time to time, agrees.

Not only that. Name a big business or big NGO that runs well and has zero leadership.

Sure. Or any country that complies with EU data protection and privacy laws.
