Starting something like a YouTube competitor would be a PR nightmare. How profitable is YouTube for Google that it makes sense to launch a competitor?

I mean I game a lot and overall their quality seems pretty average compared to other sites. Other sites have the same issues but don't get near the same amount of hate. I get thinking it's quality is middling but I've ran int

A ton of other people hated it though. Is there a reason people hate Kotaku so much? It's always seemed like a pretty normal game site to me except for the fact it leans a little more liberal on social issues.

Would be performance and SLA for this API be built into contracts with other companies? In my experience they might be contractually obligated to maintain the API but idk if that's applicable to something like this.

I assume Wikipedia is protesting because it directly affects them. I don't see how it's problematic to advocate for themselves sometimes.

The first thing that springs to mind is attorney client privileged emails. My understanding from how legal explained it to me is that if I have a privileged email conversation with them but then forward it to my boss that communication woul

You wouldn't be able to cut all of it. Also making those major infrastructure changes are really expensive.

It's not controversial that many mammals have emotions very very similar to humans (my wife is literally an animal welfare researcher). You're talking about more about how they think than their emotions, whether they are sad becau

The thing is that you really need some specific reason to be suspicious and being a journalist or activist isn't inherently suspicious. It's not that you can't be suspicious of journalists, you just need an actual reason and

Being sympathetic isn't a crime. Also covering things as a journalist not only isn't a crime but also is protected in many forms by the Constitution. Americans are very very very touchy about possible freedom of speech and freedom

Yeah, interestingly by far the least toxic place for me are Facebook and a personal Discord server where I know everyone in real life and I can curate who the people are.

I think it makes sense to jail people who are an immediate harm to others like serial killers and some spousal abusers. Jailing for even things like armed robbery and carjacking seem often unnecessary if you can track people, very few peopl

Slavery, Chinese exclusion act, Japanese internment, Jim crow laws, are just some examples of the times public policy was explicitly racist. A bunch more things are implicitly racist, with the war on drugs being one of them (interestingly

I went to Catholic school and I've read them but I was also taught that the church is fundamentally a group of people and is allowed to change over time. The church is fundamentally a cultural institution and those people in the past w

I'm unclear as to where you are getting your idea of what is "correct" Catholic social teaching? I was always taught what is "correct" is essentially what the Bible and the Church say.

I'm wrestling with this at work right now and the short names don't really bother me as they are right in that the fact that if you have the type the shorter name can make the code easier to read slightly. What annoyed me is that

The issue is that most people in prison aren't "hyper aggressive". We incarcerate way more people than other places so your argument seems predicated on there being a lot more "hyper aggressive" people in the US tha

Most of the people I've talked to aren't crazy alien conspiracy theorists so I can't really comment on that brand of conspiracy theorist. Honestly my main experience is the standard 9/11, global warming, and Obama conspi

The hardest thing about this study to me is that these tendencies aren't only applicable to Overwatch. It's obviously worse in video game culture (because it's more abusive and immature as a whole) but this matches with what

They mentioned no surveillance so after all the windows 10 telemetry stuff windows doesn't seem to be the answer here.

They can only do that because the US system is so broken so you are just reinforcing what the parent comment is saying (which may have been your intention but I was a little unclear on that)

Yeah, my wife studied animal science in undergrad and is now getting a graduate degree in animal behavior and welfare. Oddly enough she wasn't vegetarian but talking to her made me go real vegetarian real fast (and I'm almost vega

I think a lot of people do blame the laws, that's why they want to change the tax laws to make this sorry of dodging harder.

There's a pretty big leap. Can you explain your reasoning a little more because I don't understand why it would logically follow, the answer to your question seems a simple "no" to me.
