Is there no ethical argument to be made that the domain would better serve the car company? Domain names are a limited resource, is it more ethical to practice "first is right" ethics?

It's quite a stretch to go from banning LGBT searches to death penalties for those same people. The west bans information all the time that it deems dangerous, our value system is just different. I would argue our value system is vastl

No, it's their job to protect consumers. It is not their responsibility to make moral judgements on assets.

and which other spot ETFs are held to this standard? Proving a negative isn't something I'm aware of other ETFs being made to do.

You can buy ETFs for all sorts of commodities, currencies and securities. No matter which umbrella bitcoin falls under, there are numerous etfs that can be be compared, right? Why is bitcoin or crypto special here? Is it the SECs job to mak

Let me get this straight. There was very little evidence and the evidence we did have didn't point to Iraq, but they were a legitimate suspect? You have to realize how this sounds, but I'll keep an open mind to interpreting what y

What are you talking about? There never was, nor has there ever been evidence that Hussein orchestrated 9/11 attacks and Rumsfeld mentions targeting him specifically even in light of only having evidence that bin Laden was involved. Pl

Rumsfeld had openly started planning for attacks on Iraq within 5-6 hours of the pentagon being struck by flight 77.

Well let's test this theory out then. Would you say I was being ridiculous if I told you that the number of people who drown in a year is linked to how many movies nicolas cage appears in? If so, then you might not actually believe lin

I know a handful of heavy smokers that have been off cigarettes and now only vape, varying from being off cigarettes for many years to a few months.

Was this supposed to be sarcasm? Filters did save a ton of lives. Are you suggesting cigarette smoking would've went away if no one created filtered cigarettes?

hmm, I'm not sure I'd agree that those things are irrelevant. Maybe it's a subjective understanding of whether a community is more likely to use those context clues to engage more personally and develop relationships or if th

I'd be very surprised if profile pictures didn't have a large impact. Anything you can do to make one end of a conversation seem more human would (I suspect) have large implications in how the other end engages/reacts. Withou

interesting. I grew up on IRC as well, but my takeaway from IRC is that people have a very hard time treating others with decency without visual indicators like a profile picture. I did very much appreciate how many people were on IRC just

you can build GUIs on top of IRC that abstract away from all of this and still use the underlying protocol. I am curious what you think a better alternative would be for moderation, though. It's easy to point out flaws in all moderated

that's an interesting point, but in practice I don't see how it's meaningful. If you write down a plus code and end up in a similar area, you contact the person with the address and figure it out without much issue. If you c

neither this nor w3w are as useful as googles already open source https://maps.google.com/pluscodes/ in my opinion. With plus codes you can both have a short, memorable address and gauge relative distance with other ne

I agree, unionization at face value seems to be a great tool to empower workers. As for reciprocity I don't think anyone is suggesting it's perfectly balanced. If you're using that phrasing as a device to suggest it's ex

If you're an employee at spacex and Musk uses internal communications to say something you don't like, you can leave spacex, which would be a consequence for musk's actions. So your point doesn't hold. He is not immune f

I think you say that with some amount of snark, but both sides of the argument agree with this. It isn't controversial to say twitter isn't legally or socially obligated to give you a platform to practice free speech. The fact Mus
