hmm, thanks for the reply, I'm not sure I fully grasp the parallels of parents acting in the best interest of their family and abusing elderly or the disabled, but I can appreciate a perspective that finds child labor to be a net loss

the rapid growth of wealth being closely (in timeline) associated with a decrease in child labor would suggest that wealth decreases child labor, not that the decrease of child labor increases wealth - as the mechanism for growth via childr

I'm sorry to see you disagree with me so strongly that you're unwilling to have a conversation. I hope you'll consider respecting your peers enough in the future to engage in conversation rather than dismissing their opinions

got any examples of child labor leading to prolonged poverty? South Korea had tons of child labor just a generation ago and they quickly became a highly developed nation with maybe among the best healthcare in the world.

Do you think there's the possibility that families are kept out of severe poverty because their children can be utilized to earn the family money? Do you think lowering the options for families will increase their quality of life? If

Do you deem there to be a difference since presumably the children's parents love the child but still choose to have them work? Again, I don't believe child labor is ideal, but I do wonder if there's really a comparison to s

Was there ever a time where child labor was acceptable? Now I'm not in touch with all the logistics here, but if I were growing up in a country where I had the option of starving or sending my kids off to work I know what I would be ch

I'll agree that edge cases can prevent anything from being reasonable or fair, but we can't let perfect be the enemy of good here. I think we're making progress every day towards enabling everyone to have more choice (on ave

It's not practical until it is - having your internet shutoff isn't practical either, but with that barrier put into place a lot of things become quickly more practical, relatively speaking.

I have a 4700u, some device issues at first (touchpad, namely) that work now (as is the case with all brand new laptop models) - AMD cpus are beasts though - can't wait until they start putting them in higher build quality laptops.

I can't speak for OP, but I can say that OP never said non-competitive behavior isn't worthwhile. The question being answered is how to increase salaries, not how to make something worthwhile.

I mean there's no way parler (up until recent growth explosion) was pulling in more than 1MM - with 30 employees I doubt they could afford to pay moderators. It's not fair to judge a small company by the same standards as establi

why would you take anyones word for anything? I'm sympathetic to the underdog that's being targeted so I have my bias, but I have a hard time watching any platform (I've never used parler) get targeted because of politics. I

You think parler is a site of thugs because that's all you've seen. Just the same way you don't understand twitter to have tons of thugs because of what you've seen. More people have been killed and linked to #killallm

I'm not sure how you're reading that - it's clearly showing they were trying to delete everything but the backlog was outpacing their ability to moderate. As I said, moderation is hard.

The lawsuit parler filed states they deleted every piece of content (and more) that AWS brought to their attention. Moderation is hard.

in parlers lawsuit they state that they deleted every post AWS brought to their attention on top of other posts they moderate. If you read their policy pre-DC riots you'll see they very clearly have content moderation strategy explicit

After a quick search, yes there is at least one incident of a woman who killed a boy and stated that she wanted to kill all men. There may be more, I haven't spent much time on the subject, either way the definition of incitement doesn

by toolz 6y ago
I would suggest in this specific incidence they are enforcing it very consistently in that they aren't punishing anyone for inciting that particular type of violence.
953.
by toolz 6y ago
To directly answer your question, I would say no - however it is ideological activism to only enforce those ToS for specific services. The #killallmen hashtag has trended more than once on twitter, for example.

There isn't any science there, just conjecture from the government on how their restrictions will alter social behavior. It's rather mind blowing to me after seeing extremely well funded and massive projects like the war on drugs

I think this high level of certainty is basically just the governments way of acknowledging they are terrible at gathering/defining useful metrics and so with a wide margin there's very little room for error on the politicians par

but should our legal system prosecute those hackers that didn't break any law on the books? I'd argue they shouldn't - sure some of the bad guys get put away, but so to do good* guys because of the legal precedent being follo

bitcoin uses less resources than traditional banking. I think people should stop judging it in a vacuum and instead speak in relative terms. If energy use is a concern then fiat is the greater offender. https://bitcoinist.com&#x2

It might be counter productive to think it'll get better if people can just assume social media sites will ban/flag misinformation correctly. Maybe only lower profile stuff will slip through, but the volume of misinformation will
