"Go get more robots, Apple. Humans don’t deserve this." Fine, but how exactly will erasing the jobs help these people?

If I truly have such an absolute right to life, then the State should expend infinite resources in order to attempt to keep me alive forever. No expense should ever be spared.

This. This is the crux of the issue in discussions such as this. Of course we all want Utopia. Just because some of us have disagreements about how to get there doesn't mean that we're heartless bigots. (I'm not implying anyo

For some reason, everyone on Hacker News spells it "it's"... :-/

Don't you know? If we pretend bad things don't exist, they'll simply be wished out of existence.

It's even more accurate to say that it's named for the coffee made from the coffee beans that come from said island. ;-)

How much is too much? Not everybody prioritizes health, enjoyment, etc. in the same way. It's easy to fall into the trap of assuming that our personal values are shared by all. If you were simply expressing your opinion, that's pe

Hmm, I always figured it was just assumed that, unless otherwise specified, most well-known implementations fail with sufficiently large numbers.

We only live under those terms and conditions if we voluntarily agree to them. :)

I'm wondering... what isn't a human right these days...

My point is essentially to encourage open-mindedness about that which we don't (and possibly never can) fully understand from a materialist (as opposed to a philosophical) perspective. :)

"When you create targets, quotas, there’s a danger these get filled but not by the best people." It was a refreshing surprise to see a quote like that in an article like this!

I wonder about the interplay of this with the DMCA. I suspect that the statement that it's "legal to reverse-engineer code" may still have significant caveats... Then again (thankfully ;-), IANAL.

Sorry, I guess we're misunderstanding each other. I was simply quoting the commenter who said, precisely, that in the realm of apologetics, believers "all are extremely biased by their beliefs". Anyway, I merely intended it a

I'm aware of that. :)
