Not sure what you mean by “woke” but prioritizing safety at the expense of everything else is poisonous

You have the freedom to own a computer. > Refusing to do so should be criminalized on the same level as racism. Racism isn’t criminal? At least not in any country anyone wants to live in lol

Correct. I buy food from vendors on the beach in foreign countries - it has no documentation. It’s a consensual transaction I choose to engage in.

Wrong. This is not how rights work. You have the right to not provide custom software and firmware and technical documentation, the right to enforce remote attestation, and the right to refuse service to whoever you wish.

These are bad things

> Sob stories about children are always weaponized for oppression. This is common for opponents of the second amendment as well. "Think of the children!" etc etc.

Don’t forget the second amendment.

Sorry, as someone who believes in reform this is unconscionable to me. Someone reformed should be able to hold any job (exception for violent crimes of course).

How are any of those contradictory?

Violence has a specific meaning, and twisting yourself into knots in order to define things you don't like as violence is dishonest.
193.
by tt24 7mo ago
Yes, I do.
194.
by tt24 7mo ago
I don’t agree because I’m somewhat left leaning and believe in reform (except for violent crime).

Meta has made more positive contributions to society and the world than every HN commenter combined, and more than most of the other FAANGS (Amazon being the exception).

In your mind should people with criminal record be barred from holding jobs forever? At that point why not just exile them?

> planned obsolescence, single use products, nothing built to last Planned obsolescence is a conspiracy theory and there’s no evidence of it occurring at any kind of broad scale. Consumers generally prefer cheaper, less durable products,

I don’t see it as “shifting” burden onto the middle class - it’s more about shifting the burden away from the upper class, who carry a disproportionate amount of the burden. Both wealthy Americans and the middle class consume approximately

Thank god for that. I can’t imagine spending more of my limited lifespan doing more busy work

Why do the corporations pollute so much? Is it just for the love of the game?

I agree that the purpose of taxation is not to keep consumption in check. I don’t think that wealth inequality is a problem, and therefore don’t agree that taxation should be used to address it.

That’s not my argument. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with a more regressive tax scheme. Bill Gates and I consume approximately the same amount of resources. I don’t see why he should have to pay a significantly different rate than I

National sales tax would be significantly better than income tax. Per head would be even better Unfortunately replacement doesn’t seem to be on the table for anyone.

This is censorship by definition. Just say you’re pro censorship I can say that the moon is made of cheese, and if you punish me for doing so, you’re engaging in censorship, despite my claim being untrue.

Yes.

Not even remotely related to what the parent comment said.

Whoever wrote the legislation has my vote for reelection. Anything to make roads safer.

by tt24 8mo ago
Yes. They're safer than human drivers. Clearly the tradeoff is worth it.

Why are we focusing on entity A when the parent comment correctly pointed out entities B and C are not blameless either?

How is this related to what the person you’re replying to said?
