If it was a regular thing, perhaps. In this case it's collateral damage and not policy. Hanlon's law applies here -- it's far more likely to be incompetence than malice. There are plenty of other negative reviews on that game

One off incidents don't reflect evidence of increasing censorship. There is little to no evidence that this IS censorship and not an attempt to mitigate misinformation that has gone awry. Some level of moderation is important on this a

This is a complete different problem. The theory in the case of youtube was that the collective downvoting was in someways spurred by being able to see the total. They didn't remove the ability to downvote, just the reward for doing so

I'm stuggling to make sense of your points. To the extent that I can't tell whether you're coming down on steam or not. But one thing that isn't relevant here is the "free market". The "free market" r

I think you're wrong in this case, I think it refers to honour killings[0]. I'm not sure it's got any substance as a theory, but it's what the GP was suggesting. [0]: https://www.bbc.co.uk/ethics/hon

Heh, it's a literal meaning of crime adjacent (presuming that the person in the actual target apartment was actually guilty). I suspect anyone that was an early adopter of crypto is somewhat considered crime adjacent because so much of

Let's game this out. Bob and Alice are the first parties. You trade in cash, in person, probably in a public place. Say that Alice then gets in trouble for the drug dealing they also do (or maybe the government just pings her for not d

Yeah I remember a similar game around 2000-4(hazy on timing) called EmpireQuest[0]. All text, ticks happened every few hours. Planets, ships and alliances. Similar time investment. [0]: https://www.mmorpg.com/empirequest

Sounds vaguely like the whole pizzagate conspiracy[0] as well. I even heard when the gunman went to Comet's Pizza he was confused that it didn't have a basement, though I can't find a reference to this. [0]: https:/&#x2

Quantum computing has a similar problem, in that the error rate is high. As does untrained data entry. You can put things in place to help counter this once you know it's happening.

I don't think this is civic-mindedness at all the great depression taught us that bank runs and failures are contagious. The very purpose of FDIC is to prevent this (and other countries have similar schemes), but it can only go so far.

Deleting 'organization data' absolutely read that they would delete everything. Changing direction and back pedaling with a non-apology is borderline insulting. I understand the need to make money as a company, but it really is bi

If you're a christian then creation/young earth is very important to protect, without it you have no "fall of man" and therefore no reason for a saviour. Accepting death before sin also complicates matters significantly

I don't see how it's dodgy to craft a resume that tells the story you want to say unless you're inserting things that didn't happen. Getting a job is an exercise in sales and marketing. Everything I've seen about OP
