Yes, because private companies don't "loot" whatsoever. They definitely don't respond to accusations of obviously unethical and damaging but legal behaviour with "but it's legal!(c…

Are they really though? I know a lot of some people, who would consider themselves "well meaning" (fair, honest, just, whatever) and they totally do this all the time. When you com…

Can you point to the legislation that indicates this? (Curiosity)

Isn't that a cop out argument? Just make it outright illegal and fine heavily per violation. You have profile information that a user didn't explicitly give you? $10k fine, each. W…

FEAR AI is excellent: https://alumni.media.mit.edu/~jorkin/goap.html

Thanks for your reply, it was really interesting and gave me some things to think about. I agree that government intervention is not ideal, as government is also often dumb, evil o…

But the free market literally cannot exist? The free market won't bring you back to life so you can "choose a different competitor" if it kills you. That food? Bad. Dead. That tool…

Use what? The jist of your argument here feels like it's heading straight towards "you are against foo, but you still bar, hmm interesting" meme.

My main criticism is unfettered and immoral capitalistic behaviour. That doesn't automatically mean I want to replace it with a different unworkable -ism.

I would happily pay for all of the services I use. The problem is that that isn't enough for them and it would still be an capitalistic greed anti-consumer shit show. If I pay I wa…

Isn't there an app that lets you take/provide a photo of somebody's face and get their VK profile?

Question: Can I write my own assistant on mobile devices that is an actual assistant? As in, can listen for the key activation word in the background? Like the "official" assistant…

Half on-topic: Is there an API on Android that allows you to write your own assistant with your own keyword set without sending everything over the wire? An app with microphone per…

In the same vein, are there not a worryingly amount of adults with actual "adult responsibilities" that think conspiracy theories, failed political ideologies and screaming batshit…

Yes it does have those impacts, which is why medical intervention instead of criminalisation should be the norm.

Hi! Thanks for your thoughts, they are really interesting. Do you have any examples of your Houdini to game content or could you recommend any good learning resources for using Hou…

As another person who mostly wants to be left the fuck alone as well: One of the internet's greatest gifts is the ability to communicate with so many people you would otherwise hav…

What would some recommended reading about saving for retirement? For example, I have a healthy amount of savings but none is invested and it sits in an account doing nothing (@ 0.1…

So where should morals come from? If not from governance or education? (Honest question).

Isn't that article misleading though? For example the motorcycle messengers had "instantaneous communication" iirc.

Is that a good or fair argument though? I get paid and pay 20% then 40% on the rest (banded)... Then as soon as I buy practically anything I'm taxed another 20% on top of that. A c…

Statistically, the older you are in the UK the more conservative you are. It's something like 17% 18-28 but 75% 60-70. The privacy worries are weird. In my experience this is the s…

What is the employment market like for Ada?

As someone who spent a lot of time in London I hope he is correct about the track capacity released for local trains once the intercity move to the new lines. Two stopping trains p…

That makes lots of sense. Do you have any examples of sprouting plants that so this? I'm guessing ones we consider poisonous?
