    Did you manually set those utm_source parameters?

    The idea that grammar is all it takes to process natural language is absolute beans.

    If you're doing that as part of a business, yes. If you're doing it personally, no.

    This is as ethical as it gets. They're getting compensated by being able to use the result of their work freely . This is the rising tide that lifts all boats.

    That's not at all specific. What individual files and directories?

    No, it's more healthy to start the conversation on why we allow corporations to do bad things with excuses like "just serving customer's needs"

    People are humans. Natural people are people, and therefore humans. Humans have rights because we all want to live in a society where it's not OK to murder people without consequen…

    You're trying to make sense of a broken worldview. Hopefully the absurdity is becoming clear. No, it's just a piece of paper. Yes, rights/laws/norms/etc are legal fiction. Harm is …

    Which is why elsewhere I make the argument that we should strongly reject the terminology of "people" in any relation to corporations. It leads people down bad mental thought proce…

    I'm also focused on the broader principle, not just specifically any one structure such as LLCs. I have the legal right as a person to write on a piece of paper "i am a person". Th…

    It's a dangerous game to anthropomorphize legal fictions by using terms like attributing "will" to them. Likewise by sneaking in priors with the term "people". It's best to stick t…

    You're confusing them again, which is why sneaking in priors with the term "people" is bad. "granted to them by the people" means "We The People", society, etc, not the people in c…

    Corporations don't have the right of representation, because corporations don't have rights. People have rights, and corporations are not people.

    They're not, and the terminology shouldn't be confused. "Juridical people" tries to sneak in priors about what "people" means. People, of course, have rights. Corporations are not …

    Because corporations aren't people. Full stop.

    They can vote and act in their capacity as people. They can fuck off otherwise.

    Comment #48298644

    The contradiction clears up when you realize that corporations are legal fiction without rights, merely privileges granted to them. You can act in your capacity as a person and exe…

    This is an impressively awful take, congratulations. Corporations aren't people and don't have rights or votes. If you want to have a say in the way a place is run, you can do so i…

    The article doesn't say exactly what information. Is it something that technically maybe could possibly be considered under NDA? Or something more substantial? France said: > “Each…

    That group can have the legal fiction of the corporation for liability reasons. They can also, separately, assemble as a group for political speech, each using their own rights as …

    They can do so without the protections of a corporation. You can take actions qua you as a person, and assume the liability for those actions. Or you can shield yourself behind a l…

    If that's one of the better criticisms of the book, that's a pretty good recommendation for the book. The article author clearly just doesn't like their dream being shattered.
