A tax haven is a nation with low to no taxes, where foreigners can operate for tax purposes. The term you are looking for, and almost had, was "tax avoidance". Tax avoidance is per…

Now imagine he was offered 6 months pay to not show up ever again!

And you just presumed everyone on that list was in the "down" group. Why?

You might want a little self-reflection about that last sentence and how it paints you as precisely the sort of person that others are rightfully worried about.

There are more important things than money. Having your name dragged through the mud, having people presume you are a disgusting sexist before they have even met you, these are thi…

Comments do not fall on a spectrum between "absolutely sexist" and "absolutely not sexist". Comments exist as fixed points in space, and the observers fall on a spectrum of "absolu…

The problem being highlighted here isn't bad communicators. The problem is good communicators being incentivized out of communicating. It says something about you that you could no…

Imagine if the person in charge of AI Ethics converted to a fundamentalist Christian sect. Their ethics changed and now they think LGBT people should be discriminated against expli…

Yes, ethics is agnostic to one's personal convictions when it is your job. Same as how defense lawyers leave their personal sense of justice out of their jobs. Same as how sports r…

One line, one idea. That's the goal. Your eye doesn't need to move if you can get the information you need from the first 30 characters. Two lines, one idea. That's a recipe for co…

> Redemption is to just try not to be a jerk. Motte and Bailey. Telling people you aren't a racist and didn't mean the thing they consider to be racist in a racist way is in no way…

"Fake news" was first used in the 17th century. Today, it is a term deployed by President Trump against news outlets he doesn't like. But he didn't invent the term. He heard it fro…

Perhaps, but wouldn't a better example be the actual purity spiral occurring in open source?

> The very term "social justice warrior" is an invention of the reactionary right. No, it wasn't. It was invented by the Left, unironically. They would call themselves Social Justi…

Feminism wasn't just standing around doing nothing. Grifters and frauds exploited feminism and attacked games and game players. Feminists fell for the grifters and fraudsters grift…

> I think most people agree racism exists and is bad. Sure, by the definition of racism that you and I would use. But not by the one that's been weaponised in these purity spirals.…

It's real. And it's spectacular.
