    You've said over and over again how you don't want to talk about the subject, yet you keep replying. I'm just making sure people understand this isn't the strategy of someone who k…

    Morality is what separates us from animals. The suggestion right and wrong don’t exist is the real tyranny. It's what evil people say to do evil things.

    This isn’t a debate, this is me getting you to reveal how little weight you have behind what you believe. This is useful because if anyone else reads this, they will get a pretty s…

    That’s true, but it’s not what I said. It seems like you may need to reread what I wrote in order to respond to it, but then again it’s probably easier for you to pretend to misund…

    But you seem utterly incapable of justifying those beliefs to others... Your beliefs are worthless to everyone else if you can't explain them, and no all you've done so far is decl…

    "Because I believe differently than you, there isn't much to discuss." is a terrible way to convince others of your belief. You're presupposing your conclusion and seem completely …

    No, what I disagree with is his inconsistency, and also his manipulatability by the Russians, who allegedly told him a nuclear war would erupt if he didn't do what they said. What'…

    A better comment would attempt to explain why is my point. Thus far, you've been insistent on refusing to explain yourself or being open to alternative views.

    I couldn't disagree more strongly; you will screw this up if you roll your own. The only secure option is to push as much as possible outside of your infrastructure. The concerns t…

    That’s even worse! I would try to avoid a library with a function that fragile.

    Where did I suggest such a thing? And everything discussed is consent driven anyway. It’s not like a smart phone is mandated.

    …the whole thread you’re replying to is about it not actually being necessary. To participate in this conversation you either accept that premise or disagree with it, passing it as…

    The smell here is in the library, is the commenter's point. The solution would be to search for a better written library.

    You can genuinely believe something insulting. And for what it's worth, I don't think you genuinely believe this. It's much more likely you're using a pathos appeal, as your logos …

    That's your choice! But suggesting everyone operate on a substantially less convenient basis due to your specific desires for privacy seems... selfish.

    I’m so far left wanting for an app that gives me a way to easily track and consume newly published work of a given topic. The existing apps are not great, and maybe this change wil…

    What percent of users would agree with you, in your estimation?

    I opt in to Apple’s work, whereas Beeper Mini was done on my behalf, which is the striking difference.

    I actually read a whole book on the weaponization of human rights, and how some groups portray their cause as “noble” to get around the sticky questions such as motive and self-ben…

    You want to change your location in every app manually, even when your device has a GPS receiver installed?
