Thank you for that, felt pretty good to go over. Forgive me for extracting a few isolated paragraphs for a comment here: "These characters come to life like the Karamazov brothers—…

May or may not need to get clarified: if you've got a functional tool, it's probably getting crawled and picked apart now. If it's at all useful for what you're intending, that's p…

It's nicer to respond quicker than not, but you probably deserve a more thought-out answer than I'm willing to provide just now. The kind of question you've asked, it usually answe…

So I heard you wanted to make things just a little bit worse out there edit: it's cool and you're pretty cool for doing it, and there's not much consent involved when it comes to c…

The article is focused on robotic automation of menial tasks, primarily in industrial settings (factories, warehouses), not automation of judgements which could be subject to bias.…

Both law enforcement and correctional officers are trained in similar facilities with similar skills emphasized, and both physical and verbal techniques are part of that. Emphasis …

Bingo.

The common phrase is "If you don't like it, don't get locked up." Most people don't get to pick and choose when they wind up in the wrong situation. It isn't just criminals that ge…

Let it be known: jail is not prison. Short-term incarceration (less than two years, and that's not an arbitrary figure) leads to much different conditions than long-term incarcerat…

Kudos on thinking this through. There's many ways in which a dystopian automated system of surveillance and justice would be preferable, but society tends to love organizing its ow…

Civil commitment actually results in this. Repeat sex offenders are effectively jailed for life.

Bin-go... It's pretty sad that many other companies and jobs with "independent contractor" status but continually exploitative conditions have slipped under the radar. Newspaper ca…

Read a little more carefully: I update when I want my laptop tied up with an inconvenient process. Scheduled, not never at all .

Am I the only one who leaves the Windows Update service entry disabled under the "services" settings? Seriously, it's that simple. I check once a week, tops.

You put the mood into words quite elegantly. I just couldn't find a way to explain it so thoroughly... It's terrible when this happens in person, such a painful way to agree and ye…

"move on"

What strawman?

The point, though it's clear that you're belligerent enough to avoid understanding it, is that there's plenty of exceptions to the specific point of view you're trying to put forwa…

This. Is. What. The. Article. Is. Telling. People. To. Do.

I'm starting to understand your position a little better. You're against someone being open when they disagree with something, whether or not their position is valid? That's a litt…

So you don't report bugs?

There's nothing caustic about self-censoring when your view isn't worth the headaches it might give others. In terms of development, you have to respect the views of your teammates…

Your "(1)" is, by the very definition of the concept, "picking your battles." This is because you aren't pushing issues. The whole article is about making a way more important, but…

"Not every battle is going to be a winning one, and understanding when to challenge a teammate and when to hold back is a skill that can only be developed with practice. The battle…
