Agree - there's nothing that stops you from asking for more. Even if you don't get it now, it sends a signal that you will expect more $ later. But, if you are really satisfied wit…

How would this prevent it from being a Ponzi scheme? Ponzi schemes do keep paying out, for as long as they are growing.

The concept that one person impulsively changed their mind is not correct. The board of Tesla will have agreed the plans.

I’d wager instead: the price of all crypto goes down. Tesla buys into some unknown proof-of-stake coin.

The perfect cover for a pump-and-dump scheme.

I find it important to identify that yes, a license is required to use someone else’s code - I mean this legally, not morally: you can be sued. The sibling points about trademark l…

I'm not sure I deserve to be so downvoted for this, considering this clarification came after my comment ;(

The Hatetris code doesn’t appear to have an open source license, or any license, so it isn’t open source. This use of the code is a clear legal breach of copyright, in the absence …

The messaging above is good because the animal suffering morality angle is implied without needing to be stated. If you haven’t been convinced by decades of animal cruelty messagin…

Do you mean being a victim, or being helpless? I am a victim of a crime - I need to take the required action to get legal retribution. Saying “I am not a victim” does nothing to he…

As an adult, any service provider can claim that you agreed, when you signed up to a service, to give away your personal data. It’s presented as a contract mutually agreed between …

> Chances are your quality of life will only get worse etc. The quality of your end of life gets (on average) much worse if you smoke. Not only do you die 5 minutes earlier, but yo…

> According to this logic, anyone who works in the subway should be dying, what, 10 years earlier? Which is obviously not happening. On the contrary, that sounds extremely credible…

This grammatical structure in English is make + object + bare infinitive, e.g. “make it happen”. https://www.englishgrammar.org/bare-infinitive-2/

This is a normal style guide that every publishing company has, not a “banned words list”.

> the complexity of a problem like this, algorithmically, legally and ethically. I disagree with the framing of this as "complexity" when it's really "Facebook's profits would be r…

My belief is simply that there is no such evidence. Reasonably convincing evidence, to me, would be: - genetic precursor virus particles which have died and no longer exist - they …

> a) should have been likely Given that coronavirus would not be observable until there is a cluster of symptomatic cases in a city (and a doctor with relevant experience who can o…

The article here also appears to significantly contradict itself. The headline says "Food Got Wasted — Mostly at Home" but the article seems to say that this applies to "food avail…

The UK has already allowed open immigration from Hong Kong, specifically in response to the Chinese National Security Law, but I'm not sure that this is really any solution.

The genetic code itself is reasonably comparable to ASCII in complexity - every 6 bits is the code for one amino acid in a string, which will fold itself into the required protein.…

I think it's substantially different. Initial outbreaks of viruses occur geographically at random (with China having a >1/6 chance); the fact that there are significant UK, South A…

I agree with this - having watched the trailer and played the demo, Factorio looks to me like a game of managing logistics of transporting resources around, featuring a conveyor be…
