Granted that the innocent should not be shot. I don't think you'll find anyone to take the other side of that argument. Nonetheless, the question of "proving" guilt does not even e…

> 911 is an open API with no authentication. It cannot possibly prove guilt. Therefore, in a society which values innocence absent proof of guilt, police are bound to treat anyone …

I guess my point was, by demonstration, that nitpicking little aspects of the articles we link here is without positive value. I'd have been wiser to leave my comment unwritten, bu…

I provide my own insulation by spending much less than I make, and saving the rest. I have decades of savings at my current rate of spending. I'm about as safe as a person can be i…

Even if nobody was using scummy tactics, it'd be hard to compete. There are so many people who want to make video games. Hell, I wanted to, before I got my "boring" BigCo job. Pers…

> . . . grammatical errors.. Normally we only put one period at the end of a sentence.

In the US, cash must be accepted as payment for (edit: public ) debt. However, there is no requirement that all transactions must accept all legal tender. A business owner can refu…

Maybe people are optimizing for considerations other than their career?

You cannot use a jammer of any kind in the United States, for almost all values of you, including state and federal penal agencies. https://www.fcc.gov/general/jammer-enforcement

I wasn't trying to make a normative statement (should vs. shouldn't), just an indicative one.

I don't get paid more when CPC goes up, either. Pay is related to the value of the work done, but it is not yoked to it. An important additional factor is how much it costs to conv…

I am not assuming. The article contains evidence that it is useless vis a vis block or custom handwriting.

Of course not, but some non-zero eventual utility is a desirable trait. There are a variety of actually beneficial things children could spend their time doing, which are currently…

For example, one possible reason to sign a CLA is if you want to contribute, and the repository owner will not allow you to do so otherwise. It may be that you value contributing m…

Unfortunately, reality contains a lot of victims, and they deserve more help than they get. A realistic mindset is a mindset that is cognizant of victims. And it is untrue that thi…

You'd think that you'd work at a restaurant a little while before trying to start one. Learn the ropes a bit, etc. That has got to help with your chances of success.

Presumably each company will have their own approaches to these issues. They don't prima facie seem to be issues that require legislation. In that sense, "we" are not having a dial…

TBH, your objection seems like something that anyone would think of in ten minutes of considering pitfalls. To think that no one at Waymo (or Cruise, or Lyft, etc.) has considered …

> Do you ever find the multiplayer game inaccessible for anyone below Masters/Diamond tier? Three quarters of players are below masters/diamond, so presumably it's reasonably acces…

One time I was biking behind a man who flipped off a pickup truck after it did something inconsiderate on the road. Then driver of the truck tried to ram him and almost succeeded. …

> Do DNSs "support" every website they host? Yes, in the sense we use in the tech industry where we say we "support" a particular use case -- i.e. enable it/allow it to happen. > I…

I would definitely be less comfortable if corporations were generally taking pro-hate or anti-factual stances. But since they're generally taking anti-hate or pro-factual viewpoint…

There are plenty of options in the modern era to promulgate your views without the support of any company. You can host them on ipfs, print them out and paste them as flyers, etc. …

I hate wikileaks, but I honestly don't see the contradiction in Twitter's behavior on this point. Perhaps they were naive on whether RT was actually an aperture of Russian intellig…
