I agree that there's definately a need for more dialogue. >Then there's I think a unique angle to this specific case. If you're going to work for Lockheed Martin or Blackwater you at least know what you're getting into.…
I'm not sure why you're so dismissive of moral relativism in this context when it's incredibly relevant. Someone who believes that developing and exploring this technology will enable us to save the lives of soldiers…
>I must have missed the democratic discussion about private businesses assisting in killing people at all, a duty traditionally exercised by states. I'm not sure if you're criticizing that this happens at all or if…
>You start by saying how a personal care assistant is rather unspecialized work and then go on to ruminate on the peculiarities of the job that most people wouldn't want to deal with. Correct. Being willing to endure…
Those numbers make sense at a glance. A truck driver, despite the popular image, more closely resembles specialized work than un-specialized. There are specific skill and documentation requirements to become a Truck…
From a systemic perspective, we can't correct for bad science until better science disproves it and becomes common enough knowledge. Unless you're both a parent and a cutting edge scientist in the field being employed…
I don't agree. I think that while it can be difficult to defend every instance of a patent or a particular implementation of patent law, this doesn't mean that every patent is bad or that the concept of patents is bad…
The only two words that are beyond what's taught in highschool in those quoted passages are "indemnify" and "pursuant" neither of which is actually too complex to understand from a cursory google search. The sentence…
Is there a reason why it's such a binary choice though? I understand why a master tradesman would take a big pay hit. But what makes it so difficult to have a tiered system where pros train midlings who train lowbies…
This was my feeling too. I don't want to live in a world where everyone is expected to freely give away their data, but if I can do it voluntarily to get get a deal as good as MoviePass then that's a win/win to me. It's…
It can be used as an argument against both. But that's irrelevant to a discussion about what the presentation of this evidence says to a jury.
He may not have claimed it, but when you stand in front of a jury and say something to the extent of "I'm an expert in knot analysis. This is the analytic system I employed to reach this particular conclusion" the…
I was using the term "argument" in the more broadly applicable but also literal sense of the word. Your explanation is correct but you've either misunderstood what I was saying or I've misread your reply.
To be pedantic, I can attest that in California drivers ed they teach you that it's safest to keep with the flow of traffic. The difficulty is in proving that traffic was going as fast as you.
Do you have any basis for that belief? It seems equally plausible that he wanted as much as possible going to the foundation in order to optimize its philanthropic potential.
This is a pretty solid description of the situation. I take adderall at the moment and I've been on adhd meds since a little before highschool. College was funny when I went to parties because I'd see people taking…
I might be jaded but this sort've depends on your point of view. I grew up in San Diego, would weekend with friends in LA, and I've got family across the country. Most large cities that don't have overly deadly weather…
>Trying to tie this into "human trafficking" is a cruel diversion, just like pornography, terrorism, and drugs. More than that, it's downright frustrating. Human trafficking is a very real problem in America. It's not…
I agree that some things in academia are overly fenced off from the influence of an educated everyman but I don't think that applies in this scenario. The article is specifically about how the student recognized a…
I agree and this is why I would argue in favor of parallelism rather than replacement with regard to private social media platforms. I think it's important that there is a platform insulated from domestic intervention,…
I've always wondered if after a certain point the numbers quit mattering and it's more about the principle of doing good, which is to say optimal not necessarily ethical, business.
I could have been clearer, I'm aware they're a private company and under no particular obligation to the preservation of free speech principles. My point was that if we're comparing hosting your own site to operating on…
My main complaint with reddit is that there's no real guidance on how to not get a controversial sub banned. It seems like the rule of thumb is don't get discovered by a social justice movement or a major publisher. Not…
1/3 is a wildly inaccurate number that only comes close to holding true if you don't include our non-obligatory spending which is massive.
I've seen this idea play out in a differen't industry and if your claim resembles something legitimate then it has promise. The only reason I say legitimate is because in the version I was privy to it was a disgruntled…
