No, I'm afraid it doesn't. My argument is that precisely because there is no black and white "secure" vs, "unsecure" variable, we need to evaluate any specific proposed solution against the more complex set of variables…

Not sure it's really valid to call this "official". Trump can issue an executive order to the USGS to change names in the GNIS, but the use of USGS/GNIS data as the "official" name of things outside of the federal…
Attempts by political states to attempt to nationalize the vernacular should be ignored and rejected in all cases. The examples you're citing are less ridiculous than these recent stunts, but still should be considered…
This "society" guy sure has a lot of opinions about other people's affairs.

I do, although in my particular case, I'm on an individual plan and not part of a group plan. But I acknowledge your point that this is one of the few cases where aggregations are a relevant unit of analysis, since the…

Ah, an outlier edge case! I'll go ahead and address this one while taking note that using extreme outlier examples is not a good method for testing general-case principles. In the case of child porn, the legal theory…

See point (2) above.
Basically, yeah. Classification in general is a subjective, value-laden activity. At the most granular resolution, everything is fundamentally sui generis -- putting things into classes requires making subjective…
The concept of "class struggle" epitomizes the "group vs. group war" mentality. It's a mental framework that combines ingroup/outgroup dynamics with a Manichean moral narrative, leading to literally every question being…
The people who think everything is a group vs. group war naturally interpret everything as a move within that war, including non-participants' correct observation that it doesn't really exist outside of the minds of the…

If that's true, it may bode well for the future. The AI boom creates some strong incentives for Nvidia to develop an intentional strategy for software generally and FOSS specifically, and there's a chance that could…
