Are you implying you can't trust someone if you ask for their identity before making a transaction/trade/deal?
Yup, here are a number of articles on the subject https://leastauthority.com/blog/debunking-the-nothing-to-hid... https://www.techrepublic.com/blog/it-security/why-nothing-to...…
Apparently on this site it does. I had a conversation where I made a joke about Alexa glasses spying on us all in public instead of just in the privacy of people's homes now and got downvoted to oblivion because…
I went to a highscool where there were about 20-30 International Baccalaureate Diploma candidates and about 1200 students in regular, honors, and a handful of AP classes. My junior and senior year I was in all IB…
-None of the workers received a copy of their work contract – a violation of Vietnamese law. -Women work under high noise levels that exceed Vietnamese regulatory limits. -All workers reported extreme fatigue and…
Yes, I always find it funny that when veganism/vegetarianism is discussed on this site there are always people that say they hate vegan/vegetarian food because it is bland, flavorless, tastes worse than food with meats,…
>Wouldn't that literally mean that as soon as you're successful/make money you're not a punk anymore I'm not involved in the punk scene at all, but a lot of people essentially feel this way about underground hip-hop,…
I'm out of the loop, but isn't this the same kind of affirmative action that makes it more difficult to be accepted into elite universities as a white male? I was under the impression that this kind of discrimination…
>people who own semi-auto, clip fed tactical rifles and support the second amendment are all rednecks. Another, very reasonable read is that rednecks exist, and some of them support 2A and own murder guns Wow, it sounds…
I hate having to work in an office almost as much as I hate commuting. I've certainly never felt like I was "missing out"
If there was more to your initial comment I could have said more, but you essentially said 'whatabaout you having a smartphone' and that was it. The sole argument was fallacious, and there was nothing more I could reply…
I usually hand them my card and ID right when they walk up, so I guess I've never experienced this
If you're going to say I can't care about my privacy in relation to Alexa because of some other unrelated privacy concern then yes, it would be a whataboutism and I would call you out on it, as I would in any debate,…
>I adhere a philosophy that holds human flourishing as the standard for all things Says the guy saying I should kill myself if I really care about the environment... the irony
Wow, you sound like a major, self centered narcissist at the very least. There is nothing special about having children, and there is nothing you can learn that I cannot. If you really do have children I feel bad for…
>1. How do you know what harvesting takes place I'm basing my assumption on the wealth of information already available about Amazon and Alexa >2. IF it is occurring, how has the status quo changed? As I already said,…
>"Whataboutism, also known as whataboutery, is a variant of the tu quoque logical fallacy that attempts to discredit an opponent's position by charging them with hypocrisy without directly refuting or disproving their…
No, not at all. That's a straw man argument. I never said that the product has always-on data mining and you're attempting to use that to invalidate my initial comment. If you have any genuine, logical arguments let me…
It absolutely is a whataboutism. I am talking about Amazon Echo glasses. If I chose to use a smartphone that negates all other privacy concerns in my life? By carrying a smartphone I'm not allowed to care about my…
Ok... I don't remember bringing up smart phones Here's some reading: https://www.merriam-webster.com/words-at-play/whataboutism-o... When your entire argument is based on a very basic, widely used logical fallacy no one…
Perfect! Make sure you speak up so the AI can understand you and Amazon doesn't have to hire more poorly treated minimum wage employees to listen and figure out what you're saying
Nice whataboutism edit: I guess the HN hive mind disagrees with my point. Just FYI if someone says they care about their privacy and don't want to use a product because of privacy concerns, and your counter argument is…
For your own comfort and convenience perhaps. For the environment and your health a car is almost always worse in every dimension
Wonderful, now my data can be harvested wherever I go instead of just in the privacy of my own home
This is a major oversimplification that is not at all feasible for most people. Sure, I could theoretically get an engineering position at Amazon, buy one of the highly desirable multimillion dollar properties within…
