Some of it is for support reasons.

The way I read it, it was more about using news to cover these stories, save the feelings of celebrities for tabloids and twitter.

90% of the article is about the stats being wrong.

This is basically an ad hominem attack.

The US's last third party president was George Washington.

He seems to be addressing a specific claim, that loneliness is an epidemic and trending up, which doesn't seem to be the case. Sensationalized news is deception and in that sense, not news.

I think it's a fundamental principle, but definitely not the only one. For example it is also a monopoly on violence.

Not in a two party system. Voting for anyone that deviates from the status quo is throwing away your vote.

More like coerced, there is no option.

UBI will only be truly implementable when we have robots automating everything.

Seems kinda useful, to group knowledge regarding computers & the internet, and how they impact other industries.

But cash still exists as a potential threat right?

> bitcoin markets is a pretty significant negative externality

You know for a fact the benefits of bitcoin outweigh the positives? Could you share some of this data perhaps?

That's ridiculous, of course bitcoin has value.

It is because users aren't linked to their bitcoins, it is however very traceable.

Cash is anonymous as well. Exchange of cash can be anonymous.

And just because something can be used in a harmful way, doesn't mean it should be illegal.

Seriously, people act like verbal communication is the only way office workers can communicate.

Like natural selection at a cultural level.

Wouldn't you expect to see some states to not comply then?

Interesting case law the above poster is referencing I think: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_Dakota_v._Dole

Notably one of the dissenting judges said this: "establishment of a minimum drinking age of 21 is not sufficiently related to interstate highway construction to justify so conditioning funds appropriated for that purpose."

It did however pass the supreme court at 7-2.

I have the same, Raspberry Pi with kodi pulling from a samba share on an ubuntu server.

That always seemed wrong to me, isn't politics about the separation of powers, why do we allow them to exert control like that?

I'm pretty sure almost is just hedging, you can say it about whatever you like really, it makes your point seem like it's saying more than it's not.

In my opinion anime tends to be less childish, and better done than american animation. The sexualization is a bit concerning, but I think that's just different cultural values.

Wouldn't this cause the US to just end up subsidizing medicines for other countries?

I think patents are anti-capitalistic, perhaps we should just get rid of them.

I don't think Tolkein was a Marxist.

What is the right word, to me ethics determines if something is good or bad, which I think is what you were trying to say.

The Streisand effect

The Streisand effect is the phenomenon whereby an attempt to hide, remove, or censor a piece of information has the unintended consequence of publicizing the information more widely, usually facilitated by the Internet. It is an example of psychological reactance, wherein once people are aware that some information is being kept from them, their motivation to access and spread it is increased. [1]

To be fair, they're kinda similar too. Both provide health care to biological organisms. Of course human doctors will probably have better training.

The ethics of it is the interesting part though, if there's a reason we should not do something it should be discussed.

So it's ok to force someone to talk to a human, but not a computer?

Why is it unethical?

The title is pretty deceptive, it seems to claim the study finds a link between cellphones and cancer.

Although the group did apparently comment on cellphones as a thing to investigate.

> Last night the group said the increasing rate of tumours in the frontal temporal lobe “raises the suspicion that mobile and cordless phone use may be promoting gliomas”.
