But what is human liberty?

The problem here (as I see it) is that the definition of liberty is very subjective, and yet people make arguments like yours based on the premise that their personal definition of liberty is an objective truth.

That is not true.

The only valid point you could make here is that the swedish legal system defines a broad range of "non-consentual things related to sex" as rape, where it would get defined as something else in other countries.

> Stand up for journalists. Real journalists.

Are you trying to imply that assange is a journalist?

I have no opinion about what is the most likely scenario, but:

Using really far-fetched nazi symbols in campaigns seems like a smart move if you want maximum attention and for your opponents to call it out, and then most people going: "?? whats nazi about a triange??".

maybe the problem here is "american left" vs "other countries left".

In "other countries left" the left tag is defined by this topic (and this topic alone).

So, for someone not from america, your statement is a bit weird...

How could this even be a question?

Either you block ads or you don't know that you can block ads.

aaah, ok, so an internal joke then. :)

Thnx for clarifying.

I'm a bit confused by the title of the document.

draft: It's a draft

Whited: Name of author

Password storage: It's about password storage.

But "kitten" ??? what does that mean in this context? Is it "small cat"?

Thnx. When people talk about captchas I usually reply something about how google is using them for machine learning, and suprisingly often people shrug it off as a conspiracy-theory.

Why have I never just done what you did, linked to google stating that this is what it is in plain text....

i don't mind web-pages (or whatever we are talking about) having lots of fields for address, as long as i don't have to type something in all of them.

But it's super annoying when I have to make up things for fields that doesn't make any sense where I live.

There is one thing here that I don't really understand:

In the first 2 examples, it says:

"If you pop (fetch) a value from the stack, RSP decreases by 8"

But when I step through it, it seems to add 8 on a pop, not subtract (and vice versa for push), or am I missing something?

dont really know anything about this particular case, but:

Isn't it common for job applications like this to state what they "want", even if they know that it doesn't exist? (such as 3 years of experience with an 1 year old product).

Then they just hire the person who gets the closest to what they want.

I don't know enough about this to really have an opinion.

But why do you assume that he is a troll?

>Why isn't the German government making a government funded car to ruin Volkswagen or Mercedes?

I guess that's just the same question again. Does society benefit enough from everyone having access to free cars, outweigh the harm done by businesses risking bancrupcy because their product is now something that should be free? And also that other businesses start to wonder if it's their product that will be "should be free" in the future?

I wouldn't consider it inconsequent to say "yes" on the first question but "no" on the other...

It's not fair, that is true.

So I guess that the question is: Does society benefit enough from everyone having access to free weather information, outweigh the harm done by businesses risking bancrupcy because their product is now something that should be free? And also that other businesses start to wonder if it's their product that will be "should be free" in the future?

what is the definition of a public sphere?

To me twitter is just another service from a private corporation that I can choose to use or not. Is it "public sphere" because they make everything searchable and readable from the public internet?

What makes an account real on this platform? do you mean that the text is written by a human and not a bot?

I got the feeling that he was helping his friend at boston dynamics to create some hype for his product. But, I knew that before I watched the video, and I did enjoy watching it, so I don't mind.

wait... is this math error in the actual article? or just in the vice text?

out of curiosity, what's wrong with gdpr?

well, the party that leaked this particular info are pretty much pure crooks.

> ...for the environmental benefits.

Is tesla really considered that enviromentally friendly?

Isn't the real reason to pick a tesla over another electric car, that teslas are considered cool and give higher social status?

Don't know why I thought this was so funny, but I did. =)

I live in a country where law enforcement isn't an elected position.

Not once have I heard anyone from any political camp argue that it would be better if it was. And yes, it's not totally unknown that this is how it is in america, and therefore an option.

Sure, this isn't much of an argument against elected law enforcement, but calling it "extremely important" is a bit of a stretch...

what's wrong with it taking 2 weeks for news to be reported in other parts of the world?

Do we really need to know what is going on on the other side of the planet right now? Isn't it better to have correct information rather than fast information?

not op, but I think OP is talking about: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychoanalysis

and not: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychotherapy

Interesting article. Thnx for the link.

america uses a first past the post voting system. Please don't assume that every form of democracy has the same problems.

if i search for <something> in ddg and then do "!b <something>" (the !bang for a bing search), I don't get the same results.

just wanted to say that I like your take on this, good and positive advice.

this sounds a lot like "new public management" to me:
