malms··on Chinese military entering Shenzen, just across the border with Hong Kong
> Responsibility for justice.

That's one of the most stupid politically correct ideas of the modern times. Thinking descendants of perpetrators owe anything to descendant of victim fails to account that, in most cases, the victims would actually have done the same than th eperpetrators had they be in the similar position of power (see slavery / natives vs europeans). It's bullshit. It's human nature that people abuse people. It's never a race/ people / specific group issue.

malms··on What you may have heard about the dispute between UC and Elsevier

malms··on What you may have heard about the dispute between UC and Elsevier
I agree with you but that's none of my point.

My point is just that you have to weight the cost: it provided tremendous value through the system of journals, while not really giving a "real" drawback since everyone in research who has ever wanted to get a given paper in the past 5 decades has been able to find it despite the locking by trying hard enough to bypass it.

i don't even understand the downvotes: i don't agree with the system and Elsevier can die but my point is just that they never were a really tangible "problem". Mostly a "1rst world problem".

malms··on What you may have heard about the dispute between UC and Elsevier
She's a superstar now, could make money from ad or bribes with no personal risk. I would have done the same
malms··on What you may have heard about the dispute between UC and Elsevier
It's not a "problem". elsevier has been creating actual value for years. It's becoming a problem now precisely because we think they are creating more problems than value.

It's always the value market which dictates what happens. Even a dictator has provide values for enough people (not necessarily its citizen) to stay in power.

> If you believe your system is better, then you really should not have to actively participate in fighting opposing systems of belief. Forcing it through just shows that you are motivated by self interest, and not a core belief in the superiority of your own values.

Uh why ? I think it's exactly the opposite

malms··on Police in Canada Are Tracking People’s ‘Negative’ Behavior in a ‘Risk’ Database
you are missing the truth and goal of such an article. people here think they are a counterpower to evil actors with their keyboards. The truth doesn't matter and you are going into the sense of enabling police instead of being acting as a counter power.

(just explaining the downvotes)
