> Companies should have the right to pick whoever they want whatever method they please.
I bet you think you sound intelligent when you say that, keepin' it real, being objective, and everything. "Life should be a meritocracy!" screams person who is too unfamiliar with history to notice how humans have never achieved a meritocracy in societies with zero laws barring discrimination throughout history. But if you spend two seconds thinking about it, what you're saying is fucking dumb. Companies can pick whoever they want so long as they obey the law, one of which is not discriminating against gender, race, and other factors, because to let them pick whoever they want would be stupid enough to think that a "leave the companies alone" market discourages or prevents discrimination. Never has, never will.
I like the way you make points. You just say stuff, and it sounds right to you, so it must be a good theory. Because you're smart, and you see the world the way it is.
Your front door can be broken into. Yet you still lock it, because doors are useful and the pragmatic likelihood that somebody will break down your door is a lot lower than somebody walking into it unlocked. The real question I have to wonder if what do hackers have to gain from hacking a car? If the barrier to entry is high enough, there are plenty of easier ways of causing people harm, stealing the car, or whatever other police-procedural fantasy crime you can think of.
If you ask the "right" people, apparently the barn has been "fully engulfed and about to collapse" for thousands of years now. Shit happens, we fix the shit, and try to get it as right going forward as is reasonably possible. The way people talk, it's like some kind of massive collective failure that will bring about the end of days *any day now* that humans are not perfect.
Filtering some keywords on Instagram is not tantamount to allowing people to create their own little universe. I dunno, unless you have some other meaning of universe than I do.
Blacks are far more likely to be criminals because they are discriminated against even before they get into the judicial system. If a teacher decides she doesn't like black kids, and puts them in detention more, would you say it is correct to state, "Black kids are far more likely to misbehave?" While you may think you've just stated a fact, unless you place it within the context of the unequal treatment to begin with, you're simply perpetuating a stereotype that is untrue (blacks are far more likely to be bad people than whites.)
They didn't sell like hotcakes, but they also didn't sell poorly enough to work as the subject of the joke you're trying to make: http://betanews.com/2016/03/08...
Well, since it's been exactly the other way around in recorded western history, I hardly think your individual situation is a national emergency. Don't be such a baby.
Well, you can prove the foreiture was unjust, and get it back, but that's a little like getting punched and then 10 years later being allowed to punch back. At that point, the goalposts have probably moved.
If it's good enough to start the car it's good enough to unlock the damned thing.
I'm glad your two seconds of thinking found such an obvious point, instead of making the rational realization that the recommendation to lock the car is because it's not actually operated by the fob ya dumbass.
Clearly, this is a slippery slope to mandating that you use the same password for everything./sarcasm
Obviously, it isn't.. for a bunch of low-importance websites, since normal people have dozens of logins at this point, you can at least share login details among similarly-ranked importance levels. And as somebody else pointed out, at least now when you regain control of a single login, you simultaneously regain control of all associated accounts rather than trusting that you're organized and have the time to go through and change them all.
So no, it is not JUST as stupid, and your entire point is predicated on the absurd notion that everyone is too dumb not to use the same login for their offshore tax haven accounts and their Reddit account except you.

I'm laughing at you right now.
Slashdot is now 85% people whining about having to open a tab and search for expository boilerplate.

A bad credit score can indicate that, if lenders are operating in good faith and not predatorily against certain groups of society.
That isn't the case, however.

It must be exhausting to be a person who assumes he can do everybody's jobs better than they can. Even more exhausting to know such a person.
Good thing you're not childish. Man, it sounds like a lot of work for some people my age.
That's just not true.
I wouldn't put much stock in what things mean to you then, because you don't seem to understand a pretty basic aspect of what's being demonstrated.
Well, since it's been exactly the other way around in recorded western history, I hardly think your individual situation is a national emergency. Don't be such a baby.
Nothing about your post is insightful. Should probably be modded "naive and reductive".
Well, you can prove the foreiture was unjust, and get it back, but that's a little like getting punched and then 10 years later being allowed to punch back. At that point, the goalposts have probably moved.
That is extremely wrong.
Product accepted! Who's up for somebody else paying for it?
And before that, there were telegrams! And before that, there was mail!
You'll show them, generating a few page views on a platform you don't want to use and not viewing the advertising! Rage Against the Machine!

People stopped having the right to expect more from journalism when they stopped paying for it.
