conscience

I presume the ceo uses her billions to salve her conscience.

If you're out there, think about acting on your conscience as Snowden and others did. Your position is stronger than ever.

He felt his conscience could only oppose all wars he could possibly imagine his country fighting. He could only learn that by going, not from what his government told him before going.

Let's hope their pitiful loss of morale leads them to develop a conscience, respect for the law, or whatever it takes to stop doing things that lead to feeling so bad. > “They feel they’ve been hung out to dry, and they’re right.”

If your conscience says "don't kill someone," then you shouldn't kill them. You can't absolve yourself of responsibility just because the president ordered the killing.

That was indeed a repulsive set of events by which many innocent persons were hurt and today our national conscience wishes it could take back the damage done to them. So why is this any different?

Patent trolling aside, using the law of the land to justify going against your personal conscience is a horrible idea.

I don't need a culture of "integrity" not to do evil things, I have a conscience. Nor do I need a cultural value of "innovation" to come up with new ideas -- a lot of times the pleasure of doing something well is more than enough.

Men hear about gender imbalance in technology and interrogate their conscience." Do I think women are inherently less qualified then men?

> I can think of no more fitting epitath than the final clause of the original ARC copyright statement: > "If you fail to abide by the terms of this license, then your conscience will haunt you for the rest of your life." What a stunningly vindictive and spiteful thing to say.

I must have missed the post where a VC said "Guys, sorry, love your company but I couldn't in good conscience participate in a round where the rich people get paid and the poor people are told to wait for an exit." I must have missed that post quite frequently, because that describes every VC round ever.

You really do want the elements of a contract regardless of whether this is going to be enforced by a court, a person's own conscience, reputation networks, or public shaming.

Individuals can do that if they like, and that is an issue of private conscience on what one does with private wealth. But it is not meaningful, in my view, to tell entrepreneurs to run their ventures with the aim of solving social problems as opposed to that of succeeding in a marketplace.

The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience. C. S. Lewis

But it also provides evidence for the idea that most people can be easily lead into violating their natural conscience. Studies of innate "goodness" performed on children reveal that most people, from birth, have an innate moral conscience that we would consider 'good'.

Data validation could be left as an exercise for the reader in good conscience. This audience is distinctly different from those who learned programming typing code from magazines and Shaw's current audience for whom he is simulating that experience.

This didn't sit well with my conscience, and I generally believe that anything worth doing is worth attaching your name to. I'm interested in hearing about any enjoyable discoveries or even useful applications which come of this archive.

That's awful, and I join the people I see online right now in saying that I cannot, in good conscience, ever do business with a company that supports that behavior. --And to how far Adria has set back womens' rights here-- The common thread I've seen from the women I've worked with in tech has been that they really just wish people didn't even notice their gender.

Large swathes of our society think of lying, even when deceiving large swathes of the public, as a kind of sport, and profiting from such lying as a kind of serendipitous fortune to be exploited without conscience, like finding cash on the sidewalk. Such attitudes are shoved in my face when I see exclamations like, "Pictures or it didn't happen!"

The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

He responded with the typical "I couldn't in good conscience charge that for something that takes me only a few hours to do!" And then we had a long discussion about how the market sets the rate, not you, and if you hold your rate under market it will overwhelm you because you're leaving money on the table, if you don't have enough work to keep you busy then you're over market.

It shocked the conscience to the extent that people I know who are involved in government/mil/etc were discussing how they would have responded; it is basically rape under color of law. Even more amazingly, it wasn't one officer alone by the side of the road in an ambiguous circumstance; there was a judge, a DA, multiple officers from several departments, two medical facilities, etc involved.

When I heard on the same game channel where the troll battle began that the reason he disappeared for almost 3 months was because he was in jail, I gloated my victory like a fool to my hacker friends on IRC who told me from their own experience he was probably looking at being transferred to federal and doing serious time in the double digits, which I could not let happen in all good conscience, even if I absolutely hated this guy so turned myself in figuring since I was underage I could probably slide on my stupidity by transparently admitting to everything and hoping for the best. Thankfully I received the Cosmo of UGnazi crew sentence and not the Kevin Mitnic solitary confinement revenge sentence.
