Hopefully the mutations will slow over time - the mutations at the moment may be the 'easy' ones.

They date back until at least 1930's with the prohibition :)

Calling the law "Arcane" doesn't change the fact it's federal law (Arcane is hyperbole anyway). You don't get to not follow laws just because they are a little old. Also you can call it a "hardline interpretati

We change reality all the time to adapt to new technology - this is why we interacted with the first computers via punch cards rather than microphones and cameras. Were we coddling computers? Kind of, but solutions have to be a combination

Agreed - the headline is misleading. The article states that it would actually be illegal for GitHub to release the data.

The answer is quite simple in all these cases - it doesn't. A self driving car shouldn't be operating on some mysterious black-box AI interpretation of the intention of (often ambiguous) hand signals from drivers and police office

This is a nice thought but applying corporate manslaughter charges in this way within government would have a raft of unintended consequences. The unfortunate reality is that governments have to make life and death decisions on a daily basi

Well he hasn’t even finished yet, so let’s wait until he is done before we blame him for stuff he hasn’t said.

iPad contains an m1 chip so that might be a similar better example.

Absolutely agree - I would label some of them "arguments" rather than logical fallacies. For instance "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" isn't a logical fallacy, it's just an idiom/argument. Also

No paid external marketing, they presumably pay staff to do everything listed.

Well clearly there is a large variety in size and scope, which is why I tried to say a “large” car plant (by which I meant reasonable complexity and manufacturing volume). Clearly you can open a very small car factory for $1 million with a
1966.
by Closi 5y ago
A modern large car plant starts at $3bn-4bn then goes up from there depending on how much of the manufacturing you are going to do yourself, so it’s more like 10% of the cost of that.

I suspect that your assumption that this facility is just to make stationary bikes might be a little off. Part of this investment is likely to be expansion of their product range.

I get this - it’s the whole “if you aren’t the consumer you are the product” piece. I like using companies where your relationship with them is obvious (ie I pay money and they give me services) rather than mysterious (Ie I use Google and t

I think they mean “how do you steer this into a profit” rather than “how do you get investment”.

Absolutely stunning - I've often wondered myself about why the terminal doesn't behave like this already, it just makes sense . My only worry would be this is obviously so great it's only a matter of time before Apple&#x2F

Statisticians might see it differently, but I still don’t think it’s obvious that (1,0) represents effectively a repeating pattern that’s extended to the size of the other vector. For instance, for the statement (a,b,c,d,e) + (a,b,c,d,e,f)

That seems to be an exceptionally mis-managed case - for instance London’s Oyster card cost approximately 10% of that about 10 years earlier. Depreciated over 10 years, that system was responsible for c2% of costs and presumably had some be

I think one flip-side argument is that this will predominantly benefit people in cities, which have much better transport infrastructure than suburban areas. Hopefully the money this costs is matched on a per-capita basis by region across t

Very true!

by Closi 5y ago
The only problem with this is that I don't personally find it obvious/intuitive that (1,0) + (1,2,3,4,5,6) = (2,2,4,4,6,6). In fact, I would probably expect the output to be (1,0,1,2,3,4,5,6).

At $0.05 per gb transfer, it would be half a penny per 100mb app download. Someone has to pay for that - at the moment Apple subsidises the free apps, presumably because they think they are good for the ecosystem. Although lets be honest he
