No silly, politicians specifically will exempt from such monitoring. So duh, not every single person will be monitored.

This was a once unscripted statement that she never repeated again her entire campaign. She expressed regret immediately after making it (not after losing) explaining how it was grossly generalistic but stood by that it does describe a larg

You check your banking apps multiple times each day with the frequency and unpredictability expected from messaging apps? If not that frequently or unpredictably then you could just plan to use your laptop for banking some time during the d

The left is statistically more likely to publicly endorse political violence looking at data over the past few years. The right is more likely to actually commit political violence though looking over all data over decades and that still ho

Bimodal distribution. Edgelords are amplified as is conformity. People are being pushed more and more to the opposite ends. Both conclusions can be right at the same time.

That was an absolutely lovely read. I did not think I would get so invested. However... I didn't know she died as well so the final sentence on her wiki article caught my off-guard :(

140k places you in the top 1-2% of the entire planet in earnings. I can think of 2 US companies I know of off the top of my head that deliberately hire Europeans since they get talent at a steep discount (especially if you pay them remotely

I wonder if anything would have been done if there wasn't a public uproar.

I've yet to meet anyone who thinks it a certainty in the community. Even my short-timeline friends who don't contribute to retirement savings and otherwise have clearly seen their mental health deteriorate over the stress still do

Name one other industry that has adherents that say its products will kill us all as a means to boost sales. Assuming you're actually claiming people are actually saying AI might kill us all to boost AI market share. Like this is absur

Rationalists and effective altruism have reasoning under uncertainty as cornerstones of their respective movements. There is an entire philosophical theory called deep cluelessness which is far more nuanced than just "unsure" whic

This is basically exactly the same kind of criticism the far-left throws at effective altruism (EA), except they call EA moronic hyper-capitalism that is too fixated on quantifying cause and effect with modern economic theories that it igno

Rationality also last I checked doesn't really build ought statements insofar as morality is concerned. You can use it for good or evil and still be rational. There is no contradiction in being very evil and very rational. It is easy t

And if any law ever goes after them it'll be years before any court charges them with anything. By that time the amount of money that will have been made can justify and exceed whatever fine they might expect to get in court.

G maps is surprisingly doable. Been using it as a web app for years now whenever my main map app CityMapper fails.

For traveling I have found for cities where it is available CityMapper (started by ex-Google maps devs iirc) is superior to Google Maps in every way.

Did anyone else involuntarily let out multiple expletives when they saw it and it dawned on them how hard this must have been? This is insane to me.

I don't understand how jailing CEOs doesn't place pressure on CEOs to steer a company to follow the law thereby leading to better long-term outcomes for society as a whole. It also creates an incentive structure where the corrupt

Proposition: Please promise to come back to this comment in 2030 and playfully mock me for ever being worried and I will buy you a coffee. If AGI is invented before 2030 please buy me one and let me mock you playfully.

This is something I agree with. The world would be more secure if we made SMS obsolete and Apple making a push away from it is arguably net positive.

Sounds like a "make better warning messages" issue. Most users are not able to root their device due to the number of steps needed and will give up on an app that needs root access. Make it so that you have to do something other t

If they block access to all Pebble watched AFTER it has been shown to be opening a dangerous gateway to spammers despite valiant attempts by all to engineer it to be safe, then that would be a lot less of a scandal. If they further block it
