To make it easy, the owner should only have to go to the police, with them taking care of everything else. I wouldn't want some old lady coordinate the data exchange between Apple and police. But this makes it hard for Apple to verify

That's understandable. And those willing to break out will have a price to pay. Like the "your phone is insecure" message on boot after you went to a bunch of complicated steps to unlock your bootloader. That's acceptabl

Yeah, you'd probably want to sign the content in the URL and verify the signature before displaying. Sound doable, if someone would actually take that idea serious...

Well, the thing that sets living stuff apart from non-living seems to be the ability to sustain life (usually in the form of offspring). From this we can infer the purpose of life to be keeping life alive. Spreading live across the universe

Tor is free with no signup / cc required. This makes a huge difference, especially for younger users. Did for me back then, at least. Initially it was slow, yes. But totally fine the last few years for normal browsing and reasonable do

I am not sure where you've seen anyone advocate you to "denied access to content". We are talking about a recommendation system. Those are pushing content, and as such include believes, values, etc. This makes companies have

And that will never change if significant services keep blocking Tor users. Thus we have a feedback loop effectively fighting privacy...

I kind of disagree on what you try to accomplish in your second half. If you want to live here, you should be exposed to local culture and language, and have a somewhat hard time retreating into your own, separate filter bubble. Sure, Youtu

I have a hard time understanding how youtube can screw this up so badly. Spotify does it nicely. They clearly recognized the few different tastes I have. And then offer separate discovery-queues for each of them and let me decide depending

Isn't that very close to being a vacuous semantic distinction at this point? I don't see much of a difference to "My C# main never actually executes. It's the .NET runtime that interprets the IL bytecode." I'm

Your statements seem to have quite a slant as well. > 3. [..] I've seen Tesla fan suggesting that Waymo handles Stop Signs by hard coding the location of each stop sign in the map. I'm sure you'll see uninformed individual

I get the argument of less investment into maintenance, but new buildings with higher capacity (instead of higher quality) could still make you more profit than current ones while boosting supply. Sadly new constructions will continue to ta

Yes, because Waymo doesn't require special detectable hardware as proposed by GP. And this is exactly the argument the parent tried to make: Your self driving car needs to react to unpredicted changes in the environment. Sensing/v

You just removed the biggest reason to invest into autonomous vehicle tech. Now correct me if this is different in the US, but usually safety tech has to be forced up on drivers by regulators. Especially for commercial vehicles.

You can keep telling yourself that you have a "choice", but in the end we all are just humans, with quite predictable behavior. Bias selection of content is since forever one of the more effective ways of shaping opinion. Politics

Could you elaborate on how Germany did kill of the photovoltaics industry? Since this seems different than I remember. Solar panel production in Germany mostly died because it couldn't be price competitive with those from China. Instal

It depends on what common apps are available. Only option I see for Huawei to get those is by leveraging the Chinese market to incentivize devs to make a google free version of their apps. This way they should have enough critical mass to m

There are certainly disadvantages. For a start, it keeps freezing my VS code :D But Modders also have a hard time adding features if logic for all items is in a single function. This seemed exactly what OOP / interfaces were designed f

If software can identify it as fake, another can be improved till that isn't the case anymore. This is actually being used, search Generative Adversarial Network for more info and background.

Somewhat better, maybe. It now allows me to download an area large enough to fit my entire home town. Still doesn't allow an entire country or even more, probably cause of bigger file size / more detail than the competitor i use.

Not just between demonetization (totally fine with me) and removal (don't really like it). Promotion is also a tricky one, since those algorithms are fully under Google's control and thus responsibility for its results. But do you

This is pretty much the point i tried to make... that there is no huge difference and it is totally fine to simplify to "white" in communities like these. But re-reading my comment, i can now see how it can be seen as nit-picking

I would also prefer Youtube not banning those videos. But they certainly should not help them get views. Google is fully responsible for the output of its recommendation algorithms and the impact to society.

Also please be aware that you will see terms like "white" supremacy be used in these discussions instead of more appropriate terms like "Aryan" to make the topic easier to approach for an American audience.

If you look at the comment sections of actual propaganda sites... well, you won't see Breitbart comments "correct the record". Quite the opposite, they are an important part of the local echo chamber. The only good they can d
