I'd compare it to a classical steering-wheel lock. It makes your car a bit harder to steal. Even without it, a thief would still have to get into the car and start the engine. But not parking in a bad neighborhood will likely be a more

That reminds me of unlocking android boot loaders. I took the liberty to modify it and now have to live with a warning screen on boot. I'm fine with safe baby-mode defaults, but still want opt out to be available for those informed or

There are no perfect value systems, yes. They are still great tools to prevent tragedy of the commons / prisoner dilemmas. And that's something we as a society must archive to thrive. An alternative is regulation, created by again

The idea is that you are always insured for essentials, so the question is to find out under whom at that time. No idea what specifically determines the insurer for someone entering the country. But coverage will begin back on entry and the

They didn't find a sufficient majority for any of their plans they voted on that night. Not AHCA. Not BCRA. Not for straight repeal nor some skinny repeal. [0] And that's exactly the problem with politics. They don't vote for

You position sounds incredible uncreative to me. The article says "we need people working on that". Your response is "blocking won't work, thus software can't help". Someone else already commented that it might

My simple go-to example is tuples. They are on the third attempt to introduce that feature. First was generic Tuple.Create. Did not support naming individual fields. Then came anonymous classes. Those could only be used where type is inferr

You can repeat the living standards meme as often as you like, but when people think the system is rigged against them, they will try to burn down the current system (best case just by election) and replace it with whatever might be more fa

Eh. Yes, we can only use known information and especially with little info, the patterns we perceive won't always be perfect. But applying those labels seems to have enormous value anyway. Reddit recently likes to compare Musk to Trump

I agree. The append-only nature of blocks chained together using hashes can build the most tamper-proof transaction log i can imagine. Even without mining/consensus algorithm and with it only being centrally host (but still published),

Congratulation, you just noticed obvious problems of a rule like "don't change prices at state of emergencies". Thus, no reasonable/battle-tested actual regulation will have such a rule. Surprisingly, simple principles l

Yeah, its kind of ridiculous having e.g. the german government expect Facebook what posts are and then delete hate speech and co. If that stuff is illegal, then the persons doing so should be held accountable by our legal system. But politi

Cmon, your "Atlas Shrugged" level hypothetical is way off of the IMO quite reasonable US implementation summarized on wikipedia[1]. Yes, hoarding can be very bad and thus laws will reflect that. Capitalism & markets are great,

Why does it always have to be either-or. Can't we all agree that Facebook also has some responsibility to prevent abuse? I'm not saying they have to make sure no one can ever break a law using their platform. But once they become
