I appreciate your comment because I think I am usually on the other side.

The implications of requiring disclosure are significant. Do we really want to pass a law that says books, pamphlets, blogs, etc. cannot be published anonymously? Do we want to limit the amount of pamphlets you can print because some people

Bah, fair enough. I think the thrust of my argument is true though. We could have gone 10 or 20 years back instead (C64 is downright ancient).

I think this shows something more important: we are not hardware limited. There's no reason someone could not have implemented this 40 years ago. Our hardware is way beyond our research. I didn't know how to create a general intel

My very casual understanding is that Mond really has been mostly discarded. The article says it's 'in trouble'. We see some galaxies whose gravity is near the baryonic prediction and others where it is not. - explaining this

It's because the platforms realized that people are more interested in things they have not subscribed to. Of course, this is disappointing to creators. 'They subscribed voluntarily, but the algorithm hides our content!' As

My dad tells a story that happened in 198X while the 30-minute guarantee still existed. He was living in DC and traffic in his neighbourhood was absolutely abysmal at peak hours when gov employees were leaving work. Apparently it could take

We always enjoy the finality of legal process until we are on the losing side. I don't know why UK law is made that way, but nothing should be final, for precisely this reason--clerical errors can happen.

Ive been at Meta and Amazon and did not experience anything like this. But, it can definitely be true. The reality is that <TRILLION DOLLAR COMPANIES> are just so big, they don't really have a doscernable culture. The difference

Certainly. My point is that there isn't an unlimited pool of qualified candidates. There are things other than academics, but that makes the pool even smaller.

While it's true that there is a limit (really there is a limit to every university study), there is also a limit to the number of people who are qualified and interested. For instance, there are only about 20k people who score > 510

Yes. But how much of their results is due to their attitude, versus just a coincidence? I like movies, but admittedly know nothing about making them. Big budget movies require hundreds of people with their own opinions working together to w

Google claims to stand for small business, but (my understanding is) part of the justification of DMA is to reduce the xonpetitive advantage of mega techs. That is, Alphabet is required to separate their various products and not use data fr

This seems so odd. What if the browser wasn't made by Google? What about equivalent modes in other browsers? Incognito mode was actually quite innovative in 2007. And i thought the warning page when you open it is quite clear.

This seems odd: > Had somebody been able to foresee the popularity and success of ‘Star Wars,’ it would have been crazy not to save the grove where Endor was made and use it as a tourist venue. This was not the first Star Wars movie. Thi

Freakonomics is fun and clever. A more subtle and standard economics book is probably more correct. But then it would be boring and I wouldn't have read it.

My initial thought was recording the position in each frame. Obviously after reading it, it seems obvious. And if I were implementing it, I am pretty sure I would have came to the same solution. But it was not immediately obvious to me from

I use vscode and had no idea it was electron. Electron apps had a very poor reputation 10 years ago. Yet it feels very snappy to me.

I think it's pretty much impossible to write unambiguous laws. That's just reality. Congress are already criticized for writing laws which are too long . But there is a conflict here between writing laws which are unambiguous and

The US has strong free speech rights. You cannot just ban a person or group from the right to petition their elected officials without constitutional changes. Whether that right should exist is perhaps contentious.

It's nice to think that some education will solve conspiracies. But conspiratorial thinking originates in the gut--not the brain. It's not a lack of education (or an excess of stupidity). We become conspiatorial when we feel power

Given that this drone was apparently designed for game recovery, I think it's easy to show he had prior intent.

I know it's comedy, but the essense relies on faulty reasoning of why you were employed. You are employed because the company expects the profit/savings you generate to exceed the cost of employment. If that stops being true, th

I love it! Though I am not an expert, I can at least see this. However, I hate to be a nitpicker, but I think this is solving a separate issue. I don't think this issue is about authenticating the legitimacy of deep fake porn. Rather,

So I think your points 1 & 2 apply whether stack ranking is implemented or not. Either way, the direct managers decide who to fire, not an executive. The difference stack ranking makes is not who to fire, but whether anyone is going

I didn't write this because it was too long already, but it depends on the technology. I agree that CFC bans are a good example of when something was done. But I can also name many situations in which nothing effective was done. And ev

Well I am going to bluntly disagree, sorry. I am dismissive. But in the end, I will be right and you will be wrong. That's the pattern in technology. 1. Some technology is invented 2. It changes the status quo, directly or indirectly,
