It's completely impossible without strong AI. As but one example: contracts often include the phrase "a reasonable effort". Here's a definition: "Reasonable Efforts means, with respect to a given goal, the efforts

Because a „home server“ a.k.a. a space heater to store extra porn on, is still a server, and everyone knows servers need ECC?

Yes. But, maybe, given another chance, HN can proof that slightly fewer than all its users are social darwinists just waiting for opportunities to wish violence onto everyone below them in the social hierarchy.

A „JavaScript popup“ is indistinguishable from a div (or other block element) or its visibility being toggled.

Electric heating is almost immoral in environmental terms. Instead of getting close to 100 % efficiency by burning fossil fuel in place, it is burned in a power plant at 30 % efficiency. This is changing with increasing solar and wind power

The idea is to hurt the economy as a whole. So, yes, it only works if it’s done somewhat extensively.

Russian gas makes up about 10% of Europe’s energy imports. That’s quite a bit, and there are regional and sectoral hotspots. But it’s not impossible to replace. Plus Russia continues to have an interest in selling he stuff. With all other s

You’re complaining that the company is unhappy, but not to the point of firing you, when you literally refuse to show up for work?

That’s fine. Unfortunately, it also doesn’t produce energy.

Yes, (somewhat) obviously. This is the second Russian non-democracy in thirty years to get close to structural failure, and one common interpretation is that a system of this size cannot succeed without the mechanisms of transparency and ac

People find all sorts of arguments that are both logically and morally unsound to justify their behaviour, and it isn’t going to change. For a while I thought they might notice that they are hurting themselves just as much as they are hurti

In 16 years on the internet with as blocking limited to manually blocked annoyances only I have never had any of those issues. I’m almost certain it’s just an argument to justify adblocking. I wish people had the ability to avoid all the mo

I bet you’re among the people that will object to the use of the word „steal“ when it’s used for copyright infringement. Anyway… consent can happen implicitly. Eat at the hotel buffet an they’ll charge you for breakfast. Besides, it should

None of those motivations seem to make much sense. I’d bet on simple negligence: only a tiny minority insists on the chronological timeline and it’s therefore acceptable to annoy them from time to time.

People here tend to justify ad blocking with security concerns. It‘ll be interesting what new rationalization they come up with for this.

That's not always true. German copyright law, for example, includes a right for artists to a cut of the proceeds for auctions in the secondary market.

You are listing a bunch of methods that might be useful indicators of "good content", useful for search engine algorithms. But those are merely (possible) symptoms. "Good" is a quality of the content itself, made up of f

"Good information", almost synonymous with "truth", is not subjective. It is objective, observable fact. The fact that is a lot of disagreement, propaganda, and lies concerning that truth does not render it subjective.

In almost all cases, cutting off the electricity over any significant amount of time will also make it impossible to access the internet. It is therefore impossible for only the second thing to be worse than the first & second thing.

These measures definitely hit many users that aren't causally responsible for the acts of their government. Some may even be in open opposition of the acts committed in their name. Unfortunately, the latter is but a small fraction of t

The mechanism is triggered by one founder making a clear statement, usually in writing, that they want to trigger it. From that moment on, they are bound to it.

I believe what really matters in cases like this is that wood doesn't degrade underwater, and that there is very little movement of water at the spot.

To label the practice of speechwriting as 'fake' is deeply misguided. Is the contract you signed 'fake' because you didn't write it? Do you believe politicians should be judged primarily on their writing skills? A p

This is just nihilistic cynicism. Both Trump and Biden speak in easily understood sentences. I would tend to disagree with Trump more often than not, but that doesn't mean he isn't a clear communicator. Biden is different in that

So… sanctions shouldn’t be used because they are too powerful? And this is argued almost exclusively with pre-1940 history? The specifics of what results of sanctions the author finds to be excessive are limited to mentioning deaths from fa
