We don't want it both ways - if that's the price we'd have to pay, at least I definitely don't want model makers to license content.

I wonder if there are any invasive species between US states - like, some plant that's native to Florida but invasive in California, or native to California but invasive in Hawaii?

You could probably fire them with special artillery shells, just as deploying remote minefields or cluster munitions.

"Flagged as invasive" where? Every invasive species has a place where they're a perfectly nice local native.

The fact that we have to go as far back as CD players for a decent example illustrates my point - the "CD player" content distribution model is long dead, effectively nobody sells CD players or devices like CD players, effectively

A key aspect is that nowadays we rarely encode pure text - while other encodings are more efficient for encoding pure Mandarin, nowadays a "Mandarin document" may be an HTML or JSON or XML file where less than half of the characte

As far as I understand, one of things that it includes actually literally is the permutations of code adapted for every different model of supported nVidia hardware; that is a major (and desirable!) part of the driver+CUDA deployment.

It's a useless waste of resources - if there's no genuine dispute whether a violation occurred, in this situation, effective deterrence (which, as psychological research shows, is generally based on the likelihood of getting caugh

I think it is good and honest for companies to acknowledge that the current incentives work against trying to achieve [SOME_GOOD_RESULT], as in that case the first step towards getting that thing done would be figuring out how can we change

Perhaps it's different in USA due to different salary policies, but in European academia it sometimes happens that some of the leading positions are not actually that desirable, as you'll just sacrifice your scientific work (which

This is the type of prohibition which we want to enforce because they disturb others, and it would be inappropriate to disturb the illegitimately disturbed person even more by having to stop their activities and wait for some official to re

This is exactly what's being proposed - quoting the article, "Once a recording is made, it will be submitted to L.A. Department of Transportation where a human will assess whether a ticket should be issued." In any case, neit

It depends on the location, my local automated speed camera process involves getting a human-approved ticket in the mail that includes the photos.

Quoting the official claims from the article, "Only when the system observes a vehicle parked illegally in a bus lane or a bus stop does it record the license plate and capture video of the event." - it seems very reasonable from

For starters, you need to determine which cars are actually parked, and if that spot is violating the rules. For fixed cameras generally the installation process just marks as spot or lane where every car "counts", but a camera on

On the other side of the coin, if you freeze your dependencies and commit to not update whenever there's a newer version of any dep you are using, you commit yourself to having to continuously (and rapidly!) evaluate all the security a

For code, future is neither unknown nor certain - we often do have a valid, informed opinion about what kind of changes are likely (or even inevitable on a schedule) and what kind of changes are possible but unlikely. For example, you may k

Multisig requires user cooperation, many users will not care to cooperate, and chain of custody verification really starts working only if you can get (force) ~100% of legitimate users globally to adopt the system. Also, for the potential c

There's a sufficient number of people personally doing targeted surveillance or pulling the trigger on weapons - and I'd assume that the barrier for building the tools for something is even lower than doing that yourself.

It would be interesting that a remote candidate could easily identify as whatever ethnicity, age or even gender they consider most beneficial for hiring to avoid discrimination or fit certain diversity incentives. Tech like this has the pot

Quite the opposite, governments and large companies even explicitly run services for digital timestamping of documents - if I wanted to potentially assert some facts in court, I'd definitely prefer having that e-document with a timesta

Just as before, a major part of photo or video evidence in court is not the actual video itself, but a person testifying "on that day I saw this horrible event, where these things happened, and here's attached evidence that I film

While individual circumstances matter a lot for impact to a single organization, for estimating the global "blast impact" of a vulnerability, we'd expect that all of that would somewhat average out between all the thousands o

It's probably close to the best thing that can be done with the available data, even if the available data is bad - the main flaw of such a metric is that while you could argue that the total impact is proportional to the number of mac

People have separate rights even if they are employees, and wiretapping laws apply to recording people - like, the company recording their own calls can easily be a violation of wiretapping laws if they don't properly inform their empl

With a warrant, they definitely can legally record you without your consent and your knowledge, e.g. secretly invading your home and placing recording devices there - IMHO that's the point of the parent post; while there are checks and
