AFAIK the law in the US is much more arbitrary in the sense that a lot of it is case law. Until such a case has been before a jury, and jurisprudence has been established it's basically a coin toss. The thing that may feel arbitrary is

Well we do have strong AI in a form factor the size of an average human's head. And that AI, while not super human in most cases, is not specially tuned to be intelligent for the sake of intelligence. It's only as intelligent as e

I've been fascinated by these AI containment/usage scenarios ever since I heard of them. Here's another perspective on the problem that I find very fascinating: Assume that, beyond a shadow of a doubt, we have an impenetrable

That is about as fair an argument as that gag where someone shouts "Hey asshole" loudly in your direction, and makes fun of everyone that turns around, implying that the people that react are assholes.

I think your argument is very flawed. AFAIK there are no absolute guidelines to judge what is good or bad. Many of these things are cultural and very much dependent on society and how you were brought up in it. That's not to say that s

I must admit that I've not followed the case all that closely. But, assuming that the document does not lie, this part looks like a huge problem: > "Evidence shows that even the most highly ranked rival service appears on avera

I have a hard time seeing how you came to your conclusions about point 3. The rulings seem crystal clear and are explained in normal language. Take the google shopping case: http://europa.eu/rapid/press-release_IP-17-17

Haha that's what it is. There's more tricks too, I'm able to close my nose by a muscle somewhere in the back of my throat. I've asked my friends if they could, but they al say they can't. Anyone else have that?

I agree with the premise halfway in the article. My generation has not grown to fear the bombs as the previous generation did. When someone of my generation is behind the buttons, I wonder if somewhere in the back of their minds there isn&#

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I've been looking for something like this for ages. I use QubesOS, and copy + paste between HVM(Windows) and paravirtual domains(Linux) just did not work with Windows 10. I previously used a little webs

I use it whenever I need to debug a piece of code. For example I like to play with fuzzers, so when one of my fuzzers finds a crash in whatever software I'm fuzzing I'll re-run it in a x64dbg and see what's happening. I'

The points made against switching to newer languages are valid. It will cost time, it will cost effort, it will take many years of work to convince stubborn maintainers to switch. But it will not stop _everyone_ from adopting better languag
