I could see a malicious recommendation algorithm being a large problem, but even if that did exist there is no way they would show that. By malicious, I mean one that identifies content and then recommends it in a way that would achieve a

Given that the legal system targets based on gender more than race, why race is the go to inequality that is pointed out? There seems to be a social level acceptance that unequal targeting based on gender is somehow more acceptable (and by

Even if they did pay, wouldn't it still be better to say they were restoring from backups? Makes them look far less vulnerable to the attack and they can likely wrap it with enough PR speak to not be technically lying. Arguably about

If I handed you $110 to go buy $100 of drugs, then I'm still paying for the drugs. What judge would be willing to allow such a gotcha to actually pass? There would be a massive industry for legally paying for illegal things if that w

It reduces cost to produce a specific good. I would think it would be measured similar to other technology advancements that do the same. Good for society, bad for the craftsman that were made obsolete, overall net positive. This is purpo

It was because I was primarily thinking about reddit when I was posting and only after posting did I consider that someone might think I meant on this site. So I decided to immediately edit to clarify any potential confusion, as I do hones

Any system that is that resistant to censorship will have to deal with it being used for files that the government most works to censor. That sort of relation will drive other people away and you'll find government increasing their po

I'm actually kind of interested in exactly what sort of overlap that would be.

Some people use torrents, others use the library, and some use both. Are you asking why some prefer a library to a torrent? For them, likely ease of access and greater access to content. Effectively torrents are an expansion of the libra

A library pays once and then allows an unlimited number of people to use an item. A torrent uploader buys once and then allows an unlimited number of people to use an item. The only core distinction is the number that can access it at onc

At some point I find it hard to draw a distinction between a library and a torrent. Gotta to avoid legal trouble, but from a moral standpoint outlawing torrents is like outlawing the library.

Boundaries should always have constant slopes. The best example I'm familiar with is the benefits that kick in for a US employee who works full time. This results in companies doing a number of actions to get their workers to work ne

Are there any simplified explanations for the asymmetry of the weak force driving the cosmic ray polarity that doesn't require extensive knowledge in physics?

The threat of escalation by the legal system is why they seek a lawyer to engage the legal system instead of ignoring the legal system like you see in places where the legal system does not have power to escalate.

>Conversely, who says jail time is enough? Why not make the maximum even worse than jail? At some point you have to have a max, just advocating that the max is reduced. Well the maximum penalty is a combination of death or solitary confi

What if they physically resist such an action? Or continue to drive without a license? Eventually you'll end up enforcing the penalty for speeding with either force and likely to include a jail sentence if they resist to the point th

Then you effectively are creating a maximum punishment that could easily be ignored by some of the population. Take speeding tickets. What if a person just decides not to pay and keep speeding? Not that they can't, but they don'

It is a bit more complicated than that. There is a tiered system based on your connections, class (wealth), gender, race, appearance, and other factors (these factors are not weighted equally). To further complicate it these factors are w

All the more reason to drop any 'majority group' based logic and just ban targeted harassment and discrimination based on immutable characteristics in general.
