Not really. It isn't hard to use FIPS validated software, it's just annoying to do because most libraries you would want to use aren't FIPS compliant by default for good reasons. If you can get a government contract in the

I don't think anyone is able to learn many languages very easily. If you want to have meaningful discussions in a language you need a vocabulary on the order of 5-10k words depending on the subject and how much exposure you have, which

I agree that the UK also fucked this up royally. I don't think this excuses either jurisdiction. In both cases the legal system failed to robustly scrutinise the claims being made before depriving people of their liberty, and that is w

The responsibility does not rest solely with the person behind the wheel. Tesla know or should know how people use this system, and engineer it such that it doesn't kill people when the end user does what they are foreseeably going to

Until we demonstrate the ability to actually perform meaningful feats of geoengineering and the sustained willingness to commit trillions of dollars to it, this proposal is basically science fiction

Those are really unpleasant and dangerous to take and basically not an option for half the population though

Depends which language learners. There are people who can learn 50 new words a day for months, but those people are rare and there feats are probably not replicable for most of us. https://isaak.net/mandarin/ is an exa

"Impossible" tends in my experience to be a bureaucratic euphemism for "we don't want to bother".

While the above poster is a little overenthusiastic, there is no judicial review of acts of Parliament. Judicial review seeks to challenge whether a public body reached a decision lawfully, and acts of Parliament are always lawful provided

I think for 30% of my revenue I'd expect reviewers to find the time to use the full context of the app. That may not be realistic for every app on the app store, but it is reasonable for apps with tens of thousands of reviews and hundr

The fact that the Culture was not only willing to use very powerful general AI but allow it to run the entire civilisation, whereas the Idirans banned it, might have been a factor. No matter how smart Idirans might be presumably Minds would

It's also country specific. HMRC in the UK are pieces of shit I wouldn't scrape off my shoe

They are bad at telling people what the problem is and the behaviour they complain about is very reasonable. Google's own YouTube app, for example, does exactly this - it prevents the screen from timing out and sleeping.

These are constructed categories that a given person might agree or disagree with. You are free to identify cultural similarities between an Andalusian and a Neapolitan, but that does not make the change the fact that those two people may v

Off-the-shelf open source stuff is often the product of big companies open sourcing internal tools though. Airflow, which you name check, is a great example of this. Temporal is another example in the space. Someone has to be dumb enough
