The decision-makers don't need change their decision whatsoever to corruptly profit from it, though, they can just place bets on the timeframe or outcome of whatever decision they originally intended to make. Why risk operational disru

Privacy advocates, UNITE! Just leave your name and email on this contact form on github, so privacy can be solved once and for all! (/s, but an interesting paradox for pro-privacy initiatives soliciting identifiable public support)

The people proposing these kinds of infringements on civil liberties need to start being criminally tried for treason. Not just in this case, or this country, or this hemisphere.

Does disenfranchising felons cause damage? What is the nature of the damage? Can it be quantified in any way?

It's hilarious that they think it needs to be codified into law. As if the right to do math wasn't intrinsic, and could be even theoretically be revoked by the government, lol.

Wrongful imprisonment isn't something that started with AI. This is why everyone should be against the death penalty: the state cannot be trusted not to make mistakes in determining guilt.

You just answered your own question. Voter ID won't solve all the problems with illegitimate votes being cast, but it will mitigate the damage.

If 10% of drivers lacked car insurance, would your solution be to remove the legal requirement to possess a valid insurance policy to operate a motor vehicle because it discriminates against the poor?

As a Strix Halo owner, I've been eagerly awaiting Nemotron 3 Super since it was announced for H1'26 when Nemotron 3 Nano dropped. It's humbling to watch the industry move so fast that Qwen 3.5 122B A10B ends up being competit

That there costs and requirements imposed by a refusal to consent means that your consent or lack thereof is subject to coercion, rendering the arrangement non-consensual. This argument would be valid if you could renounce US citizenship wi

You think that's bad? Imagine being unironically held accountable to the unenumerated terms of a "social contract" that you never even signed or had a right to refuse in the first place.

Violence isn't the answer. Handheld IR/non-visible-wavelength LiDAR systems that permanently fry CMOS image sensors are. If state laws permit the capture of light, let them capture light. Light has no spectrum allocation laws, no

Assuming cloth diapers cost an extra 10 minutes a day, the time savings of disposable diapers are "worth" 60 hours a year. What do you value more - $1000 or 60 hours of your time?
