Feels like an empty threat. That’s a lot of First World data to give up and Zuck’s wet dream is to know the intimate secrets of every human on the planet. If he will lay transatlantic cable to get to Africa, he’ll get compliant with EU regu

The Government is empowered. We know that because they have broken up companies in the past for that reason. The issue is Congress is not willing to do it (you can ponder the why for yourself). A solution may be to throw out the politicians

That is an incentive regardless of UT's policy. The top 10 are always fighting to be number 1 or 2 and weighted classes make all the difference.

You're going from one extreme to another. Starting your own business is not the only alternative to working for big business. There is a remarkable difference between working at Lockheed Martin and working at SpaceX, for example. One i

You say clearly, but it isn't clear. I would argue the existence of billionaires is a symptom and not the root of the problem. This country was founded with all people created equal under the law, but the system of kickbacks and corrup

It's the illusion of safety. There is no facility for identity verification baked into blockchain. You have integrity for the data allowed on the chain but if you let Russian hackers write to it, it undermines the whole thing. Personal

He was not a Government employee at the time. Contractors don't get to be whistle blowers. EDIT: Turns out the law does protect contractors, so I guess it's circumstantial that employees get branded whistle blowers and contractors

It's just a limited satellite network right now. I suspect bandwidth limitations may be due to limited ground station exposure.

I know in Georgia if you move from one County to another there could be duplicate voter registrations. If you die or move out of state your voter registration may not be terminated. Either could allow duplicate votes. Another vector for mai

It is a joke, sort of. George Hotz of comma.ai wants someone to start a Google alternative and charge a monthly fee instead of invading user privacy. He made the hammer.lol page on a live stream last week.
