There are two large high quality studies mentioned in the article.

Tangentially - being an edge case doesn’t inherently dehumanise someone, edge cases do exist and we need to be able to discuss them without feeling we have to deny that to protect people.

Ok, why do you collect NFTs? Do you invite dates in to see your NFT collection? Do you occasionally open it up to admire the hash values? Do you enjoy posting on forums telling people you own NFTs? something else …?

It’s not known if those are fundamental limits. However the idea that space time is discrete is a reasonable hypothesis to test, we don’t currently have any ways to probe at those resolutions, though.

This doesn’t really make sense - irrespective of where this particular virus came from, we need to re-think regulations for all potential future sources.

Tesla has this info but chooses not to share it. However, here’s an analysis from a few years ago that should at least give you pause in claiming that Tesla’s are definitively safer: https://medium.com/@MidwesternHedgi/

No, this is not correct. Tesla persists in comparing autopilot miles (primarily highway driving, only good weather, recent model cars) to all miles driven by all road users under all weather conditions. Tesla cannot claim autopilot is safer

> From everything I've heard of Tesla self driving is that per-mile it is more safe than human control There’s no evidence this is true and what evidence exists is more suggestive of the opposite.

Nokia entered into agreements promising not to charge excessive amounts, that’s why their patents were used in all those standards. If they hadn’t signed those agreements their patents would not have been used, and hence would actually have

For the landlord example - sure, if for some bizarre reason a tenant would agree to that. Presumably no one would, and so the landlord would lose out and stop.

Nokia can charge $1000, but then no one would license their patents - so they charge a price the market will bear, that maximises their profit. Obviously the market can bear 30% for Apple. And this is actually unsurprising because the numbe

Unlike Google and Facebook, say, Apple doesn’t have a strong network effect lock-in. If they stop making the best products they’re much easier to switch away from. They have some weak network effects with iMessage (in some markets) and conv

For your first question - equal to their share of the population. So blacks should be ~12% of all Harvard students, for example, as opposed to the current 6%.

The “socialist” in the name was a bit of marketing - unless you also think the “peoples republic of North Korea” is in fact a republic.

by czzr 5y ago
No, it just means that the parties switched labels. What the republic party stands for today bears little relation to the party of Lincoln. https://www.google.nl/amp/s/www.history.com/.amp/news/how

Without taking a position on downvoting - this is true for new interesting questions, at some point you have to move past ones already eliminated as reasonable possibilities.

As a non-American, consider that many of us live in countries with better policies than yours, and we’d prefer not to have your ideas imposed on us by fiat, thanks. So I’m quite happy that Apple has to follow local rules, and I respect Chin

The laws of the country you live in. If you don’t like those laws then work to change them, don’t depend on a foreign tech company to decide for you. If I wanted to live under US laws and cultural expectations I’d move there.

No, it’s not. I guess we’re doomed to see this at-best-misleading-but-really-just-straight-up-lying analysis every time there’s an article about this. Makes me laugh, especially with the “geeks are immune to marketing” trope that floats aro

As I said, the design enables this, if Apple chose to do it. It remains to be seen if they will.

Only semi-good reason is it would enable E2E encryption in the cloud while still allowing detection of CSAM.

It is correct, but it’s also true that it runs on the device. It’s actually an interesting trade-off as it’s more private in some ways, at the cost of potentially being less private if misused in the future.

The inability of the US to pass a carbon tax will be one of humanities great tragedies. That they are the theoretical champions of the free market is just piling cruel irony on top of that.

Completely anecdotal, but I’ve seen many colleagues with different backgrounds live in the US for a few years and come back significantly heavier - so the detail about Xand living there really struck me.
