The ethics here are not as simple as "don't ship any self-driving AI until you are 100% sure they will never make a fatal mistake." There is no such thing as 100% assurance in this field. If you are so cautious that you neve

Hardware wallets are a good compromise here. Sure, you need to trust the hardware vendor. But the attack surface for a hardware wallet is way smaller than with a big OS. There are much bigger attack vectors than the operating system vendo

A typical solution to this is to store the data outside of the blockchain and then checkpoint a hash of the data snapshot into the blockchain at regular intervals. This provides tamper resistance to the data. Incentivizing users or organiza

I guess stuff like this is how they must have arrived at these ridiculous numbers. I know my screen would be on whether I was typing an email or not.

I am highly skeptical of this conclusion. I expect this study does not account for economies of scale. If I'm already downloading 100 emails from my provider, one additional email does not have any significant environmental impact.

Maybe not cyber warfare. But perhaps there are ways to give more and better uncensored information to Chinese citizens.

Sure, let's act. But is cutting trade ties with China the right way to achieve our goals? I disagree with the premise that starting an economic war is the right way to get China to change its policies.

I applaud standing up to China's human rights violations. But this post grossly underestimates the short term economic effects that cutting trade ties with China would have. Companies would go bankrupt. It is quite likely that the US a

Tesla has arguably a more clear path to a profitable future. Uber's path to profitability is arguably much more speculative and dependent on risky technology advances.
