That's the key question: whose laws are Waymo enforcing? ICE and Flock's extra-constitutional policies? City ordinances? A future eco-radical government's laws? How about things taking place outside the car? Can Waymo mou

Most likely an identification grab. I haven't seen how anth will enforce the age restriction, but my bet is through linking all of your movements within claude to a govt id. Abt protecting minors: 19 states still permit teachers to ph

Heh it can stil suck even when dogfooding. At my friend's org, they like it to suck bc that reminds them they are doing the very sophisticated work of dogfooding. No one told them they're allowed/supposed to feel good maki

Animalistic survival desires under conditions of engineered scarcity and reduced awareness. Compounded with powerful need for consistency - to keep everything this way. Anyone with a decent amount of social power is aware and skilled at

100%. This is exactly the type of nuance that the comparison fails on. Plus we have limited info here. Yes ofc we must yield to pedestrians. And we also make nuanced decisions. "There's a motorcycle moving too fast behind me.

Perhaps the explanation is: to make space for other incoherent self-defeating policies like threatening the Fed that they'll increase tariffs if rates aren't lowered?

I discussed above how Carpenter is not narrowly restricted to cell phones. The fact of being in public or on a vehicle isn't the key point. It's that electronic systems aggregating location data are 4th amendment protected. Wh

Glad you mentioned Carpenter. I've been spending a Lot of time getting to know it and related cases lately (Chatrie) Roberts did use the word 'narrow' in the Carpenter opinion. That part is accurate. But read what narrow act

This is a form of ego death and should be taken seriously. Your/our place(s) in society have been shaken up like dice in a cup...and someone may not even care to pour them out and see what numbers come out. What are you like when no on

BMI is at best 66% accurate, so "mostly" is correct, but what is mostly good enough for? BMI has known biases in gender, age, and race. It misclassified Asians, women, elderly w sarcopenia, and people with high body fat to lean t
