I mean, FireEye has a pretty good reputation for attribution and investigation of nation state intrusions. This doesn't seem like the type of thing they would just make up. Bot saying we should take them 100% at their word, but inves

I've never seen these studies claiming anxious people tend to be immoral in their behaviors at work. Do you have a link? My personal intuition is that "grandiose" and "anxious" people are quite distinct groups with

There are plenty of instances of "smart" people doing "dumb" things. The idea that there is only one intelligence without considering people have a lot of individual foibles due to experience, temperament, predispositio

It also was brigading people and doing a lot of things that were against reddit's policies. The subreddit moderators were stickying posts that supported white supremacy and were not actively policing users who threatened violence. At

The real question is, why would they lie about this? I don't believe the remote control truck story. It seems unlikely that a remote control pick up truck by itself would be able to take on an armored convoy. Perhaps the attackers e

I'm clearly not articulating this well, so let me try to try another tactic. The evolution of eukaryotes is based on the specific path that Earth went down. The combination of RNA, DNA, proteins, and other cellular chemical building b

Certainly everything you say is true for our genetic chemistry, but I don't see a reason why that is necessarily true for all genetic chemistry. For example, our data storage for computers scales from megabytes to gigabytes very well.

It also seems to assume that there is only one "path" to "observer" status. For example, could there be an alternative to Eukaryote cells that would allow equivalent cognition to our own? We don't know because we

Except most of what you "discover" is actually more of the same. That why we have so much divisiveness in our society, people are unknowingly in echo chambers so deep they don't know anything else exists.

You absolutely have a right to judge a piece of artwork according to your moral code, just like the artist has a right to make something that goes against your moral code.

This is dangerous stuff. What if there was an Assassin's Creed that showed slavery in a positive light? Or the glory of killing Rightists in China in the 50s? Or Turks killing Armenians in 1918? People might look into it, but a lot

There's also a lot of treaties about the reciprocity of copyright. Without that, copyright can be pretty useless.

I don't understand the use of the word Platonic in the title. The couple described doesn't seem to match either the ancient or the contemporary definition of Platonic love.

With more individuals having immunity, it's likely the disease won't reach as many individuals who are vulnerable because they lack immunity and have underlying medical conditions. It's the level when outbreaks can stay loca

Are you looking for more oversight than is expressed in the article? It says the Danes check to make sure what the NSA searches for on that system does not include Danish citizen identifiers.

That's why you use multiple. It doesn't matter how unreliable, if it only works on in a million times, you send two million. Still the same concept.

The other big component is using Bayesian inference. For that you need a prior. What's the prior for this? You could look at incidents the US has had in similar freedom of navigation actions, what China has done with other countries
