Article says: "Over the last couple of years, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) have been using AI and supercomputers to identify locations of Hamas activity and plan strikes to remove any strategic advantage." Does this work well?

MSP are so often the security vulnerability themselves these days, rather than being a security benefit. This isn't the first time this has happened and won't be the last. How many people are affected this time? SolarWinds Orion

If this happened to Trump it would be on all of the right wing news channels for a full news cycle and used to discredit all investigations/charges against him. Different people have different levels of access to ensuring media coverag

This is just the larger question of AI personhood. If/when we get more advanced AI, especially if it shows some type of self-awareness, even if programmed in, this will be likely a rights issue/movement similar to what we've

You are comparing currency (dollar) against assets (gold.). You are complaining that a currency is acting like a currency (inflationary) and not an asset (relatively resistant to inflation.) I am so confused by this argument. I think you ar

If you own Bitcoin, you have a major incentive to spin everything as good for BTC so that they price rises. You are also incentivized to convince others to buy BTC so that the your investment in BTC pays off. Given there is no intrinsic wo

Israel currently will use that as a public excuse, but Israel will clamp down on non-violent protect and violent protest fairly equally. There is always an excuse for why Israel has to take land and also why it has to have racist laws. The

It is also public if you google for it now. Interesting fact. These lawyers won a case against the guys who are suing you: https://sabety.net/2020/01/patent-troll/ Maybe worth engaging with them?

As someone who has dealt with this I suggest you figure out a way to avoid the patent. Read through the claims, figure out what combination of features they have patented and then change your product to avoid those features in that combina

The rest of your comment makes sense, but this sentence is disconnected from reality: "People El Salvador didn't get the $1200 checks that US citizens got from printing more USD, even though they both use USD in theory." Are

I understand the money transfer problem. Cryptocurrency seems like a good idea in that case. I question though why choose Bitcoin? I guess a lot of people support it. But it is far from stable, so no one in the right mind, especially poo

I think you are a bit more cynical than I am. But I do agree you are correct that switching jobs every couple of years is an effective way of raising your salary often faster than if you stayed in the same place.

Theoretically possible yes. But the pyramid is very very bottom heavy at McDonalds and Walmart where 90% of all employees make close to minimum wage. It would be better to start in corporate at Walmart and work your way up there, rather t
