I disagree. All humans can be taught to think critically. It's a learned skill. Logic is rather rigorous i.e. just learning a few basic rules and applying them can falsify the bulk of claims made in typical discourse. Everyone can lear

Thinking critically is in direct contradiction with the notion that everyone's opinion is equally valid. Our society does not promote critical thinking as a useful life skill, it's more about appeal to authority and belonging. Our

Short answer: Yes, and new instruments to make those measurements possible. That's how physics has always progressed. Why would this point in time be suddenly different from the past 400 years? Because we can't see a clear path fo

Like the atom was in the 18th century? Electrons and protons in the 19th? Quarks in the 20th?

This a great start. A level progression system would make it a full fledged game. You could introduces walls to control the direction/flow of ants. The walls would change per level. Also, some kind of penalty for spamming might help. R

She sounds contrarian. Some people (of either gender) are naturally like that. They'll argue for the sake of arguing. It's quite draining and can really wear on you after a while. Best to find someone else. Why do they do this? Th

Yeah, I mean, why even become an engineer? Why work in safety? Let's rubber-stamp everything the manager says it's good. It must be good, they said it! Think about your words the next time you or a relative or a friend is hurt or

Ah that's interesting, I did not know this. Maybe this is why authorities are all up in a tizzy over it. Because it can't be their platform security, which is largely theatre.

A local phone reset won't touch the TEE keys though. It doesn't sound that sophisticated.

In that case it sounds like a software protection product has been applied to the AI-based applications. That product is doing a simple check that should be fairly easy to hypass through other means.

Would be useful to see test results on a game that relies more heavily on the graphics core than the CPU. Perhaps Divinity 2?

Incentivizing looking for errors will not improve the quality of science. Rather individuals will use this power to take down articles they disagree with. The road to hell is paved with good intentions.

This is a terrible idea. Unless the process can clearly discriminate innocent errors from malicious ones, it will send a chill through the publishing process. We don't want to pillory authors for making an honest mistake, it would kill

While this is a well-trodden stereotype, and it certainly has merit, not all crimes are Snowden-level crimes against the state. Felonies such as embezzlement, fraud and trafficking are often investigated by exposing the digital trail. Law e

Scientific fraud or medical fraud? Are we tarring all of science because of fraud in one sub-field (medicione)? How about social science fraud, where poor economic policies can cause millions to starve? Before I get pilloried for whatabouti

I agree with this. I don't know if we have easy solutions left to tackle this pernicious problem. But legislating privacy definitely won't work the way people think it will. In the past, boom and bust cycles, while causing major h

I think you missed the forest for the trees. I will make it very clear. The advertising business is a growth vector. It grows with the size of the economy. Singular industries may rise and fall (ex. ads for riding crops) but in aggregate, a

Confusing fame and noteriety is a common problem, except they aren't the same thing. Not to mention copycat crime is definitely a thing. Your point is moot.

Advertising is not zero-sum. It is a money multiplier. To illustrate this, we start from the position that a new business creates net new value in the economy (on top of existing value). This is an economic maxim that must be true otherwise

A brand's worth is based on how many people know about it. Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Facebook, Apple, Disney, Tesla, etc. etc. are some of the most well-known brands on the planet. Globally, they consistently rank at or near the top.

Except the ad market is a very lucrative source of revenue. Every corporation that owns/operates a platform is incentivized to exploit that market to bolster their overall revenues. We're talking about user privacy, so it's r

This is not a personal belief, merely an observation. Given past and present behaviour of the US govt., it's apparent that corporations receive a rather light touch. By comparison, the govt is much harsher with individuals guilty of th

The real truth is that strong privacy laws would cause economic harm to flagship corporations. That would have a ripple effect on the economy as those corporations are responsible for thousands of high-paying jobs. The elected representativ
