In regard to chemical weapons - no, I think that they are abondonware because they are ineffective. Something similar with bio weapons, they can backfire to your own population rather easily. Nuclear are their special case, but still their

In regard to chemical weapons, they are decreasing danger because they are not effective in modern warfare. I'd expect for their usage to decrease. Nuclear is is not something proliferating besides North Korea and even then it is detur

In regard to nuclear weapons the high barrier to entry is mostly because the international community made artificial difficulties in obtaining and purifying the materials. Do not forget that the first nuclear weapons were created with tech

We have plenty of technologies whose development has been stopped via collective agreement: nuclear proliferation, biological weapons, space weapons. AI won't be one of those technologies though, because it is relatively easy to develo

First, thanks for the answers - both this comment and the other in the thread. HN shines again when it comes to access to the sources of information. Second, as I said in another comment, I'm not a chrome user and I'm asking more

Correct me if I'm wrong, but either the user encryption key is unique and hence the user is identifiable to Google, or a finite number of keys is used which makes the encrypted text subject to identification because a finite number of

How far would a multi billion company go in order to ensure its main source of income? They have a history of providing privacy assurances which fell through under serious inspection. The flock scheme was a few months back, the stop locatio

I appreciate that, but: 1. If google is paying fastly, what prevents google from paying fastly some more to divulge the user information as well? As far as I understand ohp, the model assumes that the three parties are not aligned which is

So, who can have access to the data that fastly has access to? Because it seems that url by url the chrome browser will send the entire history to a third party.

Redirect the question to chat gpt, read the response aloud. I think that this was mentioned initially in the post but might be in error. Chat gpt is not necessary, as far as someone else is giving the answers.

Totally legal, it is the candidate who can be in trouble, but the tool maker cannot be liable unless the tool's purpose cannot be anything but illegal use.

As the other commenter said, interest rates. When the rates are low, money are put in the economy and if there are too much money, people start using them for stupid shit like crypto and overhiring. When the money become too much, interest

It is like you did not read the first sentence of the comment that you are replying to. I'll repeat it in another form: the gp implied that human sacrifice is sufficient enough to discard any other achievement of the society in questio

At the same time, making sure that those with the wrong religion and/or skin tone would die rather easily was still accepted practice of the time. I my other comment I gave a few examples how mass casualty policies were introduced with

Think about the GP comment though: "they've had achieved statehood with a complex society, but they were killing people for religious reasons". And the religious reasoning underpinned a major part of the colonial effort.

The reason is mostly the tone I think. Too sharp and makes statements that are both uncomfortable and hard to argue against. A counter argument could be constructed, but it would be difficult and backlashing is easier.

It did not. Introduced the idea that the "negroes" could be just like the white man in the political discourse through an influential politician, but the effect was short-lived and Woodrow Wilson made sure that the races would be

At this point you are just looking for reasons for me to be deserving of your righteousness. I can't take part in your inner struggles, so please don't feel obliged to include me in the discussion.
