>There is no way you can spin the argument such that the company would always derive higher profits by taking the moral choice. No, because it's nearly impossible to get even two people to always agree what the moral choice even is.

Almost all online login systems offer password reset by email. The moment another human has free access to my emails he effectively owns nearly all my accounts.

The Bohr model at least has simplicity going for it, and it's close enough to explain most things that are relevant to chemistry. For aircraft lift, "equal transit time" is not easier to understand than "an angled wing p

It's not about birthplace. People mostly don't care where the baby was born, they care how it was raised. It's really about culture. Birthplace, nationality and skin color just happen to be good indicators for culture.

>I suppose this also relies on national productivity being the product of, not the sum of individuals productivity. By that logic you can easily argue it's imperative to weed out those with productivity close to 0 (and below 1). Gr

I think it's more reasonable to call it a plateau than a ceiling. There's only so much energy the body can conserve in other activities. If you do six hours of exercise burning 1000 calories per hour, it's physically impossib

Not providing information to officials is one thing. Actively deceiving them with a map full of fake cars is a few steps further. I imagine quite a few countries' definitions of obstruction of justice could be met here

People purposefully disallowing copy-paste isn't a problem with PDF: in other formats they would have embedded a picture, at least with PDF you get the other advantages of proper text: infinite zoom and great compression. Sadly there&#

PDF is a perfectly fine and rich digital format. It also allows you to do proper copy and paste, which is much saner than anything paper offers. Sure, PDF is a light on context clues for automation and is targeted purely at humans. But form

It's very unclear how it works around the world in different legal systems. In comparison the CC0 spends a lot of words to work with all the jurisdictions where you can't legally give up all rights over a work. If you are operatin

And bridges and ports are among the priority targets for traditional air attacks to hamper enemy troop movements, supply lines and production capacity. I see no reason to prevent cyber attacks against them.

I assume this slipped through because the required certifications don't include rigorous requirements for electromagnetic interference on unlicensed bands? Or was this supposed to be caught in required testing?

Or pretend to have lost their passport and get a new passport without stamp. Or get a secondary passport that's made available by most governments because of issues like this one. But you are right in principle. Letting people through

I don't think such a system would be notably better than standard mashine learning. Reliable image categorisation means you often have to take a second look and interpret context. The internet is filled with images that Intentionally l

This would effectively make child pornography "normal" (at least as normal as other extreme fetishes). Many people fear that that would lead to more pedophiles acting on their urges. Then again some think that readily available ch

This example, and most simulations, seem to use an algorithm which is very close to "if there is space for me to drive, drive". In the medium term, I expect self driving cars will instead start to communicate with each other to fi

Without special APIs to request it, this would be as ubiquitous as cookie warnings, making it highly annoying (and thus a bad business decision for chrome). And at least for the case presented in the article proper APIs without this throttl

They throttle timer activation frequency if you use too much CPU time (with the goal of throttling CPU usage). How is the title not accurate?

"collapse of government" doesn't have to mean total collapse of infrastructure. Providing infrastructure is harder without government, but if you charge for the infrastructure anyway, you can just increase prices. It's o

Bitcoin behaves rather badly under global scale network partitions, or if your global network has a latency of over an hour. But on the other hand it is completely immune to collapse of governments
