Let's all move to a system where, once someone has taken a fraudulent loan in your name, it gets put on a permant record that can't ever be changed or undone, what a great idea! You'd think that crypto proponents would have l

If you're yelled at, boycotted, have your show canceled, or get banned from an internet community, your free speech rights aren't being violated. It's just that the people listening think you're an asshole and they'

Yeah, I wish the author looked into the first issue more. What if you review it from your "past orders" page instead of searching for it in the store?

How could you possibly use bayesian updates to calculate the true priors based on only one sample? That's like saying "I have calculated that the sun will never rise again" after seeing it set for the first time in your life.

What? That makes no sense. What infrastructure? What strengths? All you're doing is solving hash puzzles because some people arbitrarily decided that solved hash puzzles have value.

No it isn't. You could do the same thing with dollars in the mail. All bitcoin does is make it easier to commit shady transactions.

The Uber crash was not a failure of the AI, it was a failure of the UX. The car saw the obstacle and detected a collision, but there was no warning system to alert the driver about it. Meanwhile, the driver was looking at a laptop and takin

Tell that to Youtube. Youtube has never made a dollar in profits. Did Google destroy it as soon as they acquired it in 2008? No: Google is propping it up as a loss-leader and incentive to sweeten the deal by bundling their other more profit
