Unless the corruption is so clear and irrefutable and the media actually presses hard enough that Modi decides it's time to throw Adani under the bus to save himself. But that's a high bar I assume... If the rest of the world we

Exactly. It's not 'too big to fail,' it's 'too big for the Government to let fail.'

Another attempt to basically recreate forums at scale again, just like them all before. If you can't moderate against your policies at scale, you'll be no more successful. Even using 'clever' AI and algorhythms is usele

I feel it's more important to ask "why would we really want a flapping drone, other than 'fun toy?' Faking out birds seems to me like a poor answer.

I think that's an excuse to not argue against (also, how many is 'some people?' Wiping out entire fields is not a tiny negative, much as it might be 'inevitable'). "Hey let's just wait and see shall we.&

Tell me how those are 'ideas?' I imagine there are plenty of people that prefer Autotune voices for some reason too. Doesn't mean everyone needs to agree that it's good in itself or for artists.

It is indeed a more complex scenario than it first appears. I think the lawsuits have a case if they can prove copyrighted images were taken and used directly in the commercial product. The moral arguments about AI and it's use and abu

Do I need to? It is entirely logical that Exxon would research the things that are either a threat to, or benefit to their future profits. The larger the potential, the more research.

"Supports policies" is nothing tangible in itself. Exxon will do whatever makes them the most money possible. If 'green energy' turns out to be that thing, they'll jump on it.

Well we certainly wouldn't want to go around encouraging this sort of thing, think of all the other poor billionaires that might be affected!

They're not at school all day instead of with a parent/friend/relative/etc. Homeschooling is also not just doing the classroom at home, though that is how some parents unfortunately do it.

If you think about it, the only scenario where that is actually useful is the corporate workplace. Homeschooling children will interact with people in the context of their parents in all places in society their parents visit, and there are

This would not support that suicides dropped though would it? Kids would be online more and likely face bullying continuation. Not that I disagree with it generally being a horrible scourge on childhood experience.

I assume no consideration appears to be made for "children spend more time with family" and so gain the health benefits of such a thing. Modern society is way to busy downplaying the importance of foundationally secure emotional c

Yes this is something the article doesn't really address. Architecture diagrams are often not produced for technical people, or need to contextualise one domain for another. Solution architecture is in one sense an art of communicatio

Indeed, being able to tell a cop you'll have your long list of very expensive lawyers contact them has a habit of slowing them down amazingly quickly. If only law enforcement faced severe penalties for abusing their power, given they s

To be clear I'm talking about larger scale (or involving the 'elite' class) crimes, not the things everyday folk get caught up in, which generally proceed quite a bit quicker.

You have to remember that Federal investigations don't work like that. They don't arrest (even if it appears obvious) and then build evidence; they build a strong case quietly then arrest (look up Prenda Law for a good story on t
