I think it kinda makes sense considering that Autopilot is going to need constant maintenance/updates/investigations, plus the whole legal liability thing. Autopilot is a service.

Can you explain (or link to an explanation for) your conclusion that there exists "overwhelming biases at most news publications", or even at the NYT in particular? I'm particularly interested in anything quasi-rigorous (i.e.

To examine the ethics of web scraping, I think it's useful to strip away all the technical trappings and just look at it as an interaction between two people. We'll call them Chloe the Creator and Sam the Scraper. Chloe has expend

It's evidence of what the person who wrote it thought at the time they wrote it. Your epistemology seems self-serving.

What would constitute evidence in this context? To me, this statement which was: * made contemporaneously with the investigation * by experts * not intended for public consumption is evidence. It's not a formal proof, but it's evi

In your second paragraph, are you referring to the redactions? The document contains quotes like this: "Russian General Staff Main Intelligence Directorate actors … executed cyber espionage operations against a named U.S. company in A

It seems your claim is half true. "The idea that there is this new thing call decertification is inaccurate," says Scot Horst, USGBC's senior vice president for LEED. "The way LEED works is we have a rating system; you s

This idea that a billionaire is being persecuted because people wrote articles about a SuperPAC he started in order to manipulate public opinion is ludicrous. Playing devil's advocate may be intellectually satisfying for you but I beli

Isn't the blockchain, and therefore the hard-forking mechanism, also code?

Why is "hacking a smart contract" OK but "hard forking in response" is not?

With all the stuff that's come out over the past six months, I don't see how you can dismiss it out of hand like this. For anyone reading who is not super engaged with these matters, please know that this is a lot more than just a

I don't see how this is defensible at all. It's both malicious and stupid, along with being a poor business choice. He gambled away money that wasn't his (betting on his own company), and concealed it from the people the mone

The problem with your worldview is it leaves you totally unprepared for the scenario when the other side genuinely elects an evil or destructive person. It presumes there's always a rough moral equality between the two sides. We have h

Your criticism here is that he expressed his opposition to Trump with too much "melodrama"? That's pretty weak. Sometimes dramatic things happen. Sometimes dramatic language is warranted.
