I also think that the effect of money on the law is corrosive, and while this kind of technology may level the playing field, that's not a universal good. Right now in some venues you can buy "the right lawyer" for a lot of m

This seems infeasible in the United States. If I've already agreed to a stacked arbitration process as part of a contract, isn't "the legal system" mostly out of the picture? All you're left is appealing to a compa

I just wish that calculation was in service of something other than maximizing federal power.

Is it possible that Apple could file for a declaratory judgement with respect to the All Writs Act, to remove the potential of the government filing substantially the same request at a later date? Until that happens, it seems like a very re

I've heard the same advice, and frankly I think it depends on how strong you feel your position is as well, and so I think it's really important to have a realistic model of your prospects. If you feel your job prospects are gener

I think he hoped to avoid being forced to run a honeypot meant to capture Mr. Snowden's communications.

Does this increase the chance of the order being vacated? What things can Levison still not talk about, aside from the identity of the target?

I'm curious about whether this is going to be a net win or lose for safety. If users treat these automated cruise systems as a "magic self-driving device" when it can potentially make mistakes or hand back control when it&#x2

I think it's in quotes because prime numbers have a probability distribution, but it's (obviously) not a uniform distribution. I think that the article is trying to say that there are more subtle rules around the distribution tha

Have you tried empathy? Most people are just, y'know, doing their things. They have likes and dislikes, strengths and weaknesses. Some of them are actually pretty terrible, but I don't think that's a universal quality of hu

The idea of this vector has been around for a while. I recall an apocryphal story about a demo of a voice-controlled OS from the 1990s. The idea was that in the middle of this demo someone shouted out a sequence of destructive commands, li

Selective enforcement is a thing. Lying to the FBI in the course of an investigation is a crime, and because the lie can be about something the FBI already knows, it's frequently used as a proxy for actual crime. What happened to reti

Yeah, I'm going to assume that the billions still slated for the F-35 and B-21 bomber will still be spent.

There is literally no presidential candidate who supports Apple's position. The Republican field (now that Rand Paul quit) supports the FBI. The Democratic candidates want to strike a balance between giving the FBI what it wants and g

Only context I could find was the caption photo: "Denis McDonough, President Obama’s chief of staff. He met with Apple last month."

(1) By definition, if the law provides no remedy, there is no legal recourse; I meant the law mandating the requirement, not "all law". It's possible that there's another law dealing with the execution of duties, simil

Right, but you being bothered doesn't have any legal weight. It's kind of like the torture thing (excuse me, "enhanced interrogation"). It's plainly against the law, but your counsel has a novel legal theory about

So is there any legal recourse against the public servant who violates the law, if the law itself provides no penalties? In short, if this isn't punished, why won't it happen repeatedly?

This might fit in the "obvious" bucket, but Turing Robotics has no relation to Turing Pharmaceuticals.

What are the names of the "other American intelligence agencies" involved? The CIA is mentioned, but I can't tell if it's already included or not, given the examples in the article. Is the Drug Enforcement Agency one of

When your officers carry guns, there's an implicit duty to never lose control of that weapon in a situation, and that necessitates a certain distance, often "enforced" with a gun. You don't want to end up grappling with

Just in case I'm missing it, the story is that there's a National Security Counsel "Decision Memo" defining a strategy, but that memo has not been leaked?

It would be good to have aliases for some foods. I was trying it on my own cooking, which involved "bok choi" and "onion". I didn't find "bok choi", but I did find "chinese cabbage", which is a

I do the same thing, but I expect that advertisers have our number, in the same way that they track hits to their website when their TV ad or product placement runs in a market. The ad happens, sometimes we respond.

I thought it was interesting that roboadvisors like Wealthfront also charge a percentage of assets, instead of a flat fee. I have Vanguard funds already, and the free tier of Wealthfront. If Wealthfront seems to be doing a better job, I w

Is there anything in the article to support the claim in the title, that the car was "illegally searched"? As much as it galls me, my understanding is that this kind of thing is procedurally legal. Drug dogs can "alert"

Nice. I'd previously written a similar FUSE-based one-way filesystem, but I never did publish it. "Go laziness!" The two applications that caught my eye were "home security cameras" (which the docs allude to) and
