Fortunately, we don't need a policy solution or to convince already-bought-and-paid-for-lawmakers to side with justice over profits. Solutions for liberating media of all kinds, from P2P file sharing to DRM-stripping, have roundly and

Of course you don't have a right to murder anyone. If someone is pointing a gun at you, I don't think the matter of whether you can justly defend yourself turns on who their employer is. The idea that you have to pause and figure

Your extreme example of a policy regarding distribution of heroin is far from perfect, but also far better than prohibition, which has visited upon the world more death, disease, crime, and cartel enrichment than perhaps any other policy in

Well, taking the example in the article about a formal verification to determine whether a regex is for a collection of phone numbers or countries, and if a country is specified as "America", to formally verify whether that means

Sure; I don't mean to suggest undoing basic physics. But there are plenty of ways (and plenty more each day) in which human and AI collaboration can fill power vacuums that don't require pseudo-sovereignty over huge landmasses or

The problem with the (accurate and useful) "silly behavior by a government" characterization is that, far too often, when governments behave and silly and childish ways, large corporations still treat their dictates as legitimate.

I don't mind it having the latest technology; I just don't want it to exist. How long do we think the US military will persist in the universe? 5,000 years? 1,000? 500? 100? Surely it's closer to the last among these an
