I can find both mining gold to store in basements and mining bitcoins incredibly stupid, selfish and irresponsible. They are not mutually exclusive.

This is going to be a problem in about 8,000 years tho.

It's not what I said; I didn't bring up Jason the serial killer.. my point was that you can't ask people to judge balance to risk when it comes to them.. That said, the false-negatives of people really being chased by serial

I am saying that in that case, you are not a good position to assess public good vs. "your good". Any human being would instinctively take slightly better odds for the themselves at the risk of much worst odds for others. With thi

If you are impaired by your stress level you probably should not drive. Putting other at risk to reduce your perceived risk is not a decision for you to make.

Somewhat related, but not long ago my Macbook had a bulging battery issue and the Apple just flat refused to service it under warranty because I would give them the credentials to unlock the bios. The "genius" told me "but yo

Can't you see this is a problem? Based on your argument,this rating system enables discrimination.

While you might be happy to pay more for kids, I see this as age based discrimination. I assume it's illegal almost everywhere. Uber is displacing taxi and should be held to the same standards.

You don't get to chose in most sizable organizations. Control and compliance are the terms IT/infosec will use to justify their painful requirements.

Some patient next to them are not even offered to be part of this draw, and winning this draw (i.e. getting the real medicine) may lead to severe adverse effects. It would be unethical if this placebo was given in place of a known working a

I think you should hit ctrl+d when you are done in bash to avoid the nested fish>bash>fish.

It makes sense when the compensations are incredibly high as demonstrated here..

I was also subjected to that.. it was insanely verbose had to type DEBUT_BLOCK instead of { and whatnot, all that in Borland C in DOS.. insane..

The terrified of everything portion of you comment still applies if we change "fairly bad flu virus with a 99% survival rate" to "extremely safe vaccine with 0.007 risk of adverse effects".

Those are baseless accusations based on poor understanding of ML. This behaviour is counterproductive. It is not susceptible to sway me towards your point of view, but instead discredit you and those holding similar opinions.

As someone who worked on ml based classification I can totally see a man being misclassified as a monkey on occasion. If you have man and monkey in the output vector, it will happen on from time to time.. If you find a way to achieve 100% a

One example doesn't support your claim that QA was not sufficient. You will always get misclassifications, most won't be offensive to anyone. This is not a medical device or a self driving car, this is Facebook trying to squeeze m

I think you don't understand how big company procurement work. Getting legal's and procurement's attention to look at this is more effort than its worth. The logistics of managing licenses, single sign-on, etc is a nightmare.

It more like if airbnb could somehow prevent competitors (say oxigenbnb) from reaching the internet.

This argument is nonsensical.. I should be able to use my fully-paid-for device how I see fit.

This line is indeed hard to define. I am not sure that such a limit would be enforceable even in China. However, it will have the side effect of making time gated games and other addicting dark patterns illegal or impractical, which it prob

Alcohol pretty much universally prohibited for minors and nobody calls that authoritarian. Governments have responsibility for the wellbeing of citizen, even against themselves (mandatory seatbelts comes to mind). Meanwhile, gaming addictio

The current situation with American megacorporations deciding unilaterally what is acceptable speech is also untenable.

FLQ predates seperation votes. For all we know, without the October crisis, our democratic society might have gone the Spain/Catalonia way.

A quick verification reveal that at 100k you pay 33% income tax in Quebec, and this is before any deductions. Education is very affordable at about 3k/year for university. House are out hand tho, but this is more related to older gener

Your point is fair, it's reasonable for Google to consider this options and this is why antitrust regulations are needed. In this, it looks like it's time for the gouvernement to step in.

My employer's mandatory proxy downgrades all HTTP/2, presumably so they can better inspect traffic. This results in a bad/slow experience on many sites. I wish HTTP/2 would not have downgrade at all so they would have to

I am Canadian. This is not true. Doctors are quickly available for check ups and basic stuff. Some surgery have long waiting list. I imagine 6 months would be typical for knee replacement. The good thing is that the thickness of your wallet

I care. For the same price I buy CD Projekt red games on gog, and I buy games on epic store rather than steam because I know more money goes to those who did the real work.
