Thinking outside the box, that pill could be part of a more involved system where it triggers the release of nutrition that was consumed earlier. It doesn't have to be a completely self-contained solution.

With the conflict of interest being so obvious, the market share so massive, and the amount of controversial decisions increasing both in number and impact - isn't it about time for authorities to put some oversight and controls in the

I've always found these sort of sprints to be immensely valuable too. My theory for their disappearance is that most managers failed to properly measure their effectiveness. Edit: Many times I've seen this fail was caused by not h

An individual's reality is whatever their brain decides to make of it in the moment. Whatever it is matters not, they're now living it, and only they can change it. Fighting this "metaverse" from down here is pointless.

This is gold! Considering Humanity's capacity and even drive for destruction (entropy incarnate, that's us), by having handed us this concept they will have certainly accelerated the destruction of potentially hostile civilisation

I've said it before and I'll say it again: Ad blockers and other such tools are just as essential for ADHD users as ramps are for wheelchair users. Their continued existence and unhindered operation should be legally protected. Go

The concept of "Eminent Domain" entails the state taking private property specifically for public use always. Which is why I mentioned it in relation to open source, separately from forfeiture :)

IANAL: As I understand it, dotcom domain names are leased rather than owned. Either way, if squatting of high value domains were illegal, you could make the case for some form of (civil) asset forfeiture, or eminent domain if the taker is a

If they'd start strong-arming the world's nations into taking drastic climate action soon, they might just have enough time to transform their recently acquired territories in Africa into a food factory before their current stores

I suppose they don't really have anything about this acquisition that they want to share with us, but it'd be weird to say nothing at all.

It must in no way be possible for any of these companies to ever run a non-verified decryption mechanism on any single server, computer, or other type of device. There are so many moving parts to manage, infinite possibilities for abuse, an

This disproportionately affects all encrypted data. Also, I imagine a lot of non-nefarious encryption is done to hide data from the same entities that would be in control of the proposed back-door.
529.
by krono 5y ago
That's a fair point. The nature of encryption complicates this slightly though. If the purpose of encryption is to make data unreadable, but a back-door exists that allows anyone with access to it to bypass the encryption, can the data

That's precisely why both are available in a highly regulated fashion rather than completely outlawed.

Guns exist solely to hurt or kill, there isn't much else you can do with them that's legal. Drugs, I believe some of them probably should be legal.

Claiming that whatever has not been proven false must be true is the exact opposite of how it works. We have evidence and even admittance of abuse / improper handling in the past, but I'm unable to find any evidence that things ha
