Yes, I can imagine those dystopias - my point was that I don't imagine my choice to try 23andMe in 2019 is what dooms me - while others are saved by not making that choice.

I do worry about my data with them, but when I think about the worst-case scenario - you will not get insured (or have high rates) because you have {some genetic condition}.. it seems just as likely that they will simply require my DNA to a

That's true, PostScript is much higher-level and feels like a stack-based LISP. But, saying they just have RPN in common makes it seem like a small choice about the syntax - instead of a whole stack-oriented approach, which affects ev

I certainly don't know anything about the space, but by "matters more", I was thinking about caring more about what I am eating as opposed to how it was distributed. I suppose both are important, though.

I'm pretty sure the food supply sources are massively consolidated. I don't know about the delivery part or why that would matter more than the actual food production. A quick search will lead to quotes like "Four companies n

I can predict pretty well "Will person X die this year" by saying "No". Yeah, this number seems meaningless without more context.

You could be right about this being an excuse for some other reason, but lots of software has “safety tests” beyond life or death situations. Most companies, for better or worse (I say for better) don’t want their new chatbot to be a RoboHi

I clicked on a story and at the bottom, it lists "sources" (19 in this case). Following one of these sources (a lesser-known site), there is an article, and at the end it says "REUTERS". So, I guess its source was anothe

I'm guessing most executives and scientists at oil companies, Monsanto, banks, etc are educated at these same (often elite) universities. So, if they're teaching all these are pure evil, they are not doing a very good job.

So, this is Google Translate built running locally in Chrome? I wonder if it is a small/degraded model or limited languages? Otherwise, how is it not a simple way around the paid Google API?
