This is not surprising nor recent. American politicians have been trying to dismantle the government for decades; almost immediately after the New Deal era. See also: regulatory capture, gerrymandering, campaign financing, etc.

Ultimately if you are made of flesh and blood any adventure you partake in is one small piece of lead away from ending. This is why guns are perceived as the great equalizer; no amount of bodyguards or telekinetic combat robots can stop a b

I would hope that in cases where a weapon is being used, the actual police are dispatched, since that is no longer a mental health case and actually just a full-blown violent crime.

This misses one particular market though, which is the users that don't care how "My Bikes" is displayed. This is the Shopify / Squarespace market; people that just want to sell/conduct their business, not design

This is a good comment. I think democratizing application building will have all sorts of wild effects on the near future.

I don't really see this as a Web competitor; all you need is for someone to throw together a dreamup.js and then it should work in every modern browser. No need for a proprietary application. Secondly, the Achilles' heel of instru

Admittedly it is a bit easier to blame the independent agent in this case where he lives in a state that provides a strong safety net and healthcare. In the US, where you depend on your employer for healthcare, you could make the case that

Do you have a link to the comic? I think it would do well in today's climate, but you definitely need to get rid of the "German" and replace it with something less general, maybe "Nazi"? (It works because VW actuall

This could be solved by a carbon tax. If the company lied about their emissions and got caught, you could retroactively charge them to make up for the difference, and then any profit they would have gained from skirting the regulations woul

Yes, to a degree, although the laws in the books have never been used against a single company like this before. We have laws preventing all American companies from cooperating with Iranian ones, such that I as an independent Mac app develo

There are other people talking about autoland, but it's actually meant to line the aircraft up with the runway and gently glide it down, and then the pilot deactivates it around 200-300ft off the ground to flare. It's not meant to

The problem is that OpenAI's motto is: "Discovering and enacting the path to safe artificial general intelligence." This does not mix well with very common AI tasks, such as facial recognition, deepfakes and deepnudes. With G

Is this meant to be sarcastic? (For context, the vast majority of the article was generated by GPT-3 itself).

They stand behind what they wrote despite every company mentioned publicly insisting the claims were BS, despite no evidence being presented then or now, despite the fact that it actively hurts their integrity? Why would they do that?

Same here. Just the ability to overlay text in the corner of your vision would be life changing. Combined with a Bluetooth keyboard and an ssh app, this could easily become the most mobile development device ever made. Google Glass made str

According to their ad page, 4chan has 22 million monthly visitors, which is not as large as Twitter’s 300 million, but I would argue is also not insignificant: https://4chan.org/advertise

Why would a screenshot of their tools warrant a content takedown? People have posted far worse things that have been allowed to stay up. It's not like there's any personal information visible in the screenshots.

Ideally an ethical debate would precede rule making. But last I checked nobody who didn't already work at Reddit was involved in making those rules; there was no site-wide referendum, no discussion with users, no warning that these dec

If you can't speak out or express thoughts against the rules, you are ceding your own ability to ever change the rules. Allowing a small subset of people to control the rules for the masses has never, will never, and could not ever wor

Scientifically speaking, what is the most probable estimate of how this emerged? From the news (and I know it's hyper sensationalized, so YMMV) it feels like this virus attacks the body in bizarre ways we have never seen from the coron
