You don't seriously think people order drugs to their own addresses, right?

Ok, so just move to Monero. Or use a mixer. Mindblowing, I know.

It's about creating an illusion that you can control it. Recently a lot of people have been invoking Terminator-esque visions of AI slipping out of control and becoming the worst threat to humanity's survival. Obviously if this we

It looks like it's just a way of reassuring the "common people" that all AI systems are good, under human control, and helpful. Google's AI is often centered on surveillance, profiling, marketing, and exploitation. We ar

Not everything has to be modeled scientifically in order to be true. Science is not the only source of truth.

I don't like these "share to unlock" features, I don't have accounts with twitter or facebook.

Science confirms what we've known for a long time - humans are unique in their ability to act according to morality, instead of pure survival value. We have eaten from the tree of knowledge of good and evil and have free will. Animals

Weird, I'd expect that since they've achieved a 100% success rate, they could get at least 50% in real life scenarios. Also this could be played in stores to get the phones of customers to search for certain phrases.

I remember there was an advertisement on TV where an actor would say "okay google, what is X?", and the phones nearby would search for that phrase. With this, any advertisement could be made to activate nearby phones to search for

I'm using DuckDuckGo every day, but I wish DuckDuckHack was easier to contribute to. Maybe something like letting users load their own modules for local use, and public repositories? I'd like to help improve instant answers and wi

It's a fork of uBlock, so it has the exact same base functionality, but as an additional benefit it helps fight the ad industry actively.

AdNauseam instead of uBlock, uMatrix instead of privacy badger and noscript.

Forceful reorganization of society inevitably turns into bloodshed in 100% of cases, and that rarely improves standards of living. The human civilization is in a state of constant chaos and nobody can tell or influence where it will be take

Good, the less effective various spying techniques are, and the easier they are to throw off, the better the internet is for its users. I don't want any website owners to know what device, browser, or other program, I use to access the

God forbid somebody makes a joke! This is a professional website, grim attitude is required.

I knew this quote was going to be eventually posted and misused in defense of this. The thing with quotes is that you can pull up a quote from someone to defend any position you can think of and it's not an argument. You're still

Most people don't have the analytical approach engineering-minded people have. They understand most of their surrounding reality in terms of blackboxes. Pull a trigger and a bullet comes out. Press a button and receive a parking card.

It's sad that these "get everyone and their dog into 'coding'" initiatives by large companies are just attempts to provide cheap workers for themselves in the future. There's so many of them, and yet there&#x27

I just tried logging in through github and I noticed that it still needs my email. When I try providing one, it shows me a "not found" message.

No, it means its value is lower if governments try to mess with something they don't understand and want to ruin in fear of their power being diminished.

What do you mean "no reason"? Supply and demand are the reasons the prices are shaped the way they are. It's a near perfect market.

If it's all moved to the backend, then we win, because then we can easily control what data is being collected.

Probably not everyone would be willing to create their own user tracking solutions, most websites use third party analytics, which can be handled by generalized rules. For those that do roll their own solutions, per-website block lists woul

Does this shed a new light on the mystery of why the area of modern Poland was spared, remaining largely unaffected by the plague? Also it makes a certain novel sound a little bit less realistic.
