Computerphile has a series of videos on AGI that touches on this topic, using the lens of "define a human to a computer," a seemingly simple task with a huge slew of ramifications that come with it. Basically exploring whether or

2FA would be great, so long as SMS isn't the only option every time. I've moved to a much more tech savvy bank these days, but there was a long while were my bank's website was, by a hilariously wide margin, the least secure

So what happens when the three offered domains become widely known to be fake? Can this service be federated and use custom domains or is it just another game of whack-a-mole?

That's some awfully pessimistic and dehumanizing language. I just consider it to be paying someone for the trouble rather than jumping straight to "exploiting greed."

I would imagine sperm banks do something similar. They have standards for who they accept, they won't take donations from just anyone. And I really doubt they just roll dice and give you a random man's sperm. Sleeping with some pe

I say this every chance I get, but Github can and will hold your code ransom if your premium account lapses while you still have private repos. They do not give you the option to set those repos to public, they require you to pay money to r

Waaaay too much scrolljacking on this site. You cannot keep the page footer on screen, it forces your browser to scroll up unless you scroll down constantly to keep the page in place.

That is nothing but a strawman argument. Please raise your level of discourse, this isn't reddit.

Your private repositories have been locked unless you pay money. You cannot set the private repo to public, you must pay. Except GitHub actually tried to do that to me for real, and failed. Luckily, they unlocked the repos while trying to c

This is usually how it's done. See, for example, OpenMW. It extracts the resources from your already-installed copy of Morrowind during the installation. E: Also, some total conversion mods will make a copy of your game installation, t

I smoke and drink beer, but the difference is I drink fewer beers when stoned than I typically do when sober. I'll probably drink three or four depending on the day, but if I'm stoned, I might drink one beer? Maybe two? Typically

Pretty obvious patent trolling if they're only going for this rather smalltime developer and none of the high profile F2P game developers and big time game developers releasing AAA games with a premium currency.

Yeah, it interprets "functional" in "functional programming" using the more general definition of just being, basically, not broken. Which, I get it, it's fine. I'm a bit disappointed in the narrowness of the r
