It would be interesting to know if the problems simply moved elsewhere. Why pay to vandalize when you can vandalize somewhere else for free?

It will need to be very, very different from the book unless they go retro-futurist. Like Foundation, as they mentioned. I hope it fairs better than Gibson's other adaption, The Peripheral. Like many things I liked, cancelled after one

We should be more worried about who placed the losing bets then. Russia, Israel and China having a market for government and military officials to accept their bribes is kind of a bigger story than insiders fleecing gamblers.

A bet against an event is win/win if you want that event to occur. If you are a country that wanted the US to strike Iran, placing a large number of bets that they won't either gets you what you want or earns you money. It is one

Not sure how you can say that about upstart. It was pretty much the accepted successor to shell scripts for an init system, for a few years until Redhat started pushing systemd. You would probably be using it now if Debian hadn't gone
127.

Similarly upstart, from 2006, widely deployed before Redhat brought in systemd. And got dropped when Debian decided to go with systemd. Surprising how this gets misremembered given the hate systemd initially received.

Where does clean data come from, and how do you know it is untainted? I can't think of any source of novel information that might not have been smoothed by LLM tools. In cases like 'the news', it is impossible as what is bein

I hope that isn't a simple drop down selector listing all tabs... feature might be a complete non-starter for some of us with a few too many open tabs.

Fewer and fewer countries. I think none of the countries I've been too where I've purchased a SIM without ID allow that anymore. It is required to try to limit purchase by scam call centers and to enable phone number portability.

Most people are also using keyboards less, spending more time waggling their mouse or having a break watching youtube. And people who are mostly employed to type, doing data entry or similar, have problems and physical therapists who unders

The pilot is for people unable to get to a polling booth. Traditionally, we use postal votes for this. But postal votes enable voter fraud (primarily selling your vote), so we can only use it for a small portion of votes or results become t

This is an eVoting system - not at a ballot box. There is no printer. And even if there was, a similar problem can occur if you lose the keys. And you need keys because the printout cannot be voter verifiable, or you enable the various form

Sentience as defined in the paper is a really low bar. Personhood probably requires consciousness, if we could define and test for that.

Good on them for defining what they mean by 'sentience'. I think it is the definition where my thermostat exhibits sentience.

Seems very similar to turning on compiler warnings. A load of scary nothings, and a few bugs. But you fix the bugs and clarify the false positives, and end up with more robust and maintainable code.

Does Dell design and/or build their own laptops? Depending on the year it is likely just their brand and specs, designed and built by an ODM.

Curious if we are already seeing effects because of this in significantly reduced calcium and phosphorous levels, or if any reduction is largely dietary. Conversely, can you really use calcium and phosphorous levels as a proxy if they are d

Maybe better, but still doesn't address the underlying problem. Governments print bits of paper and citizens need to scan and upload them to be validated by a 3rd party. Lots of obvious waste there. Legislating this approach is just en

Trick is to not get into the unwinnable situation. I think the correct response is to not shield clients from blame when they refuse or are unable to comply with court orders and throw them under the bus. Which is what Julie Le did when she

Governments around the world could setup, in solidarity with the US, freedom.ca, freedom.eu etc. Hosting provided by Pornhub. Maybe Pornhub could even start registering the TLDs now where available.

Age verification is required for age limited servers and channels. The vast majority are not age limited and will remain available without verification. As has happened in the past, more of the remaining channels will turn off age limiting

There are servers that require a phone number to have been provided, I think in an attempt to stop harassment and sock puppets.

Its particularly interesting for the Australian laws (which don't target Discord yet). The law places responsibility on the targeted platform if they are found with underage users. They must take 'reasonable steps' or face f

Sites need to deal with Australia, which punted all responsibility to the platforms and provided no real assistance (like say the government half of the eID system that manages all the keys and metadata)
