Almost every machine in the world participates in at least one peer-to-peer network: Windows Update. There was a time when the Steam client also used bittorrent technology, not sure if they still do.

A person who has no awareness of the problem should not be the first responder in cases like this, that's just a recipe for further escalation.

I'm not sure I understand what you're getting at. You seem to be on purpose comparing apples and oranges here: for an AI, we're supposed to include the entire training set in the definition of its input, but for a human we do

A web of trust is transitive, meaning that the endorsers are known. It would be trivial to add negative weight to all endorsers of a known-fake paper, and only sightly less trivial to do the same for all endorsers of real papers artificiall

What do you mean with "is the language open source"? The Ada specification is public [0] but not open source -- but the C and C++ specifications are not open source either, in the normal sense of the term. And like with C and C++,

The CFAA wants to have a word. The fact that a server responds with a 200 OK has no bearing on the legality of your request, there's plenty of precedent by now.

You're being too generous. Once you are targeted for whatever reason, you are not a citizen unless you manage to publicly prove that you are, and they will fight tooth and nail to deny you any such opportunity.

old MMO from 2011 It makes me very angry to realize that the same people who decided to completely destroy that game still get to obstruct and/or receive benefits from any third-party effort for 61 more years.

I'd like to think that a company the size of Microsoft can afford to have incident response teams in enough time zones to cover basic operations without relying on night shifts.

Please stop calling ICE law enforcement, that just gives gives them a veneer of legitimacy. What they enforce is not law, it's the whims of a despot.

Only looking at hiring % doesn't mean anything if we don't know the composition of the hiring pool. For example, page 64 shows that Google's APAC offices have 90.7% Asian workers, up from 90.4% a year earlier -- at the expens

I fail to see any difference between "congress passing a law that is in violation of another law" and "federal regulations mandating that laws be broken". Can you explain how these situations differ quitely, other than t

Computers are different, because of zero-cost copying. It's much easier to achieve a digital monopoly than with physical-world products. That should also mean that antitrust enforcement should be stronger on software companies, and

This to me overstretches the definition of teaching. No, a human baby is not "taught" language, it learns it independently by taking cues from its environment. A child absolutely comes with an innate ability to recognize human sou

Present-day adults have been raised in a society where overt sexualization has been the norm for decades. I see normalization of lewdness as a logical consequence of 60 years of sexualization in media, and the growing resistance against it
