The FAA might take objection too. Some places won't let you have lasers within a certain range of an airport. Also, what happens if the mosquito turret mistakes a 747 for a mosquito? Sounds like an effective way to blind pilots. Cool

It's additionally odd given that the GOP is (allegedly) the party of "personal responsibility" . You would think this translates to expecting parents to supervise children, rather than have "government interference"

You've made a lot of interesting points, but I disagree with you, let me try to explain why. I'm generally of the understanding that consciousness is marked by being with reflexivity. That can definitely be applied to non-biologic

From the abstract it sounds like the author here is drawing a false equivalence between consciousness and intelligence. Reading more into the article, it really sounds like this is the case. More specifically, it sounds like the only connec

I love your idea, and this is something I can see myself using (and very well might!). What would really be the killer feature for me would be something that would let me view a collection of discussion about a specific book I'm readin

He's had a few guests on that are outside the realm of a computing/science/ect podcast (IE: Michael Malice, Yaron Brook, Joe Rogan), so I can see where you might be coming from. That being said, I think he's pretty good

All these sorts of things were cooked up in the depths of some HR department somewhere, likely by people who fundamentally don't understand technical skillsets. They provide some level of false utility by allowing people to compartment

This law is trivially easy to get on the wrong side of. Something like this would be definitely in scope of the anti-terror law you're talking about. American HN users beware.

You're not missing anything. I've developed a prototype blockchain for a supply chain before at the behest of a non-technical manager at some point. You hit the nail on the head with the problem of crossing into the real world. Yo

This causes some interesting questions about continuity of accountability for governments. I wonder how long you can hold a government accountable for the actions of its previous administrations. How many years can you go back? How many ite

Potentially culture. There's a lot of supernatural events that are reported everywhere (not saying they're real). It's entirely possible that American culture means those kinds of events are more likely to be interpreted as U

This comment really is at odds with a lot of current research, especially with respect to harm reduction and medical usage. The exact opposite of your theory is pretty clearly demonstrated in the medical literature with respect to risk esca

It would be interesting to see how legalization in countries like Canada curbs this. Weed dealers are rarely just selling weed, and often harder drugs. To me it's not clear if this means "cannabis use leads to higher risk behaviou

This looks really cool, however the long setup leads me to wonder how much time I'll spend maintaining this over something like a Ghost droplet on Digital Ocean.

Given that this is the BBC and not a technical source, I'd be more willing to write this off as the author having no idea what a self-propagating network worm's implications are.

I fail to see anything contradictory here. As an example, there's nothing contradictory about "a small outbreak of a highly contagious virus". Large outbreaks necessitate an initial small outbreak.

There's a few sides. Sometimes giving the moderator too much power means they also have too much power of abstention. If they selectively don't enforce rules, toxic behaviour can be enabled. Worse when rules are enforced against o

A qualified absolutely. I love to build side projects, and generally the first iteration is very poorly built. If your goal is to put "ideas on paper" so to speak, then you're 100% right. This could even make it to early prod

To me this sounds like an example of bad practice commonly implemented. Along the lines of the litany of open source projects who's install instructions involve CURLing a shell file into sh directly. It's bad practice, but so comm

Ockham alternative: the number of users exceeded the capacity of the system. This has nothing to do with being shut down like Parler if that is what you're asking. That'd be a leap of logic based on very little evidence. Were it h
