Let me help answer that question by abstracting away the charged element and disambiguating the most common point of actual logical contention: Should doctors be forced to perform <P:procedure> they don't…
Perhaps you'd like a rephrasing: A EULA can never bind you into a legal contract that has consequences beyond those already provided for by a law or the ability of the copyright holder of the software to deny use of the…

There was a lot of that going around yesterday. For me the most amusing was Twitch.
Heh. Gotta love how the default filter already blocks ||sourceforge.net^
Er, okay. Well, I don't agree¹ with your method of evaluating trustworthiness (which seems to me rather too quantized and "chastity"-minded), but at least you know exactly what you're doing and who you're trusting. [1]…
Whoa what. Are you suggesting that suspicion of possibly maybe having put a trojan in someone else's files somewhere is grounds to make all one's efforts useless and poisons everything else you do? Geeze, I guess we…

Possible? Sure. Brute-force solution is to consider all possible arrangements of numbers 1-9 in a 9x9 grid, filter that down to those that match the conditions of a completed grid, then iterate over the list of possible…
Yes, but if you do so you become eligible for charges of Conspiracy for High Tech Fraud, and a Conspiracy charge opens up a whole other can of worms you really don't want to mess with.
Oh, then that's simple. The $30,000 USD corporation pays a fine of $374, reparations for the officer's time to the tune of $41.75, and then is severely reprimanded with a warning not to do it again on threat of further…
Even if the money were sentient and capable of arguing for itself and defending its own case better than a good lawyer, here's what would happen: You can only authorize a legal person to use computer equipment. It is…

Arithmetic savants and trained arithmeticians can come a lot closer to the calculator, showing that the usual human brain layout and/or architecture is a really poor fit for performing this type of calculations. There's…
Only if the architecture itself is unsafe and does not enforce timeline consistency. It's relatively easy and simple (on the scale of programming a black-box automaton that runs our universe) to code a completely…

The White House responded to comments and inquiries with funny gifs. Now some random google employee can't put one measly harmless little easter egg somewhere in their product that says "Hah, take that, Competitor!"? We…
180k$ USD, if I plan well, will last me ten years. By third-world standards, I live like a rich noble from Siliconvalleystan. If I didn't have a SO and knew where I could get a fake replacement identity quickly enough?…
I'm glad you took the time to elaborate on this. It's impressive how quickly people came to conflate "AI" with either the general human-level form of intelligence or things they've seen in movies.

The trick here is the required 2000$ deposit upon obtaining a reserved spot in the course. This 2000$ is refunded (with fees deducted, I would guess) 6 months after the end of the course if no job offers were made to…
