Making the possession of data this either illegal or too horribly cumbersome. Flock is just an iteration, and getting rid of that brand won't fix it. And camera tracking of normal citizens is just an iteration -- not…
Publish enough docs to let someone write a full OS?
The Pixel line is, from what I can see, a tiny part of the smart phone market share. So, yes, I can buy a phone that I can mostly control (at the risk of losing access to some draconian apps). But most devices being…
You can't really spit in the hobby 3d printing world without hitting the community. I have coworkers who talk about their printers, filament choice, what they've printed recently, etc etc. I've been around hackerspaces…
Moot to anyone who died, but you'd still be charged with the crime of building a bomb and the crime of murder.
We need PII to be so toxic that companies run screaming from the liability unless they have explicit consent[1] and a legit reason to house it. A company selling me widgets wouldn't store or let another company store…
> I think the distinction between political appointee and scientist/researcher stands. I agree with this. I'm a civil servant and I know (personally; my work is nowhere near the labs) a number of people who work or have…
I've seen coworkers do this to each other when their expertise is in different domains. I find that AI can be incredibly useful, but just text dumping its output into a conversation feels insulting.
It was partially completed lowers before this, and general machine tools before that. I support gun control. This feels like theater, not gun control.
They don't want perfection. They want to move things forward, for their definition of forward. If they ban bog standard VPNs and find out they're still being used, they'll punish the VPN companies. If the VPN companies…
What would happen if you honestly listed your earnings on your tax forms?
Solar power is not free. You can decide to not fix the panel that was being used to power a GPU. Or you could sell the power back. Or you could put it in a battery bank for when the sun is down. Or, if none of those are…
I have no clue. But I do think that this is a much better start than letting companies ignore the impact to software consumers or having open source devs be on the hook for volunteer work.
How so? I'm thrilled that companies are liable for crap that ends up hurting other people. I don't think they should get an easy way out, and I also like that there's a carve out for people who aren't making money off…
That's apparently already changing in the EU, where software vulnerabilities mean the company is liable for damages. The only way out is to straight up not make any money (not just from direct sales) from the software.
Are "your guys" a guerrilla force or something? Because the military doesn't give soldiers rifles with guard rails. They give the soldiers intense, rigid training, and then try to enforce discipline and correct use…
A not thoroughly thought out response: Those people would heavily incentivized to protect their ability to vote.
If you sell something to someone and they do computer crimes, you're going to have to prove that you couldn't've known that they're a computer crimer. It's the same thing with selling general offensive security tools.…
I don't think that using LLMs for medicine is an appropriate fix for the US's healthcare issues. Unless healthcare businesses decide to improve patient care with AI instead of increasing patients per day, I think it's…
Calling people dogs by analogy is not great. That aside, corporations and groups don't make decisions. People do. We can understand and empathize with what led them to that decision (and sometimes we might be looking at…
As other commenters pointed out, rubber/plastics fail. Littmann sells repair kits.
Bike lanes exist to protect cyclists from drivers and to limit how cyclists affect the flow of traffic. Cars stopping in the bike lane shit all over that, just like they would if they parked on the sidewalk. I wish…
Your points seem focused on the bottom line and short term extraction of labor from employees, versus actually building a long-term community of healthy, productive people. Like this: > will start making people think…
Doctors are continually interviewed every time a patient gets pissed and sues them or files a board complaint. If there's any fault they're (very publicly) assigned remedial training or put on a PIP. They're also in…
If I had a roommate who spent huge swaths of our monthly budget on house cleaning we didn't need, I might tell them to go find another place to live. Or to stop stretching metaphors.. The investors should be mad that…
