Ironically those on a government payroll are much easier to manipulate and control. Education is not subsidized only because it's a public good.
Sure, for those who could upgrade their servers in a day that's fine. For some, it might be relevant to assess the actual risk of being exploited while you figure out how to upgrade the PHP 5.x (or 7.x whatever) stack.…
Well, it would be a $3001 TV without the extra money they collected on the side...

FWIW, this theory was attempted in court with a bittorrent case in Hong Kong. [1] Defendant's lawyer argued that seeding a copyrighted movie was not (active) distribution but merely "making it available" (which was not…
I think the reason was that in the early days of the Internet, people absolutely detested the idea that any entity related to the government (eg. your post office) could know who you are and your personal particulars.…
Being the only(?) competitive European model probably makes them a de-facto monopoly for doing sensitive European stuff.
But.. how does volunteering at homeless services help with climate change? I'm not saying volunteering isn't helping to create a better world, but there seems to be a disconnect in the logic.
At least if one is attempting to change the economic system, it would be tackling one actual thing that's preventing your desired change from happening. Maybe it will fail. There's no guarantee.
Maybe your optimism is what we need, but I don't see the logic of it. You've seen how the "money can't help itself". Individual choices matter only to a certain extent, and I haven't seen any evidence that "enough…
Of the thousands of people bored with a swarm of AI agents, is it not plausible that somebody would just say "hey, let's do a vibe check to see whether any CAs are trivially crackable"?
I've heard that millions of girls wanting to get rich look up to those "OF models" as role models. Pretty much in the same way that a significant number of people in tech who wants a good paying job looks up to people…
Please do some cursory research before guessing. First, adhering to the principle of openness and win-win cooperation while boosting innovation-driven development. Xi highlighted the importance of encouraging…

I personally disagree. I prefer the take described (in a sibling comment) by Lerc. But I want to note that your line of reasoning seems to be a perfect answer to "if God loves us and is omnipotent, why does God allow…
Are we supposed to ignore the irony that you typed this on a computer that is millions of times more powerful than the calculators you propose to forfeit? I'm not sure the world is better if everyone was forced to do…
"Prestige" is just a nicer way of saying "greedy for status and clout trying to write their name on new discoveries in blood". I don't think you disagree with the comment. Maybe it's a cynical way to describe the…
You're exactly right. That is why you do not do business with an entity you do not trust outside your jurisdiction. It's just that incidentally, "entity you do not trust outside your jurisdiction" also includes…

No, I simply don't believe changing the time I wash my clothes is a solution to the climate problems. It's crazy that you guys do.
> "I want to use my washing machine whenever I want" sounds like a very poor reason to destroy the environment. What the heck? Where is your evidence that using washing machines at inconvenient times is going to destroy…
I'm not very familiar with the US legal system, but doesn't Federal Law override any state law if there is conflict? Presumably any antitrust action taken by DOJ would be in accordance with federal law, so the state…
As far as I can tell, I can successfully call Gemini 4 via API now.
Just read the news. China over-production. Goods are cheaper than ever before but nobody wants to buy them. Greed is a myth. The only greed people have for is money, which is a creation by the capitalist machine. But…
Appreciate you citing your cases :) Don't know if GP's comment has any backing at all, but the statement that "not all judges agree" is probably literally true (though not necessarily meaningfully true), given that it's…
