That's overly simplistic. AML laws serve more purposes than simply catching money laundering, they discourage the underlying crime in the first place. Discouraging that can't be counted, yet you are saying is "AML…
The public option was killed by Arlen Specter, a Democrat, who refused to go along with the other Democrats. Rs were united, which made his defection critical. Kind of like how Joe Manchin throws a wrench in the works…
The state-run exchanges solution was itself a compromise for Republicans and on the fence Democrats, particularly Arlen Specter, who feared a federal healthcare system would inevitably lead towards universal healthcare.…
Did the same thing. I guess it's fine if he doesn't want anybody to share his website, but in that case ... Why have a website
The diesel is bad enough. Hope you've got a great air filter, or the ability to move.
This is fun, but the game doesn't seem to accept that a pair of aces is a winning result. Aces specifically, other face cards work as intended.
As someone who has studied financial crashes extensively, I agree with you but worry that we lack the regulations. All these bank-ish companies offering credit cards are having impacts on the money supply (every loan…
Running a system that allows a fat fingering mistake like that to go through is yet another sign of their gross incompetence.
It's more complex than just that. Sure, there's the people trying to make a dollar who are willing to do bad science in order to get the result they want. But there's also the general publication bias against…
"regulations slow innovation" is not a valid reason to ignore any regulation one finds annoying. That said, my problem isn't that he broke the rules. My problem is that, when confronted about having broken the rules, he…
The magazine I worked for at the time was about to publish an article claiming that DeepMind had failed to comply with data protection regulations when accessing records from some 1.6 million patients to set up those…
I think it's personality differences. The people who love being in the office probably do best in that environment and likely got promoted into leadership as a result of their interpersonal skills / ability to navigate…
I agree completely. AI model trainers should have to pay the people who provide their training materials, and there should be a default assumption of opting out until someone or their company explicitly opts in.…
I think you're being overly charitable, because he's not really interested in governance writ large. He long ago decided what he thinks the best government system is, and sees everything political through that lens: is…

Read this as "tacos," came expecting some pointlessly quirky OS filled with taco references (perhaps arguments are "fillings", passed to objects called "shells"), am now very disappointed
For what it's worth, sapiens was generally hated by academic anthropologists but Dawn of everything is generally hated by everyone else. Graeber was always expressly advocating for one specific (anarchist) viewpoint in…
We truly do live in an incredible time. The first human immune to aging has likely already been born. Hypothetically, given enough luck, an immortal human probably walks among us. We're that close to being able to…
No, this is a terrible metaphor, because the 14th amendment in this example doesn't exist. Imagine a US without a constitution, but instead it just has a big body of case law and precedent to go on. The judiciary's role…
What issue specifically are the conservatives in Israel mad about? Settlements. It's not about high political principles or abstract questions of balance of power. It's conservatives mad that the supreme court keeps…
OP was being disingenuous at best, as if the country could be brought to a standstill over a minor legislative change to allow one guy into Parliament
This law is intended to prevent the judiciary from finding settlements unreasonable. Aryeh Dery is the cover story.
Yes.
Anyone who runs a business knows you can't just apply your overhead costs to one part of it but not another. If I have to pay the energy bill, that applies whether or not I had the gas on. You're trying to handwave your…
> This is a loaded comment, because I think it's bullshit. The cost to process any payment of any size under the $10,000 AML threshold is constant, and functionally zero. Your argument fails here, because you are wrong…
