What’s wrong about it? It seems like the obvious assumption that running into intelligent alien civilizations, them figuring out that we exist, would be extremely dangerous.

What are the criticisms? Genuinely curious, have no idea what problems anyone might have with it, other than some quotes from the Ubisoft exec trying to act like implementing user run servers is borderline impossible
Wasn’t “delay deny defend” written on the bullet casings? The healthcare CEO was seemingly killed for how his company does business, a business that plays a central role in the lives of Americans and affects millions, the story here is not just about his bank account. You can argue that company affects people negatively. You could argue that politically motivated assassination in this case was good or justified. But I don’t think it’s a good argument to try to say that there is no reason to give such assassinations special attention, because there obviously is; preventing vigilante acts of assassination from being the determining factor in how the country is run.
Asked students what we wanted to spend our time in his class doing, actually followed through, and was then fired.
“We sort of figured out the whole picture a bit later,” Matt Stone said in response, “but that’s totally what happened.”
Wonder if this was at all awkward after the way they killed off the character with maximum disrespect
While I don’t approve of unethical health insurance companies, in general I think it makes sense to treat attempts at societal change through assassination of high profile figures differently than other murders. Consider that guy targeting democrat state congresspeople, or the unabomber. If there’s an expectation that this is just a normal part of how things work and the government isn’t able to catch or convict the assassins, that’s destabilizing for the whole country and brings us closer to something like a state of civil war.
When I was a kid, a lesbian couple came to my birthday party, gave me a hammer and a book about raising chickens, and let me visit the llamas on their farm. Absolutely made a difference for my perspective on stuff.
What would be effective ways to move away from the credit score system? One major problem I see is, credit score is used to decide who can rent an apartment, and it also affects your ability to get a mortgage. Fear of being locked out of housing is why I got a credit card, despite hating the concept of credit cards. Even if there are people who aren’t affected by this who can afford to opt out, it isn’t going to be practically possible for most.
I don’t think I would be a very impartial juror if I were on this case
Or black hat hacker confirming that a stolen credit card works without raising red flags
Don’t they just naturally repeat sounds they hear in their environment?
However, even the existence of such an agreement could deter people from seeking needed medical care
I’m sure that’s an intended part of it.
This is just being a freelancer, with extra lying.
Honestly being a child is awful in many ways, wouldn’t want to go back
It can get kind of old seeing stuff on social media that’s just using every easy trick available to fish for engagement though, especially when now a lot of it is probably bots and various propaganda campaigns. Especially if it’s being posted somewhere that people can otherwise have more thoughtful and interesting conversations.
Pointing a gun at someone is dangerous. Pointing a moving car at someone is dangerous. We are gentler on car accidents because almost everyone relies on them and they are so normalized.
Is that a wrong approach though? I don’t have to point a gun at anyone to visit family, but practically I do have to get behind the wheel of a car. That can be fixed by being rich, but not everyone can be rich. The reason people drive despite the inherent risk to themselves and others is more about infrastructure than poor personal choices. I think it might be better to focus on solving the infrastructure problem than being more willing to put people in prison for driving mistakes, because the latter isn’t going to deter people from driving when most of us basically have to in order to live a normal life.
Like you said, it’s societal negligence. With guns, owning one is truly optional for almost everyone, and I think it’s reasonable to impose a much higher standard of personal responsibility on their use than with basically anything else. If you have a gun you better be capable of always using it correctly under pressure or else you should not have chosen to have one and criminal liability makes perfect sense.
What tech do you think is going to be introduced?
Designer pandemics
I think what’s really needed is more development in the anonymous web. Unfortunately hosting a blog exclusively on Tor or I2P isn’t a very accessible option at the moment. Probably fair to expect that the need for this will become more broadly relevant going forward.
In theory, yes, but you’d have to get a jury in one of these conservative states to agree that it qualifies as obscenity.
It honestly sounds like the person tweeting doesn’t even know how the database got deleted. Maybe it was commands they entered themselves without knowing what they do. Then got the AI to admit responsibility and be apologetic.
