I would disagree with “non-example 2” - there are lots of examples of terrorist organizations that are leveraging AI to increase their capacities. Just because one of the worst cases (eg. deployed biological or chemical weapons) hasn’t happ

Wouldn’t a zero data retention agreement be pretty close to this?

That is not true. State laws cannot interfere with the work of federal law enforcement, but can require certain behaviours. Eg. States set speed limits. A federal LEO can break these when required for their duties (eg. chasing a suspect), b

Likely they will be heat welded to a polyethylene. You can sew this for extra strength. Which I think means a fully recyclable jacket!

Could you elaborate or link something here? I think about this pretty frequently, so would love to read something!

What’s the better app? Would love one that’s actually teaching the rules, not just learning through pattern recognition

lru_cache has the benefit of being explicit about the replacement policy. So I find it more appropriate in cases where I want a size limit in the cache which, for me, is almost always. I’m not sure use cases you see caches in, but any long

This statement seems pretty poorly thought out. I think the argument that's being made is actually that there should be comprehensive privacy legislation, not that the TSA's use of facial recognition is bad/dangerous. I see t

I haven’t read the underlying paper, but from the article it seems the paper looks at if a person gets healthier when they get married. This seems flawed because you get older as you get married, which is generally something that makes you

> Is it black market when I pay the neighbor kid to mow my lawn and don't report their address? Nonsense. No, but it is illegal for financial institutions (and many industries) to provide services without knowing who they are servin

This article [1] seems to state pretty clearly that the law applies to all job posting by a company in Washington state. Any sources saying it's only about jobs open to Washington residents? [1] https://www.dwt.com/blog

What is going on with the denial of responsibility? Do you really get to say "oops, don't sue me" in advance?

It's a little more complicated. Project Haystack is big. Like the main way building IoT data is tagged around the English speaking world. And it's a semantic vocabulary & ontology, so there's a lot of overlapping search r

And what exactly is the difference? The framing? None of the facts in the two articles seem to contradict each other.
