To be honest, I don't think I could tell the difference between how they would act with ex-cia people in their ranks or without. I don't see how content policy, adhering to privacy regulations, etc... would be different when there

The problem isn't that it isn't fast, or cheap but that it's currently in a legal limbo. So if someone orders certain medications using that automated system, it'll get logged and probably be denied to reduce legal expos

I guess you can put some tape over the warning light :) In case they use a bit of force on the gas pedal, you can push slightly harder to override it. Depending how it's implemented and how good it works, I think the bit of push back o

Maybe also mention eligible maintainers can also get free titan security keys (with free shipping). This should reduce the burden even further. https://pypi.org/security-key-giveaway/

This really disturbs me. You have no problem when someone decides to kill someone and thinks the laws doesn't apply to them. To make matters worse, you think someone who tries to obey the laws makes a terrible decision by not killing

The crux of the dilemma is that there are two solutions. If there aren't two then it's a lemma and the trolley problem is solved. I didn't introduce the convoluted idea of there being train tracks and a switch. If it was pure

When you are certain your actions will result in the death of someone then I doubt the legal protections of helping someone is as clear cut as you think it is. Maybe I'm wrong, I don't know all laws of all countries. I'm hopi

Let's take a step back. I would never criticise someone for making the decision to pull the lever. I understand that decision, I really do. I only said I wouldn't do it and explained why. It's not as clear cut as you think it

No, it doesn't. How I look at it is those (legal) rules weren't made randomly. I don't think it's an option for me to overrule what millions of people have decided on over the course of a couple of centuries. Especially

If you factor in the legal implications, the trolley problem becomes trivial. Do nothing. I'm not qualified nor allowed to operate train infrastructure and the legal consequences will become worse if someone dies because of something

If you're talking about inflation, we had a multi-year pandemic in which the western governments gave aid to struggling businesses, inoculated their population for free, supply chains were severaly disrupted, etc... The war in Ukraine

Then I can't comment on this. I don't live in the US nor know what it is like. I was responding to this from an 'EU' perspective. For the tech companies who do bussiness globally, my objection still stands. In the countr

Which country are you talking about? The laws differ between what law enforcement can and can't do.

That's not the question. The question is whether they have enough data to provide to law enforcement if one their users underwent an abortion. If they aren't collecting enough data to determine this then they could just state: &qu

I think you're confused because you heard a lot of different goals of the sanctions. For me, the sanctions aren't about stopping the current war, but about stopping future wars. In your analogy... Rusty doesn't know how to ma

I hope nobody takes your idea seriously. Most people aren't super-spies who can go undercover and save society from a cult. Just go to law enforcement, report it and listen to what they have to say.

Yes, and this is why it is news. Someone returned them although the expectation was nobody would. Maybe I'm missing something from your comment...

I might be overly pedantic with this point but saying a shiny balloon fits the limited data we have, doesn't mean it was a shiny balloon. The thing that bothers me the most about this sort of discussions is that it's all done on

At first, I would've agreed with your position but I don't at this point. Russia said they wouldn't invade Ukraine because: -Russia is holding military exercises, you're being paranoid -Nobody invades a european country

I would also like to add to your point that there's a delusion that tech can moderate a couple billion people. In the past, we distributed the moderation but now it seems everything, including moderation, needs to be done by a single e

That's because people, including me when I started programming, confuse alpha with coverage. Most people use the alpha value for coverage. Most of the time it doesn't really matter visually but there some edge cases where it does
