"Hey, TruthGPT, is the cat in the box alive or dead?" 'Dead!' "How can you be certain?" 'I cut off the air supply for ten minutes.' "Beautiful use of Socratic method! I can't wait for you to control traffic lights!"

WebAssembly is practically in its infancy. On top of that, it is a solution looking for a problem. It's still a powerful solution though! Give it another 5 years and I bet we'll see some truly innovative, high-quality products being produced with WebAssembly. Just don't expect wide-spread adoption across most websites - most businesses are still happy to do customized WordPress. After all, it's easy on the budget and the client feels more comfortable retaining ownership

Mod up. Technology without an application is a solution looking for a problem. Assuming the performance claimed is legitimate and this technology can in fact assist in developing stable fusion technology, then China may achieve what it's posturing itself as - the dominant global power of the 21st century

You are absolutely correct. This is the reasoning at the core of Section 230. Social media giants argue that they can't control all that content, and it would be damaging to free speech for them to try.

However, it has merit to consider whether the Communications Decency Act is outdated. It was written in 1996, well before Facebook blew up. When Facebook first started, the newsfeed was a chronological timeline. Today, the newsfeed is created by a composite of algorithms that can be gamed by users or modified by the social media for its own purposes. There seems to be a bit of a gray area here - Facebook can claim that they are not editorializing because they didn't actually express an opinion. All they did is write the algorithm that guarantees that you see the opinions that they want you to see.

I call political grandstanding on this one. At best, it's an attempt to force auto-makers to include new driver assistance technology in all new models under the guise of driver safety. At worst, it's looking to push bills that are either ineffectual but look good on paper or are effectual but possibly unconstitutional. Either way, all the politicians at least look like they've made a stand to prevent impaired driving. You are against impaired driving, aren't you? Won't someone think of the children????

I agree wholeheartedly. The realities of the challenges to this approach probably influenced the decision, however.

Cloud storage is considered a service more than it is considered a product. The DoD could define the contract as the purchase of a product, but then they'd be forced to do their own continued maintenance. DoD requirements for working on these kind of products is high - the DoD struggles terribly hard to find IT professionals that want to subjugate themselves to the terms of obtaining and maintaining a security clearance. Maybe they have a prior criminal record, or bad credit. Even if they have an impeccable record, it takes about six months for a security clearance to be filed. It can takes years for a security clearance to be approved if an applicant has any funny business whatsoever on their record.

DoD jobs tend to pay worse than the private sector in concerns to IT. Still other IT professionals ethically don't want to work to the DoD. DoD jobs tend to beget more DoD job offers, which seem to be out of sync with the rest of the industry in many regards. The DoD prefers using older tech stacks that are well-tested but don't keep up with the cutting edge, where the DoD wants to be now. All these factors combined can lead an IT professional stuck on an unappealing career path. it's easier for the DoD to outsource portions of the tech stack, like cloud-based services, to other companies and create new lower levels of security clearance for the outsourced company to apply to its employees.

This is also true in South Carolina. While required to fill out job applications, South Carolina lets you set your salary expectations and adds the amendment that a job offer can be declined on the basis that the company could not meet the salary expectation. The salary expectation needs to be within a range based off of previous salary. This helps ensure that the middle class doesn't start shrinking.

Two wrongs doesn't make it right. I'm glad you're interested in this issue, however. Please contact your representatives and let them know you support removing the Exception Clause from the 13th Amendment

Except this has been studied by multiple institutes over the course of decades. There will be statistical outliers, but it's far from absurd.

When a cyber-attack is implemented, it can be near impossible to determine the origin of the attack beyond another sovereign nation's borders without cooperation from the foreign nation. Of course the foreign nation is going to claim that the act wasn't perpetrated by a state-level actor. Then the foreign nation is going to pull some what-aboutism before an agreement can be reached in prosecuting rogue actors. In certain situation, like the Oldsmar water hack, if the attack is successful then the attacked nation simply isn't going to care if it was a rogue actor or state-level actor - a disproportionate attack is almost guaranteed. Imagine how many people could have died if there had not been critical fail-safes in place!

Biden is simply advising Putin what will constitute an act of war going forward. This will make it much easier to get Congress to sign off on an act of war quickly and efficiently in cases like the Oldsmar water hack. It also makes it easier for the two nations to collaborate in prosecuting rogue actors.

Both nations has engaged in extensive cyber-warfare without rules of engagement. Both have declined to prosecute rogue actors due to lack of international cooperation. I would expect that to change in the near future after these talks. Both sides will probably have to cooperate in exposing rogue actors as a means of de-escalating these attacks that are clearly impacting both nations. Clearly defining the act of retaliation makes it clear where cooperation is absolutely necessary. It's not a cold war if things get too hot.

Most wedding photographers will retain the rights to the artwork and only sell the photos afterwards, charging first for their time (labor) to take the photos, then letting the client decide which photos they want to keep, and possibly offering to do post-production on the photos. This is especially true for wedding photos, where people will elect to have lazy eyes fixed and teeth whitened in post-production. However, like most freelance services, the cost is usually highly negotiable, usually broken into tiered packages. This is important, since people's budget and the value of the freelance service can be highly relative based on the client.

The summary makes it sound like biometric data will be the sole means of authentication in this system. I am not well-versed on biometric authentication. Is biometric data really so secure that we can shy away from multi-factor authentication systems? My understanding was that Multi-Factor Authentication will always be inherently more secure than any singular authentication system. Is this feature really a game-changer, or is this piece PR fluff?

It's a perfect starter job for teenagers! We all know how great teenagers are at driving! Even better, an executive is going to realize there's cost savings in outsourcing the human operators to a shop in New Delhi! Everybody knows the drivers in New Delhi are amazing! Looks how organized and de-congested their streets are! Better yet, market the job as a racing game, throw some child labor into the mix. Eat your heart out, Tom Sawyer.

It's hard to say how many people are employed through my economic activity. I pay for dozens of services every month. Then the government taxes my economic activities which pays for even more jobs. This ultimately pays for infrastructure that employers like Amazon produces more wear and tear on than I do. This inequality in taxation will only be exacerbated further when Amazon switches to an electric fleet, as highway repairs are mostly paid for through taxes on fuel in my state. Same wear and tear, less tax money.

Here's the definition of poverty that the author uses here . It's really not an uncommon definition at all. The resources required to step out of poverty are pretty concrete, too. There are major initiatives being funded to address the scarcity of clean water around the world. This isn't magic, it's science.
