Time to start learning Mandarin

The law has always been able to recognize a distinction between Hunter S. Thompson reading Ernest Hemingway and learning from his style and a billion GPUs reading a billion books to be able to produce it on demand. It takes time for the law to catch up to the technology but it will.

Is this open source? Is there a GitHub repo?

People don't want to give Amazon their biometrics?

It's not a hard problem to solve, you scale the punishment for the cases you prosecute so high that it makes the expected value of stealing a suitcase negative

You jail 100 and the thousands stop doing it.

Very cool! What's your license on this stuff?

What does it mean to steal crypto if "code is law"?

I can't imagine that contrails are a significant percentage of cloud cover.

One thing that's interesting about these regional laws is that they all necessarily use geolocation, but the regional laws are jurisdiction-based. Geolocation is inaccurate in many circumstances and also just insufficient in some circumstances (VPN, near a state border, proxied requests, embedded content, etc.)

Does this use Apple's face-recognition tech to automatically populate pictures of your spouse, or do you have to add them manually? I was under the impression that third-party apps couldn't access the People albums in PhotoKit.

There was a very simple reason for them: to hire more non-Asian minority faculty. Just as with SAT scores, if you evaluate candidates numerically, Asian faculty will take ~50% of the spots and Black faculty will take ~1% of the spots.

When you have $15/hr employees who can enable a $100,000 scam this is bound to happen.

In banning the death penalty for rape, the US Supreme Court explicitly... in black letter text... left open the possibility of executing major drug traffickers. We should use that door more often.

Naw, the death penalty is much harsher penalty (seeing as how almost all death row inmates use every means possible to avoid it). Particularly so for white collar people who never thought they would be tied to a tree and shot 10 times in the heart. Just the thought of that happening can deter a lot of people, and even if it doesn't, it's what she deserves.
