Let's do a little experiment:
>"As we've seen around the world in recent years, social media can be a major forum for terrorist sentiment and activity. This will be a vital tool to screen out terrorists, public safety threats, and other dangerous individuals from gaining immigration benefits and setting foot on US soil."
Now, we do some very simple replacement:
>"As we've seen around the world in recent years, social media can be a major forum for communist sentiment and activity. This will be a vital tool to screen out communists, public safety threats, and other dangerous individuals from gaining immigration benefits and setting foot on US soil."
If it's good enough for McCarthy, it's good enough for me.
I am not from India, but you do understand that the party that has majority control over India, the BJP, is a blatantly Hindu Nationalist party? I would argue this makes them even more entrenched in nationalist politics than here in the US. Look at the hundreds of killings and mutilations over cows that the government of India seriously turns a blind eye to.
>Mr. Dawson unspooled a series of far-fetched hypotheses. Among them: that iPhones secretly record their owners’ every utterance
Yeah, but that's true.
>Here in Montreal you can get a ticket for leaving your car door unlocked.
Here in the US you get robbed when you leave your car door unlocked. Kind of a punitive measure in its own way.
Surveys are also a voluntary release of private information? What's your angle, NYT? HMMMMM.
I have to wonder if the US government is starting to look at China's technocracy as an example.
Good point, but it's still pretty stupid/hilarious.
Aw, it was the 18th century: they lost kids all the time.
The point of "I, Robot" was to show how these laws can lead to dangerous results if followed to the letter, and their inherent contradictions. I agree with the author: applying the Three Laws to actual AI research and engineering is dangerous. Thankfully, I haven't seen too many people in AI research that actually advocate for their use.
I have never done anything in Rust. Are there any benefits? Any drawbacks?
How? It's still censorship.
It's good to see the UK finally turning into the authoritarian dictatorship Orwell knew it could be. Good for them!

Oh no.

Power corrupts, man. Simply hiding behind a monopoly doesn't really absolve a company of wrongdoing simply because a monopoly isn't wrong. Also, in your example, Coke definitely has a monopoly on the cola market, even if it doesn't on the entire soda market. That's like saying a smaller cola company stands a chance on the global market because the smaller competitor is selling soda.
The comments on this article are nuts.
This has to be satire. Most of these are terrible and I'm pretty sure the fibonacci indentation originated on /g/.
