Yes. If I put myself in the position where I am heavily dependent on what they do then I have only myself to blame. And if it is a minor dependency then I probably won't even care.…

I think people should be responsible for their actions. If they only use google without even trying anything else then they are themselves to blame for whatever bias/lies google ha…

Sorry, but I don't get why you must be entitled to having me serve you if I happen to have a server that serves other people. Just because I allow some people to visit my server do…

Good news. I hope it will be very expensive, so that only smart and hard working people can afford it for their children. Eventually we will need to leave lazy and stupid people be…

Humans are already a certain type of genetics. Your cat is not equal to you. Not in rights, and not even in dignity. This implies that your ability for intelligence and learning is…

Not on the same scale as USSR. The less you do it the farther you are away from making everyone poor. Europe still has a lot of capitalistic elements to counter the equality plague…

Making things available universally have already been tried in USSR. What it leads to is everyone being equally poor. And it also disincentive hard work, because most of the fruits…

I would be fine with UBI or any other form of welfare if I could personally opt out of it and not receive that welfare AND not pay any taxes for it.

Their model is overfitted. If you type "What the fuck did you" it will output Navy Seal copypasta with almost no changes. No wonder why it sometimes generates human-like texts, bec…

Andrew Ng did a good analogy: it is like worrying about overpopulation on Mars. It will happen sometimes in the future, but worrying about it now is very premature.

It seems this networks is completely clueless about culture. I have typed "Flat is justice." and it completed it with texts about justice in judicial system instead of lolis and an…

If you can view your old conversation from a fresh installation on a new devices then this automatically implies that some 3rd party has access to your keys. I.e. your conversion c…

At first I was excited about DOH, until I realized that you are simply switching data collection from ISP to whomever you choose as your trusted resolve in DOH (most likely Google …

In practice you can host your browser redistributable on non-US server that has no obligation to US laws. And if US user chooses to download from that location there is nothing the…

That is why you use monero if you don't want government to spy on your every purchase.

It already exist and called freenet. If you read the arrest cases for freenet - they are almost non-existent.

It reminds of how EU can order facebook to delete its posts for the entire world, because EU wants to control what other people outside of EU are allowed to see. https://www.euract…

Why would we care about the benefit of the average person? How is that even an argument? Like imagine forbidding to publish some books or music, because we somehow decided that the…

If you are that worried about children you should think about inventing new ways to monitor children, so that it becomes impossible to do something to a child without a lot of peop…

You do realize that FBI and similar state agencies shared CP online to catch people? So, did FBI victimize children and should face appropriate punishment (the same as other people…

Nothing. If your kid actively seeks out porn then chances are that he is already mature enough for it. Thus the problem does not exist. Edit: and the things you should watch out fo…

That could easily be leaked by a single person, like Edward Snowden. People are not the perfect way to store secrets.

That is very unreliable, because humans can easily invent memories of events that did not occur. And it may even fool any lie detecting technology, if they truly believe it themsel…

I think the whole concept that law should be enforced at all times is flawed. People should have more ways to resolve conflicts between themselves on their own, without cops gettin…
