Even if the customer authorized the transaction? So now all the customers have to pay higher fees to cover for idiots getting scammed. Is the Bank of England going to start refundi…

But in practice it's not like that. Roofing scams recently destabilized the entire homeowners insurance market in Florida https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/roofing-scams-florida…

The left has done more damage you our education system by removing standards and getting rid of separate schools for the smartest students than the right ever could by cutting fund…

Stealing a car deprives the previous owner of the car of possession and use. It is a criminal charge and you will be punished for it regardless of the monetary value of the car. Th…

But if you did pirate the book, and let's say it cost $50, and then you used it to write a play based on that book and made $1 million selling that, only the $50 loss to the publis…

But there is the issue of whether there are damages. If my LLM can reproduce 10 random paragraphs of a Harry Potter book, it's obvious that nobody would have otherwise purchased th…

It's not just hard to measure, it's unfalsifiable nonsense.

Why do profits, and the stock market, continue going up then? I've heard this nonsense about corporate short termism for decades, and the long term just never seems to arrive.

When the only purpose of stepping into that gap is to get to weapons grade, it doesn't really work as a gray area.

They're not going to escalate. They're already getting their ass handed to them by Israel and the last thing they want is to throw down with their other enemies in the region right…

It's pretty pathetic to include a scolding essay at the beginning of the book. Their sanctimonious drivel stands in total contrast to the work of a brilliant author that they feel …

Seems insane that leadership would give managers the ability to deanonymize answers, then.

> “Anonymous Surveys” are a trap This is both something I know is true, and also something I struggle to understand. I can't get my head around why company leadership would ever co…
