  • Google CEO Sundar Pichai says graduates booing AI will shape its future — and live with its consequences

    Jump

  • "These graduates are actually both going to be a big part of driving that progress and also dealing with the impact," he added, referring to AI.

    Out of context it sounds like a threat, but in connect it just sounds like vacuous CEO-speak, designed to respond to the question with some words while not actually answering the question.

  • Women’s rights and Transgender rights are in conflict

    Some of us would strongly disagree with this fundamental premise of yours. You state it like it's a solid basis on which these matters should be debated, but it's actually a controversial point that could only emerge as the conclusion of an argument. It needs justification at least.

  • I hate how the privacy services shove in your face the "unprotected" word

    Jump

  • VPNs don't prevent a device from announcing its real location. And they protect you from a MITM at the ISP but not at the VPN provider, so you just switch who you trust. VPNs also don't do anything to help with the browser fingerprinting that companies use to track you around the web. From the point of view of the services and sites you connect to, all a VPN does is change your IP address, and the IP address may not be a big part of how they track you in the first place. VPNs alone do not improve privacy much at all.

    What VPNs do is shield your traffic metadata from inspection by the network hops between your client and the VPN provider (though the content is almost always enxrypted even without the VPN), and change your apparent location for any service that is exclusively using IP-based geolocation.

  • Five toys on sale in Britain found to contain asbestos in tests for Guardian

    Jump

  • Retailers have criticised the UK’s product safety policy, which relies on manufacturers and importers to ensure that products are safe. Post-Brexit health and safety laws have removed powers to ban products thought to pose a health hazard without waiting for scientific evidence. Instead, the onus is on exporters, importers and retailers to test goods and inform regulators if asbestos is found.

    Another Brexit benefit. Of course the people profiting from selling these things will do the responsible thing, spending money to test them for safety and choosing not to profit from them if they don't pass tests. That's how it always works.

  • “We Will Find You and We Will Kill You”

    Jump

  • We can use Trump's memorandum from December as a guide:

    The memorandum identifies “anti-Christian,” “anti-capitalism” or “anti-American” views as potential indicators that a group or person will commit domestic terrorism.

    The memorandum claims that political violence originates with “anti-fascist” groups that hold the following views: “support for the overthrow of the United States Government; extremism on migration, race, and gender; and hostility towards those who hold traditional American views on family, religion, and morality.”

    Source: Labeling dissent as terrorism: New US domestic terrorism priorities raise constitutional alarms

    So anyone who isn't a Christian, capitalist, fascist, racist, homophobe, transphobe, and misogynist will be classified as a potential terrorist and subject to anti-terrorist actions.
