Chat GPT would be happy to explain "Rate-limited anonymous credentials" to you. Just because you can't think of something doesn't mean brilliant mathematicians can't.

Not OP, but how about not being allowed to lose more than 1% of your net worth (or salary?) gambling in a year? (The gambling platforms would be required to monitor your losses)

I'd pass a law that you can only lose in a year .1% of your current retirement savings (at which point you're cut off from gambling for the year). It may sound crazy to spend even a 10th of …

Cryptographically there are techniques that let you prove you're one of the several hundred million adults in the US that don't reveal anything about which adult you are. It's much less…

For me the last remaining killer feature of ChatGPT is the quality of the voice chat. Do any of the competitors have something like that?

Well you need to actually think about what you're saying here. Suppose for example China/Israel/whoever is the first to invent really, really great drones (like the size of a bird or ev…

So let me just understand your position here. Suppose the US declares war on Venezuela. Suppose a venezuelan living in America just looks up a bunch of US generals addresses online, and then sets all …

So you're arguing if the US declared war on Venezuela, that Venezuela could just use a drone to blow up the US president and that's just how war should work from now on? Because it's on…

Two things Firstly, generals, like anybody else can be terrorized. Secondly, even if you only kill generals, that doesn't mean you didn't cause terror for everybody else. Imagine for example…

I don't know if it's "legal" or not and by who's laws, but it certainly seems like terrorism to me (i.e. intentionally creating a state of terror). I think if Lebanon found a …

Ironic that your comment downvoted... gosh darn emotional humans

I mean I love the concept. However something makes me suspect none of these will be the completely-walkable, full of art, no-pollution, no plastic, utopia city I'm thinking of. But no harm in the…

Well we have no idea what the effects of glyphosate are because almost everybody has it in their system. Is it possible that's why autism, depression, add are so much higher among us than amish? …

On what basis should we blindly trust this fao.org study as conclusive? If Monsanto ghost-wrote one paper, how many other studies did it put its finger on the scale for?

Tl; dr: One of the cornerstone studies claiming glyphosate was safe is now suspected to have been written entirely ghost-written by Monsanto. A recent analysis (2025) shows that this paper has been ci…

Well either you didn't read what you cited, in which case you sort of owe us an apology and need to back off your claim. Or you did read it in which case you'd realize it has nothing to do w…

That's a powerpoint of somebody really trying to push an agenda and has nothing to do with age verification. The 88% support is for "social media platforms to protect minors from online harm…

Just because something isn't ideal doesn't mean it's worth making a law about. Running with scissors -- not best practice. Worth trying to legislate? Absolutely not. Somebody who's…

What do you mean it's not unpopular? How many voters have ever expressed interest in this? If the politicians keep voting for things their constituents don't (and in these cases actively pus…

How about stacked the supreme court with sycophants (at least one of which has been caught taking bribes) whereby allowing his gross violations of the law to be tolerated on appeal to the supreme cou…

I used to think like that. Now in my country we have a president who would use that to deport or target political opponents, track people who criticize Israel, etc. You can never put the genie back in…

Yeah. I was pretty neutral on ruby, until somewhere I worked some coworker put an @ on a variable relating to sessions and suddenly people started seeing each other's accounts. Now some people wo…

Well there's a comment here saying "I won't consider it 'true' AI until it solves all millenium problems"... That goalpost seems to be defining AI as not only human level…

Well props to them for continuing to improve, winning on cost-effectiveness, and continuing to publicly share their improvements. Hard not to root for them as a force to prevent an AI corporate monopo…

Well in america we had some "disruptive protests" (e.g. rodney king race riots) which were fundamental drivers of fixing systemic injustices in racial equality. In fact, perhaps most progres…

My immediate manager for my US remote SRE team was based out of Poland. He was a good manager.

Yeah... I think part of it is definitely that the profit margin is so high that there's a huge financial incentive to try to make buzz around it before all the patents expire. I guess we'll …

Chemical companies also are on this list (PFAs). https://www.ucsf.edu/news/2023/05/425451/makers-pfas-forever... …

Not everybody is going to agree, heck even Nixon had like 24% support or so when was proven guilty of orchestration watergate and taping the whole thing. The benchmark isn't every human agreeing,…
