Does it ever happen? Until threshold of probability of guilt is sufficient against any one single party, that party cannot be "punished". "Acting in concert" needs much better evidence than just linking to each other.
Extended to criminal law, it means any unsolved murder mystery is solved - just say that someone in the city committed the murder, let them fight amongst themselves about who hangs. All residents of the city are acting in concert because they sell goods and services to each other.
Probably you meant this only for civil law, but even there it appears unprecedented to me.
Google does have a practical lock-in, though theoretically there is no lock in and boobla can swoop down and eat Google's lunch.
So many people searching Google gives it the input it needs to improve itself. Even Microsoft has complained about this. So - many more people search Google, so Google can improve itself better than boobla, so that its search results are better, so many more people search Google.
I run plenty of alpha, beta and otherwise buggy Linux systems. But because I use snapshots in file systems, recovery from bad updates is trivial. Microsoft is stuck in the 20th century.
Hitler deployed 200 out of his 300 armies for operation yellow - the campaign against USSR. 40 were helping Mussolini, 60 were left for the western operation of US, UK, Australia, Canada and others. Yet USSR reached Berlin before the western forces. Enough said.
The *purpose* of greenpeace was to etch their own message alongside the ancient lines. So it's like you took a brush to an art exhibition, and touched the painting with one dipped in nice oil colors.
Greenpeace was trying to do what is illegal to attempt to do, there is no remedy possible if they fail.
BP was doing something which was legal to attempt to do, partial controversial remedies are available if they fail. BP failed, and were less than willing to remedy.
Clearly, one is much more malicious than the other at the very outset.
Public schools, found abundantly in nature, hanging on to trees, swimming with octopuses in the oceans, are greatly afflicted by an non- natural bane called vaccination.
Religion can induce people to believe anything - including the horrors of vaccine. Notably, definitions 6 and 8 here explicitly allow for this, many other definitions and interpretations do so to some extent too.
I tend to agree, but a question nibbles me. When, if, it all becomes paywall, the tracking will be far more complete? It is possible that each website will manage its own paywall mechanism / data, but isn't it far more likely that it will be outsourced to 2 or 3 companies which will handle paywalls for 97â of websites?
Firefox to the rescue. It has become an awesome Android browser in other ways too, and comes with the repository with ad blocking extensions, privacy enhancing extensions, and send to be reasonably secure.
The addon user did not give explicit permission to the advertising companies to do business with the website through himself. Websites generally don't even have EULA. If they then are prevented from doing this questionable business through non-consenting parties, that should be fine.
You didn't read my post, did you? I am saying that the more precisely we measure intelligence, and the more types of intelligence we measure, the more certain it becomes that we find differences. Differences could be in at least one measure of central tendency, OR at least one measure of variation; of at least one type of intelligence.
Why is it acceptable to set out to "prove difference" between rice of Asia vs Africa?
1. Somewhere like Pizza Hut isn't going to offer anything very exotic as a topping choice, 2. so 3. it's hardly surprising that most pizzas are perfectly acceptable.
Doesn't follow. While both parts 1 and 3 of you sentences are correct, the "so" doesn't fit at all. Are you saying the vast majority of non-exotic pizzas in the world are acceptable? Or non-exotic-ness causes acceptability? Both are pretty difficult positions to argue for.
Unless you're a vegetarian, or allergic to tomatoes and cheese or something, any pizza they serve is going to taste pretty similar.
Ok, so assume no special needs like allergy or restricted diet. Still, all non-exotic pizzas don't taste similar - cheese and tomato both are non-exotic yet taste wildly different from each other.
Only low quantity of toppings and leeching flavour and taste from toppings can cause pizzas with different toppings to taste similar. Non-exotic-ness is a factor with pizza hut but it doesn't fit with your post at all.
Success rate may not really mean much. It could also mean :
1. Toppings are in such small quantity, that too with flavour leeched out of them, that non-topping-ingredients might decide the majority of taste / satisfaction.
2. 98% say they liked their pizza after ordering this way - but maybe they would have liked any pizza? There needs to be a control group which is served the pizza that the algorithm finds least "good" for them. The very fact that they chose to order this way might mean they are not particular about which pizza they want.
At least, there needs to be a control group with random pizza ordered for them. Press release, being a press release, is short on details.
And more importantly, if there turns out to be a difference between some intelligence measures in the millionth decimal point, of which you don't deny the possibility, it does indeed "prove" the difference in intelligence. Even though there is another measure of intelligence in which the other race turns out to be more intelligent.
The culture problem is a very small symptom of the larger problem - we have not enough clue what intelligence really means, to really measure it.
The context in which I was replying was already of the future, I took it categorically to the future by talking about a time when we really do understand intelligence. This was expected to forestall comparisons with intelligence studies done to date. Which have been little more than jokes.

They will. Like they told that to Lavabit and SilentCircle.
While that is true, the implication that the automation creates and maintains itself is very false.

They have sequestered carbon in their bodies. Nothing wrong in that.

The infamous "nature" fallacy.

explicitly allow for this, many other definitions and interpretations do so to some extent too.
They can be idiots where they don't endanger my children. Some hardship in return for endangering my children is pretty reasonable.
Installed since Alpha, using full time since Beta. No major issues - just lxdm user switch doesn't work. Hope it is fixed in final release.
Switched to lightdm, so not checked lxdm issue yet.

Wake up. The "Web" did become unusable long ago. Without adblock, anyway.
Only ever seeing malicious ads is not the issue - ever seeing malicious ads is the issue. FYI, one malware is one malware too many.

How is "foreseeable" (by you) future relevant? The topic is future, not your prejudices.

Thanks. One of the Debian meetings for which I read the minutes mentioned they will not support a shim - I'll evaluate what kind of shim this one is.
