Both of those things can be true. The Chinese probably want access to corporate secrets, but chipmakers are probably price fixing as well.

Computer networks treat censorship as damage and route around it.
There is no inherent property of a network that does this. Simply because two or more devices are connected does not mean that they can or will route around damage to that connectivity. At best, a network can be designed with redundancies, but that need not be the case, nor is redundancy always effective where it exists.
The laws are too vague to even get to that situation. "A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm." Even assuming that "harm" could be adequately defined, which it can't, that's still the halting problem, which is provably unsolvable. There's no way of knowing in advance whether the next calculation might reveal a harmful event, otherwise there would be no need for the calculation. Putting any sort of constraint on future predictions would open the door to unintended consequences, and putting no limit would result in an infinite runtime. There is no way to comply with that law, even absent any ethical dilemma.
"I've received two Amber Alerts today for Thunder Bay, which is 15 hours away from Toronto by car," tweeted Molly Sauter. "Congrats, you have trained me to ignore Emergency Alerts....
Molly makes an excellent point. It's well known that kidnappers are restricted to a 14.9-hour radius, and any alert should be strictly localized to users within that range. It makes NO SENSE to err on the side of covering an overly broad geographical area. If anything, only the 2 or 3 people nearest the event should even receive an alert. In fact, why even issue alerts? Just find the cell phone closest to the event and obviously that's your kidnapper. Case closed. You're welcome!
Let's not forget -- Molly has been subjected to 100% of alerts so far. Can she please get a break?? Molly has things to do besides being trained to ignore your alerts! So Congrats, Canada. You inconvenienced a perfectly innocent woman, taught her the exact opposite of what you wanted her to learn, and made her life a living hell. And you wonder why nobody wants to live in your oppressive country!
Actually there are lots of alternatives, but yes, let's start by taking the death penalty off the table. It's unproductive (it does not add value to society), ineffective (it does not prevent crime or ameliorate the effects of crimes that have been committed), and expensive to boot. And of course, innocent people can be, and have been, executed.
As you read this, you're breathing 78.09% nitrogen
Holy shit!! First I find out dihydrogen monoxide is in nearly everything I eat and drink, now you're telling me this "nitrogen" stuff is in all of the air I'm breathing?
The US *is* doing well, recent efforts to the contrary notwithstanding. Yet without also convincing the rest of the world to put pollution controls in place, we're still being affected. Air pollution doesn't just stop at border crossings. At current levels, this stuff is circulating the globe in harmful quantities.. There's virtually nowhere in the Continental US with an AQI below 20 most times of the year.
I am currently living in a country that is *not* doing well, where AQI reaches over 400 on a weekly basis, and rarely drops below 100, and it's discouraging to see a government so callous about the effects on its own people. The government would argue a) air pollution doesn't exist, but if it did, that it's people are too poor to impose regulations on them. This is complete nonsense, of course, and hospitals are full of people suffering from cardiopulmonary problems which, to me, says they cannot afford The absence of regulation.
We, globally, need to do a better job of creating a framework of incentives and penalties, because voluntary compliance is not a viable way forward. China *may* have turned a corner, but they're far from alone, and many Asian and African countries are only getting worse.
As I said, IBM and Motorola CPUs were sinking ships. Intel is not that.
Apple does not manufacture their own chips, or anything at all actually. So they are either paying Intel, or they are paying TSMC/Samsung for manufacturing + ARM licensing. I doubt the costs are substantially different. The gain would be in control. But for all the reasons I listed, that would be a high price to pay for control.
Moreover, end users would bear the brunt of those costs, and have little or nothing to show for it at the end of the day in terms of performance improvements. When Apple jumped CPU ships in the past, it benefitted end users. I am hard pressed to think of a single benefit of an architecture swap to end users at this point, but I am all ears if anyone has any ideas.
Not really. Ditching IBM/Motorola made sense because the PowerPC chip didn't hold a candle to x86 in either performance/$ or pure performance. The cost was a complete rewrite of all software, not to mention the OS, but it was worth it to make Macs competitive.
But ditching Intel at this point? That's like switching horses mid race when your horse is winning. Intel dominates the desktop/server/laptop CPU market by almost every measure, and for good reason. Even if Apple can wrench similar price/performance out of a desktop ARM processor, which is far from a foregone conclusion, the disadvantages are numerous:
Users lose Bootcamp, which affects something like 20% of users at last count
ARM has limited virtualization support - or usefulness for that matter
Apple loses the economies of scale that Intel enjoys, eating into cost savings
All existing MacOS apps and games, gone (without either substantial developer support for rebuilds or else subpar emulation, which is not a UX Apple is likely to support)
At the end of the day, it's really just trading one master (Intel) for another (ARM)
I agree though, that this is probably Apple trying to extract some sort of concession from Intel, be it pricing, input in, or influence on, the feature set or direction of development, or all of the above. The threat of a switch to ARM may seem more credible than the threat of a switch to AMD, perhaps, but either seems incredible to me.
Signal only uses servers for relaying encrypted messages, which are no more or less secure there than they are in-transit, where they could be captured just as easily, if not more so. Public keys are also stored on their servers, but you can (and should) always validate public keys face-to-face or through side channels, at least for communications you care about. You will also receive a warning if someone's public key changes.
Also, since it leverages the same encryption, WhatsApp is pretty secure for user-to-user chats (but less so for group chats), as long as you don't backup to iCloud, where it stores your history in unencrypted form.
Meh.. ostensibly they don't on classified networks, but the unclass network is pretty porous and network configuration varies widely. In any event, it must have leaked through somewhere in order to tip them off in the first place.

I think you've got it backwards, as far as voting. Turnout rates are pretty much directly proportional to age.
