If you have an important project and it is dependent upon a remotely-published package, it's not an important enough project to you.
There is a certain appeal to letting someone else maintain code and do bug fixes for you, but you have to give up that dream when the project becomes more than a casual "thing" you play with for fun.
The true GoPro market is not about showing what it is like to do something, its showing YOU doing something to others. That's why selfie-oriented mounting hardware is so popular.
Its hit rate is 80%... Can the AI determine which 80% were correctly classified, and which 20% weren't?
And then where do those classifications go into its database of "accurately classified articles"?
It seems the AI is limited by the opinions of the original researchers, because it cannot determine which of its own "opinions" were correct, and its basis for making decisions becomes further and further out of date with each day, OR becomes increasingly inaccurate if it adds its own classifications to its database.
Oh, there's a salt value, that is domain-specific. UID/PW is only part of a three-factor login. The third factor IS looked up, because it will return the salt to use for the other two. Any error in the three results in the same error message, "Unable to validate..."
If a spoken language "goes extinct", if there was no written language that accompanied it, the main "problem" would be, "how would I be fluent enough to communicate with these people when I use my time machine to visit them when they spoke language X?"
The written language, and the history written in it, that is a bit more of a problem for future of that culture. Assuming there are written histories, working with this "last native speaker" to build a base for translation would be a good idea.
When someone tries to log in to one of my systems, I cannot tell which value is incorrect. There is no "look up the user name, then compare the password given", it must be a matched set.
By the time the query to see if the user is valid is made, the user name and password have been hashed, and the query asks for a match to that hash. No match? One of them is wrong, figure it out.
I dropped my NF disk subscription because, while the catalog may have "almost every movie ever made", the actual availability for about 90% of it was nil. Too many titles had "very long wait".
Worse were TV series - what good is short waits on disks 2, 3, and 6 if 1, 4, and 5 were "missing but still in the catalog"?
... also not regulating what people SAY on that open internet. And yet, many of these same protesters would also rally to shut down internet access for [insert unpopular group here].
And we really have not had a "neutral" network since someone discovered their network was saturated by SOMEONE ELSE'S TRAFFIC, and figured out how to make sure theirs had priority.
... a basis for decreeing Net Neutrality in the first place?
Networks have prioritized certain types of high-value traffic ever since someone figured out that their network was saturated with someone else's data, and that you could program a way to control that.
NN isn't a "long standing expectation", but a relatively new idea. If the basis for fighting the "abruptly reverse longstanding rules on which many have relied without a good reason", the reasons behind the "longstanding rules" need to be proven to be "good" first, then we can argue about these two-year-old rules being "longstanding".

A company that worked for TRUMP, the EMBODIMENT OF GREAT EVIL OF THIS WORLD (worse than PUTIN!!!!), did data mining.
When companies that only work for pure, innocent DEMOCRATS do it, it's OK. At least with the management of Facebook.
The troubling part is trying to explain how they're fair and unbiased when publicly shown to be strongly biased.

Mariners and pilots have known for a long time what clouds mean - DANGER!
Where was this file found? In the "safety" of the cloud, along with hundreds of thousands of other sensitive files placed there for "safety".
True net neutrality means not being able to censor web content - it would be illegal to restrict the transmission of "bad/fake information".
And, attempting to stop a denial of service attack would require "non-neutral" traffic management.
They're not using AI to control drones, but to analyze all the imagery collected by them.
How is this different from, say, Facebook analyzing the photos you upload and picking out people that look like other people?
One of the big arguments against the use of a rail-gun like space catapult is that cargo and humans would not survive the acceleration needed. Raw materials, on the other hand, could.
Just how far can you chuck a pumpkin?
... that they are intolerant of any views other than their own.
Aliens have a right to not be monitored, too.

The summary doesn't make a clear distinction...

While the naive believe that unions are really out to protect the workers, rather than enrich the union bosses.
of how well "security by obscurity" works.
