This could actually be a good thing. The existence of security breach insurance would necessarily require quantifying how much risk a particular organization creates. The insurer is now a third party that has an incentive to make sure the company is following best practices and the ability to punish companies that don't (through denial of coverage or through increased premiums).
No, I completely get your point. You're completly missing my point: pointing out that Argument A for conclusion X is a bad argument does not mean I disagree with conclusion X. It doesn't matter how fantastic Liberal Arts degrees are, bringing up Peter Jackson as an argument as to why they are is a crappy argument.
Spottswoode: From what I.N.T.E.L.L.I.G.N.C.E has gathered, it would be 9/11 times 100. Gary Johnston: 9/11 times a hundred? Jesus, that's... Spottswoode: Yes, 91,100.
This is like advising him to stop taking classes and put all his money into lottery tickets because Gloria MacKenzie won $370 million in Powerball. The number of people who get to be Peter Jackson is such a vanishingly small slice of the human population that using his success as the basis for your career path is ridiculous.
Usual suspects are whining about how UNFAIR it is that all the low cost housing is being demolished and replaced with new housing the former residents can't possibly afford.
...to deal with all of the suddenly abandoned properties whose owners decide the cost of retrofitting the building costs more than the building is worth and just walk away from them?
Unless this hypothetical AI is singularly focused on some inscrutable but unobtrusive goal, or so vastly intelligent that various inconvenient physical laws are cleverly bent, I'm not sure why 'ignored' would even be on the table.
How much time do you spend thinking about the ants in your front yard?
In Amazon’s Killing My Sex Life, Romano famously said Amazon men offer “the kind of talk that shuts vaginas down cold.”
Can you imagine if a man wrote an op-ed about how work is killing his sex life because his female coworkers aren't successfully arousing him?
The writer also makes it clear she has nothing but contempt for the non-neurotypical she encounters. She could do with bit more empathy for those that struggle to master the complicated social rituals that come so easily to her.
First she complains that Amazon employee are too standoffish, passive, and boring. Then she complains that they're too entitled, confrontational, and intense. Which is it?
When a guy in an M1A1 "executes" a guy in a T-74, that's not's really "punishment" either.
So in your mind, the relationship between the Secret Service and the general public should be modeled on how the US military responds to an invading army?
You can't stop the abuses of authorized by the PATRIOT Act by extending the deadline for its expiration. That was the true purpose of this bill: a trojan horse to renew that abomination by burying it in a bunch of beuracracy that does nothing to reign in the government.
I went through a big "red/blue glasses" 3D phase when I was a kid. I'm now 37 and to this day I have a slightly different color balance between my two eyes: if I look with only my right eye everything is slightly reddish and is I look with only my left eye everything is slightly bluish (this is, IIRC, the opposite of the lens). It's only noticeable if I specifically pay attention to it, but it appears to be permanent.
Is the "receiver" subjectively aware that the decision to move their hand was imposed from outside, or did it seem like their own spontaneous decisions? (Obviously they're rationally aware it's imposed since they have a giant machine strapped to their head, but what does it "feel like" from inside their mind?)

If the only alternatives he can point to are the unicorns, he's not actually refuted the point.

Except you don't because they're still all over the place. You just murder them until you stop noticing them again.

You don't need to cook when everything is pickled.
I drink, therefore I am?

So you think summary execution is the appropriate punishment for simple trespass?
Yes the status quo is better because in the status quo the PATRIOT Act automatically expires earlier than it would have under the "FREEDOM" Act.

And industrial shredder can dismantle a product in a second or two.
It might be an improvement in some ways; the machine doesn't have an ego and thus doesn't do stupid things out of an irrational need for retaliation.

Sand is just ground up quartz. i.e. The second most common mineral in the earth's crust.
The article doesn't say though. Some neuroscientists argye that the initiation of action may preceed the initation of the perception of "willing it":

If that is the case, it could be there's a method of forcing movement that would be perceived as your own actions.
