Yes, but half the people have below-average intelligence.
We won't have a stable society if they're constantly scammed.
And I know some High-IQ people with no street smarts who got scammed by "Raj from Microsoft Support".
Really some dude from a trailer park might have a better BS detector, having lived a less coddled existence.
Credulous boomers that think it's 1950 and the people inside their teeve^H^H^H^H^Hcomputer are benign white folk like them.

AI people: "oh, that's where all the good stuff is!"
With pockets made for smartphones, like a nice denim button up shirt like Wrangler makes only with the pockets two inches deeper than they ate now, and khaki and denim trowsers with deeper pockets too, a little research can find the best location where the phone is protected from damage by normal activity
Alternatively, you could buy a smaller phone. They still make those.
Yeah, but you see, from marketing perspective what sounds better? The Line or the Dot or the Pimple?
They had these 3 choices, they made the more sensible one even though it has nothing to do with a good or sensible city outline.
We live in a society where like it or not? We marginalize crimes that involve theft of property or money, vs violent crimes against people.
Hacking almost never escalates to the level of it badly injuring or killing other humans. (You *might* argue it did if you could prove people hacking firmware or software running life support machines in hospitals was involved, or direct attacks on a person's pacemaker? But even outliers like this would be more the realm of the CIA than individual hackers.)
But even IF you imposed severe punishments for hacking? The problem is with catching these people. Sure, they tend to get caught eventually, because most criminals don't know when to stop. But you rarely recoup all the money they took from people or organizations. They probably couldn't ever get it all repaid even if you somehow forced them to work for the rest of their life for employers who turned over 100% of their paychecks towards restitution.
it might be better to pay people based on the value they create in the world instead of whatever the market decides
- market is a collection of all people involved, who is better suited to decide on what the value is other than all of the people as a collective vote?
doctor who proscribes pumpkin seeds to cure cancer actually create negative value, yet they get paid quite a lot sometimes, so therefor the market is an ineffeciant way of deciding how much to pay people.
- they are removing the money from the gullible, which may be argued is a better way to redistribute the money (all done willingly even though misguidedly).
people who make a ton of money by owning things but do no work at all, such as heirs to large fortunes
- the market has already decided that the parents of heirs were productive enough, that even their heirs can now enjoy the fruits of the labor of the people who made the money.
Most americans at this point will piss themselves and run away from dangerous thoughts like these.
- dangerous by what measure?
> Bruh. Apt already relies on Perl, which has no formal language specification. What nonsense is this?
You are right, which is why I don't think this is a huge deal.
Though perl5 compatibility back to c.2000 is pretty good.
Today's rust code most likely won't run in 2050 on modern compilers.
But perl4 code doesn't run well today either.
Yet nothing in trixie needs to run anything from buzz - so as long as everything works within a version or two it's hard to imagine anybody being negatively affected.
I have a UPS package shipped Overnight/Saturday Delivery on Friday and it now appears to be on a truck near Chicago. It was originally scheduled to transit from South Dakota to New England.
New delivery date is Tuesday. I hope the sender gets his money back!
(I didn't need it that quickly but the sender was making good on a delivery date guarantee, at a loss of his profits).
I have a floppy controller on order that doesn't know how to read disks; it just passes through magnetic field data to software which is supposed to be able to reconstruct the disk image.
Hopefully these tapes will be OK to read as long as somebody can build a magnetic read head of the correct type.
Maybe with ML there will be a reasonable chance of reconstructing faded regions. Old audio tape is still mostly fine, so fingers crossed.
BTW, what a great job these folks have!

Interesting. I think you've changed my mind about this.
Economic incentives are probably the way to go.

It's an exoteric story. Really they want funding to build rockets and this is a technology demonstrator.
But there is a theory that the asteroid belt is the former crust of Mars. More data on that would be interesting.
It's of course "widely discredited" but not with a scientific method or anything. Comparing isotope ratios would be fun someday.
If you REALLY want to you can set this in pavucontrol in about twenty seconds. Should last until the browser restarts.
Might even work with pipewire if the planets are aligned.
Also (outside of California) wrongful imprisonment is a legal justification for the use of deadly force.
But California is intentionally destroying their former high-trust society as a pretext for totalitarianism, so
Not too long ago U-Haul was offering free one-way hauls TO California because the escape rate was so lopsided.
