"framing effect"

Normally, developers are focused on making the product do something, but security is the inverse: it's making sure the product cannot do some things.

  It's difficult enough to hire good developers who can make products that do stuff, but hiring ones can ensure it doesn't do anything bad requires that you find the people who really knows their shit and have the imagination to identify all the things a product shouldn't do.

Likewise, organizational leadership, project management, QA, etc, have got to be bought into it.

No. While Bush did a lot of shitty stuff (trillion dollars wars, warrantless wiretapping, etc) and subsequent administrations compounded the damage, Trump is nakedly corrupt, lawless, and authoritarian. This is historical turning point stuff.

There's a strong demand for short-form use content on mobile. Portrait orientation works better for that situation. Stop blaming users for having preferences that are entirely rational.

Executing people up for their impulses (instead of, you know, actual crimes) is not "justice".

Okay boys, you know what we have to do. Somebody hold him down while I reboot to the USB installer. Are we going Gnome or KDE this time?

Is this $100 million in the room with us right now?

> Bitcoinâ(TM)s supply is finite its issuance is algorithmic and transparent and no one can âoepull numbers out of thin airâ to inflate its price or supply. ...so long as the social structure and community norms that undergird it remain in place. The ETH split over DAO is instructive here.

For electronics specifically, you have lots of online options beyond NewEgg/Walmart including B&H Photo/Video, Adorama, Microcenter, and maybe Best Buy. Since electronics are generally expensive, it's a high impact way to steer money away from Amazon.

By signaling that everyday/mundane content might hurt you, you teach people (teens and young adults in particular) that they are inherently fragile.

The problem is that life is tough. Even in rich Western social democracies, you will encounter horrible days and incredible challenges. Instead of coddling people and encouraging them to runaway from discomfort, we should be challenging them to engage with progressively more difficult ideas and realities.

Trigger warnings generally do more harm than good:

How did you cram so much stupid into one post? Impressive!

Small indulgences can have a huge impact on how customers feel about a product. That counts for a lot in the competitive high-end auto market.

It's definitely that we wrestle with the pending consequences of AI (both personally and societally) now rather than burying our heads in the sand. However, nothing about the march of AI has a set itinerary... historically the field has cycled thru stagnation and sudden jumps forward. ChatGPT and Dall-E got people's attention and spurred a bunch of investment, but there's no way to know if the next jump forward is happening tomorrow or if we're in for twenty years of mild incremental improvements.

"who started it?" - kind of a bogus question given that one side can always point to some earlier incident committed by the other side (see cypress, Palestine, and Ireland for examples).

"Who wins it?" - I tend to agree with you about the right's geographic advantage, but there are many ways the conflict can unfold, and it doesn't necessarily take the form of a classical military engagement.

"Who wins it really?" - Russia and China. For the vast majority of Americans who just want to go about their lives this will have extremely negative impacts.
