I don't see what Chinese notions of culture and duty have to do with this story, theft of trade secrets is a universal phenomenon.

Yes, this is what happens in the vast majority of cases.

it is just more proof that using "AI" makes people stupid.

I'd like to hear what specific things in Doctorow's proposals constitute intellectual property theft. He's not talking about copying anything, he is talking about reverse engineering and creating alternative interoperable products.

Attached to: New Jersey Law Requires E-Bike Drivers To Have License, Insurance
I know a lot of mountain bikers upset about this, I'm not sure that is warranted. First, I understand the insurance requirement only applies to type 1 vehicles with a throttle, meaning you don't have to pedal them to move, and it only applies to vehicles operated 'on the highways of this State' so off road trails would be out of scope. But I am not a lawyer.

This is the same phenomenon that made guidance on spotting fake IDs into a manual on making fake IDs, books about burglar-proofing your house into burglary tutorials, and so on.

America already has a full plate of sexier and higher trending disasters we are slow walking into, this clam bake can go straight to the end of the line.

Attached to: Pentagon Purchases a Device Allegedly Linked To Havana Syndrome
Probably just another scam, someone cobbled together a do-nothing but looks plausible device and sold it to the Pentagon.

This is nitpicking, but the sentence does not claim that it was 'determined' as you stated. It doesn't posit a connection, just states two properties 1. the device was tested and 2. it may be linked to Havana syndrome.

Attached to: Congressman Introduces Legislation To Criminalize Insider Trading On Prediction Markets
I am dubious the cost of regulating and prosecuting activity of this nature is worth the cost. Once it is well known that insiders game the system, why not just let buyers beware? Or how about a compromise, add a required disclaimer that the betting platform could be manipulated by bettors with non-public information.

Some might argue that a list of 8 like this is too long for a summary. Surely if it were a list of 100 extensions you would agree that the list does not belong in the summary. One can always RTFA

This would be an unfair practice. There are markets such as HKG that have a small transaction fee that does what I think you are after with this idea.

Because the cost of the OS is a small fraction of the total costs involved.

Moving off the algorithm seems pretty easy, just do what they are doing now. They could have done this type of migration at any time.
