People who are publishing these videos are at the same time publicly say that these are works of fiction and fake. Not sometime later; right at the same time. They publish it in the reddit that has "fake" in the name. They often put "fake" in the title. They sometimes watermark it with a word "fake".

How can this be defamation or libel?

This is definitely what religion was and is widely used for, but I am very sure, that the Pharaoh's for example really believed, that they were incarnations of a god.

I mean, imagine you are being raised up this way, everyone bows his head to you as long as you can remember and they do believe that you are a god in human form ... how can you not believe likewise?

Besides, I met quite a lot people by now who were not raised like this, but developed such an ego that they consider themselve to be enlightened and allmost godlike ...

Also, building a big monument for your glory, is a very practical goal, even if you do get doubts, about there usefulness in afterlife, but when everyone of your underlings measures your greatness in the size of your grave, than you also really have not much choice ...

I wouldn't argue that tax breaks should be "illegal", but rather be proportional to the marginal utility that the company brings to the city (job market, investment, spending, etc) and inversely proportional to the marginal cost that the company brings to the city (infrastructure spending, housing, over-burdening of existing city resources).

I'm thinking of this in context of handmade drawings. It would be (as far as I know) generally permissible for me to make a lewd, sexualized, perverted drawing with your face, as accurate as I'm able to draw, and look at it with whatever thoughts I might have. However, publicizing this image has quite different norms. Those may be different for different people (for example, distributing caricatures of public figures such as politicians, presidents and other figures of power, e.g. Pope, Mohammad, etc should be allowed even if normal people are not), but they certainly would be much more restrictive than the actual making of such depictions.

Stack Exchange 2017 in Review
Back in the seventies, physics was called natural philosophy. In college, it amazed me how many people study sciences without even asking or caring why. They don't know the limits of the knowledge they seek or of the tools (repeatable observations) in their belt because they never learned how to ask uncomfortable questions or learn formal logic. Most certainly some of this is by design as colleges evolved into little businesses obsessed with crafting financially successful students before well rounded ones. On the other hand, some is probably just a reflection of the rationalist zeitgeist—philosophy became supernatural. To me, it's sadly dogmatic. You stop asking existential questions when your peers stop challenging your belief system.
There is something called conditional release, where you get to leave prison early. Maybe he benefited from that. Basically, now that all prisons exceeded maximum capacity, if you commit a crime that requires up to 5 years of punishment you don't have to go to jail. You can directly benefit from a conditional release. For example if you steal something, and you don't have any previous criminal record, you walk free due to overcrowding.

In Turkey, prison sentences seem long on the paper, in real life you always get released a lot early. Especially now that prisons are hugely overcrowded.
Never has been.
Good point. This was used as a positive spin when there was the debate over whether Facebook is listening to your conversations.

The conclusion was no, but they are gathering more data from third parties so as to make direct listening unproductive. I found that more disturbing that Facebook has real-time access to whatever they believe I am looking at on Amazon, as presumably other places.

Personally, I think it's one of the three locations in Washington—Arlington—Alexandria. Of all the finalists, it's the only metro area that's broken into three. Every other finalist represents an entire metro area, but Amazon lists DC, NoVa, and Montgomery County as separate finalists. The implication of this is that even if Amazon was going to pick from the finalists at random, that metro area has three times the chances of any other.

On a deeper level, I think it means that they've already decided on putting HQ2 in the Washington—Arlington—Alexandria MSA, but they haven't yet decided what part of the MSA they're going to put it in, and they're going to have the three real finalists duke it out amongst themselves.

It makes sense: Amazon has some pretty deep ties to the area. Their original AWS datacenters are in NoVa. Jeff Bezos owns the Washington Post. Bezos also just bought a house in DC. The area is just as much home to Amazon as Seattle is.

Edit: Also, as a Texan myself, there's no way anything in Texas is going to get HQ2 with our LGBT-hostile state legislature. It's the same reason people are saying that Indianapolis might as well be disqualified due to the Indiana state legislature refusing to pass a hate crimes bill. Given what our legislature tried to pull this year, Amazon isn't going to touch us. And you can bet they'll try again in 2019, and Joe Straus won't be there to stop them.

Like the issue of morality of copyright infringement, this deepfake may well be immoral/amoral in western (and some other) societies, but that's missing the point.

This deepfake situation, and a similar situation that will occur by synthesizing fake speech in people's own voices, is unstoppable. All the complaining in the world won't stop it, because the barrier to entry will soon be trivial. What is the proposed response? Criminalize running certain kinds of neural nets? Or social media shaming anyone who publishes any fake (that's detectable)?

We all just need to get used to the fact that pretty soon audio and video recordings of people won't be verifiable without careful checking and comparing, and eventually maybe not even then.

Look at the bright side: someone can have a recording of you saying something crude and disrespectful and describing sexual assault, and if you're running for president you won't even have to admit it was you anymore, because soon anyone will be able to fake that kind of thing. Video's more difficult, but that too might happen.

As a free software activist, I haven't found that to be true. Remember that the term "open source" was created explicitly to sell the development methodology to businesses without talking about the ethical issues.

When developers write software under the umbrella of "open source", many aren't even aware of software freedom issues---they may be doing it because their peers are doing it; because they were told they should do it for a portfolio to get a job; or maybe because they like sharing their software with others. Some businesses liberate their code merely for contributions or press.

That's certainly not the case for all open source developers---there is, as you said, an overlap. But it's important to use the term "free software" and talk about software freedom to start those discussions and get people thinking about software freedom.

> That's pretty hard to infer given the context, since the MTA is controlled by both the city and the state.

Not really - the MTA is a private entity which receives the bulk of its funding from the state, and the state government is (ostensibly) responsible for holding it accountable.

> This is also true of say, Georgia. You can see for example that no one even ran against Buddy Carter in 2016 [1]. Most districts, period, aren't really that competitive.

New York is a special case in the degree to which both parties collude to keep districts non-competitive for general elections, how they ensure that even primary elections are non-competitive[0], and the number of state laws that they have passed in order to shield this power from being checked by voters at any step.

I don't really want to get too into the details here, because it's tangential to the original topic, but it's been discussed on HN before.

Efficiency, city's don't need to get bigger. Build a city for it's current residents and more people and companies will want to move there.

Remember, if someone wants to move to a larger city they can. However, being smaller is actually appealing because you get less traffic etc. Further, city's are only important due to it's residents, if everyone moved somewhere else it's not like the land is going to get upset.

You're just rephrasing the part that's ridiculous, which is that this sort of hyper-local competition for resources results in worse outcomes for all sides.

Or in my case I intend to wait and pick up cheap hardware when crypto tanks hard (i.e. Tether fraud collapses), or GPU mining becomes unprofitable, or altcoins switch to proof of stake.

In that same vein, fully expect to see an Amazon Credit Union someday as well and possibly part of a complete "Amazon Member Benefits" bundle.
