But what's the point of holding something accountable here? Creating an incentive for them to take your needs seriously? Why does an incentive matter if you already know that one has a superior expected outcome?
This is the same faulty standard you constantly hear applied to self-driving cars, where human lives are also often at stake. You don't need the AI to be perfect. You just need it to be substantially better than the average human (which self-driving cars are). Your nurse who's caring for 15 patients at once might not make perfect decisions either. That doesn't categorically disqualify humans from delivering health care
And how do you know if you have been breached if you (negligently, in my opinion) have no audit logging, multiple principals sharing the same account, and no anomaly tracking? Does a breach only happen if the attacker brags openly about it?
The difference with accounting is that, relatively speaking and certainly within this context, few businesses are cash businesses. Your bank is keeping at least a basic audit log of money coming in and out of the corporate bank account. Your payment processor is keeping at least a basic audit log of who paid you and how much. You won't make your auditors happy if they're the only documents you have, but they're at least something to be handed over in an audit that pretty much every software business will have. Cybersecurity? By default, nothing is collected.
forensic accounting and audits also require a paper trail.
So if you have no logging and such, you will have already failed regulatory reporting standards - just like you would fail an accounting audit if you have no paper trail of where your money went!
I've never heard anybody say anything like that when criticizing prop 13. It usually has more to do with housing prices and the fact that 2 people with the same home value should pay the same in property taxes. If you wanted to create a hereditary landed gentry, it would be hard to come up with a better policy to achieve that than prop 13.
Have you ever met anyone who genuinely believed himself to be doing bad things? I don't mean in some cynical sense but literally. Even when we portray overly simplified villains in comic books there's still consistently some justification behind their actions.
Good idea. Write a python script, and then code the minimal c interpreter possible to make that specific script work, utilizing the script itself as string reference (and any other way one can manage to utilize it in the interpreter itself).
