Are these the same psychological evaluations that psychiatrists do to determine if somebody can be involuntarily committed? Because that sounds like an even bigger problem than this being abused in the criminal justice system. At least in t

How come this type of thing isn't highly discouraged? As in, law enforcement or the justice system pressuring people into this should be a taboo with serious punishments. We have laws around entrapment, so how come this is okay?

And then all that data sits in a database forever.

Well, the difference is that extorting someone is a lot more illegal in a lot more countries than running not farms. Extradition usually requires that whatever a person is accused of is a crime in both countries, which makes extortion a big

It's not about who patrols the Strait of Hormuz. It's about who and what backs them up. If the Iranians decide to sink the frigates there (to do their blockade) then they can expect a visit from a US carrier group. If there is no

To some degree? Sure. But if it truly was about hating women talking about video games for being women, then how come some of the idols of the movement were women themselves? If it's all about misogyny then shouldn't they hate peo

That just means you'll go out of business then and the users will end up using a Chinese/Russian/other country (knockoff) instead with the same ads snuck in there. It costs a lot less to develop software in certain other coun

I think this is the biggest issue with private healthcare. You pay a lot of money for it, yet you can still end up with subpar care and extra charges for out of network professionals

Yes.[0] But I'm unsure whether this is due to private vs public healthcare. My guess is that it has more to do with how developed the medical industry is in the country. Size of the country probably matters as well. [0] https:/&#

One very important thing to counter hate is to try to have everyone in society involved in society somehow. People are much less willing to wish ill on others in society (or society itself) if they feel that they are part of it. A lot of st

I would like to echo your statement. I've always found it bizarre how people conflate insults with threats. In the vast majority of cases we can draw a very distinct line between the two. On top of that, it's not like this has any

And the UK can do that because the UK is willing to rely on the US. Now that relations with the US are straining in the West other western countries are increasing their military spending/cooperation. (Eg EU army.)

The Cold War was essentially about trade. And it's not that Iran would stop all oil shipments forever. They'd stop some shipments that are related to certain countries that they don't like as a political move.

I think it isn't so easy to say that what the US military does is a waste of your money. A lot of US foreign policy is about "free trade" that's beneficial to the US. If you were to cut off the US military then you'

I find HN to be one of the best mobile websites. It's fast and text isn't massively oversized. You can actually fit information on screen. Many mobile websites I've seen are horrible to use, because they have very poor inform

Are you sure you're describing a school and not a prison? I notice that the kids have essentially no choice in anything - can't choose clothing or seating and thus friends. Also, are you sure that bad things didn't happen or

The problem is that this is an industry of tinkerers. A lot of projects started out and continue to be maintained by people that do it as a side project. How are you going to police that? People seem to build software as a hobby and sometim

That's not new reality. That is the world we live in. If you're big enough/your product is widespread enough then you get to set the rules. From a practical point of view it even makes some sense. It's up to the author

The problem is that there is no easy way for somebody to pay more to access this feature. You have to jump through hoops to buy it and you probably won't even get official support. Meanwhile the alternative to Windows doesn't cost

This kind of an article sounds incredibly damning to me. It indicates that Boeing is essentially rotten on the inside and that anybody doing business with them should be wary.

And "low resolution" SVGs will look bad in the future too. It won't be as graphically apparent, but they will look barren and odd, because there's no detail as they were designed with a lower resolution in mind.
