I have a right to collect evidence in my own defense, and that evidence may not be abrogated by by-standers to the event who might attempt to prevent me gathering that evidence.

Yeah, that is totally okay, its why human rights are so important to protect. You wouldn't want to be in a situation where an authority doesn't allow you to avoid them like the plague, would you? It is, therefore, your right to

Alas, your knowledge or consent is not a requirement if you are in public, and this is a human right worth defending, frankly. Your desire to consent to being recorded in public places does not counteract my right to record everything I can

You seem to be ignoring the retaliation that would be enacted at a drop of a couple of those bombs.

There are plenty of people on HN who are active in protecting human rights, and this particular incident is a clear example of the amount of work still left to do in the world by those of us who care about each other more than we cling to n

Of for sure, the second hand market in Japan is really very inspirational. In the 90's I did a trip to Japan for second-hand synth gear and came back with 4x the stuff I'd have had, if I'd only shopped local - and this was in

He devalues and invalidates his fellow human beings, from a position of disdain, too much for my liking. Avoiding his activities.

I think this is short-sighted - there are many applications where a single node is all one needs, and this is a huge part of Hetzners user base, presumably. A bit of anecdote from me, as a decades-long Hetzner user: I have personally felt n

China wants to help the world . They have decided to build their empire not with bombs and sanctions but with roads and projects which help the local community. You might want to check your own attitude about China.
