Calling the police isn't doxxing someone, it's a reasonable response to a situation. Vilifying them online isn't reasonable. It's how you end up with harassment, death threats, swatting, people going after your job, your

I'm fine with people being critical of it, some questionable behaviour pretty clearly occurred. I'm tired of Americans acting like they have a monopoly on Freedom and giving (often uninformed) opinions about how screwed up the jus

That's a CRTC ruling designed to promote Canadian content. It's a protectionist measure because the US is right next door. It has helped artists get exposure. Stills shitty when a third of the radio content is the same stuff all t

> Or is it just an artefact of getting my Canada news from HN? Bingo. Look up how many individuals end up getting sued for massive settlements (i.e. extorted into settling) in Canada vs the US.

There is supposed to be a court appointed supervisor there to ensure the rights of the defendant. Sounds like a pretty massive screwup by them.

I believe you, but at the same time it's an issue every time I go to use it. I want to use this crate, it has a feature flag and now I'm on nightly. Now, I'm willing to use the bleeding edge, since I'm just just learning

I don't agree with a lot of the censorship for copyright eihter (nintendo and lets play videos is one such example). You seriously can't see the rather important moral difference between "take down this site selling copies of

That "forced censorship" isn't about a right to be forgotten or any reasonable definition of freedom of expression. It's about a company violating IP rights. The US government puts the same pressure on Google. Worse actu

One of the big problems is actually that nobody knows. Yeah, guys getting shot was disturbing to my Indian friend. I'm more concerned when a story pops up saying that the "immigration reform" might reduce green cards by half.

Any site which requires this type of thing to signup sounds like one I don't want to be a part of. Seems like a recipe for a hive mind.
