I dont want people defecating in the streets either, but how you going to prosecute that? If you have reached that level, do you care about a fine you cant pay? Is govt going to fine them the $250 they dont have? Also where are they suppos

Should people talk more to their neighbors and try to hash things out? Sure. Personally I would very rarely ever call the police. But at least see the point of view of someone who might very legitably not feel comfortable knocking on someon

If you are on HN then you probably are White/Asian/Indian and middle class or above now, or in upbringing. You are less likely to mix with who have bad interactions with the police. I agree broad statements like minorities can&#x2

WebOS is the Snapcaht of operating systems (course Snapchat still lives, but doesn't get anywhere near the reward of all it pioneered).

I have tried to get rid of old unused tech stuff, but can't get rid of my old Pre. The feel of it even without turning it on is a thing of beautiful design. Combined with WebOS which was the best at the time and for a while after. Pal

Any PR pro worth their rate would have him and senior management very publicly flying only on 737 Max flights when they comeback online. Assurances alone are going to mean a very rocky road back for this plane.

The problem with Customs and Border Protection is the attitude. They do have a challenging job. 99%+ of travelers are legit and doing nothing nefarious. They have to pick out the ones who are not legit/up to no good. I have no problem
