I'm sorry. What can (non-american) outsiders do to help fix/improve this situation (in American prisons)?
242.
by chappi42 10y ago
But one could start with the small things: "yelled at...". Totally unnecessary imho. Why do this?

by chappi42 10y ago
Then why not just shoot them (and spare the money for food and housing)? (For the record, I'm strongly against death penalty). I cannot believe it. I would fire immediately all and every prison employee which act as respectlessly and i

Yes, but how is an inmate supposed to become 'better' in future if he (I assume this only happens to men) is treated this respectless? Maybe you are right with winning votes. But on the other hand I perceive the americans as quite

Well, nothing to do with hackers, but if this > Immediately they are yelled at by officers to strip naked, get ‘nuts to butts,’ and after being searched they are kept naked for several minutes until they are issued some boxers... is true

Free market doesn't mean that the government wouldn't be allowed to set basic standards which must be complied with. When I read that the income for Uber drivers goes as low as 8 US$/hr after deductions/costs, I think re

And if they don't have the choice to not drive for Uber? Maybe b/c higher paying taxis have been unable to compete? - Rather unamusing that Uber is (still) allowed to shift much of the risk to their drivers. Glad that in Germany t

> G Suite Email is a paid service that doesn't sell your privacy G Suite is an american service and will give away your privacy without a proper/open court case when receiving a gag order. This is very much in contrary to PM.

Exactly! The (already quite old) Ubuntu 14.04 that I use is reasonably well polished for me. However some of the apps I use/want are missing.

Yes you are right, I 'over-reacted'.

As you said: to some extent! Have a look at the "What is Github Pages" [1] and one clearly feels that Pages is meant for software, projects, manuals etc. And NOT to publish documents to shame 3rd party misbehaviour and hopefully a

It's really maybe not so useless as I thought. I forgot that such a list may show up on the first page when doing a google search for a (new) shop. The 631 stores have likely been fixed b/c of the publicity (thanks to kicking the

A 'normal consumer' won't be helped by such a technical list on github/gitlab. Do you really believe they would look there? If they wanted protection they could have installed Ad-blockers etc. long time ago already. (Or

Did you ask them for permission to publish a private communication? Probably not, bad of you! - Github/-lab is for projects imho and not a publishing platform. Why don't you publish it on your blog or something? All power to Githu

As long as taxi drivers have higher salaries and are better protected this is a good move. I very much salute the innovations uber enabled. Only there should be a law which guarantees a decent minimum salary for uber riders. No good to allo

If this [untold Arduino history]( http://arduinohistory.github.io/ ) link is true, it seems like Massimo Banzi is not only difficult to do business with but that he had a very particular way to give credit. Better buy clones.

I don't find a good link for the following statement but I saw it mentioned a few times lately and it seems that Erdogan was banished from political life because of it. At a conference in 1998, Erdogan quoted from an Islamic poem: &quo

Well if you don't follow foreign food purity issues (closely) then, please, try to comment a little bit more humble. Maybe asking instead of definitive statements?

> EU laws aren't being enforced. Sorry, to be blunt, but this is bullshit. There are scams (olive extra-virgin was a big problem), but in general the rules do work and problems are being addressed, e.g. in Italy every olive tree is

I agree. Nevertheless in the world of today the cover is important too :) I think...

Age and verbosity has imho no influence. I'd rather say the following points are important: - the project is not on github, issue tracker looks like from 2 centuries ago, ditto website, several different forum (maillists) instead of e.

Contrary to others here I like the upgrade reminder: - it looks good - you can disable the update (the text in the left lower corner really is not hard to find) - standardizing to up-to-date OS is a good thing (if the product is good, which

A Gooxit would be in order. From time to time I wonder why the EU accepts foreign companies stealing so much personal data. China did the right thing. We should learn from them. India, afaik, also has better protection.

Nothing to do with anti-Americanism. I'm critical b/c I think 'defrauding consumers' in this case doesn't deserve a 15 billion 'slap on the wrist' (which will hinder innovation and affect jobs here - VW co

Economic war: US vs. Germany. Nothing else. Nature would benefit if gasoline prices were 10 US per liter and people would stop to drive around senselessly. (I know the geographic circumstances make this impossible, but nevertheless...).

I used kdenlive 2 months ago. Worked very nice and was very useable (for someone without much video knowhow). There were some occasional crashes but thanks to autosaving this was not a big issue - but of course crashes should be fixed)

No good to - let tourists fly around in much too cheap airplanes (which destroy environment) and - let them live in much too cheap appartments (which destroy local communities) The weak imho are the nature and residents and not the touris

Agree, independent little is ..difficult. My main argument though was that the EU must somehow? reform and that this vote was a (partly dissapointing, partly brave) request for it. UK belongs to Europe and a re-negotiated 'Union-soluti

Maybe the EU as is should also resign and reappear in a better shape. Europe will stay Europe and I don't think everything will shatter now. On the contrary, isn't it a nice demonstration of democracy and treaties can be re-negoti
