To be honest, you're really straining that needle threading by relying on abstract terms. Let's get down to real people who exist in the real world. A cop was in a bad mood, gave excessive charges to someone, the judge then gave t

Are you seriously suggesting that keeping a person in jail for two years, who hasn't been given trial, solely because they can't pay $2,000 isn't effectively a punishment against being poor?

by chaps 3y ago
"we just don't want to put people in jail anymore." This is laughably far from the truth. There are loads and loads and loads of people who want to put people in jail. You can see that very clearly by looking at the number of

Again, I've asked for proof and you've given me handwaved personal interpretations. So let me ask directly: what is your proof that dispatch time/reporting is less than it was 20 years ago? Mind you, I professionally do repor

by chaps 3y ago
Friend, I asked for proof -- not conjecture. With everything related to policing, these things are never as simple as "simply have less [sic] cops". Reporting requirements change, dispatch systems change, unit composition change

by chaps 3y ago
LOL. Please back this up with some form of proof.

Maybe if someone has nothing to lose they are a flight risk, but if they have $100k on the line, they won't be? Same exact question can be asked about someone who's poor with a $500 bond. That same $500 will be trivial t

Sorry but, what do conviction rates have anything to do with this?

Burden's on you to show there's "crime wave" considering "crime" is going down across the board, ignoring the spike that happened during covid and 2020 protests (which is normalizing back towards the downwards

Do yourself and watch a public bond hearing. Guaranteed you'll be surprised by not just how much it's been "corrupted" but also how routine it is.

It's wild that it took this long to implement. A lot of the opposition came from the previous Chicago mayor who publicly believed that people accused of crimes are guilty. She used to be a prosecutor. https://blockclubchicag

This is hilarious. Thanks for sharing.

"I am happy to assist any business, organization or person to use our data." ..any? It makes me nervous that you actually mean that.

by chaps 3y ago
Sorry bud, I strongly disagree. This feels like an exception'd be warranted.

Oz, if you're reading this -- is there anything we can do to support you and your work?

Thank you for the well thought out response. I disagree with just about everything you say, but I understand where you're coming from and I appreciate the validation that the use of a VPN is more important than it's ever been. As

You're missing the point that the question is effectively asking for a list of hosts that they can block. Edit: they provided a method: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37510063

And you're literally advertising this project as being helpful for targeted ads. So it's pretty clear from the get go that what you consider creepy isn't what I consider creepy. And having done enough reidentification work to

Cool. Thanks. But let's say I do.

This isn't helpful. The comment was specifically asking about the probes, not ICMP traffic.

Not gonna lie, this creeps the heck out of me.

There's a good chance your buddy has an immune disease or something along those lines. Or knows someone who does. What's the harm? Especially when long COVID can cause long term effects that can cause professional harm (ie, an exi

Done this with 10lb CO2 containers used for brewing and such. Really doesn't take much CO2 to make a good amount of dry ice.

I don't work in security anymore, but when I did, access tended to be... loose. Outside of security, there hasn't been a single job (of quite a few) where I didn't have root access. At one of the hosting companies I worked at

Security researchers often have the most access to stuff at big companies.

"emergence" is a copout though. The answer was more along the lines of describing the electron as the primary interface between the instantaneous "now" and the future, and the breast being the interface between generatio

Sure, it's a knock-knock joke though. You start.

Heh, was once able to get chatgpt to give an articulate explanation about how the single electron model of the universe would explain both 1. consciousness and 2. why elephant breasts look like human breasts. It's such a good bullshit

That's fair and I was curious if the same thing would happen here. But this definitely isn't my domain :) In any case, here's a lovely FDA safety data sheet of strontium ferrite. It... uh.. apparently doesn't cause pain
