In the physical space, Walmart is still king though, so the same concerns that apply to Amazon's ecommerce would also apply to Walmart's in store product placement. The anti-trust concerns would also apply to Walmart's own ec

That's not entirely true. There are a category of legal defenses called "affirmative defenses" [1] where you are presumed guilty and have to prove beyond a reasonable doubt something that makes your typically unlawful conduc

The first leap is the hardest. Once you've got your foot in the door of somewhere "prestigious" that you can list on your resume, a lot of doors open. One of the easier ways to make that first leap is to attach your name to

Reasonable seems valid. With the information they had, those New Yorkers reasoned that the police were doing a good job. Likewise if you were to bring them new information, they might reason that the police are doing a bad job. And there ar

I think the network permissions allow you to specify IP ranges it is allowed to connect to. So you could limit it to only being able to connect to the DB server. It would still be an issue for things that need global internet access, thou

There are quite literally millions of examples. Anyone who has a copyrighted work and has made money from it is an example. There are absolutely valid questions around how much diminishing that compensation affects innovation, and around t

Body armor, perhaps. I still think it creates a moral hazard; if you were in a situation where someone might shoot you, how much does the idea that your vital organs are protected influence your decision to keep yelling commands versus a d

There is a significant difference in incentives, though. How many well-to-do people get evicted? Not a lot. And if they do, they can probably afford a higher deposit on their next apartment to offset the perceived risk. And they probabl

They also get it on both ends. Felons make 41% less than their same age counterparts [1]. Thus they are both felons, and have lower income (as well as a higher likelihood of evictions, etc). I've been reading Evictions: Poverty and P

I don't think it's an accusation of overt racism, but rather a side effect of systemic racism creating a subconscious bias. There is an open question of why you have the personal preferences you do, and why a personal preference

I agree with you, I think there is a failing on two parts: firstly, police are ill equipped (training wise) to handle this and it was a systematic failure to deploy them like this. Secondarily, police (I would guess their union) have contin

The rent seeking is effectively the incentive for new creation. By creating something, you can then rent seek to get compensated. Any reduction in the ability to rent seek is a reduction in compensation, and thus in the incentive.

I went on a Google search for prior case law, because this piqued my interest. Everything I can find says that they are not required to disclose evidence, with the exception of 1) things they intend to use in court 2) physical evidence. T

I disagree with the premise, I'm not aware of protestors threatening bystanders. And at the point that they're threatening to kill bystanders, that has progressed past rioting to terrorism. At that point, I think the full spectru

This implies that a riot was the intended goal of the protestors. I wasn't there, so I don't know for sure, but I can't imagine militarized police showing up gave the protestors warm and fuzzy feelings. The implied threat o

I don't think this is particularly newsworthy, nor that it reflects poorly on the Trump administration. 18 U.S. Code § 2101, the relevant law, clearly stipulates: As used in this chapter, the term “to incite a riot”, or “to organize, p

There are note taking systems that enabled that. Obsidian (from here a couple days ago) and Trilium both track links and backlinks, which can let you integrate that to a degree. It creates a web of information, as opposed to a strict hier

I would be shocked if that is effective (although I'm not an expert, so I'm open to being shocked). Tracking someone who relocates without creating a new identity seems trivially easy even for unorganized crime. Facebook or Insta

Right, that's discovery as I understand it. But why would you, as the defense, plan to present a video that demonstrates your guilt? If you aren't going to present it, it isn't part of discovery. The prosecution is require

It does work in some cases. I need some bleach to help clean out the condensation line in my AC unit. I looked and Amazon's lowest price that I could get in a short amount of time was around $30/gallon. I pretty quickly decided

They have not. The surcharges are the same as they always were. And depending on what you buy, the transaction fees might be as high, or higher (which is why you see the minimum credit card signs sometimes). So I assume you have some evid

One significant difference is the sharp decline in value per watch/listen. Your favorite songs in your music library probably have hundreds of listens; how many times have you seen your favorite movie? No one signs up for Spotify to b
