>It's not like police have 24/7 involuntary access to everyone's video. I can't tell you how many times I've heard this one since I started on the internet in '97. It's never true.

Dollar General, Family Dollar, etc, won't feel it, but little independent small 99c/dollar store businesses will.

Will this even matter when Chinese Alibaba/Aliexpress sellers recently started sending their items to Singapore to avoid tariffs and shipping restrictions?

>So is drop shipping from China now dead? Probably. This is going to drop a lot of sellers off of Amazon and eBay, and likely have major effects on independent small business dollar/99c stores.

>What concession? It's a clear market distortion that shipping rates across such distances are so ridiculously low. I'm not sure why anybody is supporting them. Come on, everyone supports ridiculously low costs on anything.

Nonsense, not everything from China is a knockoff and there are a lot of genuine non-copied products. How weird to think their economy is just "inferior knockoffs".

>Having bought a couple drop-shipped goods from China, I, for one, won't miss it. I will, China makes good stuff depending on if you do your research to what's quality and is just a cheap piece of crap.

What factors are causing that rise? More people living at home? More roommates to lower enormous housing costs?

You sound like you walk around in daylight just seeing people shooting up on every street. Its absolutely not true. Its actually really tough to find someone shooting drugs unless you're really looking at night hours. It's honestl

>Interesting take on the situation - one key difference is I don’t feel any less safe now than 10 years ago walking around. Exactly. I don't feel unsafe walking around Seattle at all, even with junkies screaming their heads off. You

I've seen plenty of people shooting drugs in Seattle. So what? As long as they're not out attacking people or giving it to kids or something, I could care less what they do to themselves. Seattle has a different mindset, it always

This is exactly it. It's almost totally a non-issue. I see orange needle caps and the occasional needle, but these junkies aren't attacking everyone, in fact you can just ignore them. I walk around in a dress downtown and on cap

Facebook and Twitter constantly doing the work of states. Where is the transparency list of accounts that were banned? Why is this even news worthy other than an advertisement?

How many people never see the small news website telling the unabated truth but are only getting 65 patreons every month and a few tens of thousands of hits, if that? Now compare that to the viewership of USA's political propaganda net

You can tell truths up an down, have all kinds of sources that provide evidence to your claims, and HN will downvote you if it is self-criticism of US government or capitalistic practices that lead to censorship in similar ways as China. It

Nobody responded with any evidence to suggest Russia did anything other countries like UK with Cambridge Analytica didn't do, but there sure were a lot of downvotes! Time to open your mind to reality, Hacker News.

US/NATO used a shortwave psyops mission to assist in turning Libya into a failed state with open slave trade. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vUsaRM8zPoA

Haha...thinking private corporatiom ownership will allow any sort of true freedom. Silly.

I really wouldn't recommend shortwave for that. It is mostly religious nutcase stations from around the world. Make sure to go into an empty field or wood. Everyone running dimmer switches, homes full of IoT are blasting HF noise into

Most mainstream pess is propaganda in the USA. You cannot have free press when the majority of media is for-profit and colsolidated into the hands of fewer companies than ever. The filters keep the truth from being told and you don't e

Slack is better than Teams in my opinion, but Slack still suffers from things even IRC has advantages over. Teams UI is atrocious. IRC is free, has channel administration & granular permissions, a working & functional tab complete,

Embracing open source != buying major open source or making open source an advertising platform for your for-profit endeavors.

Lets have the interests of giant for-profit corporations backing our open source projects, that will surely end up in the best interests for free and open software!

Maybe fix the issues that cause those crime rates instead of throwing more abilities at already overpowered police departments?

Who defines what is hate speech and what is misinformation though? We're in post truth where I don't even think the "good actors" are acting truthfully.
