Did I read that right? If you find an old coin on your land in England you could go to jail for not reporting it? So not only do you not own it, the crown owns it because it is ‘treasure’ and you can go to jail for not reporting the find? H

> a police force which refuses to prevent crimes That isn’t what the law has determined though. The law has only determined that police can’t be sued or imprisoned for failing to assist. It can be my job to pick up trash, but that doesn’

In what way would precogs have absolutely been required here? This was out in the open in a public place. Ever considered that if there were ample police people wouldn’t be so brazen as to commit murder in public, better yet, police could h

You think precogs are required for any level of crime prevention? No wonder people are fleeing SF

Legally obligated to protect != Prevention Not sure how that is relevant

You can't possibly be serious, right? So what is the point of police patrol? Adjusting police presence in different areas? Community initiatives? Prevention is definitively a key component of modern policing at least in every city and

> San Francisco authorities hit back at Elon Musk and others who had used Lee’s killing to criticize law enforcement in the city. Tagline is kinda weird... isn't murder kinda indicative of a law enforcement failure?

Didn't the Japan early warning system work pretty well? I'd say it was an improvement that wouldn't have been possible without increased abilities over the decades.

I’m as annoyed as the next person at those looking to see the new twitter fail, having said that I simultaneously love the idea of new things challenging the status quo. Decentralization is somewhat a core tenant of the hacker ethos so I do

Maybe it is just my niche use cases but after spending a good few hours with both, 3.5 for me has actually produced more coherent outputs for me which is a little confusing to me. Maybe I need to rethink my prompting or something.

How powerful of a transmitter can you operate legally in the USA? How much space does that cover? I know there is some limit cause drive in theaters used to transmit on FM and I believe there even used to be adapters for cars that would tra

Continue to spew misinformation and those are exactly the headlines we'll see more of. You are the one speaking in falsehoods and having your comments flagged and removed by moderators not me. No amount of hand wringing, inflammatory l

Exactly, due to tons of misinformation about the law like the above - it is causing tons of problems - we don't need to further spread it.

So when the US FDA is shilling for obesity drugs, says that being obese isn’t a lifestyle problem but is purely genetic. Medical schools are lowering/removing certain standards for admission under the guise of ‘equity’ - thats all just

The law is informed by human morality, they both retreated from upholding the law and in my opinion they lose the moral high ground simultaneously. That isn’t conflating, that’s stating what they did legally and then also stating my moral o

No, that isn't what astroturfing typically implies. Astroturfing is spreading FUD and misinformation in more automatable or massive ways, which in turn will cause articles to be written that echo these misinterpretations or misinformat

Something worse? China and others bans almost every western social media company. Is the US not allowed to retaliate on those grounds alone? This bill only authorizes the banning of tech companies operated out of western enemy states: China
