Your interpretation of the constitution is quite expansive. In what provision do you find it unconstitutional that laws are passed regulating the distance of someone to be kept away from interfering with police duties? Police put up tap

That's fine of course. Just don't do it right in the police's faces as an attempt to interfere or borderline provoke a situation.

It will stop people from getting up in the police's face while trying to do their jobs and provoking conflict.

As I said in another comment, you sound like you feed on turning 0.001% exceptions into the rule. Almost all police in this country are not beating protestors or murdering people. I don't want to have a system where someone's ex

I think you need to consider visiting outside of the echo chamber you live in. We do not have some epidemic of innocent people being shot. You feed on turning 0.001% exceptions into the rule.

I don't see this as the same knee-jerk "the police are being shielded from having their misdeeds recorded" as other people are jumping to do. If you look at some of the video of police trying to do their jobs and having scree

I was thinking about the arson attacks (Kyoto and Osaka, and others) and some mass stabbings.

Pardon me for making an outsider's observation, but it appears to me that in Japan you have either extremely safe and no crime / complete safety and courtesy (most of the time), or 0.1% of the time some guy goes off his rocker and

I'm quite liberal on most topics, but I dreaded expecting to read that California state government was going to spin up some office of pharma manufacturing with all the state employees that entails. Thank god it's only talking abo

Schadenfreude and gladness that this guy got convicted. He was abusive and threatening to the employee(s) who raised genuine concerns about the technology and the medical claims being made.

Now here is a more intellectually interesting question to me, and somewhat a reaction to our western media reporting interviewing mostly the young and the liberal who want to leave HK: What do you do, or how should you feel/react/

Well, pardon me for pointing out, but he really should be talking to the people who aren't available to him to meet. The workers, slaves, people in jails. I'm sure they would have a slightly different opinion. Availability bia

So manufacturers are free to declare that the method of putting in some part is a technique covered by trade secrets? How will the bill deal with that, when manufacturers declare that most of the things you want to repair are their propri

Sometimes legislation being worked out dies because the details really can't be squared with reality or practicality. I have not seen an example proposal of language for such a bill that didn't invite many, many questions about ho

When it comes to rights guaranteed in the Constitution, millions of Californians, especially if they want to trample on those rights, are not the adults in the room. Those questions have been removed from the democratic process (by the pe

"Rightful owners"? Wow, I really hope you're not in any position of authority.

Thank god this kind of lazy and intellectually dishonest thinking (I hesitate to call it logic) gets checked by courts in the end.

Just because someone says that they believe in something, does that mean that they're right, and that they get to force others to do anything they want based on that belief? Including discriminating against yet others?

I found these points of the court's judgement noteworthy: -- If a California government action contains discriminatory classifications with the intent to reverse or compensate for discrimination, that original discrimination must be co

See through some things, but not through others? How about hiding billions of pounds worth of corrupt money in London real estate? Not so much.

I guess this is why gay pride parade floats now come with built-in GPS spoofing broadcast modules in addition to the techno music blasting speakers.

I agree very much. The whole document in the OP reads like someone who lost his Twitter account and is trying to communicate in PPT.

For someone who advocates clear writing and communication, it's pretty amusing that he puts this advice into the worst kind of information-sparse 125-page Powerpoint, and thinks that it needs to be protected with a copyright.

In Silicon Valley, I bet you will find people who feel they've been discriminated against or feel they have to hide such loyalties/opinions/affinities in tech, just as much as any other group. And by the way, what is the crit

I'm curious to know how much your logic and position depends on you agreeing with the opinions being advocated for. You would, I suppose, equally defend a company in "especially welcoming applications from candidates who believe

This is admirable, but seems much more difficult! With electronics, there are a handful of brands and products if you look at a particular piece of equipment. Specs are probably well scrape-able. The dimensions of a TV are not easy to fake

Tell me about human psychology -- You sign onto a job with no promise of getting a bonus until you work, say, 90 days. What does it matter if you got fired 1 month before that date, versus 1 day? You feel it was almost yours, and it fee
