This seems really good for other nations' world leaders (for good and bad). The US government may not tell you about their attacks, but polymarket will give you heads up!

Yes, but usually something like that leaves other signs. If men with guns take away a lot of people in your company in theory other people will notice.

I'm surprised that top 20 in Osu doesn't require video proof beyond screen recording! A hand cam requirement for even one run would have instantly called this out.

The sad thing is, laws like this are almost worse when they are used infrequently, since they the government can apply selective enforcement against people it doesn't like but are otherwise legal (we're seeing that now). Laws like

That is literally the way laws work. Laws don't have moral statuses attached in them, we prescribe that to them as citizens. It would be wrong for this law to be enforced, and it should be revoked, but from a state perspective and a le

Longer incarceration times and lower rehabilitation (and lack of interest in it) are definitely huge ones you're right.

Those are very good points, but it does make me question how other countries handle the mentally ill so much better.

You actually seem to have a compelling case here. I am seeing something like 20% of the combined state and federal prison population is in for drug offenses, but that raises some more questions. I could certainly believe that a lot of that

The United Kingdom also extensively uses private prisons, along with Japan and Australia, among others. If that is it then it would be a lobbying problem specific to the US, which seems like it could be pinpointed to more specific laws or s

That's a convenient explanation, but it's almost too convenient. We just got unlucky and there's not much we can do? We just got bad people and bad culture and that's that? It's also pretty difficult to prove! Not t

That's can't be entirely it. Other nations have similar laws against drug use, and from what i remember reading only 5% of the prison population is in jail for non-violent drug related crimes.

Well not exactly. The guidelines are contradictory. They say that "Anything that good hackers would find interesting" is on topic, but "Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports" are off topic. How do you resolve

To pick one point out of the article for discussion, does anyone have any idea why the US is the leader in per-capita prison rates? The laws aren't all that different from other first world nations, and i doubt all the other nations ha

For a real answer, if something being posted to HN only requires it be relevant to someone and be interesting, doesn't that mean that anything is allowed? There is currently a conflict between groups of HN users as to what is reasonabl

As an active reverse engineer, I'm really curious how you used agetic AI for this! Did you just have them going through the code and labeling stuff? Or were they also responsible for writing the reimplementation? This overview is super

out of curiosity, why is a self signed cert bad for this case? Can't the updater check the validity of the cert just as well regardless? Or did the attackers get access to the signing key as well?

I agree with your overall point, but for Kim's case, it seems it was actually NZ police who arrested him, no? NZ just decided to enforce US law because of mutual treaties.

The _implementation_ of capitalism has a goal, it should be obvious that's what i meant from the context.

Which is why i say in theory, yes. If there are no regulations the ideal job for a capitalist to take is robbing people!

That's one of the points in favor of capitalism. Most people are not innately good (even "normal" people). The goal of capitalism in theory is to cajole them into acting good by linking helping a customer with monetary benefi
