There is both a practical and ideological difference between a private person putting a camera on their private property and agreeing to share that data with law enforcement when requested, and government organizations deploying fleets of c

"The DEA" doesn't have opinions because it's not a person. Marijuana was made schedule 1 close to 60 years ago, and it's very possible the people who made that decision had racist motivations. It's also possibl

Poor neighbors are where the crime happens - at least the crime that some beat cop is qualified to see or investigate. > “Crimes of wealth” do plenty of violence Not for actual definitions of violence, no. I'm not saying they&#x27

You can be a libertarian without being a capitalist, and you can be a capitalist without being a libertarian, so I'm not sure what point you're trying to make with a [completely accurate] libertarian dig when the original point wa

Even if this was correct (it's not), it seems irrelevant to the point.

If you've ever seen any body cam footage on YouTube I'd wager that about half of them have a moment where the cop is asking someone for information they're not legally required to provide, and it's framed as "I have

Yes, it is, and this is a financial incentive to commit a crime.

You take a sledge hammer to the street a block over. Repeat. Profit. You do a bad job filling the hole. Some hits it and their car breaks. They sue you and the city. The city attorneys successfully push the blame onto you since you're

Well your last sentence shows exactly why it wouldn't work and so you're not really talking about "1/10th of that sum per pothole" you're talking about, I don't even know - paying random people random sums

I think a healthy proportion of HN would view a "<=25mph or your car breaks" as a feature, not a bug.

I'm not sure what your point is, are you complaining about... compound interest?

It's almost as if government corruption is not a byproduct of the system of government, but a byproduct of the fact that it's filled with people, and when people accrue power they will, by and large, abuse it.

No but you don't understand they're on the right team so I have to vote for them.

How many of those unemployed people want to get a job filling potholes, or mowing the lawn at the park? How many are qualified to do anything about pollution in whatever specific sense you mean? What job does your average unemployed person

As long as 3d printers are less than 50% harder to use than normal printers, they're dimensionally easier per capita.

Because there's no jobs? No apply button? Nothing actually there except a few lines of text?

Serious question: why would a defense attorney want to kick off the one crazy juror who brings up jury nullification during voir dire?

I don't want to blow your mind but the union is part of the system. A pretty central part, actually.

You've never negotiated with a union rep on anything, have you? You pay every beat cop in the country $1 million/yr and they would never agree to the level of accountability most people expect. Independent review of actions by som

You do get to choose not to use TSA though. It might be inconvenient or expensive but that doesn't mean the choice doesn't exist.

It's a pretty well-known exploit that the CIA is capable of turning a lot of electronics with speakers into microphones. I imagine there is an entire classified backlog of things they can turn into microphones without the target's

Seems like quite a pain in the ass to save the equivalent of $7/month. If you value your time at all it's barely worth it.

If nobody else wants to buy 50,000 tons of canned peaches, why should the government use other people's tax revenue to buy those peaches? Why not just get rid of them (which is what we're doing)?

What makes you think the government is remotely qualified to run a canning operation, a logistics operation, a warehousing operation, an HR operation, and a finance operation for peaches? Also which government? Because there are at least 3-
