The current domain registration also dates to 2003 and as someone lower in the thread notes the current owner is connected to "4president.org". I'm having trouble accessing old snapshots, though. The Internet Archive has one

You keep saying this, but there actually is a legal standard for this, and following people around, yelling at them, none of that is interference with public acts.

These "undercover" reporters have screenshots, surely they could show one of actual crimes instead of something that you keep willfully misinterpreting as such. We've already given you the mundane explanation, but it seemingl

The "interfering" this are describing is your framing . You want it to be interference in a legally actionable way, but it simply isn't.

The crowd sourced lists don't identify the owners of the vehicles, because that does not matter. They identify vehicles that ICE is using, and "likely a rental" is one good signal.

I know you want to frame it a different way, but the articles you are posting don't describe anything that's illegal.

Hell, with the way they're using them as weapons and abandoning them any self respecting rental company should be dropping them as customers anyways.

Other public reporting notes that the system used, while heuristic in some cases, includes multiple different kinds of ICE ~oracles, so just seeing a rental car isn't enough for anyone to treat a vehicle as "confirmed" anyway

It appears to be primarily getting agents into the chats. To me the questionable conduct is their NPSM-7-adjacent redefining of legal political categories and activities as "terrorists/-ism" for the purpose of legal harassmen

I don't know what they think they're doing there. If the most interesting thing they found was the public website leading to a fundraising platform for mutual aid a) there is literally nothing illegal there, and b) you can find th

Journalists doing ride alongs have already identified the system and it doesn't really on "restricted databases", they rely on observation and multiple attestation. In any case, there are indeed commercial services for lookin

Another great way to do this would be to preemptively arrest your political enemies with a pretext of assumed fraud and use that as a fishing expedition. Then you could spread your retribution by trying to violently suppress anyone who got

* It assumes that the government's priorities are malleable enough that it will eventually decide to prioritize these laws, but not malleable enough that they could change them. This is self-contradictory. * It assumes that a person&#x

It's effectively a push poll, and it's not changing anything about DuckDuckGo. They really want you to know that Yes AI or No AI, we gotchu dude, you can do whatever.

Everything you write here assumes that the world is far more rigid and full of inevitability than can be justified.

There have been some insane politics (especially "culture war" stuff) that got laundered through the HN "reasonable discussion" filter, especially from 2021 through 2024. They still come up all the time. HN loves talking

My pitch to the people near me who have no connection to the auto industry is that an electric Ranger (90's style) would have been a huge hit. I get the feeling that the Lightning came about because Ford managers don't really know

I have a 20-year-old hard plastic gaming mouse pad I use at home and it's terrific. At work I have some promotional neoprene covered pad with a terrible Qi charger on one side. The mouse pad similarly works great. The biggest annoyance

I can't say I like the 604 from looking at it, but that's a pretty surface level judgment and I'd have to use it to really compare. For my purposes a rechargeable mouse that lasts more than a day is fine because I'm usin

I loved my Performance MX. I finally had to replace it at work (software wouldn't install after migrating to Windows 11) and the MX Master 3 I got seems much ergonomically worse to me. I also am not a fan of the thumb wheel replacing b

The immigration laws of this country still require, on the paper that most of trusted until not so long ago, due process, which ICE are flagrantly violating, to include "arresting"(kidnapping) people following the written law to g

We're well past the point that they should be, I would be more concerned their descendants won't be, based on, let's say the last 250 years of this national experiment.
