Transactions on the exchange don't take place on the blockchain. The data they're "proofreading" is probably in a traditional db.

I was thinking that at the very least, that'll be Exhibit A for anyone who might file a suit over this.

I think the only conclusion that I'm jumping to is that it was malicious. At best, it's a bad and very likely unconstitutional policy. Framing it as "asking" is dishonest- a cease and desist is a demand that you stop w

> The fact that it's just a letter and a finger wag implies that the government might know it's not a "true threat". Which makes this action unconstitutional. I doubt there's any kind of immediate legal recourse,

It's not terrorism, and LE are not lawyers or judges, but they have a fundamental duty to have an understanding civil rights. Sure, maybe not understand the nuances of more complicated stuff in the moment- but that wasn't the case

It does protect you from the government asking you not to engage in speech. The fact that no legal action was taken is what makes this behavior blatantly unconstitutional. If it was against the law, DHS would have arrested her- instead they

The virtual object could be relative to the person interacting with it rather than a stationary zone in space. With sound waves, for example, it could be something like a tightly focused beam combined with motion/finger/hand track

So, you're definitely right- go to someone with actual medical training first. But a physical therapist's job is to get people back to basic functioning. From there, a good fitness instructor can help a person with stretching, lig

I mean, I feel like you're being purposefully obtuse in trying to make some kind of "see! There's limits to all rights" point. I gave you what I believe is a reasonable and straightforward philosophical approach to the 2

Carry regulations specifically have loosened. CHL holders are statistically model citizens. They commit significantly less violent crimes than the general public, and significantly less than even trained police officers. Regulations on purc

There's 0 evidence the 94 ban had any effect. Violent crime was already on a downward tend, and when the ban sunsetted 16 years ago, that downward trend continued until the last 2 years. There's several links just in this comment

My thoughts on this... Considering the purpose and context of the 2nd, it essentially protects a contemporary citizen-soldier's "kit". The stuff he/she needs to join up in common defense with their community, which inclu

I've seen similar mechanisms here in the US but usually they're much bigger. Like you can curl all your fingers around it easily, and typically not blocked off like that. Most common is your [1] though.

I sent a message. I'm really interested in the HN discussion of this.. it's disappointing to see it just drop off the site.

Surely you're the enlightened one and everyone you know is willfully blind. Or maybe they're pragmatic and begrudgingly accept that to maintain any semblance of modern life, they have to participate in however society functions *n

What a ridiculous comparison. Being blocked and banned from what is essentially a public forum, despite having something of value to add to the discussion, is absolutely in opposition to the concept of freedom of speech.

He may have meant "small truck" instead of light truck? "light truck" has a specific definition and it's probably not what most people would think when using or hearing the term. A Prius is about the same weight as

There's quite a few people (in the US) that use "jeep" as a general term for any Jeep-sized offroading vehicle.

I mean... manufacturing a working modern firearm in their garage is probably much more achievable to the general population than rolling out any kind of encryption software. Anyone with some basic hands-on competency can make a gun.

With respect to composting- we're also issued a yard waste bin that's for a composting program (a good idea), so some kitchen scraps can go in there (I'm renting and good compost takes longer than I plan on staying here), but

That's the cost of having a functioning society. I don't have kids, yet I still pay school taxes because even though I'm not participating in that particular aspect of society, I still benefit from it. Public biking infrastru
