I'm on 6.8.3 and still using it as my default SMS app. Everyone in this thread is acting like SMS is already disabled. What am I missing?

I couldn't agree with this more, but it is mostly relevant to criminal cases and I think that almost all of the commenters here are thinking about civil cases.

Of course I agree with that. It's not an argument for relying more heavily on confession "evidence."

by public_defender 4y ago
This is not true. Many states have what is called a corpus delicti rule, which requires that a confession be corroborated by other evidence in order to sustain a conviction. I am inclined to assert that this is actually the law in most US s

They blow up an orbital ring structure in Consider Phlebas and it definitely leaves one wondering who thought it was a good idea to build it in the first place.

FYI you cannot use ChromeOS without a Google account. You also cannot log out of chrome on ChromeOS.

Texas is probably required to track and publish the data as the result of a well-founded accusation that the arrest -> trial -> execution pipeline is racist.

I have been thinking of setting up a pi4 as a wifi AP. Can you comment on the hardware performance? I am worried that the range or throughput might be poor, and thinking I might need to use an Intel ax200 or similar.

> working out of the box with Fedora is the same as being in the mainline (Linus) kernel. That's not right. For example, in my case with wifi the microcode was named incorrectly and one of the other configs needed to be updated, but

Correct me if I'm wrong, but this seems to confuse hardware support (e.g. drivers) for "working out of the box" with a particular distro. I have a CM4. It worked out of the box with RPi OS, but needed some hacking to get work

1) It was a petty criminal matter. 2) All the advertisement bluster in the world melts away at the arrival of the first subpoena, search warrant, or national security letter. I'm not saying that there must be no NordVPN logs, but I a

I'm sorry this happened to you.

It can happen that way. It can also happen another way where knowing about him isn't enough to be excused. It depends.

The upside is establishing a counter-narrative in the media. The hope is to inoculate the general public with the story of your defense, so that people who have been exposed to your defense theory are more likely to be on your jury. I'

Thanks. This is a good read.

> how many were petit larceny cases that resulted in jail time? How much jail time? I don't think I've seen anyone get a jail sentence for a shoplifting petit larceny in New York. However, people commonly serve jail time before

It could be wrong, I have no idea from a statistical prospective. You would have to analyze the people who are arrested and figure out what are the mortality rates in those narrow demographics, which is not my field. We can assume maybe 2

> Aren't most shoplifters not even caught? Maybe? I would tend to believe that but it seems impossible to know. I think companies tend to argue something like shrinkage == theft and theft > arrests, but that's pretty suspect

This is correct in the sense that the police have the ability to "let someone off with a warning," or loss prevention/the cashier can look the other way, but my statement applies to any case where someone gets a ticket or is

This is a reasonable comment if you're talking about stabbings or murders but not shoplifting. Allowing people to steal from retail stores with impunity doesn't make anyone unsafe. Realize that I'm not arguing for impunity, j

It clearly is true. I can actually watch it happen. You can too, if you go to arraignments in NYC. The line ADAs have no discretion to dismiss petit larceny (shoplifting) at arraignment. They need supervisor approval. There are other case

I read this as a joke. Touché, you've scored a point on the public defender meme account. In case someone reads this as sincere: This type of cognitive dissonance is neither necessary nor allowed for a public defender. In the first ins

Both can be true. Being the street-level operator for a crime gang isn't exactly a union job. The people doing the actual shoplifting are variously unhoused, mentally ill, substance dependent, and desperate. It kind of depresses me how
