You would need more than just a pre-travel testing requirement. You would also have needed an arrival quarantine and post-arrival testing. I wonder what percent of asymptomatic positive cases pre-arrival testing actually catches. I’m sure t

I agree that this is a limit on corporations’ free speech. Monopolistic corporations do have a well founded legal limit to their free speech rights. For example, it’s a form of free speech for Microsoft to decide how they write their own so

There are other laws than the 1st Amendment that come into play here. The 3 biggest technology companies in the world united in the last two days to shut down an upstart competitor who was, at the time, literally the #1 app on iPhone and An

This would only be true as long as whatever the decryption algorithm is, it is not possible to run it off of the device, or otherwise interrupt the process of resetting the counter used to decide to rate-limit or self-destruct. Famously old

The last commit on that branch is April, 2020 so I can't imagine that's kept up-to-date?

I think a lot of people have been using HN for political battle since January 6th, but I stand by my comment history, and I think that I more than earn an ongoing voice in the HN community with my contributions each week. I don't think

I commented exactly the same last time this subject came up last week or so. IANAL, but I did some research then, and my understanding is that the Supreme Court has ruled that to the extent that a union spends money on political activities,

Has anyone actually been charged with sedition, treason, or insurrection?

Again, I’m not interested in the political flame war. You want to make it solely about the right, and the term fascist is thrown around against many on the right regardless of how non-fascist they may be, often times immediately followed by

It’s not about “fascists”. That’s your politics talking. It’s about violence. And that bail fund? That was Kamala Harris.

I get it - to you it's just a political flame war. Easier to just brand everyone who voted for Trump a terrorist sympathizer, than to consider the myriad reasons they may have had for voting how they did. It's only 74.2 million pe

I’d suggest the comments are actually not as much to do with Trump specifically as you seem to suspect.

> At this point I get the feeling that a lot of people posting here are apologists for domestic terrorism and it worries me. What a great way to shut down any discussion. Anyone who doesn’t agree must be terrorist apologists? If you re

To the extent that these separate companies are actually coordinating a takedown of a third party, they could run afoul of anti-racketeering / RICO statutes. Not that I would hold my breathe waiting for the Department of Justice to pre

I’m not talking about the photo op, I’m talking about the police presence trying to contain the violent mob earlier in the day.

by zaroth 6y ago
This would be great if it applied universally. Except, 2020 demonstrated very clearly it only applies to specific violent protest, not all violent protest in general.

So.... nothing in that link says anything about the guy who had a heart attack being shot. The rest of your comment seems to be rambling nonsense.
738.
by zaroth 6y ago
The person you replied to isn’t defending the action of the mob. They are rebutting the claims being made of what hypothetically could have happened. “Do you realize what you are defending?” is just a tactic to shut down a conversation you

I think there’s a legitimate question as to whether you’re just making this up on the spot because you’re angry, or if there’s any actual evidence of this that you’d care to share.

And Trump got absolutely pilloried for having that troop presence at the time.

Ah yes, we’ve found the next target!

A substitute need not be identical or equivalent. What you’re describing is a commodity. Neither Apple or Android are a commodity. They are a differentiated good, but they compete in the same market and are substitutes for each other.

> Well we don't know that. In many cases the virus reproduces and spreads without any symptoms. We know that asymptomatic people who are not immune can possibly spread the virus. But that’s a slightly different question. We know t

by zaroth 6y ago
The bigger question I have is when will we be ready to confidently claim that the vaccine doesn’t just prevent symptoms but also prevents spread? (Edit: at the same or nearly the same 95% rate) I can’t see a human trial being able to show t

There is clearly something that prevents certain people (particularly kids) from contracting COVID to the point where they will not test PCR positive even if they are heavily exposed and have not had it before. I know several families in my

Who said anything about the First Amendment? To be a bit glib, we’re not talking about illegal government censorship, we’re talking about evil corporate censorship. It’s 100% perfectly legal for Apple to choose which apps it will sell on it

Can you point to the recall from this? The recall I can find is to replace 3 bolts that can corrode due to salt which would cause loss of power steering. I’m not sure what runaway power steering is?

Your analogy makes no sense? The users within Parlor are very happy to be swimming in whatever it is they are swimming in over there. It’s the water department who wants to turn off the hose. Or some strained analogy like that.

It’s not OK to describe shooting police in the head, lighting them on fire, burning down precincts, firebombing Federal courthouses, occupying city halls, and cordoning off entire city blocks with armed insurgents as “begging officials to
