And? This is only "unfair" if you assume that people should be taxed as a percentage of their income, but by moving to consumption taxes we discard that assumption.

Your conclusion is entirely unfounded. Returning the same result for the same input does not in any way refute the claim that it's random. It could just as well seed the RNG with the input or any number of other implementations.

Indeed, this is "guilty even when proved innocent".

> This is obviously not acceptable in a society that considers itself "free speech". It's free from legal consequences but when you shut opinions down due to "other consequences" you end up with the same result.

Those aren't products. Google's main products are advertising and user data. They can't be monopolists in markets they're not even participating in.

I have been assured by innumerable statists that the government invented the internet. But I'm not sure in what market exactly Google is a monopoly? I'm pretty sure there are plenty of advertising and big data companies doing just

And to top it all off, they demanded a protection fee in cash and goods (the device) in order to stop the illegal hacking.

You're right; they're not all conspirators. However, as a non-expert I feel there is a good argument that there's probable cause that each account has evidence of the conspiracy.

But when you request the records of 1.3 million conspirators to riot and commit other terrorist acts, in order to find the 200 who actually did, that's quite reasonable. The stated goal of the website was terrorism (shutting down bridg

It's a website created for the sole purpose of promoting terrorist acts at a certain time and place. I think that's enough to say that every individual user account is suspect. I consistently reject government overreach but this i

> they will find ways to circumvent any AI model Not so; there's an easy and reasonable (/s) solution to the problem: only permit pre-approved speech. This can be done through AI and it will be difficult to circumvent.

However, a significant (not large , significant ) proportion of Americans believe that the phrase "kill all the Nazis" is not hate because <reasons>, or at least is "justified hate", whatever that means.

The title of this HN post should mention that this is ZFSonLinux. This is good news, but I'll definitely want to wait a good long while before enabling this in production. Yes, officially zfs isn't good enough to use in producti

Could this not have been fixed by prefixing the '--' argument on the command line, and requiring that all ssh implementations must implement that in order to be compatible? Seriously, why are we still dealing with what amounts to

Buzzfeed has a lot of good journalism, apparently. I never go to their site and seek it out, but when it's linked it's very good like this piece. It shouldn't be so surprising; if CNN and NYT can fill their sites with clickba

I wonder - did they take steps to replenish the cave's oxygen? If not, it's useless for the next person... I guess this is kind of silly and naive, but it's what I would do.

Condointernet got acquired by Wave (branded Wave G); then they fired most of the condointernet staff it seems. Wave recently got acquired themselves so we'll see how much worse it gets.
