Define a robust set of fascist indicators we can use across presidents beginning with the first and let’s see.

No discussion to be had with whatsboutism. Good luck to you too. Hopefully we get another Obama lol. FYI Jim Crow is worse than anything happening now, and if you don’t think so look in a mirror.

It’s not about the past. United States has significant institutionalized racism today. Slavery is still legal today. Go read the 13th amendment and then look the change in prison population since reconstruction… It’s a shame how brainwashed

I find this comment amusing. How is this different than any non-means tested benefit? Or would the same criticism apply? (fwiw I think this money could have been spent better elsewhere).

It’ll be interesting to see how this shakes out in the next 3 years or so.

you're assuming the growth will continue at the same rate, which is hardly a certainty

Again, not sure how that’s relevant.

Why is that relevant for this case?

I am not saying luck isn't a factor - you're missing my point which is we're compromising privacy and going further into a surveillance state, yet it's not like the actual outcomes are improving. I'm not really sure

lol why do you say that?

I mean I guess all criminals die or are caught, yes.

The police state in the article it was helpful in linking the crimes. What evidence do you have to contradict their testimony?

by websiteapi 9mo ago
It connected the two incidents per license plate readings per the article. Why do you think it wasn’t?

I disagree that his catching was inevitable. They only knew an identity yesterday. If the suspect wasn’t a coward it’s plausible they could’ve just driven away to literally any other part of the United States and then flew back to Portugal.

all of that and they basically just got lucky. the guy walked to brown from his car parked nearby and shot up some kids, waited days, went to a guy's house in Massachusetts, killed him and never even got caught - he committed suicide a

sadly flock ended up being helpful here (according to the police per the article). also interesting that it was some random homeless guy who happened to be there that blew the whole thing wide open. despite all of the surveillance...

There are legitimate things to charge for, like log retention. Rather than wholesaling charging they should have the self hosted runners implement hooks for that as well. If the ask was to have GitHub do retention when there’s the ability f

I don’t know people are so hung up on ranked choice. Approval voting is simpler to explain, doesn’t require changing ballots and can be implemented immediately. Not to mention empirically results in more moderate candidates.

I tried graphql with hasura and it was pretty neat, but it still just seemed easier to use RPC or REST.

It's strange that this software isn't actually provided by the government to begin with. Quickly checking eso.com, most of their use cases are governmental to begin with. what I don't get is the government collectively would

sure, but take furniture - is high quality furniture cheaper today than 50 years ago, normalized by inflation? from my investigation the answer is no.

my issue is once you have it in your workflow I'd be pretty latency sensitive. imagine those record-it-all apps working well. eventually you'd become pretty reliant on it. I don't want to necessarily be at the whims of the cl

I'm skeptical that anything actually is cheaper when normalized by offset wages. like sure you can buy a TV for cheaper, but isn't that just because now you have cheap labor and arbitrage? software is the main exception here. what

indeed - my main use case is those kind of "record everything" sort of setups. I'm not even super privacy conscious per se but it just feels too weird to send literally everything I'm saying all of the time to the cloud.

I get tempted to buy a couple of these, but I just feel like the amortization doesn’t make sense yet. Surely in the next few years this will be orders of magnitude cheaper.

Oh wow, a bug

The problem with this is you’re creating a dichotomy. Some apps have good content that could be consumed indefinitely, which is beyond the scope of these controls. Simplest example to point this out is if the parental controls only had thin

it's always interesting to me how our profession keeps reimplementing the same sort of thing over and over and over again. is it just inherent to the ease in which our experiments can be conducted?

You cannot be serious with this comparison.

The kids or non kids distinction is irrelevant. It’ll be clear once most of the world implements child block (which I personally disagree with). They’re gonna get decimated.
