> an ALLEGED dangerous serial killer was brought into court and there was only one compelling piece of evidence, but it was obtained in an extremely unlawful manner

.. then it's quite possible that the person is innocent and the evidence is wrong. After all, if someone is willing to break the law to get evidence, why wouldn't they just fabricate it?

> Briefly, in around 1999, the victim, Amy, was raped as an eight-year-old girl by her uncle. The uncle was caught and convicted. Amy received psychological counseling and the uncle was ordered to pay the cost for her treatment up to that time, a few thousand dollars. By the end of her treatment in 1999, Amy was (as reflected in her therapist’s notes) “back to normal” and engaged in age-appropriate activities such as dance. Sadly, eight years later, Amy’s condition drastically deteriorated when she learned that her child sex abuse images were widely traded on the Internet. The “Misty” series depicting Amy is one of the most widely-circulated sets of sexual abuse images (i.e., child pornography) trafficked in the world. According to her psychologist, the global trafficking of Amy’s child sex abuse images has caused “long lasting and life changing impact[s] on her.” As Amy explained in her own, personal victim impact statement, “Every day of my life I live in constant fear that someone will see my pictures and recognize me and that I will be humiliated all over again.”

A reason that some European countries use in recent laws that ban women from wearing full-face burkas/niqabs, is it stops the wearers interacting/communicating with others.

The same logic implies we should ban public wear of headphones.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_ban_on_face_covering

"The key argument supporting this proposal is that face-coverings ... [are] a social hindrance within a society which relies on facial recognition and expression in communication. ... the European Court of Human Rights upheld the French law on 1 July 2014, accepting the argument of the French government that the law was based on "a certain idea of living together.""

"The policing of online threats is hardly a new issue. The Supreme Court set a precedent last year when it ruled that prosecutors pursuing a charge of communicating threats need to prove both that reasonable people would view the statement as a threat and that the intent was to threaten. Elonis v. United States dealt with a man who had posted violent rap lyrics about his estranged wife; the court reversed his conviction."

"All cops should die" is not a credible threat and should not be viewed as one, and though "you should all die" is not an actionable criticism it certainly implies the existential critique that the black people in America have for the police, eg that they kill black people for nothing and treat them as subhuman.

Arresting people for e-threats is probably not a good use of police time considering the real problems they have, it's simply a use of intimidation and overreaction to a situation they feel like they can't control.
Because there's driving and driving. I like driving too but when you are on the highway there's nothing rewarding, it's not driving if you only drive straight. The future is to lean back and do nothing like the google car. Or Little train in road.
So true. The closest we have now to self-driving taxis is car sharing, not taxis. Everybody I know is either on no car sharing network at all (the overwhelming majority) or on all available of them at the same time, picking case by case whichever network has the closest car available. In absence of monthly charges coupled with long contact periods, network lock-in only happens with horizontal, bidirectional peer to peer networks (e.g. facebook or traditional eBay), not in a vendor/buyer model. People who happily ordered from Amazon rarely stop considering other stores, hence artificial lock-in attempts like prime.

What could give Uber/Lyft an advantage in the robotaxi age would be huge amounts of cash for the enormous investments required to blanket whole cities with cars to locally reach the critical mass of "a robotaxi is always closer than my own car would be", but I don't see how luring users with subsidized prices now would in any way help with that then.

But how do you know whether the person presented in the dock is a dangerous serial killer?

> It's fair game to have whatever facts you want in a thought experiment.

The whole point of a trial is to establish facts. In reality, we cannot ever guarantee things like this; we can only ever say how convincing the evidence is for a particular history of events.
Yes they are. Organizations like Stop the Violence have been protesting and marching for years. But these are black victims killed by black criminals in black neighborhoods so the news doesn't care and doesn't report on it.
In addition, only a few days (one or two weeks) ago we had a much commented story linked here on HN that VR is way too hyped.

No. Absolutely no. It can not ever be legal to own or distribute this kind of material. Imagine this kind of material exists of a child that you know. And it was legal for people to send this image to others, and to post it online unhindered. When the child gets older they can find this stuff of themselves and be revictimised over again.

Fuck that. You think not as much would be created if access was easier? I highly doubt that. I personally don't know anyone that keeps one or two regular porn links bookmarked - it's always onto the next thing.

This quote here bothers me greatly. Sexually normal? EVeryone but pedophiles should be disgusted by this kind of child abuse.

I loved Vine, it's a really interesting medium/format. But the userbase killed it for me. Young teenagers posting stupid clips with music edits about some boy band, TV show, or anime. I'm not interested in any of that. I liked the artsy clips, sports highlights, and comedy but it became increasingly difficult to find when using the app. I felt like an old man being somewhere he didn't belong. I still enjoy a funny Vine now and then, but I only see it when it pops up on my Twitter feed.
She* doesn't seem to have a problem with headphones per se. She's just sorting out the way that they affect how we listen to music. Read the last paragraph:

Ambling down a city street with headphones on—you know, maybe it’s dusk, maybe it’s midsummer, maybe you had a really nice day—is, without a doubt, one of life’s simplest and most perfect joys. Humans have long enjoyed secret communions with sound, and headphones allow for the development of a particularly private and tender relationship. How headphones’ sudden omnipresence might affect the ways in which musicians attempt to communicate with their audiences—how it might dictate what people require of or appreciate about songs; how it will change the way records are made and produced—is, of course, still being sorted out. It seems possible, though, that we are slowly reconfiguring music as a private pleasure—that, in fact, all pleasures, soon, may be private. We are all the lone stars of secret films, narrated by and in our own minds, and we seek out music that validates that position: separate, but forever plugged in.

It's not an approach without drawbacks or ethical grey areas, that's for sure. Going by the article that OP submitted my personal take on it is that the police made an acceptable trade-off in that instance. Had my child been abused by somebody involved in that forum in between the police's initial infiltration of it and closing it down I'm sure that my feelings would be very different.

That's an interesting case that you linked though, I'd be curious to read more details about it.
As I posted in the Tesla crash thread, the current "self driving" cars are only assisting in conditions the driver actually needs the least help, good visibility and weather conditions. Its not a safety feature yet, it is little more than an advanced cruise control.

Until they can prove a self driving car can navigate a road at night in horrible weather conditions with and without other cars then its not self driving.

If anything the current crop should be emphasizing that they can warn of bad driving habits.

- donation is done through paypal, and there is the commission linked to the service, this is unavoidable

- the three nonprofit or NGO are chosen from suggestions that receives email. Currently only three of those who have donated, have proposed an institution. Me not :)

- there is a percentage that holds the site, set at 40% because he saw that many organizations hold similar figures, not clearly declaring it but talking of generic costs, while having more revenue.

- his goal is to bring the percentage to 20% in the next 30-60 days, according to the feedback he receives and the amount of donations

If officers feel threatened, if you're aggressive, if you reach for something in your pocket, disobey them -- it certainly can turn out that way. The overwhelming majority, it may surprise you, take no pleasure in having to fire on someone. They want to go home to their families after work. I grew up in Phoenix, AZ -- I cannot step foot in South Phoenix for fear of my life. That's the truth. Their job is not to make the life of unruly and unlawful people easier, no matter what race they may be. And saying you're black as proof of something is only proof of confirmation bias.

possession and distribution of these images
should be legal

I gather the rationale for making them illegal is consumers might pay for images (or view ads) and thereby incentivise content creators to create more - i.e. perform more child abuse. And as it's not always easy to prove someone paid for the images (maybe they paid cash) making it illegal to possess the images makes people who pay easier to catch.

Of course, it might be possible to remove the creator's incentive some other way. For example, you could make piracy mandatory for such images. But "lawmakers demand sick smut sharing" probably wouldn't go down well with the press or victims' groups.

Well, I object to the policy itself in the first place. Extrajudicial executions, regardless of whether or not a popularly elected president encourages (or even orders) them, are fundamentally contrary to the rule of law and basic human rights.

Edit: Additionally, extrajudicial executions are a sign that Duterte doesn't respect the law. If he continues to encourage vigilante killings, there is precedent for him to encourage law breaking in other areas. Who's not to say there won't be electoral laws being flouted?

Tesla's spin control is backfiring. They tried to blame the driver. They're being sued by the family of the dead driver, and being investigated by the NHTSA (the recall people), and the NTSB. In comparison, when a Google self-driving car bumped a bus at 2mph, Google admitted fault, took the blame, and Urmson gave a talk at SXSW showing the data from the sensors and discussing how the self-driving car misjudged the likely behavior of the bus.

It's a hell of a lot safer for Google to take fault for in a 2mph bump into a bus than it is for a case where someone died. I'd guess Tesla will ultimately settle the lawsuits against them but if they came out and admitted 100% fault, which it likely isn't, they'd have absolutely no ground to stand on and could get financially ruined at trial.

I've suggested elsewhere that child porn should be legal to distribute in the limited case where the child has now reached the age of majority and consents to the distribution. That is, if the person being victimized is the child or their future self, once they are legally capable of waiving rights they should be allowed to retroactively do so, as they're effectively saying they don't consider it as victimizing them.

This also trivially means people can't get prosecuted for having pictures of themselves.

(I've also suggested more generally that all crimes against "victims" should be waivable by the so-called "victim", but some people have pointed out some issues with that.)
That's an interesting and compelling idea.

But that database of unencrypted copies would be the ultimate target for industrial espionage, copyright theft, and hacking. I don't think we can trust any one organization with that responsibility.

In Belgium the only reason full-face burkas and niqabs are outlawed is because you need to be recognisable. There isn't a burka prohibition but rather one against clothes/masks/... in general that can make it difficult to identify somebody.

The only exception is when it's carnival ergo the reason why it's called the carnival law here. And I assume that is also the case in most European countries.

I'm not sure what the difference is between a person who views 10,000 images but doesn't keep any, and a person who views 10,000 and keeps them.

The demand to create new images of child sexual abuse is the same; both those people want new images because that's how pornography works.
