> The police can't just tell people what to do.

Well, to be clear: they can. Courts have given police very wide latitude on what they're allowed to compel from the public in the execution of their duties. This is sort of the problem.

That said, your second point is really the meat here. Faced with civilians refusing their orders, it is not appropriate for the police to resort to any and all means to compel obediance. No one thinks it is. Especially conservatives, under normal circumstances (who, it seems, are a little confused right now).

I mean... most of the same people who two weeks ago were all "You can't tell I'm supposed to stay at home, that's tyranny!" are now all of a sudden all "You can't stay in that park if the president wants to be there! You should be tear gassed![1]"

[1] Excuse me: "pepper balls", which is totally not the same thing because it disperses a fine suspended powder and never enters a gas phase.
It seems a bit charitable to say that the series of tubes has a point? I'm sure you can also attach a point to a random set set of words.

The context makes it even more damning.

There you go. The Australian Prime Minister is calling for investigation into why police attacked an Australian news crew.

There are literally hundreds of video's like that out there.
> No its the landowners who can hold them over the barrel for their highest overhead: rent. And those same landowners are able to do that because they have enough wealth to wait on the next person who will initially pay the high rent.

Yes and no. There are landowners with a lot of wealth. The majority of landowners have less wealth (and will always have less wealth) than a typical FAANG engineer.

I started looking heavily into real estate last year and got to meet many of these people. The average commercial plaza in most cities? Not owned by a wealthy person - and indeed some of the business owners on the plaza are wealthier. A lot of these owners don't make enough out of it to make a living and still have a full time job.

They do it because it's passive income - almost no effort. Plaza owners typically don't pay for any maintenance. They don't pay property taxes. All this is passed on to the businesses in exchange for relatively low rents. As long as he collects enough rent to pay the loan, and has some extra left over, he's happy. It's free money.

(And 90-99% of land owners don't own the property free and clear. The majority of them owe more than half the value to some bank or other. That should tell you who really is making the money).

How to Learn – Pretty Much Anything (2019) [video]
I agree. We clearly have a dramatic difference of opinion about when it is a good time to pepper spray someone. I suppose the police officer in the video shares your opinion, and the authors of the document share mine.
Being a cop is exceedingly safer than many professions where we don't bend the standard of protecting human life like we do for cops. About the same amount of lumberjacks die in the US during work as police. About the same number of toddlers kill themselves with guns every year as police die in the line of duty.

Part of the duty of a police officer is to put themselves in higher-danger situations than other citizens in order to protect and serve the public, up to and including taking physical harm or death (in fact half of police fatalities every year are in car accidents on duty).

If you train to be a hair trigger, protect-yourself-at-all-costs cop, that's how you will behave.
Wat? T-Mobile wants US$35 (incl taxes!) for a much better plan. Includes Netflix even. And they only start throttling at 50gb.

The Canadian networks are “better” because every Canadian rations their usage. I’d wager that Canadian networks are wayyyy underprovisioned compared to even the crappiest US network.

That's messing with the taxes. That's the most dangerous kind of enterprise.

This was a good video! I'd never seen Scalia speak, and he's very compelling - I think he would have been a good teacher. Unfortunately, while the gridlock between senate and house is good at stopping progress benefitting the vulnerable, it has been less successful in stopping "progress" benefitting moneyed interests. This is perhaps because the jobs of both house and senate representatives depend so much on securing funding for their next campaign. Or maybe it's simply because most legislators personally benefit from such legislation, being moneyed themselves. Whatever the cause, the result resembles an oligarchy.

State politics too bud, Democrat governors and Congress dominated the south until the 90s. And you had ex-klansman Senator Byrd of West Virginia serving in Congress until 2010. Sorry, in early-mid 90s was when south started to go heavily Republican. Do your homework.

You can't cherry pick one election. Goldwater won 5 or 6 states. He didn't even win the whole south, as Jimmy Carter did in 1976. Reagan won 49 states in 1984. Does that mean the "southern strategy" worked on everyone? Or was he just a popular politician and personality, as Johnson was?
The 'crazies' seem to do an okay job sharing the reality they perceive. Don't limit yourself with a belief that only one viewpoint on a given topic is The One Truth™. A person's sincere belief in something is what that makes that thing true.
Ask HN: When is it time to give up on a side project SaaS?
I started a SaaS business official in May 2019. (Although I spent about 8 months developing the application). I didn't officially acquire my first customer until May 2019. Fast forward to May 2020, and I've got about 8 paying customers. I'm really proud and impressed by this accomplishment.

Growth is, however, slow. I have a good understanding of who my target customer is now, 1 year later, after talking to them and noticing common patterns in terms of their needs.

This is my first real business. I would really love to hear from someone experienced in building a SaaS business from scratch. Your insight would be appreciated. What should I expect in terms of growth? How fast did businesses grow in the beginning (BaseCamp, for example, Digital Ocean, MailChimp)?

Thanks
I know people in the industry, and hemp with significant amounts of THC commonly occurs. Unless people in the past were selecting for low THC on purpose, it's likely that THC content in hemp fluctuated and was significant enough to smoke.

I've also purchased hemp for the purposes of consuming CBD, and it got me high.
> The thing I don't get was that in the late 80s and 90s activism and tech/hacking oriented people were pretty much one and the same, namely Cypherpunks. Specifically in the Valley!

Alot of those folks were co-opted… at least according to folks like Bill Blunden (belowgotham.com) and John Young (cryptome.org)

If you stop paying people to write, the only people who write are those who can afford the time. Writing a novel can take years of your life. Books are not fungible, and some books you would want to read will never get written if the author cannot afford to write it.

I don't think people are protesting against lockdown orders per se, but it's hard deny that the protests are getting huge crowds because people are (1) incredibly bored, and (2) have no job or school to go to instead.

(Not to deny the sentiment or validity of the protests -- maybe in an ideal world, the protestors would have gone otherwise, but IRL, would have been tired, bogged down in work or school, or otherwise distracted with life. Which currently doesn't exist).
Through census and immigration records, it looks like every branch of my family tree came over between 1890 and 1910.

Thing is, only one of those branches was even well-known among my family, the others are all lost history. Out of curiosity I've asked some friends and co-workers and several have said similar things - they don't know when their ancestors immigrated, their personal family history just doesn't go back that far.
AFAIK there has not been serious technical evidence for backdoors in Huawei products.

I totally agree with the argument that national state should own and control their own infrastructure. But I don't think it actually serves them to use exaggerated claims.
And some were in the crowd and others were apart of crowd. No, they were not randomly stumbled upon nor are these cases of being randomly hit while police attacks indiscriminately. Through such cases exists too.

For me, it's the fact that police stood on some guys neck while he begged them to stop because he couldn't breathe.

Those sorts of things make me cranky. I suspect other people might feel the same way. Especially seeing as it's only the latest in a string of deaths like this.
‘Google’s policies forbid Android apps that help people to delete or disable other apps.’

This is why you root or jailbreak your phone, and it is why such functionality should be first-party supported. You should be able to install or uninstall any software or firmware you want on your own hardware.

‘Google intervened on Tuesday after millions of Indians rushed to download a service that promised to help them rid their smartphones of Chinese apps.

‘Remove China Apps, from the Indian developer OneTouch AppLabs, was downloaded 4.7m times in India between May 27 and June 1, according to Sensor Tower data.

‘The app was briefly the most popular on India’s Google Play Store before the Silicon Valley company removed it on Tuesday, according to App Annie, another app data provider. Google’s policies forbid Android apps that help people to delete or disable other apps.’
OK, but can we acknowledge that the fact we need to frame police as "lions" as disturbing? Not to be too provocative here, but the protest are happening because this analogy fits a little too well.
Took me a minute to realize you meant Law Enforcement and not Lawful Evil here. I guess in this case it's the same.
It started flipping in the 1960s, but Southern Democrats hung on to most southern state governments, and many House & Senate seats, until the 1990s. Richard Shelby (a conservative Alabama Senator) only switched parties in 1994, for example.
Police and their constant overreacting is the entire point of protests fyi.
