> Its not quite the same here in the UK, although I believe we're getting there, albeit slower. But yeah, seeing those dudes dressed in battle rig with no visible badges of rank/name etc gives me the creeps.

Soldiers carry visible identification (mostly) because they are subject to the Geneva convention, but police isn't and thus doesn't, since there is no legal obligation by the state in many countries.

Even in Germany, a somewhat civil country, police generally wear their rank and name openly, except when they are deployed in Hundertschaften, where they carry no identification apart from the unit number. Obviously this makes it very difficult for people to report officers, since "that guy in dark blue riot gear with a BY 84-V on his back hit me for no reason" applies to literally a hundred people who were in roughly the same area doing roughly the same thing.

"Frost wrote the poem to tease his chronically indecisive friend, Edward Thomas, who misinterpreted the meaning and enlisted in the military shortly thereafter, only to be killed two years later in WWI."

Source: https://www.theatlantic.com/video/index/555959/robert-frost-...

--

"Asked by Richard Poirier about Thomas (in an interview conducted in 1960, i.e. fortythree years after Thomas’ death), Frost said they found fellowship in isolation and in their “instinct against belonging” to literary crowds, specifically the one centered on Ezra Pound, a devil’s name to conjure with in 1960. This included, which is a fact of relevance here, T.E. Hulme, about whom Frost was carefully, cagily, discreet [Poirier et al 876; the passage is quoted in Orr, 153-54]. We know also from letters in the early-1920s that Frost was ambivalent about Siegfried Sassoon – Louis Untermeyer, for example, irritated him by his lauding of Sassoon and dispraise of Thomas. Hulme and Sassoon were of the Tory landowner type Frost considered the worst of Englishmen, but both displayed unusual bravery. In Sassoon this was linked very publicly with his determination to give the lie to traditional structures of English authority. This was another world Thomas, an inveterate tracer of the lines and demarcations of rural England, haunted the margins of; these were standards by which he could feel himself judged and Frost likely could not help but judge him. To make a decision like Thomas’ decision to enlist is to ‘prove’ in a double sense: to elect to undergo trials in which one’s metal will be tested; and to assert an identity that, the trial not undertaken, will continue to be frayed by self-recrimination and regret. After Thomas’ death Frost, grieving, denied that he had had a hand in it. I believe he was being disingenuous, albeit in circumstances that make me not want to press the case further than I have pressed it here."

Germany adopted the Apple/Google framework, which is exactly what an Apple/Google app would use. The whole point of the design is that it’s decentralized and you wouldn’t be giving Apple/Google more information.

You speak of health concerns down the road, but I have concerns over the health of my soul right now. I do not want to get to old age and realize that I've just been doing pointless shit for money my whole life, just to stay safe, meanwhile building someone's stupid dream instead of my good dream.

Where are those advertising campaigns I worked on so hard, putting in extra hours to hit the arbitrary deadlines? Gone, forever forgotten.

Where is that loan lifecycle management application I put so much effort into? How has it helped the world? It hasn't. I helped someone else funnel money into financial instruments.

When someone asks me what I did with my life, will I say that I helped a brand sell more product? That I did very thorough testing of ad delivery components to ensure that the tracking was reliable? That I helped increase conversions by 30% by optimizing the UI?

I don't think getting more help with health issues down the road is a worthwhile tradeoff for all this. It sounds like fear-guided. Yet medical industry cannot help with most situations when body is already damaged. They can only help with symptoms, and often poorly. Having seen relatives through it, I would like to avoid it as much as possible.

Many health issues are developed from not enough sleep, over-work, and over-stress. I believe that if I am careful, I can actually live longer AND better by not sacrificing my health for jobwork. I really like that quote by IIRC His Holiness the Dalai Lama, which goes like this: people trade their health for money, then try to use money to get their health back. I don't want to live that life.

It's nice to have enough time for a party or two, it's unhealthy to not go to one occasionally, IMO.

People put up with it for the same reason they always put up with this kind of stuff: they're given a bigger enemy to focus on, one that is or much worse and people are never let to forget that. Of course by comparison it looks like you actually have it good. And you slowly forget, or ignore, that you have it "good by comparison" but you also have it worse year after year.

The other thing is that not everyone gets to suffer. Under any form of government the ones that are on the leadership's "good side" will benefit or simply not suffer obviously. The others get to suffer. In democracy this might be the "dictatorship of the majority", and if that majority doesn't care enough to vote for fixing the country's problems instead of their individual problems, or is complacent with the current situation based on the above "doesn't suffer obviously" then by the time they do somebody already consolidated power or subverted that democratic process. Or perhaps some of the people just shifted to the minority and get to see that side.

It's hard for people to see the real problems as long as their interests temporarily align with their leadership's.

Just like the famous "First they came ..." quote. The person who uttered it got to live through this transition from being on the good side of the leadership, seeing his own interest, to the less pleasant side seeing too late what it was for the others.
You inserted a lot of qualifiers in your characterization of the protesters.

- terrorizing

- while having committed no crimes

- only exercised their first amendment rights

I haven't seen the evidence for or against those - I'm not sure how you know in each of those cases what actually happened either.

I do think the unmarked arrests should stop though
Did you mean "etc" to include maintenance, principle payments, and transaction costs?

I see a surveillance system that has demonstrated no value to me, presented in a very short time by parties who rarely-if-ever cooperate, with no end date for the system's removal. It doesn't pass my sniff test, I don't like it, and I don't need anyone to tell me I'm allowed to think that way :)
I’m looking for a statement by the NRA condemning what’s happening, reminding people that this kind of government oppression is what the 2A is all about and that regardless of your political views we should stand united in our willingness to bear arms against this incursion into our freedoms.

I haven’t found it yet. Lots of stuff about demonic Democrats stripping freedoms though. Strange.
Wow that title is horrible, it actually makes you think the opposite of the article. I thought they were arguing for monoliths

Im profesional programming, the front end often matters more than the backend in that it is the part stakeholders see and understand. It’s not for technical reasons.

I think the reason people who feel are too good for front end work or that the UX doesnt matter is because they have a poor sense of aesthetics and business, they are ideologues who probably dress poorly. For example, the person hating on front end work in the article is a conference speaker, I haven’t met anyone with a real job in the industry who thinks JS is a toy language since the early 2010s, before SPAs were a thing, and even then it wasn’t hating on the front-end, it was hating on the quality of the JS ecosystem itself. If you really think the front-end doesnt matter then why should you care what your code looks like? Feel free to write it as messy as you want, doesn’t matter as long as it works, right? Stop refactoring, stop giving your variables meaningful names, stop using classes, and so on. These are all presentational.

By the way, I actually think that technically dividing the front-end from the backend, as in having them live in different repos and so on, is actually a best practice.
The whole reason for Apple-Google getting involved in the first place was a technical issue that prevents Android from seeing iOS. Instead of solving that issue to allow a variety of solutions to be developed, they forced the entire world to create the apps in a certain way.

It's not that their privacy-centric approach was wrong (although this article details its major shortcomings), but the suppression of trial & error definitely was wrong.

Compounding this was Google-Apple's insistence that only government bodies can release exposure notification apps and you have a total absence of real innovation. It's no surprise that nothing has succeeded.

The whole debacle is a case study in the effect of gatekeepers on innovation. As manual contract tracing teams here in the US become overwhelmed, how many lives could have been saved by a successful exposure notification app?
What if you were detained while walking next to a federal courthouse ?
The privacy concerns were addressed in the design of the frameworks.
I think the individual apps on top of the same framework are not identical in the way the data is collected and stored. AFAIK in some countries they have a centralized database, whereas e.g. in Germany all contact IDs are kept locally and only compared to a published (but anonymized) list of infected IDs.
> . When the US decides to do something together, especially in the modern era, we do it incredibly well mostly without sacrificing human rights

As long as you don’t consider the scary brown-skinned people of the moment “human”, you might be able to say that with a straight face, but, no, even in the modern era, the US has fairly regularly enthusiastically violated people's rights, at home and abroad (often subverting institutions designed to protect rights in other countries for short-term gain as part of the latter) as broadly supported long-term policy.

There's this quiz on the web where you're given a dozen names and have to guess if they are the names of My Little Ponies or porn stars. In that vein, here's another quiz:

Story 1: In the late evening hours, the sound of sporadic gunfire was heard all over the city. There were many white vans driving around the streets searching for people. During one incident, plainclothes police jumped out of a sliding door, grabbed a civilian and then sped off.

Story 2: They had barely made it half a block when an unmarked minivan pulled up in front of them. "I see guys in camo. Four or five of them pop out, open the door and it was just like, 'Oh s*. I don't know who you are or what you want with us.'" Law enforcement officers have been using unmarked vehicles to drive around and detain protesters since at least Tuesday. Personal accounts and multiple videos posted online show the officers driving up to people, detaining individuals with no explanation about why they are being arrested, and driving off.

Now here's the quiz part: which of these describes Tiananmen Square and which describes Portland, OR?

I don't know. It could be traumatizing to kill someone in a rather unspectacular car crash just because they weren't using their seatbelt. Same for helmets.
This made me laugh quite a bit. Nor sure why, probably the fact that the solution is an enterprised theme - I can't even imagine what that looks like.

There is no "secret police force".

"Homeland Security" is a umbrella grouping of organizations that were independent pre-9/11 and who were combined after 9/11. Seemed like a good idea, at the time!8-))

When you're arrested you're arrested by someone from a particular agency: a Secret Service agent, a member of the U.S. Customs and Border Protection, the Federal Protective Service, the USDA, INS, etc. Creation of DHS "merely" brought 22 agencies under one umbrella for coordination. Of course, judgments and plans made in haste often age poorly.

I'm not saying DHS is a good thing but there's a better explanation than the alarmist "HS was destined to become a secret police force." See

"Break Up the Department of Homeland Security":

https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2020/07/department-homel...

It has to be policy. If they only had aggregate data, they couldn't do the whole timeline thing.

This arguments applies to the criminalization of possession and use, not manufacture and distribution.
if i remember the article correctly:

- no unstructured free time

- always in groups that are not just your friends

- always supervised

If your interests are aligned and you fit in with the average teens it might be great. If you need structure in your life to stay on track maybe too. But want to find yourself, becoming an independent adult and have nerdy interests it's probably hell.

I'm glad I built tree houses, skipped a night of sleep and cycled in to the sunrise, learned to program and do art (both as an auto-didactic. nothing I'm proud of, but certainly something that suits me so much better than fixed-learning-speed group courses. By definition those are too fast for half, to slow for the rest or to slow for everyone but the slowest). Of course I came across a joint, alcoholics and other broken people while doing so, but that's alright, too.

You’d have to have a pretty sophisticated setup to do so, considering the identifiers are randomly changing all the time. It would be far easier to use the existing identifying cell tower data that already exists. Your paranoia isn’t justified IMHO.
There are also problems with meritocracy as the end goal, it's a subtype type of elitism. Measures designed to combat inequality can be at odds with meritocracy.

> fried his brains from LSD

This, too, is an armchair diagnosis and unnecessarily sensational language. According to Wikipedia:

> Asked if Barrett may have had Asperger's syndrome, his sister Rosemary Breen said that he and his siblings were "all on the spectrum".

> Waters maintains that Barrett suffered "without a doubt" from schizophrenia. In an article published in 2006, Gilmour was quoted as saying: "In my opinion, his nervous breakdown would have happened anyway. It was a deep-rooted thing. But I'll say the psychedelic experience might well have acted as a catalyst. Still, I just don't think he could deal with the vision of success and all the things that went with it."
Trump's impeachment? No, he was impeached by the House of Representatives. He just wasn't convicted by the Senate and removed from office--perhaps that's what you consider a failure, though.
> See that sounds good but that applies to everything anyone does right now. If you leave your home at all at this point you're making the choice that whatever you doing carries a risk of harming yourself and others.

It's a poor comparison: the risk of transmission when gathering huge numbers of humans together is exponentially higher than leaving your home to buy groceries.

Have you seen the fly-by drone footage of Hollywood Blvd on July 7th of the BLM protests [1]? It was outrageously reckless and not just to the lives of the people who took part.

protectionist - made in America;
anti-Communist - move to anywhere but not C countries (like Soviet Union era, kind of Cold War)

Now if it is protectionist, the jobs would NOT go to India but instead ship it from USA (practicality aside but theoretically that is what protectionist meant). Instead, it is Indian/Brazil protectionist plus anti-Communist that is the game here. China is a clear and present threat.
News is stimulus. All you're describing is a habit you've formed, and a stimulus you respond to.

When we're 'addicted' to anything, it's just us abusing our individual coping mechanisms.

The answer, like in all other aspects of life, is to take steps to form the habits you want, and steps to discard the habits you don't want.

There may be giant protests, but Americans continue to elect leaders that refuse to serve their interests.
I understood the OP to be talking about individual enthusiasts of the constitutional amendment, not the republican lobbying organization—my apologies if I had that wrong.
You say "even" as if two powerful leaders that helped catalyze enormous changes in society resulting in a fundamental shift in who has power and autonomy would somehow be less likely to have ruthless enemies. Those are the folks who if anything are more at risk of being killed by powerful enemies than a druglord since MLK, Gandhi, Lincoln etc had enemies motivated by pure ideology (white supremacy, hindu supremacy, white supremacy) while drug lords'enemies are motivated by money. I'd be a lot more worried about the former.
> Local television stations owned by the Sinclair Broadcast Group are set to air a conspiracy theory over the weekend that suggests Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation's top expert on infectious diseases, was responsible for the creation of the coronavirus.

> Sinclair Broadcast Group, Inc. (SBG) is a publicly traded American telecommunications conglomerate which is controlled by the family of company founder Julian Sinclair Smith. Headquartered in the Baltimore suburb of Hunt Valley, Maryland, the company is the second-largest television station operator in the United States by number of stations (after Nexstar Media Group), owning or operating a total of 193 stations across the country in over 100 markets (covering 40% of American households), many of which are located in the South and Midwest, and is the largest owner of stations affiliated with Fox, ABC, and The CW.

My friend who is a pharmaceutical chemist said LSD is actually quite difficult to make, compared to other illicit drugs:

- Lysergic acid is a relatively fragile molecule and will fall apart if exposed to harsh reaction conditions. Compare that to say methamphetamine which can survive strong acids/bases.

- It’s also light sensitive, so you need to protect from light which is why you see the red light setup in LSD labs

- Purification is challenging as well.
