Sure, but they're in the business of selling as many phones as possible which means getting you to upgrade every so often. Unless they settle on a business model that allows them to make money from your old phone, I see this continuing.
That's not true at all? Their selling point is also that they have end-to-end encryption that they can't breach - so your emails can't be grabbed by a government actor.
These are massive companies with revenue in the billions of dollars. If this was regulated, they would figure it out. Frankly, in a lot of cases, it's their own fault that phones aren't updated anymore, not because of any inherent difficulties. If a handful of volunteers can push the latest Lineageos to 7 year odl devices, then Samsung can too. It's just that they have no financial incentive to do so and there are no regulations forcing them to implement what's necessary for long-term support.

According to MSN [1], the DEA decided last week to give him his money back.

They kept the money for 200 days, in violation of the Federal statute requiring the DEA to file a case within 90 days. It's unclear what, if any, repercussions there will be for the DEA for violating the law. Astoundingly, the Nevada Highway Patrol did not violate the law. That only means, of course, it's a terrible law and needs to be eliminated. Hopefully there will be some consequences for police that abuse this bad law, but that will have to come from local voters.

Note that $87k in 100's is a stack about 4" thick. It sickens me to hear people blaming the victim for the non-crime of holding his own cash, with bank receipts, and for the non-crime of simply telling the officer the truth and being totally cooperative. The lesson here is clear: do not cooperate with the police. They are not your friend, they are not trustworthy, and they will hurt you, badly, and suffer no consequences.

You’re correct, but “has created” is the present perfect. The past perfect would be “had created”. And those terms apply to the full construction including the auxiliary verb. “Created” is the past participle (identical to the past tense conjugation, as is often the case in English).

Kinda. Many Americans run around with a notion of some kind of noble entrepreneur who provides the bounty of endless choice in consumer goods, even if it's a corporation. The fact that many different brands come from the same factory tends to be overlooked. Americans are also unique in their tolerance for constant advertising where other cultures would consider it gauche and intrusive.

TikTok is imo goddamn scary. It is explicitly set up to hook people with gamification techniques, showering likes on new users so they come back for more. Only the subject matter is often politics, activism and intertribal warfare.

Indeed. And plenty of frozen options too, if that's your preference.

People underrate canned veggies in regards to healthy eating. They're really not bad at all from a health perspective, and can often taste very fresh.

Pineapples, pears, peaches are great canned. Artichoke, corn, beans, string beans, spinach, and tomatoes are also good canned products in my experience.

I'm not hating on fresh: big leafy Romaine Lettuce is best fresh, as are onions. But certain foods hold really well in a can, and its extremely convenient to mix-and-match storage strategies. (Ex: Use that Romaine Lettuce for salads this week, and canned corn next week)
From the manual(:h tab-page-intro): "Tabs are also a nice way to edit a buffer temporarily without changing the
current window layout. Open a new tab page, do whatever you want to do and close the tab page."

Therefore a built-in alternative is `:tabe %` to open the current file in a new tab, and `:tabc` to return to your elaborate multi-window view.

Edit: Not that I'm plugin averse, quite the opposite. Just offering an option from built-in functionality.
It's pretty clear that the NSA is in a tough spot. They collected his communications, as they do with everyone. Then, there are multiple options for how this played out.

The common straw man argument put forth is that he was communicating with a person who was under investigation by the NSA, and his name was unmasked. This narrative let's the NSA off the hook. As for why he was unmasked, that would be a political abuse, perhaps.

What I consider more likely is an abuse by a third party which allows the NSA to make blanket denials.

The FBI is a likely culprit.

"“These opinions reveal devastating problems with the FBI’s backdoor searches, which often resembled fishing expeditions through Americans’ personal emails and online messages,” said Patrick Toomey, a staff attorney for the American Civil Liberties Union’s National Security Project. “But the court did not go nearly far enough to fix those abuses. The Constitution requires FBI agents to get a warrant before they go combing through our sensitive communications.”"

https://theintercept.com/2019/10/10/fbi-nsa-mass-surveillanc...

To me, this reeks of a gigantic scandal. The more the press frames this story as NSA vs Tucker, and then takes the NSA's side, the more I believe they understand the gravity of the situation and are covering for a third party.

Eventually this will break wide open.

You wouldn’t notice, but many millions of people would. This is pretty established economic theory of supply and demand curves. Are you arguing that increasing prices doesn’t decrease demand?

Why do you think companies don’t just raise prices by $1, since jimmaswell won’t even notice it or care?

I’ve never heard that increasing minimum wage will be the end of small business, I’ve just heard that it will be incrementally harder to put those wages and number of jobs at the low end of the wage increase will go down. (And that’s what happens) Again, that’s a supply and demand thing.

Are you arguing that prices don’t have an impact on purchases? Again, how do you explain companies just increasing prices arbitrarily? What do you think stops them from doing this?
That certainly puts a different light on how I was looking at the topic.

Nope, they drop support when the community runs into issues with a particular model that it's impractical to fix. Upstream vendor support helps but is not required in any way.

Device tree "doesn't cover everything" because some device components are yet to be supported in the mainline kernel. Once mainline support is added, that enables a 'universal' kernel to provide that support via the device tree.

What I said is "There are far better examples of abusive civil forfeiture than this one."

The adjective "abusive" applies to the noun "civil forfeiture." The adjective "better" applies to the noun "examples." This is how standard English syntax works. Adjectives are taken as applying to the nearest noun following them.

> don't all citizens have the same rights?

For legal cases, a drug runner having her cash unconstitutionally seized is a winner. The defendant is not sympathetic. But as you say, she has her rights that the court should recognise.

It is unclear, however, if civil asset forfeiture is unconstitutional. (“Unreasonable” is a big word.) That would make it a legislative question.

In politics, sympathy matters. Guilty people having their rights violated doesn’t tend to rouse the majority. That’s where someone who can cut through to a Blue Lives Matter activist carries merit.
Oi vey.

Well, I just read that, and that's 5 minutes of my life I won't get back.

To save you time the article asserts:

Resistance to utilizing state power mandate vaccination, and politician's encouragement of distrust of the legitimacy of the bureaucratic state, is viewed to be a reactionary shift back toward a paradigm where politics is shifting to be more about the holder of office than the office itself.

The article does not at all touch on such thorny topics as:

A) the precedent set by expanding public health mandates beyond what people are willing to volunteer for, and the erosion of State legitimacy that the enforcement of such measures would result in

B) the problem of powerful State bureaucracies being run by people that can increasingly coordinate to do significant damage in a short period of time. The age of Abraham Lincoln's famous "No man can do much damage in four years" is long dead.

C) The increasingly damaged relationship of for profit media with the common citizen, and weaponization of editorial discretion. See the ivermectin debacle where even the hospital claimed to be overrun has had to come out and correct the media due to not enough boots on the ground verification or willful pushing to create a story. On the other side of the coin is lack of coverage on politically inconvenient person's like Julian Assange.

D) repeated examples of public official's regular breaching of the public trust, to no or little consequence. (broad daylight insider trading by Congress, ramming through of an approval for dubious Alzheimer's drugs etc...)

E) The continued unreasonable political efficacy of the .01% in escaping any accountability for acts of blatant corruption, and the overarching stain that leaves on the fairness and legitimacy of the system. (See the grant of immunity to the Sackler's for their role in the opioid crisis)

If you're going to try to sell everyone on big government good, return to small government bad, I at least expect a bit more homework to be done than was actually demonstrated by this article, but that's just me.

But cameras aren't perfect pinholes though. The center of the sensor and the optical axis of the lens are already not perfectly aligned, and the sensor is not necessarily perpendicular to the lens barrel. These distortions might be larger than any change of size due to an object being in the periphery of the field of view, especially for longer focal length where the rays are more parallel.

The perceptual differences between different energy sources are one thing, but in the end energy is energy. Take a perfectly healthy and balanced diet without weight gain or weight loss, then add just 100 calories per day of extra protein and you will gain weight.

An interesting take on this issue is employing staff where color matters. As the head of a department involved in electronics I used to have to employ staff who had to be able to read the resistor color code and for that they needed good color vision.

During interviews one of the evaluative measures was to give applicants a card with a careful selection of numbered resistors taped to it and they had to tell the interviewing panel their resistance.

Given that figure of ~8% of males with color blindness we often found applicants that were color blind (most applicants were male). To avoid the many pitfalls of doing this, which could involve an applicant first discovering that he was color blind during the interview, we required them to write the resistance of the resistor against its number on a sheet of paper and hand it to us (e.g.: resistor #8 was say 470 ohms - we only needed the numerical value and not the actual colors (which for this example are yellow violet brown)).

The sheet was handed along the panel - all of whom were conversant with the color code - in a nonchalant manner without comment (we did not tell applicants whether their answers were right or wrong).

Doing it this way avoided us having to use Ishihara color blindness test cards which could be deemed an on-the-fly medical test and that had complicating implications.

Of course, experienced applicants who knew the color code by second nature would often ask if they could just verbally run down the list and we let them do that.

Yeah, I cited the white HN craigslist car buyer as a kind of 'it can happen to even us!!'abberation. Probably 99% of civil forfeitures are seized from black/hispanic people.

E.g., yes, "those they (police) think they can get away with" but not "those who have a lot of assets to forfeit".

I think most of the cases I've read about on this site were like (non-white) people flying with, say, $25,000 (and who could credibly claim that was roughly their total liquid net worth).

Our social housing stock is already intended to be mixed (although the balance is often not great). You'll often find social and non-social housing units in the same apartment building, and definitely in every neighbourhood there will be a mix. I agree and think that mix is super important. But achieving it by giving rich people subsidised housing when there are poor people on a waiting list for these units, is one of the least optimal solutions, compared to alternatives.

Efficiency isn’t that important. An extra 100 calories per day of protein, fat, or carbs is largely interchangeable assuming an otherwise balanced diet. In other words if your in a balanced diet with 33% of each and you add 100 calories of any of them you will gain weight.
Two important things:

1) We're talking about Protonmail cooperating with a random foreign police (via request from their local police) without any form of judicial oversight. As a hosting provider with big money like Protonmail, the only fair thing to go is to go to court to have a judge examine the legality of the request in detail (not just as a friendly police request) before you collaborate at all with them.

2) We're talking about a bunch of anti-gentrification activists who requisitionned/squatted empty buildings to house homeless people and serve food for the neighborhood. Those buildings were owned by a landowning mafia which, as you can see, has long-reaching arms: when was the last time you heard of Europol/Interpol being involved in the repression of a squat that lasted a few months? This is a clear case of political repression, not any ordinary criminal case.

Have you ever looked into how many children are hospitalized for the Flu?

https://www.cdc.gov/flu/highrisk/children.htm#danger

> CDC estimates that from the 2010-2011 season to the 2019-2020 season, flu-related hospitalizations among children younger than 5 years old have ranged from 7,000 to 26,000 in the United States.

This risk, by the way, may also be higher than people want to admit. I think it's nuts how many schools don't require the annual flu vaccine, not to mention how few Americans get said vaccine in general. That said, the very real risk of the flu—which can also cause long-term complications—does not cause us to all upend our lives, nor should it.
