My biological grandfather live in deep West Virginia. They do have rifles (shotguns rather i think) but they "hunt" with traps. There is a lot of deer there, and from what i heard their group were never great hunters, way better riders than hunters at least, and it was always easier for them to kill a trapped deer than shoot at it (and also the risk of shooting on someone you know, it was a small back-to-lander community). Nowadays they don't need the meat anymore (and they don't ride horses either, old age catching up), but they still use traps sometime.

I think the rationnal was also to be a lot less subject to snake attacks. You had to got hunt with a dog to avoid those, and even then it wasn't foolproof. And there was no road access until the late 90s, making moving without horses (who didn't fare that well with dogs) inconvenient at best.
Just to chime in here and maybe help explain some of the more snarky responses...

If I were in your shoes, I wouldn't expect one, and if one ever does get published, be suspicious of it. VERY suspicious. Because it's likely missing critical information and/or some portion is likely fictitious to some degree. I mean, this is a company that can't even update its own system status dashboard truthfully, so don't expect any degree of honesty or accountability here.
>Concentrations of lead more than 100 times this limit have been detected in the meat of lead-shot carcasses as far as six inches from the entry wound.

In which direction? Was there any indication of damage? Did they only measure from the round bullet entry?

The statement provides no additional details. The entry wound is often small, about the size of the projectile. While the damage after entry is greater and often identifiable. It is important to follow the projectiles through the game.
Sorry, but I haven't seen any evidence for a "crime wave" in 2020-2021. FBI stats show a slight uptick in violent crimes. These rates haven't been seen since... gasp ... 2017.

If police-civilian interactions really decreased 80% (as quoted in the article), and in exchange violent crime only raised 5.6% [0], personally that shows even dramatic reductions in police presence don't lead to complete "anarchy".

I fear, given the increasing discussion around this crime """wave""", that some disastrous "tough on crime" policies are going to be (re)introduced in the coming years.

I believe it's a reaction to police forces now having military gear when it should be totally unnecessary. In many places police officers don't even need guns.

Maybe spending less money in militaria and more in training would be a consequence of not having to fund military equipment, supplies, and maintenance. It'd, at least, limit the violent options police has when they are going to engage a suspect.
I use tailwind with Angular, and we solve this with using [ngClass] to add/remove the class. You could do something similar with plain JS as well, and I imagine in most frameworks. Although yes, that is annoying to have to deal with.
Right. And the political process being what it is, it sounds great that you need to have pull with the city council or county government to do what you'd like with your property.

I'm sure we all look forward to a world in which buying hookers for the Mayor's son and keeping it all on the DL, or contributing to a few Town Selectmen's "nonprofits" is what you have to do to in order to inject a half-acre of greenery into an otherwise desolate dystopian concrete hellscape.

Good question. My vague understanding is that antibodies react to the external shape of the virus, the spike and so on. Whereas T-cells react to the little chunks of rna produced during multiplication of the virus, kindof the byprodyucts of a virus-factory-cell, and as such are not restricted to the 'outside' of the virus but can potentially learn about any part of the virus' genome. Hence T-cells are less likely to be thrown off by spike mutations. But my grasp on this is very vague.

For reference: [1] shows the currently-free RECAP ("PACER" spelled backwards) listing for the Elizabeth Holmes / Theranos trial.

The way this works is: you install a Chrome extension which automatically uploads anything you get from PACER into a free archive.

How are they funded? I expect they're a 501(c)(3). So it's not a question of whether PACER can be free; it already is, partially.

As for patents: Google used to host all the patent files for free, and then someone complained that that gave them an unfair advantage (note: but what???), so now someone else hosts them for free.

So I don't think finding the funding is really much of an issue nowadays.

not necessarily. it would only be a tax if someone's increase in inflation costs exceeds the $2k or $24k if looking at annual numbers. So if the $2k/month makes the CPI go up 1%, then someone would have to spend $2.4 million/year to have a net loss, assuming there no increase of wages, asset prices, etc. Someone who spends a lot of money would see a net loss, but not someone who earns and spends little. As for investors, it does not matter anyway, as the S&P 500 does well in both high and low inflation environments.

Police funding is also not significantly reduced basically anywhere in the US afaict - in fact, it increased in Oakland, though not by as much as police chiefs had hoped and as a slightly smaller percentage of the overall city budget due to increases elsewhere.
https://oaklandside.org/2021/06/25/oakland-2021-2023-budget-...

Separately, the article links to this source[0] when talking about how progressives are "ruining cities", arguing that progressives have successfully pushed for decreases police budgets despite violent crime increases. But the article linked shows increases in police budgets by percentage of the overall budget. There are real instances of yoy "cuts" but they seem to occur with disproportionately larger cuts elsewhere across the budget, which does not support the hypothesis that progressives are defending the police; it shows that when cutting budgets we still prioritize policing.

Obviously crime is Oakland is too high, what happened to the author shouldn't happen anywhere. These experienced incidents are an important barometer on whether or not what we measure statistically is working to describe reality. We need good metrics prescribe the cure. However, it doesn't follow to me that the issue was caused by lower police budgets looking at how police budgets changed, and I am not convinced that there a progressive voting block to blame yet.. Maybe the morale issue is related, but the budget seems like a red herring.
It sounds like you're happy to hand control of your browser away for free. I've been writing code for a few decades, I don't know everything but I don't need someone to decide for me what's too dangerous for me to have access to.

If I was truly insane I'd go the Steve Gibson route and write a completely different browser from scratch. I'm aware it would take the rest of my life (or longer) at this point but the engine options are so few, and the ability to avoid the owners' restrictive BS limited enough, that I'd be happy as a clam to see a whole new reboot.

I'd jump onto even an alpha of that, just to bump numbers out of hope that ANY group could get together and get out from under the advertising trap.
Has nothing to do with "normies". With the old extension system, Mozilla couldn't make any substantial changes to browser internals (like multi-process, among other things) without breaking everything. It makes sense to have clear boundaries between the core and extensions, and keep implementation details out of the extension interface.

I've been a victim of both violent crime and property theft. Police did nothing. It was pulling teeth just to get them to write up reports so that I could file insurance claims.

Police don't prevent crime. Hell, they barely even respond to crime.

And cops in our city have criminally generous pensions -- when you count the pension, lots of these high school grads making 100K+/yr. To say nothing of the absurd capital expenditures. So, I'm super okay with shifting resources from PDs to basically any other program. Value per dollar spent is just super low. Probably lower than literally every other item on the budget sheet.

Doesn't have to be a political thing. Hell, prior to 2019, right-leaning libertarians were the only ones who I could find who agreed with me on this. PDs are just a shit use of tax dollars until we figure out how to bust up the unions and reign in the excessive toy purchases.

Editorify - Increase trust by adding photo and video reviews

The biggest reason why online reviews are important to businesses is that ultimately they increase sales by giving consumers the information they need to make the decision to purchase a product and create FOMO to increase social proof.

Editorify is a must-have app for store owners who are running their business on Shopify, Wix & WooCommerce and would like to maximize their conversion rate.

It helps you to easily collect and import authentic reviews from multiple wholesalers into your store to boost customers' trust, maximize engagement, build social proof and get more sales.

A lot of them felt more than once genuine fear from being victimized by crime committed by the police. Which, of course, is almost never reported as a crime by whoever survives it.
Bari doesn’t sound to me a genuine person. I have seen her first podcast with Joe Rogan where she sounded like a layperson with typical 21yr old understanding of sociology-political affair.

You must start with Steven Levy's Hackers. Some days, 75% of the front page of HN are footnotes to Hackers.
Agreed. My team is doing this very process. If we run into not knowing what class to use, we just look it up on the docs. VSCode also has a great intellisense plugin for tailwind as well (https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=bradlc.v...). For the first day or two we used the docs pretty heavily. Now, we just make a best guess, intellisense generally tells us what the class name actually is, and if we can't figure it out then we go to the docs.
The unfair advantage, I suspect, may have been that Google could look to see which patents were popular, or which ones were popular at a particular company, or which ones were becoming popular at a particular university. They already have that unfair advantage when it comes to search traffic, but reading a patent can expose you to treble damages for willful infringement.
Interesting little-known military trivia, which by itself doesn’t make it appropriate for HN. Illustrates how a new tactic progresses from its start as an idea had by a few people to its eventual use in combat, which may make it appropriate for HN.

> assumes the usual economic myths of a fixed amount of money

Not at all. Henry George's original ideas included defining money as essentially an IOU pointing to an underlying wealth; and wealth can indeed be increased.

> The problem with land is not rent, it is the power of exclusion, which leads to hoarding

This sentence makes me suspect you've confused the antecedent of LVT with its result.

Fixing hoarding is The Point of LVT.

You're misunderstanding the term "rent", which unfortunately refers to both the common "I charge you X money on a recurring basis in exchange for occupation" and the more precise economic rent[1]. LVT would disincentivize economic rent, which would kill speculation and encourage more productive use of land overall, which would decrease exclusion and force hoarders to sell off their holdings.

> I have seen the unraveling over the past year in my own neighborhood. In October, about three blocks from my house, a neighbor was shot and killed in a home invasion. About a mile south in the same month, a 15-year-old girl was shot to death in an act of road rage. And just a few weeks ago, a little more than a half-mile west of me, another teenager was fatally shot.

What exactly would police have done in any of these situations to prevent them from happening?

> They claim that, by taking money from police and putting it toward social programs, they can eliminate the need for heavy-handed policing in the first place. But the social programs are an afterthought. What matters most to these activists is tearing down the cops, not building up the tattered neighborhoods those cops are charged with protecting.

Progressives in the US want an increased federal minimum wage and guaranteed healthcare for everyone. Studies seemed to show mixed results on whether or not this will result in a decrease in overall crime, but now seems like the time to try.
