Ceilingon Nevada cops use civil forfeiture to steal a veterans life savings

Sorry, prosecutors.

If they’re not attempting to prosecute potential crimes, they should be disbarred. If cops are lying or omitting evidence, they should be fired and charged themselves with obstruction.

The current route is eroding our faith in the system which is showing it’s result already.

Many people are anti-vax because of their distrust. But there’s MANY examples.

I suspect the OP would argue that the stimulus you receive from McDonald’s is not the taste, but rather the variety, sugars, salts, ease, etc.

People keep blaming the police (rightfully so, to a degree) but it’s the _pathetic, coward_ DAs that refuse to prosecute the police. If they lied or manufactured evidence, they must be held accountable.

Ceilingon Unvaccinated teacher infected half her students with Covid, CDC finds

>Where is the evidence that her wearing a mask would have changed the outcomes?

There is multiple studies that show masks are effective at _slowing down_ the spread.

>It either works or it does not.

Huh? This is like saying, "chemotherapy works or it does not."

>Sorry, does not take much to see that, just simply look at everyday observations.

Yep. I'm looking. There's mass deaths a day. Funny the activity is in the anti-mask states, huh?

>yet NONE have exhibited anything close to the 91% infection rates

The CDC said 91% of kids live in high risk places... it has nothing to do with the infection rate. You need to _read_ sources and not just emotionally react.

Ceilingon Apple's child protection features spark concern within its own ranks: sources

Here's my hope: E2E encryption. Maybe the government is throwing a fit about Apple harboring potential CP on its server if it's E2E encrypted, so apple says, "fine well review it prior to upload, and then E2E encrypt the upload itself"

I can hope, I guess...

He’s saying that every option is not an ideal option. So there’s nothing to “switch” to.

Ceilingon Ask HN: Is there any software that can be considered finished?

ROM hacks might be considered _new_ software.

Ceilingon Ask HN: How can you provide complete anonymity and identity on the internet?

The purest forms of evil that we know about predate the internet. Not to mention, removing anonymity also removes a real resource for individuals.

I was depressed a lot as a young person and considered suicide. I’d never share these feelings offline. Online, I was able to connect with individuals that I can speak truthfully to.

Also, anonymity makes me take every post at value. For example, if you’re biased against a religion, political affiliation, race, etc, you might find that you ignore posts made by those you’re biased again. Anonymous posters don’t have this worry - I don’t know who you are. Thus, the only thing I can judge is your words. Not past words, but words here and now.

There’s positives and negatives but in this case the negatives far outweighs the positives.
