>But using race is a punitive factor to punish minorities that are "too successful", is pure racism.

Is it racism to punish members of the majority that are "too successful"? I'm not trying to make a point with this question - I am just asking.

This is also why I don't drink water - fish shit in it.

If you proposed this it would just become a tool of partisan bickering anyway. This department would spend the first month when a new government is in office declaring everything they ideologically oppose from the previous government as stupid.

Used to play it all the time. Tried to play it recently and it failed under Windows 10.

Then those websites should be considered broken much like we consider Adobe Flash and sites with invalid TLS certificates.

>There is increasing pressure to use Facebook in order to fit in and be included in things.

>If I put a gun to your head and ask you nicely to take the pill or die, I'm essentially forcing you to take the pill

One of these things is not at all like the other.

Went to my appointment, doctor wrote an order for an APAP machine, called the medical supply company who is working with the insurance and will call me later today (or will receive a call from me tomorrow morning when they open). Thanks for the advice.

I remember in the first Civ that there was a notion of pollution that started kicking in once you had built factories. The only way to clean it up was to dedicated Settler units to go around and clean it up.

I can do this too! I was born with a superpower, one that ensures I can fall asleep anywhere, anytime - untreated obstructive sleep apnea!

With obstructive sleep apnea, you too can fall asleep in those stressful situations like driving, in the middle of a fire drill at your desk, and while attending an important work presentation!

(On the serious, I have an appointment to get a CPAP tomorrow and in the meantime I sleep sitting up with my feet elevated and avoid most of the ill effects, but it's only a short term solution because it must be weighted against the possibility of a DVT or other blood clot.)

It was clear to me that the video in question in the case was not glorifying Nazism - the person convicted stated he was sick of people saying his girlfriend's dog was cute so he trained the dog to do those things to both annoy his girlfriend as a joke and so people would stop thinking of the dog as cute because there's no less cute thing, in his mind, than a Nazi.

The fact that some neo-Nazis liked it is, in my mind, beside the point. I'm sure some neo-Nazis liked "The Producers" for, in their minds, showing that catering to the neo-Nazi crowd was profitable.

Writing and publishing a recipe is absolutely protected by the First Amendment as an inalienable right.

The original question was about your legal mechanism for implementation of a ban on private ownership on weapons. What change would you make to existing laws to enact this ban?

Additionally, what is your plan to deal with the potential for violent, armed resistance to this ban, and in what facilities would you put all of the violators of this ban?

So a repeal of the Second Amendment to the Constitution?

Usenet still exists

Offtopic: What legal mechanism do you propose to use to ban the private ownership of firearms in the United States of America?

Edit: Additionally, what do you want done about all of the currently legal guns that exist in this country when this ban goes into effect?

I suggest that all HN readers in the UK go to their local stores containing DVDs/BluRays, find a copy of "The Producers", and then contact the police immediately because the movie concerns a group of crooked financiers that include Nazism to profit. Explain to the police that you are deeply offended that anyone would attempt to profit off of Nazism and that everyone associated with the movie and the people that own and run the store you found the DVD/BluRay in should be arrested and charged with offending you.

Then make the officers of the company stake their lives on this, not the lives of innocent pedestrians.

If they're not willing to dogfood their own potential murder machines then why should the public trust them on the public roads?

This is why you should never be interviewed by a police officer unless you have council present. I know it's an Internet meme, but it's true.

It would really be a change if we elected the president by popular vote because we don't now and haven't ever.

RMS would cringe at you calling it open source software instead of Free Software

Reddit has default subreddits. It could easily have default filters that users could change/augment if they wanted to.

That's the "put up a group photo" method of describing a job. Hint: unless there are other pictures, assume that the most unattractive person in the picture is the person in the profile.

Agreed. Save that money to pay good talent more, and save the time so I can get out of work in 40 hours a week or less.

>Hans Reiser would likely never kill another person in his life if he was free.

You seriously think that he wouldn't kill again if his next wife or lover "betrayed him" in his mind? If you feel that way, why don't we just give his children a pass to murder him because he took their mother from them?

>If he could have full access to a computer he would have likely continued to learn and build things. Instead we dump him with the rest of the dregs of society

He murdered his wife, a crime to which he freely plead guilty. He is the dregs of society.

I've not seen Pearson sniffing around the healthcare market.

I recently bought a Samsung Galaxy J7 Prime and was able to uninstall Facebook the same way that you would uninstall any other Facebook app. It's the first Samsung phone I've ever used that was like that.

The thought of what would happen to my poor cat if I were no longer here has often kept my mind from meandering to unsafe places.

Just because only 48% was paid directly to the family does not mean that these were the only costs to the program. For example, the program requires regular health checkups, so to make those accessible it likely either paid the total cost or most of the cost for those checkups as it's unlikely that the people using this program would be able to pay for them completely on their own.

Electronic Arts started as an outfit for people like this, as did Activision. It's saddening to see how much their ethos has changed in the ensuing 30-40 years.

>If Slashdot had found a way to detect and penalize people who were upvoting fluff, it would be far more useful today.

I thought their metamoderation system was great. The issue with Slashdot is that you had to be one of the chosen few with mod points that day to contribute to moderation.
