No it's not. Thank you, 2 month old anonymous account, for confusing the issue.

>Does it matter right now? No. Will it in 50 years? Probably not still. Looking at our planet what we understand as modern law has generally only emerged in large groups of people. It's debatable whether any small group truly needs it.

It takes a special lack of self awareness to type this out on an internet forum in 2021.

You betray your ignorance about firearms. You cannot shoot to immobilize. Every shot taken is practically and legally a shot intending to kill. Real life is not a hollywood movie.

Should've shot them too if they refused to back down

It doesn't matter if she's mother Theresa and came here with the cure for cancer. You cannot interrupt the transition of power. We have laws that must be followed. If you try to overthrow the government you will be stopped. I watched a video of her getting shot. She was breaking through a barricaded door and making her way towards officers with guns drawn.

You're not a protester if you are breaking into congress, breaking past a barricade, being told to stop, and walking towards an officer pointing his gun at you. You're suicidal.

It's not murder if it's legal. If you don't want to get shot, don't invade the seat of government during a constitutionally prescribed transition of power, break through a barricade, ignore a cop's orders and approach a cop pointing his gun at you. Hard, I know.

Do Canadians and Australians need as much healthcare as aging and obese Americans do?

Maybe that's because the US needs more healthcare?

I think HN is lower quality than Reddit because it's harder to spot who doesn't know what they're talking about. On Reddit the clowns have bad grammar and don't even attempt to substantiate their beliefs. On HN the clowns have flowing prose, a Stanford degree and immaculate clown makeup.

Maybe the real targets were the pigeons on the sidewalk?

>Whatever democracy we have depends on how well organized the general population is against elite political factions

If the people making up the democracy are too naïve and uneducated to defend against external and internal threats then democracy will fail. Reality is that which happens regardless of your political beliefs.

The case in the US would be around the market power of Facebook, Google and Amazon. That vertical merger case is being run by the Department of Justice’s antitrust division. The European Commission is also investigating the same three companies under its EU Merger Regulation rules. The EU competition enforcer has opened a case against Google for some e-commerce practices.

If you torture the data, it will speak.

See you in the gulag, comrade!

Assange isn't a whistleblower, he just tries to stir the pot of shit as best as he can. He has well documented anti-american sentiments and publishes his leaks without redacts to cause maximum loss of life and safety to Americans and American allies.

You antagonize every western country and then wonder why they treat you like an enemy. Assange suddenly screams "Wait, you still have to follow the rules!"

What could someone leak that would justify locking them up, according to you?

Apple is not a government? That's fine. Let the government regulate them and break them up.

Americans have the right to tell the government to back off when the government breaks the law. We shouldn't hold everyone to the same low standard as Belarus.

Uhhh.... C doesn't just compile to x86?

That's not waste, that's a tradeoff.

Eating skin cream after two days without food? There are people who recreationally fast for that length. There's something missing from this story.

That sounds like a problem with your company first and foremost. If you ignore useful information from people you dislike, your competitors will innovate faster than you.

And yet people watch Joe Rogan instead of Lex Fridman.

I'm not responsible for strangers. If I'm a hiring manager, I'm responsible for my company and the safety of my employees. I owe nothing to a stranger. Take your problem to someone else.

>By now, almost everyone knows what Edward Snowden did. He leaked top-secret documents revealing that the National Security Agency was spying on hundreds of millions of people across the world, collecting the phone calls and emails of virtually everyone on Earth who used a mobile phone or the internet.

He also released the technical details of exactly how America was collecting intelligence in other countries concerning non-US citizens. Most of the stuff he leaked has nothing to do with domestic surveillance, but he'd have you believe in his cult-like image of a martyr.

>and learned not to steal

That's the issue at hand. Serving a prison sentence doesn't mean that you have learned not to steal. It's difficult for the company to verify that you have "learned your lesson".

Yes, they just need to magically shrink the distances between cities

Did they lockdown the whole country for months?
