ta17711771··on Amazon is sued over warehouses after New York worker brings coronavirus home
This seems to be a feature, not a bug.

Yes, I'll go first, if it comes to that.

Stop worshipping authority, and revert back to individual critical thinking and verifiable proof.

We'd better get started, and not stop this time, then.

Everyone used to have "Victory" gardens or whatever they were called....why did we fuck that up? Postmates? Another 5 hours of overtime? To pay for the Maserati and Postmates?

Nonsense.

Don't forget, things were more than livable a hundred years ago.

We don't need multinationals to feed us. It's a sham. We're just not making proper use of our available space/resources as individuals.

Maybe we NEED to be closed for a while.

Slow down the consumption. Grow our own food. Barter with each other for services.

We can reverse some of the damage. Let's do it.

Also, NOT just exploitable with physical access....remote code execution is not just a theoretical fantasy.

This is Hacker News. I'm speaking of exploits/firmware vulnerabilities.

New hardware brings new mitigations, like the Pixels + GrapheneOS for example.

Used to think Android/mobiles were awful from a security perspective. Boy was I wrong.

Still awful for privacy, if Airplane mode is off, but, still.

> Russia for state-run propaganda media.

Who owns the national media outlets you've grown to trust?

Who pays for the commercials on those channels?

What stories can't those outlets run, without risking those advertising dollars?

Etc.

> I've seen people trying to get into a relationship (or even something more casual, but not a platonic friendship) get rejected because of the dreaded "green bubbles"

Good, fuck those people, I probably don't want to associate with them anyhow.

I consider this line of thinking to be on the same level as face tattoos, and social media posts about meals multiple times a week.

85%+ of the world's on Android, think outside your social circle =]

Orrrrr, everyone thinks their home isn't as bad as it actually is, including you?

Hardware security is changing very rapidly.

There's more than it seems on the surface.

ta17711771··on The Pentagon’s hand-me-downs helped militarize police
Also, when we push back on police having abused this equipment, the populace (at least part of it) will welcome actual military on our streets with open arms.
ta17711771··on Regulators may punish Deutsche Bank for its Jeffrey Epstein ties
Your fatal flaw is thinking everyone within all government groups are on the same team/have the same motives.
ta17711771··on Regulators may punish Deutsche Bank for its Jeffrey Epstein ties
You just need to keep it secret enough to hold out until the declassification of the documents a decade to 5 decades later.

What happens on failure?
ta17711771··on Regulators may punish Deutsche Bank for its Jeffrey Epstein ties
....there HAVE been smoking guns!

But, that depends on 1) how complete your personal research has been 2) how strictly you define smoking gun

ta17711771··on Regulators may punish Deutsche Bank for its Jeffrey Epstein ties
I'm willing to entertain/examine theories of either a hit, or a coordinated escape, and I'd argue those that aren't willing to entertain such are...sleeping.
ta17711771··on Regulators may punish Deutsche Bank for its Jeffrey Epstein ties
> you realize that this conspiracy would have to involve dozens of people at least

The public didn't know about The Manhattan Project, either. Check out the numbers on that...

Also, you'd be shocked what people would do for millions of dollars.

ta17711771··on Regulators may punish Deutsche Bank for its Jeffrey Epstein ties
It's very common for the elite to openly reference what they're doing, crime-wise, because 1) It's easy to hide in plain sight, and 2) Who's going to stop them, you? Epstein's probably on an island right now.
ta17711771··on Twitter account reposting everything Trump tweets, suspended within 3 days
Stop SAYING this! Goodness HN has stopped caring about facts.

This ruling was not upheld. Please stop using this example, HN.

Casual scum is casual.

ta17711771··on Civil rights leaders blast Facebook after meeting with Zuckerberg
Yeah, after one of those, hundreds and sometimes thousands of people die.

This is not what the comment you are responding to is saying, please address those points.
ta17711771··on Google is sued in U.S. for tracking users' 'private' internet browsing
Add to the list that Firefox doesn't have good security compared to Chromium variants, like proper per site process isolation.
ta17711771··on Lawmakers begin bipartisan push to cut off police access to military-style gear
I have no strong position in this argument, but, robberies and other armed crimes are regularly paired with a murder in order to get rid of the witness.
ta17711771··on Lawmakers begin bipartisan push to cut off police access to military-style gear
Correct, and in that case, they regularly wear POLICE insignia
