It's like saying China should have dropped freedom bombs on US during trump leadership so Americans can be saved.

They underestimated Syria and Assad leadership, they hoped they could take over the country.

To install a US puppet dictator. They don't care about the people.

It's not boy cry wolf because the victim made no claim. Someone committed fraud making a false claim and attributed it to him.

Meanwhile if the call was legit, people would complain why the lazy police took no steps to remedy the matter and the usual "police have no obligation to protect you" quotes would be copy and pasted.

People should look toward improving the problems in society and in people instead of just blaming police for everything. Police did nothing wrong in this case. The parents and kids should be investigated and questions should be asked of what they did or did not do and how they could have prevented this.

The article explains why jQuery doesn't promote bad development patterns. That is a consequence of bad development and a misunderstanding of what jQuery is.

Some people talk big about dropping jQuery and saving one request, yet they have a shipload of bloat elsewhere. Not using jQuery in and of itself is not an optimization of any kind. I use jQuery and my page has a perfect score in GTmetrix. If the goal is optimization, you have to consider the total package.

Addititionally, jQuery loads on the first request and sits in local cache thereafter. And it could already be in local cache if you use a CDN.

I'm a nobody but I didnt see anything wrong with the comment. Its pointing out the illogical idea of caring for a cause only because others cared. I'm sure this is a big problem today with social media. People (generally speaking) just want to fit in, they have no real motivation to support a good cause at their own expense.

And that's still the case here? This is just one more possible punishment. I'm sure if at tech companies workers were receiving docked vacation they would be raging on HN.

Not every infraction involves someone getting injured or killed.

The reason their vacation is docked is because the actual punishment they're receiving is an unpaid suspension. But since going unpaid hurts, they take the suspension out of the vacation hours.

I'm glad to hear you conducted a thorough survey with the millions of good police officers out there and found out they support the bad apples. If only everyone had access to this unprecedented data you have collected, we could finally put this matter to rest.

Unlike most people here it seems, I started using DuckGo few years ago and have no issues at all. Everything works well or well enough, and although you cant verify their privacy claim, I certainly know it's as private if not more than Google at the very least.

I notice whenever police are brought up some people just desperately want to blame them for something.

Although I understand what you're saying, email and YouTube access is not the same as water. Depriving someone of water would be the same as depriving them of life, which is not true of email, YouTube, and whatever g-services.
