tree3··on Iran lawmaker says 50 dead from coronavirus in city of Qom
Reminder that China has not allowed WHO to observe the outbreak closely. WHO is simply repeating China's likely fake numbers.

The coronavirus has killed people. How is this a "moral panic"?
tree3··on Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway Stock Underperforms the Most Since 2009
Unsurprising. Berkshire is holding a lot of cash, waiting to invest it at a better time.
tree3··on Assange offered pardon if he co-operated over email leak, UK court hears
> Julian already stated that Russia had nothing to do with the DNC leaks.

Which is a blatantly false statement.

tree3··on ADS-B Exchange – Co-op of unfiltered flight data
In the US, that would probably be legal as long as you have the right to set up a camera at those locations (meaning, your property plus anyone else you get permission from).
tree3··on Ask HN: Is Let's Encrypt the new swiss crypto ag?
Why are you specifically targeting LE with this post? Why not other CAs?
tree3··on Twitter locks WikiLeaks account days before Assange's extradition hearing
> given the place it occupies in today's world

I don't use FB. FB occupies no space in my world.

> so it seems that they should be applying such decisions equally

No, why would they do that?

> After all, the government isn’t guaranteed free speech

Twitter is a private organization. There is no such thing as "free speech" in the private world.

> But I also don't like Facebook's forced news.

There's nothing forced about FB. You don't have to use FB, it's that simple.

tree3··on Twitter locks WikiLeaks account days before Assange's extradition hearing
No, it's not a problem. WikiLeaks is free to post whatever they'd like on their own platform, which they already have.

> If I were on crank stealing bike cranks to buy more crank, I would want to be arrested and sweat out withdrawal

You are speaking as someone who hasn't suffered from addiction. If you are an addict, you want drugs and you'll avoid withdrawl at all costs.

> Whatever the facility, I'd have medical staff monitoring my symptoms

You get the bare minimum in jail.

> The last thing I would want is to spend a night in jail then released for time served, wander back to my crank den, where after getting more crank into my veins

If you were an addict, that's exactly what you would want.

tree3··on California car burglaries are at crisis levels
I'll present a counter argument: these crimes are born out of poverty and addiction. Charging even more addicts & poor people with felonies does nothing to help equality.
tree3··on California car burglaries are at crisis levels
So in your opinion, where should the line be between misdemeanor and felony?

Also, do you think that charging more people with felonies is an appropriate solution to crime that has it's roots in addiction and poverty?
