deadbolt··on Man raped in jail after AI technology wrongfully identifies him in robbery
Can we learn that with an FOIA request?
deadbolt··on Man raped in jail after AI technology wrongfully identifies him in robbery
With all due respect, I don't believe they were trying to turn this into a nationalist flamewar.

I agree with them, and as an American we should be free to criticize our country. I'm ashamed as an American that these stories occur. "Don't drop the soap" didn't become a phrase on it's own.

deadbolt··on Pentagon ex-UFO chief says conspiracy theorists in government drive spending
I'm trying to think of any mythology which wouldn't be considered human-scale, like you describe, and can't really think of any at all.

Do you have any thoughts on some outliers as far as mythology goes?

That's a nice way of excusing yourself for claiming they're not complying with the GPL, when incorrect.

deadbolt··on More Americans can now get insulin for $35
8.5 million Americans need insulin. Why doesn't our government just fund and produce it for the people?

deadbolt··on Ukraine aid's best-kept secret: Most of the money stays in the USA
We are sending them actual money to support their government. It’s not all just gifts of military gear.

Where’s the money come from?

Get back to be when you perfect your crystal ball and can let us know what the actual cost of doing nothing is, instead of just arguing about some theoretical savings.

Maybe you’re having your cake but I certainly don’t want any more money funneled into the “defense” industry.

deadbolt··on Ask HN: Has anyone gotten complete, permanent relief from tinnitus?
I will absolutely be looking into those! Thank you!
deadbolt··on Ask HN: Has anyone gotten complete, permanent relief from tinnitus?
I went to a lot of loud concerts when I was younger and just assumed that I had tinnitus from those, and until now, I had no idea there were multiple causes of tinnitus.

I had assumed this was incurable but if my tinnitus is from tight neck muscles, that seems fixable. I'm going to reach out to my doctor about this. Thank you, I think you might have just greatly improved my life.

deadbolt··on Ask HN: Has anyone gotten complete, permanent relief from tinnitus?
There's a trick which I can't recall the name of, which involves thumping your fingers across the back of your neck, which temporarily resolves tinnitus in some people. I have very mild tinnitus, and have noticed that that does quiet it.

This is a question for everyone I suppose, but does anyone know why that works? Could it be possible to develop an implant or something which generates the same effect?

What does $149M get you in a legal argument? I realize this must seem like a very naive question, but if the law said "you must disclose at 5%", and someone fails to do so, shouldn't that be a simple case?
deadbolt··on The magnificence of the bluefin tuna
Well I suppose it's both. However I would say we're setting up for a very large negative impact on most animals on the planet, including humans.

Your post was flagged (not by me) so I can't go back for exact context, but I do agree with you, zoos are pretty messed up.

I feel like seeing wildlife, even in non-native habitats, may help encourage people to act to conserve that wildlife. Seeing a creature in real life is different than in a video.

Edit: I went back and looked at your replies to other people. I will have to think about this more.

deadbolt··on The magnificence of the bluefin tuna
> We can protect endangered species by supporting habitat conservation – not animal prisons.

Could, but we don't.

How do you expect electoral reform to happen, when the people elected were elected because of the current electoral system?

Meaningful electoral reform via the current electoral system is a wish.

deadbolt··on The Nova Kakhovka Hydroelectric dam in Ukraine has been blown open
I'm sorry if you're confused but we're discussing a specific thing which occurred in a war zone, not the war itself. It's certainly complicated.

Also, for what it's worth, calling people idiots will never help you. You should probably stop doing that.

deadbolt··on The Nova Kakhovka Hydroelectric dam in Ukraine has been blown open
Glad you're not in charge. Maybe you feel cool saying you'd ok an operation which would result in the deaths of more innocents, but that's an abhorrent position.

Who does that apply to?

> You can be an achieved software developer, civil engineer or doctor - doesn't mean you're not an idiot.

Whatever you are doesn't make you some genius either.

We're all just people. Trying to understand an incredibly complicated situation doesn't make someone stupid.
