I wish I could automatically block any account that has SF in its bio

Using gun deaths in the united states as against global terrorism is a flawed comparison. The US has more gun deaths than the united kingdom but it also has more guns and more people. When you expand the scope of terrorism related deaths to the entire world of course it is low, nobody in iceland has to worry about being bombed but someone in brussles, turkey, iraq or syria might disagree.

I will take accidental gun deaths in the US over terrorism any day. I invite anyone on HN to go stand in northern iraq and I will stand at a shooting range all day.

Im sure statistics helped the people who died today

I dont have a good reason to go to london but you bet your ass im going to fly on this

It is all about control. If you remove the independence of cash and you end up with government regulation deciding how much, what and where you spend your money. Such regulation can be used to put stress on businesses that the state deems 'unsuitable'[1] as well as punish those with differing opinions than the state[2].

Cashless society would essentially turn the world into one giant PayPal.

Oh boy another "I worked so hard because im a woman in tech" post. Everyone in tech works hard regardless of gender but some people choose to brag less than others.

I run an adblocker to protect myself from "the latest steroid taking GNC by storm" and "This website sells apple products for cheap!". Its an eyesore and ruins my user experience.

But who will build the roads?

Yeah just convert all of your excess labor into bits, now they dont even have to print money and distribute it.

Unlimited inflation time!

>Passport for domestic flights

And now the airlines will get even less money

>2. What kinds of things do millenials tend to insure other than cars and health? I, like most of my friends, don't own very much else worth insuring.

Why do you spend your money on?

VPN + Torrent client

Seedbox

Remote Desktop

USB drives on the back of pigeons

>Kids use parents accounts

No way!

>no more iphones

Now if that isnt the easiest way to start a civil war, I dont know what is.

>From the midwest

Everything will cost way more than expected.

The VC "culture" (and I use that term very loosely) is going to pop when investors get tired of disruptive washing machine sharing apps and that entire area is just going to be an expensive wasteland. If you have a job currently avoid the bay area like the plague it is. Any major "tech town" is going to have similar issues but SF is the nexus of the problem

France has roughly the same permitting system and storage regulations as Switzerland but you may not posses given types of rifles/handguns. Furthermore there is a limit on ammunition you can purchase per year.

Everything can be used in a destructive fashion, if a society is mature enough then it can enjoy them. Alcohol, private planes, cars, knives, food,etc all carry the same risk of abuse as guns.

More americans die of eating too much food each year than in all gun deaths ,let alone mass shootings.

> but who in the world needs an assault rifle?

Ignoring the "assault rifle" part of this. Semi-automatic carbines are great fun to shoot, they have a lower recoil impulse than traditional larger rifles and military surplus ammunition and parts generally creates a cheap and easy way to enjoy firearms. You can get an AR-15 for $600 or so and spend an afternoon enjoying it without a hurt shoulder or a bloody nose.

>And part of the reason why cops are armed to the teeth is because the citizens are.

The vast majority of deaths from firearms result from handguns not AR15s. You dont have criminals in Level 4 hard plates roaming around down town LA with shoulder fired rockets.

Knives are expressly designed to cut. They serve no Purpose (ignoring cooking, as those are basically a proxy for proving how well one can cut with a knife). There is no reason anybody outside of the kitchen needs a knife to carry out their day to day jobs.

Encryption is expressly designed to hide terrorists. It serves no purpose (ignoring privacy, as that is basically a proxy for proving how well one can hide from the government). There is no reason anybody outside of the military needs encryption to carry out their day to day jobs.

You can actually own a bazooka if you fill out the correct paperwork. It is a NFA item as regulated by the ATF and each round (aside from rounds containing no explosives) are their own NFA regulated item. Each bazooka and explosive round requires a long approval process, $200 fee, fingerprinting and passport photos. Each explosive round must be stored in a ammunition bunker built to strict ATF regulations and you must inform the ATF of each round fired.

Rifles and handguns sure are doing quite a number in the middle east and they worked in vietnam.

There are more toddlers in the USA than terrorists in the USA. This is pretty inconsequential.

No its not, anyone who thinks so does not understand the relationship between the state and its subjects

hahaha dude upvoted you sure got me with your funny trump meme! xDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

>UK Does something evil

No way!

Sidechannel bypass for airgaps?

Has that become any better? last time I played with it about the only mechanic that worked was slamming ships into rocks and watching them crumple

If it is sponsored by Arroyo networks than why am I paying additional money for it?
