> you can be liable if you can't prove it happened.

Even if you can prove in many places.

Also if someone robs your house and gets hurt due to some noncompliance on your part they can sue you and win.


This is actually the norm throughout the world.

The law doesn't give a shit about truth but it only cares about keeping thing running smoothly as they currently are.


> God commands us to expose, correct, and punish evil

Which god(s)?

You can't comment like this on HN, no matter who or what you're replying to.

The guidelines ask us all to be kind; they're the first words in the "In Comments" section: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html.

People often underestimate how harsh their words come across to others when posting them on a web forum. If you intended them with sincerity, that’s fine, but one can easily read your words in the way that is often meant as a hurtful attack. Please take more care to ensure your words are clearly, sincerely kind in future.

Edit: On further investigation, I see we've had to warn you before about making that kind of comment relating to religion, and I note you posted a similarly dismissive reply last time. And indeed this time you've escalated, with the words "Cruelty is enabling clearly psychotic behavior."

Given that you're showing no intention to reform this pattern of behavior, it's time to ban the account.


But it was tied to that!


3 days of computation is crazy and definitely not on par with human contestants.


> it declared "success" by deleting the entire test suite.

The paperclip trivial solution!


The court did reject qualified immunity.

However, the poor guy only defeated criminal charges on appeal!


You've had people in jail for over a decade at the judge's discretion because the judge didn't believe them.

And this in a civil matter!


Privacy is not a deterrent to that.

The state does what it wants and in the end it doesn't even need an excuse.

An excuse is a nice to have, but that's it.


>The state does what it wants and in the end it doesn;t even need an excuse.

It doesn't need an excuse because people let it not need an excuse.

Every idiot, even on HN, heck, particularly on HN and other places where demographic factors result most never having been the target of government or think that they would be, is perfectly fine with it when the government behaves this way in pursuit of things they agree with. And so the only people complaining about any one government abuse are the small minority that care all the time plus whatever group care about the specific issue.

If people would stop being two faced snakes and have some principals and stand by them the problem would decrease on its own. But that's like saying "just go as fast as light", it's not a tractable problem.


The state has more power and therefore does what it wants.

Anything other than that is just wishful thinking.


I think the idea of the GP is, that people stand up for what they think is right, meaning that they gather in the millions on the streets to protest when injustice happens, instead of staying mostly at home and doing nothing.


But how are they made?
