| -TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-www.cnbc.com | Accuracy of U.S. coronavirus data thrown into question as decline in testing skews drop in new cases | Aug 13 00:57 | |
| DaemonFC[m] | schestowitz: Testing down 53% in Texas, but only 10% fewer positive daily cases. | Aug 13 00:57 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Less testing backfires because people have to get sicker to get tested, and by that point they've spread it around more. | Aug 13 00:57 |
| DaemonFC[m] | So the positive results rate went from about 12% to about 23.5% in the same period. | Aug 13 00:58 |
| DaemonFC[m] | They're trying to hide the numbers because the Republicans have egg all over their face and the only thing their conspiracy to kill the truth does is result in MORE cases eventually. | Aug 13 00:58 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The Republican Party is a criminal outfit that is engaged in a conspiracy to try to bury the truth about the Coronavirus. | Aug 13 01:01 |
| DaemonFC[m] | So testing in Illinois hasn't been affected much because our Governor has been trying to keep a lid on the virus, and you do that with testing. But most of the south never really thought it would be a problem until it was too late. In fact, the Trump Administration leaked memos saying they didn't care about the virus because it was initially starting to affect major cities with Democrats, so their strategy was going | Aug 13 01:03 |
| DaemonFC[m] | to be to blame Democrats. | Aug 13 01:03 |

| DaemonFC[m] | The people who are playing this down and put stupid people in charge of their local government are a bunch of nasty old Republicans and the fewer of them when the election rolls around, the better. | Aug 13 01:49 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Maybe we'll avoid 4 more years of national tragedy when they're not voting anymore. | Aug 13 01:50 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The real tragedy here isn't a virus that's mostly killing people who are too stupid to take it seriously and stay away from it. It's what it's done to our economy and that it forced people who know what this is and appreciate what it can do into hiding. | Aug 13 01:51 |
| *gde33 has quit (Ping timeout: 256 seconds) | Aug 13 01:51 | |
| DaemonFC[m] | The people like my mother are the ones who ruined this country with their vote because they consider people like my spouse to be trash (she even said as much, basically, a few times), and they didn't see Trump being so stupid that he'd let something like this in to kill them. | Aug 13 01:52 |
| DaemonFC[m] | This thing in Florida will just go on killing hundreds each day for at least a few months because Florida is a giant trash can. | Aug 13 01:53 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The only good thing is that given that elections there are often decided by hundreds or a few thousand votes, and the people this thing is killing scores of are old people in MAGA hats, many people in Florida are totally pissed off right now, and the ones it is killing were likely going to vote for Trump had they been alive when the voting started in the last week of October. | Aug 13 01:54 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The Republicans figured early voting helps working class people who don't vote for them and curtailed it because old people are dead weight with nothing to do all day except hobble over to the polling place to screw everyone else. | Aug 13 01:55 |
| DaemonFC[m] | This year, they need absentee and early voting more than the Democrats do, and not having that extra 30 days of voting means that about 7,000 more old folks in Florida die while other states are voting already. | Aug 13 01:55 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Possibly more. | Aug 13 01:56 |
| DaemonFC[m] | So they've hurt their own turnout in a state where hundreds of votes can throw the entire state one way or the other. | Aug 13 01:56 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The Coronavirus will lose Florida for Trump, and it didn't have to be that way. | Aug 13 01:57 |
| DaemonFC[m] | If he had taken it seriously and projected that Republicans didn't have to deliberately not wear masks and whatnot, then Florida never would have turned out the way it has. | Aug 13 01:58 |

| DaemonFC[m] | I have to wear a mask that makes my glasses steam up. | Aug 13 02:09 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Trump demanded college football and they said "No." immediately because he wanted to distract the stupid drunk redneck trash that votes for him from the fact that they haven't had any food or money to pay their mortgage with in a while. | Aug 13 02:11 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I wish that these people who got themselves killed already anyway would just hurry up and die already. | Aug 13 02:12 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Apparently they can stack shit pretty damned high because there's no end in sight. | Aug 13 02:13 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The only reason we're not hitting 70,000 cases a day anymore is because Trump finally got what he wanted and testing is way down. | Aug 13 02:15 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Which isn't great. Results in more deaths later and nearly as many cases registered. | Aug 13 02:15 |

| oiaohm | DaemonFC[m]: really question why does it is special for a person enforcing face marks policy that its a felony. Here in Australia assaulting a staff member no matter the request is a felony. | Aug 13 02:37 |
| DaemonFC[m] | oiaohm: It's an aggravating factor. | Aug 13 02:38 |
| DaemonFC[m] | There's numerous ways you can raise simple battery (a class C misdemeanor) to an A misdemeanor or a D or C Felony in Illinois. Each time you aggravate battery, it goes up one or more letters or into the Felony range. | Aug 13 02:39 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Normally it jumps straight to a felony if you attack a senior citizen, a cop, a social worker, a probation officer, a teacher, a fire fighter, or a paramedic. | Aug 13 02:39 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Now that includes a retail worker who is conveying a public health message, and that's been made necessary because of Republicans attacking retail workers for asking them to wear a mask. | Aug 13 02:40 |
| DaemonFC[m] | But it can actually get much worse. The D Felony is retail worker says wear a mask and you punch him. | Aug 13 02:40 |
| DaemonFC[m] | If you aggravate it again by pulling a knife, it's a C Felony, and pulling a gun would jump to a B Felony. | Aug 13 02:41 |
| DaemonFC[m] | If you pull a gun on an elderly retail worker for saying wear a face mask, you've committed a Class A Felony. 20 years to life. | Aug 13 02:41 |
| oiaohm | Ok I see difference. | Aug 13 02:42 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Also, you could get there by pulling a gun on a retail worker for saying wear a face mask and you shout "Don't you tell me to wear a mask you stupid n****r fag! I voted for Trump!". | Aug 13 02:42 |
| oiaohm | cop in Australia does not have special protection. | Aug 13 02:42 |
| DaemonFC[m] | That would be a double aggravated battery with a firearm and a hate crime sentencing enhancement. | Aug 13 02:43 |
| oiaohm | Fun part of Australia when police officer arrest you they are technically performing a Citizen’s Arrest. | Aug 13 02:44 |
| oiaohm | So we don't have this special you assust police officer you get some special extra level of charge. | Aug 13 02:45 |
| oiaohm | The base starting point for Assault cases is just higher for everyone. | Aug 13 02:45 |
| DaemonFC[m] | They can also hit you with the FOID law if you don't have a CCW and FOID card. | Aug 13 02:45 |
| oiaohm | Having a gun in a retail store in the first place without being a security guard of the store or a police officer would see you mega screwed in Australia. | Aug 13 02:47 |
| *brendyyn (~brendyyn@14.2.150.205) has joined #techrights | Aug 13 02:47 | |
| oiaohm | Ok you can have a gun in a store and not be those in a portable gun safe setup ie a locked box that you cannot access quickly. | Aug 13 02:47 |
| DaemonFC[m] | You need a CCW and a FOID to have a concealed firearm on you in Illinois. | Aug 13 02:48 |
| oiaohm | Same with having a knife on your person. | Aug 13 02:48 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It is then a crime to have it in any business that does not allow it in there. | Aug 13 02:48 |
| oiaohm | Australia there is no such thing as legal concealed carried other than secured carry. | Aug 13 02:49 |
| oiaohm | Yes you can have a second weapon concealed but 1 weapon must be visible of the same class. | Aug 13 02:49 |
| oiaohm | knife does not need in a locked box like a gun. Knife techically can be in a backpack/bag as long as you have a valid reason for it being there like with your lunch. Knife in a general pocket is no. If the knife is something you need for work in rapid access you will have it on belt so visable. | Aug 13 02:54 |
| oiaohm | Fun part of Australia laws is Dangerous articles. You see in USA movies people with bits of pipe, baseball bats, hammers .... All those bits you need explainable reason why you have them in Australia. | Aug 13 02:59 |

| DaemonFC[m] | Rich white people wonder why they have to live in the same terror that residents of South Chicago do normally. Afraid to send their kids outside to play. | Aug 13 03:29 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I never saw any kids at the park across the street when I lived in South Shore. | Aug 13 03:29 |
| DaemonFC[m] | "We're rich. We deserve better! If you don't do something, we'll move!" | Aug 13 03:29 |
| DaemonFC[m] | They're used to the police camped out making sure hardly anything happens on the north side. As soon as anything happens there, usually, here comes the police. ALL of the police. Meanwhile, it goes from someone being murdered to 3-4 cops showing up an hour later on the south side. | Aug 13 03:31 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The cops are only worried about protecting the parts of the city where they get lots of taxes. | Aug 13 03:32 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The only thing the city worries about is how to push more normal people out of the city so they can charge outrageous rents and taxes. | Aug 13 03:32 |
| DaemonFC[m] | There's no doubt in my mind that the reason the cops didn't respond to an Indian man who owns a convenience store, who spent $300,000 to rebuild it in May, the last time it was looted, and says he can't afford to do it again, when they were standing right down the street..... Is they don't care about hard working immigrants who came here an made something out of themselves and started a business. He picked the wrong | Aug 13 03:34 |
| DaemonFC[m] | state to start a business in. | Aug 13 03:34 |
| DaemonFC[m] | He picked one where the city will tax him, let his business be destroyed by outlaws twice while the police are watching and don't do shit, and won't let him buy a gun to protect it with himself. | Aug 13 03:34 |
| oiaohm | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defensive_gun_use All the studies on Gun usage lead agree on one thing. A gun is missed used at least 98 % percent of the time vs the 2% of the time at best it use for so call self defense. | Aug 13 04:10 |
| -TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-en.wikipedia.org | Defensive gun use - Wikipedia | Aug 13 04:10 | |
| oiaohm | Even in the USA there is a higher odds if you own a gun that you will shot yourself with that gun then use it for self defense. | Aug 13 04:12 |
| oiaohm | Really the stats don't back the concept of self defense as really a valid gun reason. Particular once you start split defence of other from self defense. Defence of other is when you point a gun at someone while they are focused on another target this maybe a person or the item they are stealing. Defense of other is when a firearm really works. | Aug 13 04:21 |
| cybrNaut | DaemonFC[m]: why can't he buy a gun to protect his shop? | Aug 13 04:52 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Because even if he jumps through hoops, the prosecutor will certainly indict him for murder for protecting himself when the whole city goes nuts again. | Aug 13 04:53 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Again, they have a free pass to tear the city apart, rob from people who are trying to earn a living, generally act like idiots, and nothing ever happens. | Aug 13 04:55 |
| DaemonFC[m] | So people are threatening to just up and leave the city and let the bank and the government duke it out for the house. | Aug 13 04:55 |
| cybrNaut | the best security is insurance | Aug 13 04:55 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The insurance has a riot provision. | Aug 13 04:56 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Plus even if it doesn't, your premiums will go up, so you pay for your own store being vandalized either way. | Aug 13 04:56 |
| cybrNaut | ah, right, i've heard that. But i've also heard ppl making claims recently after the Floyd riots, so it seems some policies are decent | Aug 13 04:56 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The riots have nothing to do with George Floyd. | Aug 13 04:57 |
| cybrNaut | i'm talking about the Floyd riots | Aug 13 04:57 |
| DaemonFC[m] | They're opportunists who know that if anyone does anything to stop black criminals now, they'll be called racists. | Aug 13 04:57 |

| DaemonFC[m] | It's borrowing straight from the Federal Reserve now because nobody will loan the state money at the rates it was looking for because the credit rating is about to be cut to Junk. | Aug 13 05:06 |
| DaemonFC[m] | If an entire state has a sovereign default, guess what happens. | Aug 13 05:08 |
| DaemonFC[m] | So the Fed is feeding a state that is out of control so that it won't go bust, and the loans will probably never be paid back. | Aug 13 05:09 |

| schestowitz | Azure has layoffs | Aug 13 13:16 |
| schestowitz | and Azure, according to insiders, was losing loads of money and maybe still is | Aug 13 13:16 |
| schestowitz | [13:00] <oiaohm> Azure is priced cheaper than AWS for a lot of cases. | Aug 13 13:17 |
| schestowitz | subsidy at a loss? | Aug 13 13:17 |
| schestowitz | and if so, how long before Azure shuts down? | Aug 13 13:17 |
| schestowitz | leaving people high and dry | Aug 13 13:17 |
| oiaohm | The price Azure is selling stuff at is not the lowest price in the market. | Aug 13 13:17 |
| schestowitz | of the costs soar once people are trapped inside? | Aug 13 13:17 |
| schestowitz | oiaohm: you are changing the subject | Aug 13 13:18 |
| oiaohm | So costs Microsoft is charging they should be able to make a profit out Azure | Aug 13 13:18 |
| oiaohm | If not its miss management Microsoft side. | Aug 13 13:18 |
| oiaohm | Of course this is Microsoft. | Aug 13 13:18 |
| oiaohm | schestowitz: basically it should not be a subsidy at a loss. If you compare Azure to lot of the largest vendors they are cheaper. But there are other vendors who have extisted decades making profit with lower prices than azure. | Aug 13 13:23 |
| oiaohm | So if Azure is well managed and they are not overspending it should be making a profit. | Aug 13 13:24 |
| oiaohm | Problem does well managed and Mircosoft in fact work out. | Aug 13 13:24 |
| psydread | schestowitz, I put it in quotes because that's what someone told me today. These people are lying with a straight face and making you prove that what you're saying isn't true | Aug 13 13:24 |
| MinceR | what have they lumped in with azure for the purposes of profit accounting? | Aug 13 13:25 |
| oiaohm | Core bit of Azure the cloud services should be profit. | Aug 13 13:25 |
| MinceR | not if they're selling it below cost | Aug 13 13:26 |
| oiaohm | Others are able are able to operate at lower cost providing the same classes of servers at profit. | Aug 13 13:26 |
| oiaohm | so Azure well managed should be more income than costs. | Aug 13 13:27 |
| oiaohm | Now is Azure well managed that the open question. | Aug 13 13:27 |

| DaemonFC[m] | That's assuming that the Lake County False-Accuser Michael Nerheim doesn't just invent crimes for himself to solve because it's getting close to the election. | Aug 13 18:01 |
| scientes | very few people know that history | Aug 13 18:01 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I don't know how much the budget cuts affected the False-Accuser's office. My guess is they found a way to spare him and take more money from the Public Pretender. That's government for you. | Aug 13 18:02 |
| scientes | the Indian music certainly is very different | Aug 13 18:02 |
| scientes | and when it got the classical treatment guitar became very advanced instrument | Aug 13 18:03 |
| scientes | instead of just folk music | Aug 13 18:03 |
| DaemonFC[m] | They give the Public Defender about half the budget of the Prosecutor in normal times. | Aug 13 18:04 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Even though about 86% who get arrested can't afford an attorney. | Aug 13 18:04 |
| scientes | Indian music really is the only other system besides the "classical" music tradition | Aug 13 18:04 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I sure hope that whoever has to take on Thomas Keller figures out a way to make him go away quickly and at minimal expense. | Aug 13 18:04 |
| DaemonFC[m] | There's people who really nees the Public Defender because they are being wrongly and maliciously prosecuted. | Aug 13 18:05 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Here we have a shitdick that's taking up valuable resources while he's facing 16 felony counts and 14 of them should be prison for the rest of your life type stuff. | Aug 13 18:06 |

| scientes | Indian music does *not* use even tempered tuning, but does play ever note that western music does. It makes up for the loss in complexity by having very complicated rythms. | Aug 13 18:12 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Bonus points for the exercise they got from pulling an 83 year old man out of the car and throwing him on the ground and then throwing his bag of groceries at him. | Aug 13 18:12 |

| DaemonFC[m] | 100% black. 75% male. Roughly 90% under 35. | Aug 13 18:20 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Good luck! | Aug 13 18:20 |
| scientes | so its kinda like the metric system | Aug 13 18:21 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The reason why black men over 35 usually don't commit too much crime is because the ones that get involved in gangs are usually shot dead between the age of 12-34. | Aug 13 18:21 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It's not a career where you're checking out which retirement village to spend your 60s through your 90s in. | Aug 13 18:21 |
| DaemonFC[m] | In Chicago, consider that between 700-1000 people are shot dead every year. 90% of the deaths are gang members. | Aug 13 18:22 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Each year you're in a gang, you have a pretty decent chance of being in that figure. | Aug 13 18:23 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The people who reach 35 probably were not in a gang. | Aug 13 18:23 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It's an endless cycle because they'll get someone pregnant along the way (or more than one), and the mother will be single and become a ward of the state along with the kids, and then when they're like 12, they'll probably be in a gang too. | Aug 13 18:24 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The Democrat plan to solve the problem cheaply was let anyone go on Medicaid and get an abortion. | Aug 13 18:25 |
| DaemonFC[m] | In the first entire year of the plan being in effect, there were about 3,600 more abortions in Illinois. In Chicago, roughly 2,500. | Aug 13 18:25 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Even if we assume that the figure remains constant and people don't just keep doing it and doing it, then we have a small version of that part of the book Freakanomics, which showed that after Roe v. Wade, the violent crime wave that was sweeping the cities subsided approximately 18-20 years after the ruling (1994-1996) and never got that bad again. | Aug 13 18:27 |
| DaemonFC[m] | So the Democrat plan to deal with crime in Chicago was to just give single black mothers all the abortions they want so they won't cost the state welfare money and have kids that end up in gangs. | Aug 13 18:27 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The state of Illinois figures dealing with the problem at the source at $500 a pop is a net savings because it won't have to spend millions on each individual for welfare and clogging the courts and prisons. | Aug 13 18:28 |
| DaemonFC[m] | They've managed to fly this thing under the radar and completely avoid the accusation of racist policy. | Aug 13 18:28 |
| psydread | scientes, I went to this concert of modern Russian music in 2012 with pieces from Rachmaninov, Prokofiev and Shchedrin and had a hard time wrapping my head around that, as while it was technically great, it didn't do much for me to excite me | Aug 13 18:28 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Meanwhile, everyone is worried about what language is used in the Linux kernel. All white people from what I've been able to gather. | Aug 13 18:29 |
| DaemonFC[m] | They're not talking about the abortion factories in Illinois snuffing out 36,000 more infants per decade. | Aug 13 18:29 |

| DaemonFC[m] | schestowitz: Yeah, they don't want to pay shit for welfare, so they got the Democrats to rev up the abortion factories in Illinois. I'm not factually wrong, am I? | Aug 13 18:31 |
| DaemonFC[m] | So with the Democrats it's abortion on steroids and with the Republicans it's "Here, have all the little monsters you want and live in Gary, Indiana and have fun with that.". | Aug 13 18:32 |
| schestowitz | inequality leads to rots | Aug 13 18:32 |

| schestowitz | start by fixing the system | Aug 13 18:33 |
| schestowitz | looting by the poor will have less incentive leading to it | Aug 13 18:33 |
| DaemonFC[m] | If there's no jobs for them to go to and they just join gangs and carjack people and sling drugs and shoot at each other all day long, what's the point? | Aug 13 18:33 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It's going to be a short life with a violent ending. | Aug 13 18:33 |
| schestowitz | before covid these riots were rarer | Aug 13 18:34 |
| schestowitz | you can see the correlation between poverty/desperation and joining riots | Aug 13 18:34 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It's going to take about 13-14 years of the abortion law being in effect before we even start to see a possible decrease in crime due to it. | Aug 13 18:34 |
| schestowitz | even if that all started as Floyd | Aug 13 18:34 |
| schestowitz | to many there are last straws regardless | Aug 13 18:34 |
| DaemonFC[m] | That's usually when the police start hauling them in for shooting and robbing people. | Aug 13 18:34 |
| DaemonFC[m] | But 13-14 years in and continuing....BAM. | Aug 13 18:35 |
| DaemonFC[m] | 40,000 less criminals who would be there. Crime takes a nosedive. No police having to go in and deal with it and sparking a race war. | Aug 13 18:36 |
| scientes | psydread, Stalin felt the same way | Aug 13 18:36 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It doesn't take too many criminals to upend a city. If you can get hundreds or thousands out of the picture, your crime will drop noticeably. | Aug 13 18:36 |
| scientes | psydread, its a progression. Bach->Mozart->Beethovan->Russian stuff | Aug 13 18:37 |
| DaemonFC[m] | schestowitz: Not really too sure why poor people have so many pregnancies. | Aug 13 18:37 |
| scientes | each felt revolutionary and jarring to what came before | Aug 13 18:37 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Can't they see that they're already fucking poor and on the verge of collapse and going from one payday loan store to the next? | Aug 13 18:37 |
| DaemonFC[m] | What could possibly get better by having kids? | Aug 13 18:38 |
| scientes | and also atonal | Aug 13 18:38 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Whenever the economy gets really bad, the birth rate collapses, but it's always more of a collapse with white people than black and brown. | Aug 13 18:39 |
| DaemonFC[m] | They pretty much go on at like 75% of the rate they did before while with whites it's like half maybe. | Aug 13 18:39 |
| scientes | Beethovan still feels pretty edgey to me | Aug 13 18:40 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Bill Gates is probably more focused on minorities because it's like "What does it even take for people to realize that having kids they cannot afford is ruining them?". | Aug 13 18:40 |

| DaemonFC[m] | I'm glad that the state is losing any control it had over people who have guns as long as they have a 3d printer though. | Aug 13 19:03 |

| DaemonFC[m] | The government here is outraged by 3d printed guns because they're untraceable and you don't have to have a FOID card to get one because you can just make it yourself. | Aug 13 19:04 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Now getting caught with one that's not in FOID is another story entirely. | Aug 13 19:05 |
| DaemonFC[m] | That's a definite leave the gun and take the cannoli situation right there. | Aug 13 19:06 |
| DaemonFC[m] | If you have to shoot someone with it, make sure your fingerprints are wiped off of it, and then toss it in a dumpster or the river or something. | Aug 13 19:07 |

| DaemonFC[m] | Obviously if the police find the murder weapon and not you, it's better than them finding you with the murder weapon. | Aug 13 19:07 |
| DaemonFC[m] | OMG, those people in Chicago are not smart. They'll keep the murder weapon instead of wiping it down and tossing it. | Aug 13 19:09 |
| DaemonFC[m] | So the police eventually catch up with them and they trace the gun back to all sorts of things with ballistics testing and then they throw "illegal firearm" at you too, which oddly enough can only be charged if they find it on you, not if they find it at a crime scene and prove you killed someone with it. | Aug 13 19:10 |

| DaemonFC[m] | How do you think this virus got out of control to begin with. | Aug 13 19:17 |
| DaemonFC[m] | 15 cent movie tickets could end up meaning a $1.5 million dollar hospital stay, if you survive. | Aug 13 19:18 |
| DaemonFC[m] | People in America were already more afraid of getting a hospital bill than dying. | Aug 13 19:20 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I think there was an Onion article a few days ago that said "Low income man bravely fights off paramedics that tried to force him into medical debt.". | Aug 13 19:21 |
| schestowitz | yup | Aug 13 19:21 |
| schestowitz | also, masks are more expensive than this ticket | Aug 13 19:21 |

| DaemonFC[m] | schestowitz: When Austin beat me up last year I went to the hospital even though I was pretty sure I would eventually be okay mostly because I knew how things get when the police start getting involved. I knew that it could just as well end up being charges for domestic battery against both of us, or just me because I'm white. | Aug 13 19:23 |
| DaemonFC[m] | So I let them cart me off to the hospital with an OMG I think my nose might be broken. | Aug 13 19:23 |
| DaemonFC[m] | When it landed on someone's desk, I went to the hospital with injuries and Austin was "evasive and not credible and immediately demanded a lawyer". | Aug 13 19:24 |
| DaemonFC[m] | So he was charged, like it should have been, but I was sitting there with blood pouring out of my nose going "Well, a hospital bill is better than the cops trying to turn this around on me.". | Aug 13 19:24 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Never trust the cops, even when you're the victim and the one who called them. | Aug 13 19:25 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Turned out I had a bigger problem a while later. | Aug 13 19:27 |
| DaemonFC[m] | But while I was filing bankruptcy on all of that mess, I threw in the ambulance, hospital, and doctor's bill from the ER 10 days prior. | Aug 13 19:27 |
| DaemonFC[m] | schestowitz: My PO Box looked like that scene from Harry Potter there were so many bills. | Aug 13 19:28 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I'm still finding them where I just put them somewhere. | Aug 13 19:28 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I'm up to 171 of them so far, but most were like 3-4-6 notices.... | Aug 13 19:28 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It all went to bankruptcy, but geez. | Aug 13 19:29 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I'll be finding these things for months. | Aug 13 19:29 |
| DaemonFC[m] | <schestowitz "also, masks are more expensive t"> Well, if only half the people in there wear one because you're in Florida, they're pointless. | Aug 13 19:30 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It's about keeping the amount of the virus in the air to a minimum so that 3-4 people can't go into a movie theater and infect 50 more. | Aug 13 19:31 |
| DaemonFC[m] | So these "Wear a mask if it makes you feel better." states are never going to have it slow down until everyone has been sick and tearing down the hospital network. | Aug 13 19:32 |
| DaemonFC[m] | There's a reason why round trip airfare to Miami is $20 right now. | Aug 13 19:32 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The planes are being flown mostly empty and they're trying to minimize losses on that route. | Aug 13 19:33 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Nobody wants to go to the "If I get Corona, I get Corona!" state. | Aug 13 19:33 |
| DaemonFC[m] | schestowitz: Governor Pritzker is threatening to lock down Lake, McHenry, and Will counties again if the positive results rate doesn't start going down very soon. | Aug 13 19:34 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It went up again. | Aug 13 19:34 |
| DaemonFC[m] | 6.2% last week. | Aug 13 19:35 |
| DaemonFC[m] | By next week at this rate, we very well could breach 8%, which triggers automatic lockdown. | Aug 13 19:35 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Well, this cutback in federal funds for testing is making it harder for states to game the system by diluting positive test results with a lot of negative test results. | Aug 13 19:37 |
| DaemonFC[m] | So it's backfiring on them badly because they wanted it to tell a narrative and now only the sickest people get a test and it's driving the positive results through the roof. | Aug 13 19:37 |
| DaemonFC[m] | They might be able to hide some cases in children to help them "reopen the schools", but then those kids get it and infect many people and they get really sick, and you can't hide that as well, so the plan backfires. The plan backfires for so many reasons. | Aug 13 19:38 |

| -TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-wgntv.com | FBI investigates IDES debacle after identity theft scam | WGN-TV | Aug 13 19:48 | |
| DaemonFC[m] | Your Social Security Number is probably floating around out there somewhere and all you can really do is try to limit the damage by putting Fraud Alerts on your credit reports each year, every time they expire. | Aug 13 19:49 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The CEO of LifeLock, now part of Symantec, put his real SSN on the TV commercials years ago to tout how confident he was with their paid service (which wasn't anything more than putting Fraud Alerts on your credit reports and then charging you to do it). | Aug 13 19:50 |
| DaemonFC[m] | In the coming years, he was the victim of identity theft hundreds of times and people were taking out credit cards, cell phones. Someone even bought a a Recreational Vehicle using his SSN and it went through. | Aug 13 19:51 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The only thing a Fraud Alert really does is say you think you might have had your identity stolen and anyone who issues credit should call you or demand verification first. In other words, what SHOULD be happening anyway. | Aug 13 19:52 |
| DaemonFC[m] | But without a Fraud Alert, pulling a credit card is as easy as knowing basic details about someone and their SSN. | Aug 13 19:52 |
| DaemonFC[m] | In other words, it's a very crude and limuted form of added security, and banks don't encourage it because then they have to verify who you are before they issue a credit card. | Aug 13 19:54 |
| DaemonFC[m] | If everyone did it, it would cost banks more than the fraud. | Aug 13 19:55 |
| DaemonFC[m] | *limited | Aug 13 19:55 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I have Fraud Alerts on both our accounts because of Maricel, John, and Austin being out there doing who knows what. | Aug 13 19:56 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I don't really want it to reach a point where his sister tries to open a wallet full of fraudulent cards in his name, because while we could go to the police about it, it's a question of whether he'd even pursue it because it was family. So in the end we'd have credit cards his sister charged up that he might not even do anything about, so tempting as it may be to let her do whatever and then go to the police....... | Aug 13 19:59 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Fraud Alert it is. | Aug 13 19:59 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I've kind of got her pegged as a coward anyway. If things are really getting so bad that they're scuttling all of the benefits and perks and not giving people raises and you're lucky if you survive round after round of layoffs. I mean, she's an RN. She could just walk out of there and find another job, even in this economy. So why isn't she? | Aug 13 20:01 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I'm guessing that she accepts it because she knows that they'll put up with her incompetence and toxicity and she's not sure anyone else would, so she's there until things get so bad that they get rid of her. | Aug 13 20:01 |
| DaemonFC[m] | schestowitz: This principle applies anywhere where they are laying people off and cutting salaries and benefits. | Aug 13 20:02 |
| DaemonFC[m] | There will be people who don't even try to do better because they're amazed that they've lasted as long as they have where they are. | Aug 13 20:03 |
| DaemonFC[m] | So you strip yourself down to the people who you shouldn't have there anyway because they're too afraid of change to try to leave. | Aug 13 20:03 |
| DaemonFC[m] | These are generally also the people who have kept their heads down and tried to look busy and avoid offending their bosses. | Aug 13 20:04 |
| DaemonFC[m] | In other words, what you get from them is less than what you could have gotten from the people that you chose to lay off. | Aug 13 20:04 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Companies that play hard rules like "Everyone over 40 loses their jobs no matter what." make it even worse, because what they're willing to pay and what they get for the money makes them operate less efficiently than evaluating individuals. | Aug 13 20:05 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Giving managers the requirement to evaluate subordinates without flexibility to decide what to actually do afterwards is something I've seen creep in at a lot of places. It's not just "Walmart". It's management theory in general. | Aug 13 20:06 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It does serve a purpose. It makes low level managers "the bad guy". | Aug 13 20:07 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It makes people direct their contempt to people who had no choice what to do anyway. | Aug 13 20:07 |
| DaemonFC[m] | If there's an incident, it might literally put low level management in the line of fire. | Aug 13 20:07 |
| DaemonFC[m] | schestowitz: There was an incident at a factory in Aurora last year. (iirc) | Aug 13 20:08 |
| DaemonFC[m] | A guy got fired after a performance review. He came back with a gun and shot and killed the manager who got rid of him and several of his co-workers. | Aug 13 20:08 |
| DaemonFC[m] | 11 people died, but the highest one up was his direct supervisor. | Aug 13 20:09 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I'm pretty sure his supervisor was doing what the plant manager (who survived) told him to do. | Aug 13 20:09 |
| DaemonFC[m] | They push dirty stuff that is going to piss people off down to the lowest level of management possible. | Aug 13 20:09 |
| *swaggboi has quit (Quit: C-x C-c) | Aug 13 20:10 | |
| DaemonFC[m] | When people snap, they usually turn their rage on the last people who pissed them off, even though it could be many, many people who dealt them setbacks. | Aug 13 20:11 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I've studied psychology enough to know basic personality types. | Aug 13 20:11 |
| DaemonFC[m] | So, Maricel as "Why would anyone put up with that when they have qualifications and they could storm out and do a hell of a lot better than no raise, 1% retirement match, and higher insurance premiums?". She's one of those people who is careful about who she offends. When she wants to vent anger at others, she just bottles it up and then lets loose on people who she doesn't think can do anything about her. | Aug 13 20:14 |
| DaemonFC[m] | She knows her incompetence, which tells me that she's smart enough to know she isn't smart and to second guess actions. | Aug 13 20:15 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Oddly, this holds people back. Stupid people who are very confident become the president, even. | Aug 13 20:15 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The economy here is shit, but they are still hiring nurses. | Aug 13 20:16 |

| DaemonFC[m] | Stay in an office job where you're a politician and dead weight that gets crammed into the patient's bill silently until this subsides. | Aug 13 20:17 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Coward, in so many ways. She lies, she deceives, she does criminal activity but only when she thinks nobody is watching her. | Aug 13 20:18 |
| DaemonFC[m] | That's the thing about committing crimes. Nobody ever does know they're under investigation until the handcuffs come out. | Aug 13 20:18 |
| DaemonFC[m] | On any particular occasion you might get away with it. Eventually you'll slip up. Nobody makes it through this world without leaving a digital trail of whatever they do. | Aug 13 20:20 |
| DaemonFC[m] | schestowitz: If you look at the Rick Jones case file, he openly admits that he did it for over 10 years, and since there were VHS tapes, I'm guessing that, in truth, it went back much further than 2004. | Aug 13 20:21 |
| DaemonFC[m] | In 2004, VCRs were already obsolete. It was getting hard to even find one, although there were a few combo players that also worked with DVDs. | Aug 13 20:21 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I think the last big budget movie on VHS was out in early 2004 and then Hollywood basically quit the format. | Aug 13 20:23 |
| DaemonFC[m] | You could find blank tapes at Walmart until maybe 2006 or so, but that got harder to find until there were none. | Aug 13 20:24 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Anyway, what disgusted me the most about that case was that what he admitted to was so bad that the 90 days in jail sentence was contemptible. | Aug 13 20:25 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It's no wonder that Contempt of Court has to be a crime. The court issues rulings every single day that invite contempt from everyone. | Aug 13 20:26 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It has to "make itself appear legitimate" by make it a crime to openly talk about how rotten and messed up the judges and prosecutors are. | Aug 13 20:26 |
| DaemonFC[m] | They'd have to bring back the death penalty in Illinois to sufficiently punish how much contempt I have for the court in Lake County. | Aug 13 20:27 |
| DaemonFC[m] | When I was talking to my attorney, John Milford, in Marion, Indiana one time, he said "Address the judge as 'Your honor.'." Then he said, "I actually know very few judges who are honorable, but that's beside the point.". I said, "Aren't you a judge on this court too?". | Aug 13 20:29 |
| DaemonFC[m] | He smiles at me. | Aug 13 20:29 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I mean, like, you know. There's this judge in Huntington County, Indiana.... Jeffrey Heffelfinger. | Aug 13 20:30 |
| DaemonFC[m] | A Republican. Although......he hooks up with men for sex and he drives around while drunk all the time and the cops let him go because he's a judge. | Aug 13 20:30 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Then Monday through Friday, 9-5, he gets to try drunk driving cases from the bench. | Aug 13 20:31 |
| DaemonFC[m] | There's absolutely nothing you can do about it in Indiana. There's no retention system. It's lifetime appointment, except if the state actually impeached him. If it hasn't in the last 30 years, it probably never will. | Aug 13 20:32 |
| DaemonFC[m] | schestowitz: I have no confidence in any of the judges anywhere. | Aug 13 20:33 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Every time it asks me if they should retain their office, I have a whole bag of NO for them. | Aug 13 20:33 |
| DaemonFC[m] | So, same time this year! | Aug 13 20:33 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Get rid of them all. Send a message. You're not sending messages if you're not voting. | Aug 13 20:34 |
| DaemonFC[m] | You can't vote if you're a felon or you don't bother to take time out of your busy schedule while there's 50% unemployment in Chicago. | Aug 13 20:35 |

| DaemonFC[m] | MinceR: I came across a case a few years ago where a priest in Chicago got busted for kiddie porn. | Aug 13 20:36 |
| DaemonFC[m] | He downloaded from his home IP address using Ares and the news actually mentioned "the open source peer to peer program called Ares". | Aug 13 20:37 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It turns out that this sparked an investigation by an "Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force: in the Chicago Police Department. Guessing the FBI or someone was monitoring the Ares network, and when they log the IP addresses they forward them to the local police to investigate. | Aug 13 20:38 |
| DaemonFC[m] | schestowitz: MinceR I'm guessing that the Illinois State Police _could_ easily monitor a bittorrent swarm to see if you share DEFCAD files. | Aug 13 20:39 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It's the same principle really. "Redistributing plans for unlicensed guns.". | Aug 13 20:39 |
| DaemonFC[m] | That's a paddlin'. | Aug 13 20:39 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Of course, leave it to the state to try to take away a right enshrined in the constitution by spying on people and depriving them of their right to share speech and art. | Aug 13 20:40 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Maybe defcad should become a religion and declare their blueprints a holy book. | Aug 13 20:40 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I'm trying to figure out if Illinois or another state has gone after people for sharing defcad files. | Aug 13 20:41 |
| DaemonFC[m] | You know, not printing guns, but just sharing the files. | Aug 13 20:41 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Even if it's not technically a crime, they'll figure something to charge you with. They always do. | Aug 13 20:42 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Maybe one of the people on the swarm happens to be a felon and you gave plans for a "weapon of mass destruction" (whatever those are) to a convicted felon. | Aug 13 20:43 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I'd tread lightly on this one if you want those plans. | Aug 13 20:43 |

| DaemonFC[m] | It would be easy to get ammunition for a 3d printed gun. While you have to have a FOID card to buy it in Illinois, you could go to some other state and buy as much as you want. It would still be a FOID law violation if you come back to Illinois with it. | Aug 13 20:45 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Buying a gun out of state would be illegal under federal law, without shipping it to a FFL dealer in your home state. | Aug 13 20:45 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Ammunition is easy. So once you 3d printed a gun you could just buy all the ammo you wanted someplace else. | Aug 13 20:46 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It's not technically illegal at the federal level to 3d print a gun, but you do have to include some metal parts in it so it will set off a metal detector. | Aug 13 20:47 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Also, it can't be fully automatic and legal, even though you could 3d print a firing pin that is fully automatic. | Aug 13 20:48 |

| DaemonFC[m] | In any case where even 1 day in jail is a possibility, if you're poor, the court has to assign you a lawyer, but Indiana still charges you for this. | Aug 13 20:53 |
| DaemonFC[m] | In State vs. Ryan J Farmer, Indiana charged the defendant like $380 for a "Pauper Defense" fee. | Aug 13 20:53 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Yeah, it's cash register justice in full force over in Indiana. Granted a private lawyer would have charged him like $10,000 for a felony. | Aug 13 20:55 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The state seems to charge a sliding scale over there for the Public Pretender. | Aug 13 20:56 |
| DaemonFC[m] | So while the guy is researching your case for 5 minutes and then falls asleep in court, you're paying for that. To give the state a fig leaf and say you had representation. | Aug 13 20:56 |

| schestowitz | can we focus on something not your life story? | Aug 13 21:00 |
| DaemonFC[m] | schestowitz: I was openly wondering how states are monitoring file sharing of CAD files for guns. | Aug 13 21:01 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I support sharing those files now especially with what's going on in Illinois. The state itself is on the verge of collapsing. It's overrun with criminals. If the police do come out it's to watch the crime happen. | Aug 13 21:01 |
| DaemonFC[m] | They won't admit it, but the Federal Reserve Municipal Bond Emergency Fund is a backdoor bailout for Illinois that does an end run around Congress because they're terrified of what having an entire state that NOBODY will lend to failing will do. | Aug 13 21:02 |
| DaemonFC[m] | They made the interest rates on this fund so bad that your state would have to be Illinois for it to make sense to use it. | Aug 13 21:04 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Whether people would like to admit it or not, Illinois is being bailed out by the Central Bank, with loans that will never be paid back because the entire point of the Central Bank lending to you is that nobody else will. | Aug 13 21:04 |
| DaemonFC[m] | So instead of admitting that the state has failed this year, it'll be next year, maybe. | Aug 13 21:05 |
| DaemonFC[m] | There's the news openly admitting that Chicago has become so terrible everywhere overnight from the pandemic that all the people who have means to pay taxes are debating whether they can get out with their teeth. | Aug 13 21:06 |
| *TTwrs has quit (Quit: Leaving) | Aug 13 21:08 | |
| DaemonFC[m] | The chit and chat around the water cooler on Zerohedge and some other sites where people can still speak freely about what's on their mind is that they're really hoping that these wealthy SJWs won't come to their state and make it the next New York or Illinois (or Detroit). | Aug 13 21:08 |
| DaemonFC[m] | This all rather reminds me about the EU inflicting Austerity on Greece in return for bailouts. Policies that do not help the Euro or the EU, and make no logical policy sense. | Aug 13 21:11 |
| DaemonFC[m] | No hard demands yet on Illinois, but they're coming. | Aug 13 21:11 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Actually, the parallels are rather striking. | Aug 13 21:13 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The only massive employment program in Illinois with job security and pensions are government jobs. | Aug 13 21:14 |
| DaemonFC[m] | So when the banks come calling with a list of austerity demands in exchange for further bailouts, it's going to be "Do something about your public sector, now!". | Aug 13 21:14 |

| DaemonFC[m] | Oh, there's a technology angle here. | Aug 13 22:26 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Despite cameras everywhere, facial recognition, and predictive crime software, the best the Chicago police can do is ask people to help identify the looters. | Aug 13 22:27 |
| DaemonFC[m] | They put out an email address to send tips to. Tempting, but mocking the police is not really that smart even if they probably wouldn't ever figure it out. | Aug 13 22:28 |
| DaemonFC[m] | schestowitz: But they told us that cameras and AI were a great investment for taxpayer money, even though it's so bad that it doesn't really work. | Aug 13 22:28 |
| DaemonFC[m] | You have to wonder how many actual cops they lost so that they could pay $26 million dollars (last I checked) for "Minority Report" (which doesn't even work). | Aug 13 22:29 |

| kingoffrance | lots of ppl have many theories, but ive yet to see anyone dig up the public domain version | Aug 13 22:36 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Of course, the thing is that on the original disk, it was made that way on purpose so that the "error" happens predictably and the setup program knows how it will happen. | Aug 13 22:36 |
| DaemonFC[m] | If you copy it over onto a blank disk, the error won't copy over quite right, and the setup program will abort. | Aug 13 22:36 |

| DaemonFC[m] | The more technical explanation is that the error has to occur on a particular sector, and the setup program will ignore that. | Aug 13 22:37 |

| schestowitz | <blockquote> | Aug 13 23:52 |
| schestowitz | <p>At issue is the classification of ride-hailing drivers as independent contractors, which Uber and Lyft say most drivers prefer because of the flexibility and ability to set their own hours. But labor unions and elected officials contend this deprives them of traditional benefits like health insurance and workers’ compensation. Earlier this week, Uber and Lyft were ordered by a California superior court judge to | Aug 13 23:52 |
| schestowitz | classify their drivers as employees. Both companies have said they would appeal the ruling, which was stayed for 10 days. </p> | Aug 13 23:52 |
| schestowitz | <p> But if their appeals fail, Lyft may join Uber in closing up shop in California, the company’s president John Zimmer said. “If our efforts here are not successful it would force us to suspend operations in California,” Zimmer said on a call announcing the second quarter earnings of 2020. “Fortunately, California voters can make their voices heard by voting yes on Prop 22 in November.” </p></blockquote>< | Aug 13 23:52 |

| DaemonFC[m] | Uber drivers really aren't doing that bad if you consider they don't have to wait for a license and pay the government $100,000. | Aug 13 23:56 |
| DaemonFC[m] | That's a big subsidy to the driver right there. | Aug 13 23:56 |
