The author has some interesting articles about the Ukrainian War.

Any reasonably fair news coverage is considered left wing now-a-days.


which ideologies?


Weird strategy from Hashicorp. The amount of code that they claimed was infringed is tiny. And from what I can tell, is not algorithmically significant. It's such small ball.


What a convenient way to dismiss all data.


How much more would you pay?


Sure sure but when it turns out 90% of crime is from 11 people it stops making sense to pass laws punishing all people of a certain class and/or giving police incredible amounts of power with little or no oversight.


These charts really show how overblown the murder/car theft issues are now. Higher than pre-pandemic yes, but still relatively low.


Relatively low...meaning slightly lower than 1994, when crime was so high that even black community leaders called for more police, and then Senator Joe Biden wrote "the largest crime bill in the history of the United States" that funded 100,000 more police officers and $10 billion for additional prisons.

But up 50% from the early 2010s.


Yes so stop freaking out over relatively low crime. Remember the lessons from that time.


Lowering Crime was the lesson I took away from it.


How do you lower crime?


Reduction in the rate of murders seems like a good metric.


a 50% rise in murder rate represent thousands of people I don't think we should discount it. I also think the rise in theft that people talk about anecdotally effects how people feel about living in cities. The us accepts a very large amount of disorder and that effects the overall trust in the society.

Just an FYI. Crime is awful. If your poor and your stuff gets stolen that devastating having to pay more to secure you belongings is a real burden. Nothing makes an area poor like crime. The single most valuable things governments do is law and order the fact that we forgot that in 2020 should be distressing to everyone.


We didn't forget that in 2020. An increase in crime is a pretty normal side effect of a global pandemic. We are lucky that it stayed so tame despite police not doing their jobs because they are pissy about having some accountability.


The UK did not experience a surge in murders despite also experiencing a pandemic.

Neither did Kuwait. Canada, however, did have an increase. Global rates overall did increase.


That 13.68% is given with no context. Which issues, specifically did Devin solve? Any 3rd party verification?


what?
