Here's a complete refutation of your argument: Pretti did not attempt to "de-arrest" anyone at any point. Nobody, not even ICE, DHS, the White House, or the FBI has argued this.

Whoever told you this made it up. You should stop listening to whoever told you that. They are lying to you about this, and everything else they have told you is a lie too.


You are completely out of touch with what the immigration policy of the last democratic government (Biden 2020) was.

It was aggressive, it was inhumane, and immigrants were killed despite a massive effort by people from "the left" to feed and clothe people who were detained in open fields or between two border fences without any care being provided by the US agencies detaining them.

Maybe you are right that nobody who is right-leaning trusts that the US democratic party isn't pro border enforcement and anti immigration, but that's based purely on lies and propaganda.


you can always try the plastic bag + vacuum cleaner trick - take a thin flexible rope, tie it to a small plastic bag, stuff the small plastic bag into the conduit, use a vacuum cleaner at the other end to suck the plastic bag & rope through. You can then use the rope to pull through new cable. If you make the rope twice the length of the conduit, you can keep it in there indefinitely to pull through new cable whenever you want.


This is an unreasonably effective way of running cables. The first time I used it it felt like magic with how quick and painless it was.

That's absolutely great! Worked like a charm two days ago and everybody cheered and laughed who saw it :-D


No - the obvious play here is for Amazon to undercut the original vendors by 15%, sell at a loss until all of the sales go through Amazon, and then pressure the vendors into cutting their pricing and becoming suppliers subservient to and dependent on Amazon, allowing Amazon to become a middle-man dipping into the revenue stream.


But then brands could buy their own products back for cheaper and just get a real life infinite money glitch?


This actually happened to some restaurants who found their service on DoorDash. The restaurant owners were able to make a fine profit out of DoorDash’s arbitrage scheme.


Indeed! Discussed at the time: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23216852


It's worth pointing out that it only worked because doordash scraped their menu incorrectly (using AI maybe?) and used the price of a plain pizza for specialty pizzas. Also it was a trial period where they waved all their usual fees.


Don’t worry. If Amazon decided to undercut by selling at a loss, they would absolutely put it in their ToS that retailers cannot exploit this loophole and they would sue to enforce their ToS.


Retailers could put into their TOS that they are exempt from those clauses when buying things bought from them.


I like this. “By purchasing from us you agree that you cannot enforce your ridiculous terms of service and if you try, you also owe us a pony.”


These manufacturers never signed any ToS, and the most Amazon could do to retaliate would be to de-list the product that they never asked to be listed in the first place.


When the manufacturer buys their own product via Amazon’s service they would become subject to their TOS as a buyer.


I guess they'll just have to use some service to buy for them instead. ;)


It looks like a good idea, this works better for refrigerators than pizza.


gait recognition is a pseudoscience. this is also obvious from the way it is used: to fabricate a pretext to detain undesirables.

Your citation appears to directly contradict your argument. How did this happen?


My citation explains that Michael Hart was the founder of PG, and the foundation that Newby headed didn't even exist until 02000. Newby would never in his life have wanted people to think that he had founded PG!

I've edited my comment above to make it clearer what its central argument is, since you seem to have misunderstood either the argument or the quote.


Sad that my first thought was "AI".


This isn't about an aws account, this is about the auth inside the project that user is running.


FYI: pjb goes by she/her.


Thanks, I'd forgotten that. Can't edit the comment anymore.


> a lot of the fear that ordinarily motivates the rest of us

No, that seems like mostly you. Most people are not motivated by fear.
