In the context of the 18th-century document, the word was well understood to mean "not erased by human judgements nor actions". As in, shooting someone doesn't "alienate" their right to not be shot. Also, that's not what "schizophrenic" means.

Welcome to HN. This comment is so unwelcome here it's ridiculous. Before you barge in, have the courtesy to synchronise with the ethos. If you are a sockpuppet account, then why do you feel the need? If you want to insult people, you can do it more effectively on Facebook.

Yeah studies show most people don't actually have morals and just rationalize whatevers convenient at the time

Ukraine is fighting a defensive war. The US isn’t.

Which makes it even more confusing why someone would be hesitant to support the Ukraine military but not the US military.

Worked on a very basic level with my Logi webcam, but couldn't get it to detect my MX Master 4 despite a few attempts. A shame, I'd love to escape Logi+ for a feature-parity solution.

I'm afraid you're in the wrong thread

Hahhh.. Thank you.

> I expected to read about legal threats against the folks collecting this data and am glad that those didn't materialize. That's because the author folded over and played nice. Imagine if he exercised his first amendment rights.

There are no rights, there are only privileges (that can be revoked at any time), regardless of which country you live in. That is the brutal truth

It is the brutal truth for an atheist, but not for most people.

(I am an atheist, but I believe a logically derived set of rights can largely be agreed upon. These are, however, sadly still just an agreement.)
