Zoom has caught a lot of (deserving) flack for its insecurity, which inaugurated the pandemic with an epidemic of "zoombombing" by trolls. Things got worse when we learned that the company had lied about its encryption.

But since then, the company has made great strides in improving its security, including adding real, end-to-end encryption to its meetings (for paid customers). This means that no one, not even Zoom itself, can spy on those meetings without an invitation.

2/
But when it comes to UNPAID meetings, there is no such privacy. The company can spy on everything you do in those meetings. When asked to explain this discrepancy, Zoom CEO (and newly minted billionaire) Eric Yuan was refreshingly frank.

Dressing up cops like they're on patrol in Mosul isn't just a bad policing, it's also incredibly expensive.

@markerslinger did some rough calculations, using the gear visible on US cops and checking prices with Security Pro USA's bargain/sale page.

The total he came to, $854, is a lowball estimate, but even so, it's more than enough to outfit 55 front-line health-care workers in top-of-the-range PPE.

Neoclassical economists bang on about "revealed preferences" - say that you shouldn't listen to what people say about their economic choices, but rather what they do.

Amid all the bad-faith cherry-picking of MLK's speeches on nonviolent resistance as a means of dismissing the valid and necessary anger in America's streets, there's a real question: why do some protests include property damage and violence, and what can be done about it?

1/ Image
Let's start with when and whether "violent" protests work. Many people have cited the massive, nonviolent South Korean protests of 2016 as evidence that peaceful protest is, in and of itself, sufficient to create political change.

2/
But as @AskAKorean points out, these were the culmination of years of violent clashes between protesters and police. The "peaceful" protests of 2016 arose from increasing police violence in suppressing the more muscular protests that preceded them.
