FYI: You can record your police interactions on an iphone in a way that they will have a hard time turning off – as well as having the screen off

⋅

I just found out a neat trick that allows you to record video on iphone with the screen off, and that requires a special couple of keypresses to turn the recording off, meaning the cops will have trouble turning it off if they take your phone. The likeliest use case I can see for this is if you are pulled over in a car, and you set your phone in the cupholder or something to record without police […]

The Pentagon Keeps Losing Equipment and Buying Stuff It Doesn’t Need

⋅

Keeping track of inventory is hard for any large organization. Workers misplace items, administrators fill out the wrong paperwork, and things just go missing. But losing $85 million in inventory? That’s a job for the U.S. military. In 2023, the Government Accountability Office revealed that a government contractor had lost 2 million spare parts for the F-35 fighter jet, together worth tens of millions of dollars, since 2018. The Department of Defense followed up on only 20,000 of those parts. […]

⋅

It’s no surprise to anyone that the public school system does a terrible job of preparing students for financial success in a capitalist economy.

Rent Free will be here to cover them all. As policymakers go about considering reforms aimed at making their cities more affordable, it’s important to understand what success will look like.

Illegal Immigrants in Georgia Have a Low Incarceration Rate

Illegal Immigrants in Georgia Have a Low Incarceration Rate

⋅

Alex Nowrasteh High-profile crimes committed by illegal immigrants dominate the headlines, but the available evidence shows that illegal immigrants are less likely to be criminals than native-born Americans. The federal government rightly seeks to exclude criminal illegal immigrants from the United States and remove those who commit crimes here. However, the good news is that illegal immigrants have a significantly lower crime rate than native-born Americans, whether you measure by estimates of nationwide incarceration rates, arrest rates, or […]
