News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

I feel like there is a bad sci-fi story here, where an Oligarch lies over and over and robs people blind. The revolution happens, and then instead of the guillotine, the Oligarch is beheaded by a chainsaw. The executioner will arrive in a Cybertruck.

So, the FBI is lying to us? Color me shocked!

If you haven't been following another story involving the FBI, there is CRAZY stuff happening regarding the Charlie Kirk assassination. The story is NOT just about the FBI either lying or being completely incompetent (my guess is both). The story is that this is being dissected in real time and by outsiders from the traditional media outlets. This is the first event of this significance (a Reich-stag or Pearl Harbor or 9/11) where we have thousands of videos and alternative media channels with hundreds of thousands or millions of subscribers, podcasters who are directly communicating with sources and their viewers. And, this questioning of the official FBI narrative is happening on the right and the left, with Candace Owens and Steve Bannon saying forceful things about the implausibility of the FBI story alongside leftist like IHIT. THIS HAS NOT HAPPENED EVER BEFORE.

Spending an hour watching these videos is worth your time to understand what this means. Nothing like this has ever happened in modern times in the US. Do not get distracted by the mainstream media ignoring this. If you are worried about the gruesome nature of this, these videos do not provide graphic imagery.

900k views in less than five days, shows how the official FBI narrative is IMPOSSIBLE.

2.7M views in 4 days. This shows the two videos of the deposition, one of which was altered in a very small but significant way and then broadcast on TV. If we accept Occam's Razor and look for simple explanations, how and why did a TV station receive a video with four blended feeds that was slightly but very significantly different than another one, within hours of that deposition?

Not generally a fan of Candace Owens, but this video documents and shows video of a Turning Point employee taking the sd card out of the camera behind the podium, violating a crime scene, within minutes of his boss' assassination. She says she spoke to this employee on the phone.

The video (756k views) discusses a high level Turning Point employee saying the coroner told him Charlie Kirk's bone density was that of superman and there was no exit wound, violating HIPAA and the laws of physics, and later videos posted below that show the bullet did exit.

The video (with 4.6M views in one day) shows a video of the shooting where the trajectory of the bullet proves that Tyler Robinson could not have been the shooter if the FBI story is that he was on the roof and it was actually him in the other videos jumping off the roof.

Exhausted by all this? Take a break by watching a comedian discussing the text messages and how implausible they are. Did you stop reading because a comedian has no right to dissect this topic effectively? This is the same EXACT thing that Steve Bannon (right), Candace Owens (right) and IHIT (left) are saying (860k views in three days, https://youtu.be/2JWyifMqvhA?si=LhOr83WCdUKDGb-Q). His video has 450k views in four days.

It speaks to the fact the Internet is countering in real time the official narrative in insane ways. Taken in totality, there are so many things that speak to a much greater and scarier truth. I don't know what that is but I personally do not believe anything the FBI is saying right now.

Ask HN: Good US-based accounting firm that does not “drip” price you?

For a long while my partner in our business has done the books himself. We avoided using a bookkeeper and accountant, engaging with them often when it was too late. We found that we often were not paying the correct corporate taxes, payroll taxes, etc.We have since migrated to using a payroll service, and are now using "XXX" as an accounting company.I get the sense that they are drip pricing...

Re:Ask HN: Have you been laid off? on Wednesday March 18, 2020 @05:30PM (#22621437)
Does anyone have advice on what to do if you think your company will lay you off? For example, would it be best to get laid off, then immediately seek unemployment? Or, best to negotiate NOW for a severance package that includes healthcare in hopes of your boss thinking that is a better option for them? Or, resign for some reason?

Ask HN: How to invite a silent partner into startup with significant equity?

My friend is a highly connected AND very technical salesperson. A year ago he approached me with a radical idea: there is a sea change happening in his industry that will force companies to abandon existing software infrastructure, and he had an idea that addresses this sea change in a way that does not force his customers to make billion dollar reinvestments in their networks and handles with...
