Right.

And how many civilians do you know that can do that? But we let them anyway. I know sysadmins whose knowledge of CVEs amounts to a "what's that?" answer.

The sales efforts to ensure that we're all using SaaS, popular websites, and social media with new bright shiny stuff that can store photos, too, all makes everyone fail to remember that these machines are loaded with their assets, and they need to understand them to protect those assets. Nah, you make more money by selling them a new hard drive and some AV stuff.

Sorry-- I never explain conspiracy when sloth and making another buck is the better explanation.

I disagree with all, and Tesla didn't get a good shake at all, IMHO. Tesla's not god, but they didn't get a fair shake.

And there's a future network to avoid like the plague. Here's a violent, nasty hustler, bare on facts (see his madness with the Tesla for a good example), and at most a boor and bore. Oh, right......

Everyone wants growth, but there are limits. Sustainability helps increase them, but eventually, the limits will be found. No one wants to talk about population control, which is the smarter idea-- and is fought by our biological drives.

Ummm, no. Although this happens, an increasing amount of silage and dark waters have contaminated many crops, and not just in CA. Were we to actually PROCESS the silage in a way that stanches e.coli, salmonella, protozoa, and other contaminants ranging from aspergillus to non-fungals and unknowns, a vast amount of efficiencies increase.

The best idea, IMHO, is to deploy widely sustainable practices that involve the highly fluctuating variables of rain, market fluctuations, and yields. Too much of this revolves around dice-rolling techniques, and "I'm gonna be rich if I plant a few orchards" mentality. No one likes the edicts of public policy, but simple planning goes a long way towards sustainability.

Our current opaque public policy mechanisms prohibit this.

They're *your* assets, CDs, pics, but also the personal bits about your identity. What's your identity worth?

Are not, rather.

Except people who commit crimes don't really care all that much about the punishment. Harsher sentences don't lead to reduction in crime. Criminals are the kinds of people who think, "Hey, what's the punishment for killing somebody?"

I think you're onto (on) something. ;)

You're a very broken person, but I suspect you know this.
