What a great way for your nation's military to develop tactics for warfare so that they can be AI analyzed by a commercial 3rd party in the cloud for sale to other nations.

Maybe have the special forces use Strava while you're at it.

Glueing the rice on the raisins was bound to end badly

I think the intro math classes are college level, they just haven't typically been needed for STEM applicants.

so when one of these is launched at you as a weapon can it be pushed aside in self defense or is that assault on an officer ?

I realize, it's a hard problem, but maybe a government can help in general with clamping down on bots, it seems they cause a lot of problems, not just in ticket markets.

Maybe governments could issue bot licences, then when they see an unlicensed bot, or a bot doing something outside the scope of its license they can at least try to remedy, either technical or legal (or military !)

I fly occasionally, where do I collect my $500k per infraction ?

It must surely matter how the weight is attached and distributed too, I'm sure a bee could not carry 80% of its weight as a point load on one leg. The adhesive might also mess with the animal.

I suspect all the scientists will find out is that 3 grains of rice are enough to mess with the flight dynamics of a monarch butterfly. If it was no big deal I suspect nature would have already made the butterflies bigger

No, save it on a disk drive and toss that into a landfill - pretty secure I hear

Maybe they should tow the island to warmer waters

yes, and that's why pretty much all of the leadership in all parties supported that nonsense - because they wanted to be kings.

Imagine a truly valued employee watching one of his colleagues scoop up 3yrs of salary on his way out the door having been refused the package themselves because "wouldn't want to lose you". It's going to lead to some resentment unless they are also offering a 36 month retention bonus.

Something good did come out of releasing the Epstein files
