I think it depends on what forces caused the extinction. Overhunting? We can solve for that in some places. Loss of habitat? Sounds more difficult to deal with. Ships running over ocean mammals? Only going to get worse. Plastics causing young to die off? Press F.

The company is paying for this prime real estate in Cambridge or in Seattle or in wherever, and if you aren't in the office, then our investment is for naught.

I haven't seen it, but I'll get around to it at some point. My thoughts on the film are only based on what I've seen in the media, and it seems like the young actress has discovered that a handler / social media manager can be appropriate when working for a major studio. I don't think the movie can recover financially from a bad launch.

Even if a system could re-order itself, that would not be time travel, time still moves forward. We can slow change, and we can reorder things, but the change still happened. The study of time is fine, but I get very tired of the idea that time travel could be possible. It simply isn't.

Time is simply our perception of change in the universe. Things change, and there is no process which would cause things to change in reverse. Time doesn't flow in any direction, and time travel is not possible. It is fun for science fiction, but isn't really rational.

I recently put together a security system running Blue Iris and bought a bunch of really cheap used HGST drives in the 10 to 12 TB range. They're great for footage that will likely never be looked at, but the few times I've wanted to move a large file, the speed of file transfer was really disappointing. Obviously it is hard to improve this due to physical characteristics of drives, but it seems like little to no advancement has happened in a long time in regard to read write speeds.

Surely, more tax revenue will fix this.

A likely story. More at 11.

Take a pick: Armed police everywhere or cameras tracking every move. Maybe we will just have both?

With calls to defund law enforcement, the police have a very good argument to use the cameras.

I miss the pre-smartphone internet.

Your Trump Derangement Syndrome is showing.

Shielded electronics. Then what?

Your logical fallacy assumes that freedom and restraint are also mutually exclusive, which they are NOT.

Their bottom line would beg to differ.
