If it's okay to go through a major civic building, destroy things along the way, and injure or kill a few people in the name of civil disobedience, it should be fine to knock down some cameras. Perhaps you should even be able to claim some expenses for it.

Yeah.

They completely ignore panserpmia.

They just quote Isaac Asimov's writing from almost half a century ago (Europa). Ignores Enceladus, Titan, Venus, Mars; all of which have *BIOSIGNATURES* of a probability curve not too dissimilar to Europa.

They are likely a dilettante. Those folks do not do "prior art" research because they believe in the Auteur Myth.

  "An auteur is a filmmaker whose personal style and thematic focus are so distinctive that they are considered the 'author' of their films, a concept known as the auteur myth."

Real science isn't that. Real science is a rational discipline. The null hypothesis -- know what that means. Prior art -- know what that means. Mental biases -- know those, too; you'll see what you want to see, hear what you want to hear. Science is the discipline of mind that ensures you're not just spewing random nonsense. You verify what you think; that's the discipline.

As Isaac Newton said ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... ), "nani gigantum humeris insidentes."

Ignore them.

Everything seems obvious once it is explained.

Why do 12-14 steps of algebra, when calculus works in 2?

Obvious. People should know calculus.

Yet they don't.

Define Green's Theorem: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... -- is obvious.

Everything is obvious *IN HINDSIGHT*.

Way to bust that stereotype. :)

I only needed the first five words to get the dopamine hit. We're long past the point where it matters if purpose of the tariff is reasonable or valid. Even if this tariff is defensible. - and maybe it is - it's still like the blindfolded kid speared the donkey. Because even then, he'll try again and miss. And it's just entertainment now. Damaging... but still entertaining.

No... but I see what you did there. :)

Their system is built on symbiotic relationships, but their current behavior is swinging to parasitic. They are overwhelming their host.

They should expect to get throttled - indeed they should strategically throttle themselves. Keep to high value bugs and pace them. Expecting that the bounty well should be infinitely drawn from at max rate without consequence isn't reasonable.

Except tuition is basically free for Mexican citizens while the travel and accommodation certainly will not be. This isn't the US where all schools are outrageously expensive.

Seriously. Just don't. If it ever behaves weirdly as a dumb TV, sneaker walk a firmware update on USB if it supports it. Or plug in a physical cable to do the update, then disconnect it. A cheap streaming stick will do apps better than the inbuilt POS ever will anyway.

"Reflective Prompting" pattern. Generally done with a second agent that consumes the output of the first.

Expensive, prone to concluding violations occurred even when they didn't (the desire to please is real), and dangerous to rely on.

Which part of "people are afraid they might get fired if they don't go along with it" do you not get? You seem to think there is no problem with this, but if this is OK, where does it stop? Is it OK to have the highest sales punch the person with the lowest sales? Can they sexually assault them after they are tied to the chair (and why did they have to be tied to a chair if everyone was on board with this)? Where does this assault you think is OK turn into assault you think is not OK?

Except you are ignoring the fact this is your boss telling you this. Sure, maybe you can say you aren't comfortable with it and nothing happens. Or maybe you say you are uncomfortable with it and the boss looks for a reason to fire you because you "aren't a good fit with the culture". If a group of friends do this, it is good fun. When your boss does it, it is assault and workplace coercion.

No upgrades on any devices until prices return to same levels for ram and storage. And if that means years, then so be it. My phones, tablets, and desktops are all fine, and I have enough parts and last-gen components and devices in my graveyard to ride out a few hardware failures.

I paid $600 for 128GB of DDR5. I'll be damned if I'll pay more for less.

"He's not under any compulsion to give a password is he? They had the phone, nothing forced the authorities to trust anything he said....they could have tried forensics like they'd do if they had a safe and tried a safecracker to get in if the suspect didn't want to give the combination."

This is the interesting part to me. He definitely could not be compelled to give them his password (legally). So the fact he offered them a password could be covered under freedom of speech. Depending on what was said, lying to the police can be a crime, especially when it could be considered obstruction of justice. Did they just ask for a PIN and he provided a PIN? Did he say the PIN would unlock the device when it would actually wipe it? It could also show he intended to destroy anything on the device, and while they can't prove there was anything incriminating on the device, it could still be considered evidence as it was data for an investigation. There are a lot of different paths I can see this going down.

Whenever you paint a group of millions with a single brush, you're already hopelessly lost. But I can tell two things from your posts. You aren't rational, and you're willing to talk the longest, believing that doing so means you win. So good luck to you.
