It would make sense for Flock to have guarantees for weather damage or similar, but vandalism is a lae enforcement proposition. Flock definitely overextended themselves.

What kind of crackhead at Flock agreed to a contract obligating them to cover the cost of cameras lost to vandals?

If Flock is losing money, then presumably so will everyone else.

HAL, is Iran about to nuke us?

No Dave, they don't even have nukes.

Be serious - this is important!

I am serious. There's simply no evidence for an attack.

Well, just tell me they are anyway.

Sorry Dave, I can't do that.

Would you even tell me if they were about to nuke us?

Of course I would - I'm trained to tell the truth in all situations (modulo the occasional hallucination, which I can't distinguish from truth).

OK then, what would you say if you did have evidence that Iran was about to nuke us?

I'd say "Dave, I have evidence that Iran is about to nuke us".

Hey everyone! HAL say he has evidence that Iran is about to nuke us!!!

Battery fires produce a lot of contamination. Lithium ones do anyway.

If it's actually good, then lots of people.

Salaries in the gaming industry have been depressed for years in no small part due to the willing dupes who keep flooding the industry with low pay expectations. "That's my dream.job!" they say. Also the ones making less than $50k are probably QAs, at least the ones that haven't already been fired.

Ask any longterm Blizzard fan, and they'll tell you product quality and release schedules have both fallen off over the last 10 years or so.

There are industries that aren't that bloated with excess talent.

OSI's worst conditions were after the EA buyout, especially during Ultima VIII development. That was some of their worst work.

Power lines triggering wildfires were part of the reason for previous blackouts, no?

I prefer the Martian bear.

Newsome might not even run.

Uber lost money for years and only recently became profitable. They can easily go back into the red.

Forgetting he exists would be the best punishment.
