It's not just the government printing money though. A major part is the stock market "printing" money by wild overvaluation of company stocks.

This is what happens when you think you can skip the environmental assessment:

> “We had wolves coming into the village because all the wild animals moved out of the forest,” Anni Ranta, a resident of Otanmaki, told The Guardian. “They fled.”

> If the US or any other country had no military, ANY country could invade it

Please explain what would happen if the US had no military and Andorra decided to invade?

Which makes it useless to protect against this type of scam. The script will just change from "I'll exploit my current mark" to "I'll prepare my current mark to be vulnerable and then sell it on".

Everybody owns them except the US voters.
You are misrepresenting the premise. The premise is "if you found a bug with a COTS toolkit, others using the same toolkit may also find this bug easily". The second assumption is that many people are using the same COTS toolkit, which seems uncontested in my eyes as there's only a handful models in wide circulation.

Over what time interval?
"Every neighbourhood" is still a local problem, and can be solved locally. A grenade-lobbing device in australia can not reach 1 Microsoft Way, Redmond with multiple hits per second, nor do we have the resources to produce such artillery at the rate of multiple per second. Any analogy that you want to extend into the real world has to acknowledge these real-world limitations in more than just a footnote, or it's not a useful simile.

You're not protecting democracy either by letting people vote on a party that aims to undermine said democracy.

I don't think tux was ever included in the mainline kernel. It was closer to a proof-of-concept than a serious http server alternative.

It is nonsensical to ask someone to define the terms they're using?

I see you willfully ignored my second question. Let me guess, the bogeymen you're referring to include the ones eating the cats and dogs, but exclude the ones eating the babies? If you want to be heard, it would benefit you to make an actual coherent argument instead of just some vapid handwaving.

You think this domestic spy program will help dismantle "internationalist oligarchs"? Can you explain who those people are, and how this program will further that goal?

How many Americans have guns and actually oppose this government? Remember that only 32% actually voted for the "other guy", and I suspect the 68% carry more guns on average than the 32%. Plus, they've already deputized many of those in defense of the regime (through ICE) and released and/or shielded many others (through pardons).

How many computing operations occurred during the creation of Toy Story? Are you telling me they did not control every single one of them?
> their actions [..] were motivated by wanting to cover up cheating after cheating to pass an eval.

Which to me raises another question: why is the agent involved in its own evaluation? Why are they relying on self-reporting instead of observation and analysis?

Not even that is required, you just need one other person that has both numbers linked to the same contact on their phone.

This is a category error. "memory" is not a computer, so the existence of ECC proves nothing about computers. Concrete is not deterministic in the real world either, and we're still able to control the shape of structures and make them last for centuries.

Engineering is the science of quantifying risks and costs. If you're not able to quantify the important aspects of a design before constructing it, it's not engineering.
Where does it say it is a sans-serif font? The very first full sentence on the page starts with "Iosevka is an open-source, sans-serif + slab-serif, monospace + quasi‑proportional typeface family", just like the title here says "sans-serif and slab-serif".

That link [1] is an absolutely awful page from a usability perspective. There's no other way to navigate the site than with the scroll wheel, and the amount of scrolling required makes my finger hurt before I've even reached the end of the first segment. It also has no anchors and does not remember reading position when refreshing or navigating back.
> These systems are internet connected and remotely controllable because [reasons]

I understand why it's beneficial to have these systems connected to a network. You have not explained why that network has to be the Internet, and TFA is one reason why it shouldn't be.

> Google Maps, Google Pay

That's not the Android experience, that's the Google experience.

That's because many laws already in place don't take effect until 2027. They purposely delayed their activation until after the midterms.
By your numbers, 31.8% of eligible voters actively voted in favor of fascism, and 36.3% of eligible voters chose to let it happen. That's 68.1% of voters that allowed your country to be turned into a shithole.
Not categorically though: an infinite loop does not contain a branch.
