The trouble is, many people are in the machine and get crushed when the wrench breaks the machinery.

And that’s not even a joke. Helping people in this situation, without harming other innocent people, is possible - but it’s hard work!

But for ordinary drivers, it’s great.

Thing is, consider Google maps. It’s been harvesting data secretly and openly for a long time. I vaguely remember a time when Street View cars were found to be harvesting WiFi information in Australia and their response was, “oops, our engineers made a mistake.” Yeah, right.

But, Google maps is an amazing tool. All that traffic info? All those time estimates? Maybe it’s worth it. Maybe if people knew what they were providing, and the result they’d get, they’d still be happy to give all that “free” data to Google.

Putting aside the ethics of a company taking (stealing? or shall we call it, pirating?) all the ownership of that knowledge asset, if they make a really useful tool from it perhaps Pokémon players will be glad to have been part of such an epic achievement.

I presume the idea is to generate a base idea with ai then correct it with real time data.

Like the way go AI has one part to make a ‘policy’ of moves and a second part to simulate (‘read’) the results of those moves many steps ahead.

If someone gives you a heavy bookcase wrong, also instant crush.

Oh! I thought the joke was that you, the reader, are colourblind because it all looks red.

Syncthing is great!

“No, doc, I came here in a time machine, that you built!”

Or… It’s a flying red herring!!

Look at this idiot here, not understanding the herring’s natural state to swim up slipperiness.

Well then this proves it!

It depends if votes put someone above the law. The king isn’t above the law… but is the electorate?

So the argument for this is, Trump has committed a crime (‘breach’? ‘abuse’?) that makes him unfit to govern, and even the authority of the majority doesn’t have the power to elect him, without first changing the law.*

If the people, by this vote, have authority above the law, then I think that would make you right - but in that case shouldn’t it mean other ineligible candidates (such as non American citizens) must become eligible, because if the majority votes them in, then the authority of the majority vote trumps the old law?

*Obviously this depends on said judgement being correct.

So essentially, Colorado voters can’t add to Trump’s support for either the Republican nomination, or for the presidency?

For the Republican nomination, though, isn’t the party a private organisation, such that they can fudge their results - e.g. by discounting Colorado’s votes altogether or by informally surveying the state? Or are they held legally to democratic voting to choose their candidate?

I understand that if they do nominate Trump nationwide, it means the state of Colorado can’t vote for him - but they’re unlikely to anyway, right? So it means zero loss for Trump? Unless other states follow suit. (And the loss of face.)

If only, after shattering glass houses, we could get some politicians to build proper ones.

“I’ll huff, and I’ll puff, and I’ll throw stones into your sorry glass house.”

But the sixty-third little piggy actually lived a life of honesty, so the wolf had to raise a mob to burn down the good piggy’s house.

Once he was back in power, the wolf quickly made laws to make it impossible to live other than in a glass house. Then he felt equal again.

…oops, that story didn’t end up quite as I planned.
