As an American burdened by an over-abundance of empathy, I find myself engulfed in a myriad of anxieties that I am having trouble dealing with. I have a layman's understanding of world history, and I can't stop thinking about one of the later scenes from Schindler's List, wherein the German citizens downwind of a concentration camp were forced to help clean-up rubble because they had committed the crime of indifference and inaction while adjacent to horrific crimes against humanity.

I feel a strong urge to turn my head for my own sanity, which of course is one of the desired outcomes of this 'flood the zone' strategy that these New Nazis have deployed. I will not turn my head.

The problem is that I have things to lose and I'm in a class that will mostly be unaffected by most of their actions, other than inflation and instability, so I'm kind of just constantly checking the news and hoping that those with more to lose actually do something to stop this madness. I have a feeling that many of us, as engineers or otherwise, are in the same boat.

So my question is, what can I do to be civilly disobedient and inflict harm on this insane movement without imperiling myself, or those that I love? I personally don't know where my line is for imperiling myself, or those that I love and I would rather not find out.

Is anyone else struggling with this?

If their claim is true, then would that present an issue to RSA encryption? I find it difficult to find information on this topic that is digestible to a layman.

My understanding is that the benefit of quantum computing is parallelism, and I'm not sure how today's encryption standards would be safe from brute force attacks.

Marketing: Your vision will be much better, but the downside is that you're going to need to eat two pints of ice cream every day. Or if you want to lose weight, just eat one pint of ice cream every day.

So you just put #flashcards inline (or whatever you tell it to look for) at the bottom if your file.

And then:

This is a question::this is the answer. This is another question::this is another answer.

I run through my cards about 30 minutes before I start work. It works very well.

Made the account easier to be hacked? Yes, probably. That would be my assumption. Changed password, changed MFA, changed owner e-mail, etc. They no longer have a real support team, but I'm sure the support mechanisms are still all in place.

Feels like something Elon would orchestrate for the purposes of trolling the SEC.

I'm knee-deep in Apple's ecosystem, because I like all of their other products, but I can't use iMessage because I prefer to use a PC. This has been a thorn in my side for years.

There can be only one reason that iMessage is available on Apple devices exclusively and it's at least antitrust adjacent. For this alone, I hope they get fined a gigantic amount of money.
