Well that’s one layer, but when you decode a url, you’re probably going to get a url, and then it’s going to go to that url

So now you just made them to to a website. What’s there? Whatever you want. Maybe you ask them for Facebook/Google/GitHub or whatever authorization to see their name and email, which a lot of people would do. Then redirect them to a page saying “now I know who you are, delete the photo, <user>”

Or you could send them a payload based on fingerprinting their request, you could give them a fake page to steal their password, etc

It seems unlikely… The vessel wasn’t up to the challenge of anywhere near that depth, and they intended to go that deep from the get go.

I mean, it could be, but Bluetooth shouldn’t work like that - it’s a digital signal with a bunch of failure modes in the spec. You’d have to code it particularly stupidly to have that kind of problem - it’s a very time-synched protocol, even a sudden disconnect with no disconnect signal is something a coder would have to confront explicitly if they were using off the shelf components

I’m not one to bet against bad code, but the decompression seemed to be pretty much instant and within the planned trip, it just seems like it doesn’t survive oscams razor

Nah, the shell cracked, pretty much instant death. Dodgy tech works until it doesn’t, only the first critical failure matters

They also make touch vests, integrate with vibrators, and probably have even wilder accessories these days

Fair, but I think our understandings of mob rule differ

To me, mob rule isn’t just mobs with pitchforks, it’s when people get so upset by injustice, they turn to violence. Humans are naturally very averse to killing, even in war, with their lives on the line, most people struggle to kill (hence the psychological techniques like dehumanization and tearing people down until they can follow orders without thinking much)

Imagine a feudal lord who works his people to death. To me, a knife in the back or poison in the wine is mob rule, assuming it’s organic and/or the people tacitly support it by closing ranks around the assassin

It’s anarchy, which is not the absence of rules, but the absence of explicit laws. Is the natural human state - we don’t need laws from the state or from sky daddy to get along.

Laws create clear lines (theoretically), which say “if you’re on this side you’re safe”

Mob rule means “if you piss people off so bad they turn on you, you suffer the consequences”. You don’t get clear lines to exploit, you don’t get to hide behind bureaucracy…you’re just responsible for your actions in a very organic way

All of them, this is a QuickTime event. You have to feel out what they’re looking for. You have to hit the buttons in order and with the right timing

First - that sucks. Show empathy and active listening, see if they have more to say. Let them get it out

Next - you have to decide, are they more upset, or more stressed

Upset - story time, show sympathy. Keep it light on the details, and don’t try to draw comparisons - keep it at the emotional level.
Then advice time - again, keep it brief and vague

Stressed - advice, lay out options rapid fire and see if they latch onto any. If they don’t, story time - tell them about similar situations, without drawing emotional comparisons, where you got past it more easily than expected

The way I see it, this was just another shooting. Except, instead of targeting innocents or literal children, it was someone who actually played some part in making them so desperate

And in the first 48 hours, the adjuster did more to shake the health insurance racket than decades of the public demanding change.

They say we need the rule of law, otherwise we just have mob rule… But maybe it’s worth wondering if mob rule isn’t as bad as it’s cracked up to be

On one hand, I kinda get it. Corporations do things, and if they get killed over small oversights there will be very real effects for many people

On the other hand, holy fuck, look around. Everything is going to shit, the planet is literally dying and we’re not even living it up anymore
