It is a lot of time and it is possible in trying to knock a bad tooth out with a rock they inadvertently gouged the infection out and the penny dropped.

There is that, but in a more general sense I think people like conspiracies because they have a deep need to believe that there is an intelligent direction to human affairs, even if it is malign, and that the world is not actually chaotic and uncontrolled at the largest scale. It stems I suppose from infancy when even while we pushed at them we needed to know the unfathomable rules our parents set came from a better understanding of things than was available to us.

I wonder if this is a good interpretation of the fossil because I can understand pulling it out but without knowing the science drilling into a painful and infected tooth is quite counter-intuitive.

The only containers I have are Tupperware, are they secure do you know.

And Herod’s first wife was called Doris.

Certainly at the time there was talk of coercion, there was talk the developers had been asked to put in a backdoor, had refused and then been encouraged to cease and desist their work on TrueCrypt and provide written recommendation of BitLocker, the wording of which did not seem to be their own. But people like conspiracies, maybe the authors did just move on, and if that was encouraged it probably was not as sinister as suggested. Security and privacy will always be duking it out.

You mean that thing everyone knew about since the authorities derailed open-source TrueCrypt and forced them to message their users that they should migrate to BitLocker?

This has a real Darwinian feel to it, if you open your finances to AI models just generally then you probably have it coming. That said twenty years ago giving free access to your bank account to something like Google Wallet would have been unthinkable yet here we are.

Would that it were so simple.

It is almost like non technical people who can not follow technical advice are making all the decisions.

It is not amid the Iran war it is amid the inability of the population to select effective leadership.

Is that near the axis of godforsakeness.

Yes the last 250 years.

Poor US always on the wrong side recently, and with such good intentions too.

Remember it is likely Trump will lose office or possibly shuffle off before it is complete and then all the truth will out and everyone will deny following the regime, meanwhile you will be halfway through building Hitler High-rise.

I think the size of the lines and origin dots being used would allow the angle of any of those lines to be varied and converge or not converge. The worst case is the dinosaur foot where a different toe is selected in the mirror image than in the real. Perspective is largely numeric and you might assume AI to get that right, where AI falls down and therefore where to differentiate it is in its understanding of the objects in the image, so grossly a sixth finger or upsidedown tap. The dinosaur figurine has a phantom limb placed on its back in the mirror image, the paving in the shadows picture looks like mats laid over each other and in the soldier image they are illogically chained.

Not all but a lot of those blue lines seem to be quite randomly drawn.

It is a flavour I have not tasted, a colour I have not seen and an argument I can not think of so I convince myself of this.

Voting has the effect of allowing the population to feel they are steering the ship when actually they are swabbing the decks.

You seem to be labouring under the misapprehension that the vast sweep of the common people have any power over the decisions that govern their lives at all, beyond the doomsday power of revolution. Which is hardly ever used because of the mess.
