But they still can track the cellular connection and do triangulation from that, no? Basically, if you have any cell phone the government can track you. Buying a burner phone with cash (via strawman proxy) seems like the only way to tempo

Please note that my objective in this discussion is to try and reach some sort of consensus, and that text communication can easily be misconstrued even when both parties know each other and are "on the same side". The situation w

This is what you get when you prize personal loyalty over competence. This issue is the one thing that gives me some hope that they can be ousted -- they are collectively too stupid and motivated only by their self interests to hold their p

Extrapolating from what we have to where AI/Automation is going, it seems like UBI would need to be embraced. The only way that could ever happen would be for all stakeholders to collaborate and map out a transition plan. Considering

That approach is not without merit, however, it's still a possible dead end. I see this pattern happen consistently even with really good engineers: * Identify a problem and design a solution for it * Apply the solution and it
