HIPAA should be a road block for this. If they allow it, what is next AIDS and herpes badges?

HIPAA doesn't prevent you from talking about your own medical procedures. This is just a voluntary badge you can put on your profile.

HIPAA only applies to "covered entities" (e.g. healthcare providers). It's why your employer is allowed to ask about your COVID vaccination status (even if they are also a healthcare provider).

Here is one recent one who wasn't doing it for profit: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Austin_serial_bombings he wasn't killed by the police (directly) and he killed some people. The story of Dagobert wouldn't be as amusing if people died, but he did hurt people and caused psychological harm. Real people worked in those stores and other stores like them. The legal system has very little to do with justice, but I have no sympathy for someone placing explosives and hurting people, no matter the remorse.

I respect your moral stance.

It's hard to compare the serial bombings in your link to the Dagoberto ones. The Austin ones all seem to be attempted murders, not extortion of large companies. I suppose that could mean the Austin bomber should actually be more likely to be killed by police. But, another big difference is that the Austin bomber wasn't humiliating the police the way Dagobert was.

Hard to speculate how it would go down, but I doubt the police would blast down a high profile suspect. The higher your profile, the more professional and high ranking your adversaries are going to be.

That’s a violent murderer, not a good comparison. Colton Harris Moore may be a better analogue: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colton_Harris_Moore

Needs more turtles. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turtle_graphics

Many years ago I wrote a program to convert images into Python scripts containing "turtle" commands. It's mostly a "cheat" based on "penup" and "GOTO(x, y)", but it can certainly be extended with smarter routing and optimisation algorithms: http://chriswarbo.net/projects/turtleview

American English is to English as a Second Lanaguage as Typescript is to Javascript. We claim it is a superset, but the rules are different and it is unnecessarily verbose in all the wrong places.

Time for a constitutional amendment to curb non-consensual government. State and federal government should have a generational opt in.

We have have that every two years: it’s called elections.

Elections for senators and governors are, or at least are more valid: no electoral college and no gerrymandering of districts. Of course, vote suppression is still there, and simply lying, but it's an improvement.

Also, not all states are equally gerrymandered. Vermont and Wyoming each have a single representative, so they have no electoral boundaries to manipulate. And California uses a non-partisan electoral commission to adjust electoral boundaries. In states where redistricting is still a partisan process it is not all equally shameless.

States are typically gerrymandered on the state representation (state legislature) level as well as with federal congressional districts.

I'm guessing it would be less intrusive to adjust the district boundary process to try and reduce gerrymandering. And perhaps adjusting the voting process to something more reflective of values than first-past-the-post.

Redrawing state boundaries is a much bigger deal.

I suppose they wouldn’t be if your entire electoral profit and loss statement comes down to one seat in the goddamned House of Representatives and we are all slaves to lines on a map because those lines, those lines are destiny.

But srswtf123, seriously, wtf? You tell me how many offices you were asked to fill in the last ballot you filled out and how many completely asinine laws you were asked to vote yes or no on. Constitutional amendments are two points if you got any of those on your ballot. In my neck of the woods, the locals love sticking complete crap in our constitution to keep it outside the reach of State courts.

MA few states don’t practice gerrymandering; eg Washington and California both use non partisan or bi-partisan redistricting committees (so legislative majorities don’t matter).

Once I had to solve a memory problem because someone assigned what should have been a byte array to a list of byte. Nice enough programmer for high level concepts but needed the fundamentals. I think a good skills assessment is needed and then you patch the missing knowledge. A smart resource who can learn and is nice to work with is still a good hire.
