I called out ShareMySims specifically for making woke-bigoted statements in the original thread about these ghost clowns. Maybe narrow-progressive is a better term.

Either way, I 100% agree that dressing up as ghosts to go and vote is a stupid thing to do.

Do you have any evidence this was election interference? If not, this is speculation and a conspiracy theory.

A stance can be both woke and bigoted. One example that COP exhibited is assuming that US race relations are universal around the world. It's often from well meaning folks that just have a very narrow perspective.

Just admit when you're wrong and stop the woke-bigotry

It's scary how quickly people assume conspiracy

I'm not arguing they should be wearing masks in a polling station

I think it’s reasonable to expect people in a voting location to be clearly visible and recognizable

I agree (in most cases). I'm arguing that these folks are more likely stupid than malicious.

By that logic the Pope and the Michelin man look like a members of the KKK

This is a bit of hyperbole. If there where trying to intimidate voters they wouldn't dress up like ghosts. Stay vigilant but didn't label everything as a conspiracy, some people are just stupid.

edit: I don't live in the US but I have spent a lot of time there. The vast majority of Americans are great people. From an outside perspective, it's a little disturbing to see how quickly this thread devolved into conspiracy. Hanlon's razor and all that. Focus on the many actual threats to US democracy instead of paranoid ghost hunting.

We need shared definitions to tell meaningful stories with our data. And then use a company specific example like how a customer's journey can not be understood with differing definition between marketing and sales. The marketing team can't measure the quality of the leads they're producing unless they can directly link a customer's whole journey from acquisition to churn. Otherwise it's just vanity metrics. But don't be too harsh, vanity metrics are really common in business. A company needs strong data leadership to create a culture of using data to justify decisions to a culture of using data to inform decisions.

Lol, I think that was BTKFS but maybe I should switch just to be safe

I normally use ext4 or btrfs and I like my wife so I won't make the switch

Lol, yes he was surprised by the police and search parties 😅

So pot plants have somewhere to die

Well I was 5 and my friend's dad drove me home

Maybe this is outside of the thought experiment but I would focus on digitization. Text compresses very well and you can fit 100Gb on a CD sized disc with an estimated 50+ years lifespan (m-disc). So you could easily fit over 30 million text only books on a single 100 disc spindle which is the size of 3 small physical books. Add some redundancy and it might be 25 million books. Books with images would be slightly less compressible but you could still fit 100s of thousands on a single spindle with redundancy. Get yourself a small bar sized wine fridge to control humidity and you could probably fit every book every made in there.

This all assumes you want to preserve the content of the books and not the books themselves. You obviously can't digitize every aspect of a physical book like the ornate artwork on the spine etc. in which case I would focus my preserving efforts on those books and digitize everything else.

What about AI agents that do shoplifting for you?

Yeah, I'm sure it's for auditing and being able to respond to freedom of information requests etc

I'm sorry about your grandmother. Given she had a stocked liquor cabinet for guests shows she was a thoughtful person. I hope you found some great memories in her belongings.
