"you may be able to get the big picture narrative far enough to win over a few ISIS aligned folks or at least mitigate risk of others joining"
So long as ISIS and other groups have leaders who intend to oppress others, and are able to recruit replacements to fill their ranks, the evil continues.
First, call them out for what they are. Evil.
Then, kill or imprison them to at least stop their evil actions.
Finally, call out their beliefs that they use to justify their evil actions.
Pretending they should be understood as people who 'think they are working for a good cause' is dangerous. They do their evil consciously. Unless they can be discouraged or convinced otherwise, this continues. So far, successful discouragement has taken the form of killing or imprisoning them. You are aware of an alternative that works?
The true view of "morons" is that the world is not broken down into the simple black and white camps of the good guys and the bad guys.
Evil is not good. If you are uncomfortable with that reality, at least do not prevent others from protecting themselves from evil, and you also if they choose to.
And if you cling to the notion that the world cannot be divided into neat camps of 'good' and 'evil', you are partly correct. There is the third camp, 'neither', which when confronted with evil may cringe and freeze. If the 'neithers' however try to disclaim 'evil', they are part of the problem.
Evil is real, and to deny it is to risk not merely becoming a victim, but permitting it to expand and continue.
'Good', 'bad', these sometimes are choices, but often are other names for 'good' and 'evil'.
" religion like any other dogma is what leads to the extremists views"
And Christian extremist views are, what, advocating for different things, the verb being 'advocate', not 'engage', as in 'engage in violence'?
Christian - inspired violence is so rare as be not merely exceptional, but aberrant. Christians are, sadly, humans, and do engage in violence, but such violence is rarely in the name of their faith. Most other organized religions are also largely non violent, and like Christianity are so because that is a core tenet of their theologies.
"Then all others are wrong and if they don't accept it they must be punished in some way."
Christians believe and teach that such punishment is for their God to exact. Most other religions seem to believe similarly, where they preach punishment at all - some do not.
There is, however, one religion that teaches violence against all non believers, and even against their own who are insufficiently devout. This religion is, sadly, alone against the world. Sadly, because it will cause great suffering to defeat them.
And you know the name of this religion. Play games, engage in logic puzzles, minimize and excuse it all you want, it is so. To not call them by their name and for what they are is to permit them to continue to kill and oppress.
Ditto here. In fact, my two brothers and two sisters all share with me SSNs that are a total of 8 digits apart. Only the last digits are different.
In the 70s two banks helpfully changed my SSN, believing it was an error, merging my checking account with hers. Great fun undoing that. I never did business with either bank again, and until I moved out West we checked before changing banks.
Duplicate and assumed SSNs should be resolved, but won't be for reasons already expressed. But then we need to secure our borders before we discuss amnesty. You shouldn't be ordering off the menu if you have no idea how much it will cost, unles you don't care.
Much simpler to form an escape party of 20-50 fellow inmates.
You will be among the last to cross the moat. Inmates are cheaper even than urine, and in the melee it won't be evident who actually offered the bribe and who was the bribe. Hop a freighter to Hong Kong, build a new identity, start over.
Probably want to set up a simple pipeline system and back up the crocs with flaming oil. Yo do not need the prisoners' DNA.
Functionality has become battle #1 for many, many IT people. Manageability has become battle #1 for many, many IT people.
Your statement is specious. IT has many, many challenges. Security isn't the only one, and may not even be the most important one for some subsets of IT industry. IT is not a monolith.
And when security becomes a sufficient impediment to make functionality decreased, it has then only succeeded in defeating the purpose.
ps - when you can describe an absolute security solution, you have solved a finite security problem. The next security problem then puts the lie to that. Security is not an event, nor is it a task, It is a process.
I live in Gilbert Arizona now, and we go back to Ogunquit each summer. I have one Moxie left in the fridge.
I was born in Bangor, moved south to Portland etc., married, moved to Arizona 10 years ago. In South Portland we had prolific high bush blueberries, regular trips to Ferry Beach, lobster rolls out to Pine Point.
What you running for? I can't vote for ya, but msg me.
I'd rather have an HP-41C. Even without the card reader.
But I would settle for my Pickett rule. Yellow aluminum, leather case, magnificent to me in high school. Dropped it once, not a bit of alignment problems. At the time the attraction was it was the longer version of the one sent up on Apollo missions, or something like that.
And multiplying 3 x 2 gave the answer 6, with sufficient precision to be useful. Only an idiot would multiply two whole integers and not discard the apparent decimals... Multiplying larger integers wasn't so hard. Square roots were really useful.
My phone's car dock comes with a cable that has resistors in it signal the dock is connected.
Purpose specific. Works. Your premise is invalid, for any reason. Resistors are sometimes signalling devices in USB, and why would USB-C make more sense?
This is the HDMI and Lightning debacle all over again, to soak us for $.

I thought that sort of run around ended with Itanium. Wow.
You apparently don't know where some of the Paris attackers were living recently...

Then you cling to the 4th, and 5th amendments, among others even.
Of course none of these protect you from being a fool.

2010, extending the cuts of 2003.
But to the government, 'income' can also be borrowing.
If you can;'t ask for it, you can;'t be sure you will get it.
If you can't resist, it can be taken from you.
If you are forced to admit the government into your home, you will not be able to speak freely nor defend yourself,even in your own home.
If you can be searched without reason, and your property confiscated without cause, you will not be free to read what you want nor defend yourself.
The First and Second Amendments were not just idle concepts, even back then.
Frikin insufferable Libertarians everywhere.

Everything that doesn't bait Republicans and Conservatives does, by default, bait liberals, Democrats, and all others.
It is not spring in the Arctic. It's nearly winter, cooling quickly and darkening fast.
You're thinking of the Antarctic.
Not a lot above Rangely. I try to explain to people the horrible cell coverage. No phones. Good luck on the election!

In the US Democrats assure us that election fraud is nonexistent, unles Republicans commit it. DeKalb county is not Republican.
Electronic voting in the US can only serve to enable fraud. It solves no problem.
Shhh...

Easy if you understand the equation. Any two values and all.
But with the slide rule, how did you decide to choose a particular pair of values? Choose one and find the other? Pretty much the same process.
16" woof.
Ivory? No, more likely celluloid over wood, older ones mahogany, newer ones bamboo.
Ivory rulers were common apparently in the early part of the 1900s.

Moxie makes most everything excellent...
In the Android world Cyanogen is merely the best known of the ROM makers. Buy a phone you can root.
Apple users, sit back and enjoy the movies,.

Moxie. No, blissfully not a cola.
