Yeah, it sounds like the real problem is lack of off-site backups. Bad password policies will certainly make it easier for ransomware gangs, but they're not the only thing that has to go wrong.

When you say "public transit", does that include bus lines, or only rail?

I've been really enjoying Kagi.

My guess is that was someone who was in the car, which could be responsible for the erratic driving that resulted in such a horrific situation. That's just a guess, though.

I think I've got right around there where I'm living now; that's part of what makes it hard to contemplate leaving the country, even though this place (US) is turning pretty terrifying: I know if I leave it'll take years to build up friendships like that again, if it ever even happens.

Nah, go there and then start organizing with the warehouse workers to get them paid as much as you're being paid to do their job.

How would that work? The President is the only one who can issue pardons, I thought.

Scheduling would not be fine; under HIPAA "provision of healthcare" is considered PHI, so knowing that person x had their care at a certain time and place would be a problem.

I'll throw in an answer from a different angle: social deduction games can be incredibly rules-light while still maintaining a lot of complexity. Resistance, for example, has not too many more rules than Go, but games can get deeply complex as players try to figure out who the spies are.

The big difference is of course that the complexity offered by something like Resistance is the product of imperfect information and willful deception, which means that a good ability to read people (or conversely, to lie) can be at least as important as strategic mastery.
