Decentralized control is probably the biggest asset we have to fight back against these issues. Each instance host has motivation to keep their community in the best shape possible, for users and visitors.

If one instance is having struggles, you can migrate to another - and instance hosts could share tactics and information about the process of management.

I always found it fascinating to learn about the things I used in my life worked, because as a kid I loved learning to take things apart, mod, and put them back together. But there never seems to be enough time to study and understand everything, because most devices we use are over-engineered (read: repair hostile), so I can't ever think about becoming a jack of all trades like my family members are.

Electronics, yes. Mechanical, no. I have to pay someone else to help me.

Reminds me about that line in World War Z (Max Brooks)

(Paraphrasing) "Some survivors were frustrated with the assignments they were given. A lady who was a former TV exec was furious that she was assigned to a janitorial unit, led by someone who's lifetime salary she made in a month!

For people like her, you didn't have to worry about fixing a plumbing issue or cleaning your home. She just hired someone else to do it, because she made money talking on the phone, and the more people she hired, the more time she could spend talking on the phone. After the Great Panic, nobody bothered to use phones anymore. There were no TV contracts that needed to be made, but there were toilets that needed work, and floors to clean. In a strange way, the blue collar workers outranked their "superiors" in importance to the community. We needed mechanics, engineers, HVAC workers, plumbers. We had those people of course, but there was never enough of them."

Cancelation between a numerator and denominator can only occur when both terms are multiplied as a whole, not simply added.

In this case, the polynomial at the top needs to be converted to the root multiplication that lead to it: (x+1)^2, and the denominator needs to complete the square: (x-1)(x+1)+4, which would still be unable to have terms canceled (as there is still addition in the denominator that cannot be removed), so the original form is the valid answer.

It's a common thing drilled into students during these courses that you cannot simply cancel out terms at will - you have to modify polynomials first.

Unfortunately, I fear that that the first 3 options would lead to something similar to a Waco-ATF incident. Civilians simply cannot surmount a force that has permission to use modern military equipment against the populace. It would be far more likely that the city would be burned to the ground, and each "law enforcer" would be acquitted in a federal court.

I do believe there is a possibility that a hostile public would make things difficult for ICE, but realistically protected emigration would be the most successful solution. Even though I dont want to leave California, I may have to emigrate with the others to stay alive.

Man, I'm saddened that this is not visible to more people. The people at NASA have achieved amazing things for all of us.

Airbenders?
