    These idiots were running around the Capitol in full view - and ironically because they detest the COVID face mask orders - so the datasets will be there to compare against. I wonder if they even remotely understand how the mathematics of eigenvalues will put them in prison.

    What made you think these people were intelligent? There was a video on UK news this morning of a woman who seemed surprised and hurt that she had been maced and pushed out, after forcing her way into the building.

      FTFY And no, this isn't a slight on Trumps counting system, or the US election at all. It's a swipe at the intelligence of people who gather in large groups, not wearing masks, during a pandemic that appears to be getting worse, and attempt to storm a building that is going to be well and truly covered in armed, trained security as well as cameras ... :doh: TBH, it's a miracle that any of them survived.

        I don't think the OP was expressing 'outrage'. I think it was an observation on the stupidity of trying to effect a coup, without wearing a mask.

          Where was the outrage when BLM and Antifa burned and destroyed hundreds of buildings and businesses throughout America? Where was the question of intelligence, then?

            It's pointless to waste the manpower identifying and tracking these people down. Remember when BLM were looting stores and burning whole neighbourhoods to the ground, storming police stations and setting them on fire with people still inside? When they were caught they were simply let free right away to continue peacefully protesting the very next night.

                      I would be astonished if the NSA, the FBI, or even the Washington DC police department did not have access to such software. Whether the political will to use it exists is another matter.

                      If God had meant them to know about eigenvalues, they would be named in English, as God intended. After all, if English was good enough for God to write the Bible in, it's certainly good enough for mathematicians. :laugh:

                          You don't need the qualifier "not wearing masks" in there; people gathering in large groups during a global pandemic are displaying all the intelligence of a tuna sandwich. Because, you see, masks limit the amount of infection sprayed into the air, it doesn't remove it completely, so having a few hundred people gathered together with masks on is not that much better than a few hundred people without masks on.

                              Make that christian white skin. You did see those T-shirts? Also, in very many, perhaps the majority, of cases, the BLM marchers were heavily if not mainly white. Certainly following Floyd's murder. However - I propose a different thing altogether. Just "whose side are you on?" and how that reflects in the mentality of the police force(s) as a whole. I don't don't the crackdown may have come sooner if the rioters "didn't look like me" from the cop's point of view. Or better, "vote like me". (I used the first version as an attempt at the irony of the incredible racism the first statement implies - and it's acceptable for "some people" to use such expressions). Sides may, certainly in urban areas, lay upon a racial divide. They had plenty of warning so perhaps we need fall back onto occam's razor and go for the simple solution: it was allowed to happen not because of anything racial but purely political. Now, of course, let's add to he fire: a perceived show of strength by the far right or as a mechanism to disgrace them by the far left? Conspiracy theories - egalitarian reality !
