I just read the story about the Italian kidnapped by a New York couple and tortured to disclose the credentials for his crypto assets - and the first thing that came to mind was XKCD 538 "Security" about the five dollar wrench.
Am I a bad person?

Theoretical study on ambient pressure superconductivity in La$_3$Ni$_2$O$_7$ thin films : structural analysis, model construction, and robustness of $s\pm$-wave pairing
We theoretically study ambient pressure superconductivity in thin films of La$_3$Ni$_2$O$_7$. We construct model Hamiltonians adopting the crystal structure theoretically determined by fixing the in-plane lattice constant to those substrates examined in the experiment. We also construct a model based on the experimentally determined lattice structure. To the models obtained, we apply the fluctuation exchange approximation, which takes into account the full momentum and frequency dependencies of…

Stability of soluble surfactant-laden falling film over a hydrophobic incline in the presence of external shear
The hydrodynamic stability analysis of gravity-driven, soluble surfactant-laden fluid streaming down a slippery, slanted plane in the presence of external shear force is being explored in this article. The Navier-Stokes equations are considered for the fluid flow along with the appropriate advection-diffusion equations for the concentration of different surfactant species. The monomers considered here are anticipated to dissolve in the bulk flow and can be adsorbed at the interface of air-liqui…

After Marks and Spencer refused to say whether it paid a ransom, the UK's Home Office proposes that businesses will have to notify the government if they plan on paying a ransom to cyber criminals under new proposals.

It seems like, again, just following the plain logic of the Constitution and Declaration of Independence (which, again, I do not subscribe to), that every law passed under Trump, every supreme court justice appointment by Trump, every supreme court ruling by Trump appointed justices, all the illegal firing, etc, must all, necessarily, be null and void.
And if not following from the insurrection act, or from the oath of office, then following from the Declaration of Independence itself. The logic here being that a constitution is a contract between the people and their government, which the later upholds in order to maintain its legal status. The violation of said laws by the government violates "consent of the governed" (which, again, I have issues with the concept entirely but we're just going to ignore that) and therefore nullifies the authority of that government, granting " the right of the people to alter or to abolish it."
That seems a lot like the hard reset some folks have been looking for. Given that existing flaws allowed this state to be reached, it would also be necessary for the true authority to correct those mistakes before assuming authority that derives from these principles.
Now, personally, I don't subscribe to any of this logic but it's interesting to explore, as an outsider, where the logic goes.
