Agreed. Though I'd point out this it's an incredibly long time to leave the infrastructure in place when there is active planning of further violence taking place on the platform.


IF that was actually the case then law enforcement would be involved and Parler would follow their instructions. As they have in the past.


Law enforcement are involved; they were photographed at the capitol assisting the invaders.


Apparently the cop that shot and killed an unarmed women didn’t get the memo.


A mob was literally breaking in the room where the VP and other politicians were. Yelling that "Pence must die" ( on some of them videos).

You can literally see some messages that were on Parler in the articles were Amazon, is banning Parler: https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/johnpaczkowski/amazon-p... . That's crazy talk


Setting up their future as a patent troll as well.


Underrated comment


I went to school here. The PRT was a staple of transit and culture. Being a 70's proof of concept, maintenance and retrofitting were a way of life. The cars were also controlled by DTMF tones that would play over the vehicle loudspeaker.

I also recall one professor telling me that after they could no longer repair the mechanical parts of the PDPs that ran the system, they programmed an emulator that ran on a pentium III but the software itself never changed. The hardest part of the emulation was apparently getting the timing correct as the original system simply ran at the max speed for the original hardware.

Every few years that PRT would have a problem and in addition to getting outside consultation, they'd have a context in the engineering school to fix the problem. Generally the student body was pretty fond of it.
