What if the galactic singularity in xkcd's "Team Chat" (https://xkcd.com/1782/) is running on Amazon Lambda?

This behavior by Chrome (half of #DNS queries to the root) raises a general Internet question: how to handle people and software who don't care for the commons?
Now; the strange behaviour of the Chrome browser (by Duane Wessels, Verisign)
Chrome does a lot of #DNS probing (for instance to see if the local resolver lies) which may look like the infamous "random subdomain attack"
Almost half of the DNS traffic to Verisign's root name servers is likely from Chromium trying to see if there are DNS lies.
Now, Suzanne Woolf (PIR) about the plans to change #DNSSEC policy for .org: NSEC3 to NSEC, RSA to elliptic curves, etc. Nothing decided yet. (Specially with COVID-19, no risks will be taken.)
This was the seen in Philly today. This happened about 5 hours ago. An exceedingly peaceful protestor trying to be nice to police and military deployed was going around handing out flowers. She was immediately arrested for doing so. No violence of any kind... she offered a flower, the military guy reached out to accept it, BAM, down for arrest.
She is a well known Kindergarten Teacher here and apparently arrested for crossing the barriers even though clearly non violent.
They wonder why people are rioting.. this shit right here.

Petition Telling Congress To Reject EARN IT Act Nears 500,000 Signatures - https://www.dailydot.com/debug/earn-it-act-petition/
"The Treasury confirmed when the UK Government abolished slavery and banned people from owning slaves in Britain or on Britainβs colonies anywhere in the world, those slave owners received compensation."
How dumb one can be? Rosatom is one of few exportable, modern and competitive branches of Russian economy.
So in 2016 Russian government decided to threaten Ukraine with literally second Chernobyl if they only dare to diversify their fuel supplies (and even staged a protest in Kyiv).
Apparently to make sure no one ever buys a nuclear power plant from Rosatom...
(Obviously Ukraine did it)

IPCC: "Nuclear life-cycle CO2 emissions are 12, wind 11, solar 41, fossil gas 490 gCO2eq/kWh"
#Greenpeace "Zero carbon? Dead wrong. Nuclear power is among the most carbon-intensive forms of energy" (2011)
Also Greenpeace (also 2011):
"gas plants provide most of the non-renewable electricityand serve as a flexible backup for wind and solar power"
Former Greenpeace director dr P. Moore:
"none of fellow directors had any formal science education"
At the same time in the alternative reality π I just saw the latter mentioned almost verbatim on Twitter in Poland and UK, which indicates they're also pushing this message in other languages.
"We estimate that across these six countries, interventions prevented or delayed on the order of 62 million confirmed cases, corresponding to averting roughly 530 million total infections."
