We're hearing about troubles at Nest

it may be more help to link sources that support your conclusions

i admit a lack of historical context to many texts i have read and my only exposure to 'the thirty' is through plato without any supplemental research of my own on the subject so my prejudices are his

because of this i did as you suggested and did a search for 'thirty tyrants' and i only found material that conflicted and confused your comment as here stated

from the wiki(o):

    Due to their desire to remain in complete control 
    over Athens, the Thirty sought to exile or kill anyone
    who outwardly opposed their regime. Socrates was one of
    the several citizens who chose to oppose the oligarchy,
    and with that opposition came the endangerment of his life.

also from the wiki you can see that the leader of the thirty, critias, was indeed a former pupil of socrates, but the relationship seems to have ended and as such noting critias was a pupil of socrates seems to be judging the teacher for the ills of the student

plato talks about the thirty a number of times..

from his seventh letter(i):

    In my youth I went through the same 
    experience as many other men. I fancied
    that if, early in life, I became my own 
    master, I should at once embark on a 
    political career. 
    
    And I found myself confronted with the 
    following occurrences in the public 
    affairs of my own city. The existing 
    constitution being generally condemned, 
    a revolution took place, and fifty-one men 
    came to the front as rulers of the 
    revolutionary government, namely eleven in 
    the city and ten in the Peiraeus-each of 
    these bodies being in charge of the market 
    and municipal matters-while thirty were 
    appointed rulers with full powers over 
    public affairs as a whole. 
    
    Some of these were relatives and acquaintances 
    of mine, and they at once invited me to share 
    in their doings, as something to which I had 
    a claim. The effect on me was not surprising 
    in the case of a young man. 
    
    I considered that they would, of course, so 
    manage the State as to bring men out of a bad 
    way of life into a good one. So I watched them 
    very closely to see what they would do. 
    
    And seeing, as I did, that in quite a short time 
    they made the former government seem by comparison 
    something precious as gold-for among other things 
    they tried to send a friend of mine, the aged 
    Socrates, whom I should scarcely scruple to describe 
    as the most upright man of that day, with some other 
    persons to carry off one of the citizens by force to 
    execution, in order that, whether he wished it, or not, 
    he might share the guilt of their conduct; but he 
    would not obey them, risking all consequences in 
    preference to becoming a partner in their iniquitous 
    deeds-seeing all these things and others of the same 
    kind on a considerable scale, I disapproved of their 
    proceedings, and withdrew from any connection with 
    the abuses of the time.

but decided to wait a bit and found his reluctance supported as they quickly became tyrants making the previously reviled government 'seem by comparison something precious as gold'

then he goes on to recount how socrates put himself at great risk to refuse to gather dissidents for execution

a story that plato recounts in socrates' apology(ii) in first person through socrates:

    But when the oligarchy of the Thirty was in power,
    they sent for me and four others into the rotunda, 
    and bade us bring Leon the Salaminian from Salamis, 
    as they wanted to execute him. 
    
    This was a specimen of the sort of commands which 
    they were always giving with the view of implicating 
    as many as possible in their crimes; and then I 
    showed, not in words only, but in deed, that, if I 
    may be allowed to use such an expression, I cared 
    not a straw for death, and that my only fear was the 
    fear of doing an unrighteous or unholy thing. 
    
    For the strong arm of that oppressive power did not 
    frighten me into doing wrong; and when we came out 
    of the rotunda the other four went to Salamis and 
    fetched Leon, but I went quietly home. 
    
    For which I might have lost my life, had not the 
    power of the Thirty shortly afterwards come to an 
    end. And to this many will witness.

from salamis' wiki(iii):

    From these texts, it is clear that Leon of Salamis 
    had an honorable reputation, he was put to death by 
    the Thirty, and his execution was publicly recognized 
    as unjust and unwarranted.

investigating your claims has found me wholly opposing conclusions

i am indifferent to the righteousness of socrates the man but your slander stands unsupported

there is plenty in plato that could be argued the work of lunacy but i am unable to find your purported support for this tyranny

this quote from the apology(ii) is one of my favourites:

    Is there not here conceit of knowledge, which is a 
    disgraceful sort of ignorance? And this is the point 
    in which, as I think, I am superior to men in general, 
    and in which I might perhaps fancy myself wiser than 
    other men, - that whereas I know but little of the 
    world below, I do not suppose that I know

(iii) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leon_of_Salamis

It is true that a while after the coup had happened Socrates at one point refused to cooperate with them. But what happened there was that he made an enemy of one (or perhaps more) of the thirty tyrants, who then challenged him to bring Leon of Salamis for execution (which, to me seems to indicate he was part of the thirty tyrants government, but that isn't the general interpretation). Shortly after that the thirty tyrants were overthrown.

Next there was a decision by the new government, that Socrates was not directly guilty, but was never to teach again, never to have students again. He immediately violated it, and after a while there was another incident by his students against the state. They were executed and immediately after so was Socrates.

My issue is that while Socrates getting executed "for teaching science", while technically correct, fails to mention that his teaching of science was closely related to a mass murder that happened in Athens, followed by him committing an immediate violation of the outcome of a "court case", which was clearly related to yet another incident, an attack on "parliament".

Would you have let Socrates continue his teaching after such events, after one in 20 of the people you knew got executed by his students, and he is involved in an attempt to repeat that experience ? Whilst of course the decision to execute him does not pass a 21st century moral test, don't you think that if this happened in America today that he would disappear behind bars for a few decades ? It is hard, I think, to argue the case that Socrates should have gone free here.

I feel leaving this critical context out does disrespect to the story and paints a wholly wrong picture of both who Socrates was and even to an extent leaves out critical context when it comes to his teachings. Socrates believed in there being one correct answer to any and all questions (maybe unknown, but still a singular correct answer, a grand truth), to be provided by philosophers, that had to be imposed on everyone. His disagreement with the thirty tyrants was not the manner of their governing, but the content.

The heat was set to go back to the daytime temperatures at 6 AM, and I began to wake up at about 5:47 every morning when, like clockwork, the furnace kicked on to reach 64 degrees before I rolled out of bed. Well played, Honeywell engineers.

IMO this was because Apple knew how to make hardware, generally, and hence things didn't go far off the rails - he got a lot of support from Apple.

However, Tony didn't know the first thing about software and appeared to assume that it was something you threw new grads at because they'd hammer at it until it got through QA. Each year the teetering pile of crap grew higher and harder to ship...

Now he's master of all he surveys, he's worked out that actually consistently delivering complex projects (which have rather more complex software than an iPod) is damn hard. Shouting is his reflex reaction when this doesn't go well.
