Exactly - step 2 should be sign $200MM contract with party obviously and extremely interested in mass surveillance and autonomous warfighting capabilities.

Then comes the shock.

I agree with the sentiment but to a certain degree you can vote with your currency. Also, in many places you can certainly vote for elected officials who are interested in using government tools to prevent and breakup monopolies.

Actually until relatively recently it was perfectly legal to be fully nude in public in San Francisco. They only passed a law when a few aggressive flashers became a problem and public nudity is still mostly tolerated.

The area in question is quite nice and doesn't have as many of the problems as other areas of the city you are probably thinking of.

I said the text of the tweet was bad PR. The graphic does not appear to have been designed to support that statement, however. Can you find any other public health guidance aside from this single tweet which supports the idea that you should don and doff a mask dozens of times during a meal?

In the graphic the diner is depicted as being finished with their meal. The text of the tweet is perhaps bad PR because the author is assuming the public will use common sense.

This is ridiculous. Despite watching both videos on the linked page I can't actually find the footage of her but presumably she was drinking something before it was shot. I don't think anyone expects you to redon a mask in between sips.

They didn't pull that number out of thin air. Tons of people make that or less. Retail employees, non-profit workers, restaurant workers, gig workers etc. They live with roommates, with spouses, in rent-controlled units or have unenviable commutes. Even the new $16.32/hr minimum wage is just under $34k/yr and that is assuming people can actually get 40hrs/wk.

That's fair. I think I took issue with your tone which is 100% on me. My tone was not terribly constructive.

I would certainly prefer it to not require an account.

Suppose you are correct that neither actually requires an account but suspect the user experience is not great without.

Correct in that you can at least get through setup to have a functional device though.

I tend to avoid accounts as much as possible but this seems a juvenile response. Do you use a smartphone?

If those bits were removed in homes they are almost always going to be wasted without municipal composting, and even that is still wasteful. If they are removed at scale (no pun intended) there is a much higher likelihood that they will be used as a byproduct in pet food or fertilizer or something.
