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 shoul

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

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 unenvia

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

I was surprised to recently have a patch to Portal 2 pop up in Steam. That game was from April 2011 and someone at Valve is still apparently actively spending time patching it.

The recent events where he helped Delonte West make for a pretty uplifting story that helps me believe Cuban is a decent and empathetic human being.

Then who makes the search engine to search for those search engines?

This happens all the time across all sorts of industries. Where do you think things like ASTM standards come from? Companies pay people to participate in developing open standards that benefit themselves as well as their competitors.

A great many places, including the majority of states in the US, have zero requirement for vehicle safety inspections.

It is only subjective in certain context. The arts are inherently subjective I think. On the other hand I struggle to find an argument where one can't define Olympic gold medalists as objectively "good" in in their respective

Vanillin is a good example of this. Vanillin produced by engineered yeast cost multiple times more than synthetic vanillin despite being identical products. This is because US packaging does not need to call the yeast-produced compound arti

After I noticed the change I went to the website to see what it was about and this is exactly what happened.

In Nevada there is basically a constitutional right to be drunk in public. The state constitution bans local municipalities from enacting laws against public drunkenness. Up for argument as to whether that is a good idea or not but interest

They call it Christmas though. So it is not your version of Christmas but theirs. Also you can't be certain it is commercial exploitation. What if some you are referring to give mostly homemade and charitable gifts. Certainly would be

That is a non-cash solution which is insubstantially different from a plastic card.

I do not think your arguments apply to The Economist. >And maybe these people should find actual productive jobs, there are enough enthusiasts working for free and reporting stuff. Whatever it is you do to make money, I would wager there

Maybe the exposure risk was from dust inhalation if the lenses were cut or ground to fit a pair frames. Though point taken - prop 65 warnings are on everything. I still choose to enter parking garages.
