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 go…

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 pu…

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 f…

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 t…

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,…

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 …

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…

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 pack…

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 ar…

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 mo…
