"Anti-vaccine advocate" is a weird way of phrasing "random unqualified non-doctor who got in trouble for working with his dad to chemically castrate autistic children"

Focusing on airbag-deployments and injuries ignores the obvious problem: these things are unbelievably unsafe for pedestrians and bicyclists. I curse SF for allowing AVs and always give them a wide berth because there's no way to know if they see you and they'll often behave erratically and unpredictably in crosswalks. I don't give a shit how often the passengers are injured, I care a lot more how much they disrupt life for all the people who aren't paying Waymo for the privilege.

Gotta love a company that will sue you if you benchmark their software...

 

Everywhere else I've lived in the Bay Area lets you put BPI-Certified compostable plastics (e.g., compost bin liners and spudware) in your bin, but apparently Oakland explicitly forbids all such items. What are you folks doing to collect food waste without it being disgusting? Even using a liner I have to scrub the heck out of the kitchen compost bin every few days to keep it from growing mold and I despair at what it'll be without a liner. I see that Oakland recommends using newspaper but who has easy access to physical newspapers in the year 2025?

The companies that run these residential proxy networks are sketchy as shit and in a better world would be criminally prosecuted. They're tricking random low-information users into installing VPNs and other software with backdoors that turn them into a veritable botnet.

Part of me wonders whether the whole thing is just a set up so Trump can look good for shutting them down...
