As soon as someone used it to prove vote manipulation/fraud is occurring on a large scale then they don't want anyone to have access. Was all fun and games when they were just making money off it but can't have anyone looking under the rug :P

You think they were so dumb that they even had clear text passwords stored? I dunno. I know they had ability to login as anyone... regardless of two factor, etc... but not sure the stupidity extended that far.

Hahah... this must be some sort of funny funny joke... considering the latest attacks and breaches of dozens of high profile accounts were because of admin tools which were compromise. Way to reflect blame, lol. I still find it hard to imagine they were so dumb with their admin tools... but it happens over and over at tech companies, so I guess I should never be surprised. I'm sure there will always be some who had poor passwords, but this is pretty ridiculous.

K... yeah but you still completely sidestep the fact that we can't tell if there is any environmental benefit. Its all a wash, everything uses energy, human behavior is unpredictable. Legislating stuff like this is a waste of time.

Stainless steel straws are dangerous, people have died. Sure you can try to always use them safely, but risks of use are always going to be much higher.... they are possibly much less sanitary too if you don't always clean them as often as you should. In aggregate this will result in more of a public health issue since many will rarely clean them. And plenty will just get thrown out and not recycled... then the much higher energy and material which must be mined used to create them is all wasted.... and even in the recycling case, it takes a lotta freaking engergy to do that still. Its definitely not at all clear that doing this type of stuff really solves anything long term.

How is it preventing pollution? If you need more resources and more energy to produce alternatives it isn't clear that you are preventing pollution... just different types and possibly more of it.

Maybe they'll start banning clothes next and we'll all have to become nudists.

Plastics are light weight but still strong and flexible, using less material to begin with. That all means lower resource and energy use, greenhouse gas emissions, and waste... people's heads are gonna explode when they realize the effects of the alternative materials. Realistically, the vast majority of the plastics in our environment come from washing our clothes made from synthetic fibers. All that makes its way into ground water, rivers/streams, and the ocean. Laws like this aren't gonna have much effect on any of that, and we'll lose a lot of things that improve hygiene and public health. Everything has advantages and drawbacks, but most lawmakers aren't critically thinking, they're just getting paid to say what big manufacturers want. Its gonna cost a lot more to make alternatives, and companies are gonna get rich complying with these laws while also causing smaller competitors to have a harder time keeping up with regulatory changes.

I think you are the one confused my friend. Fraud is intentional deception to secure unfair or unlawful gain, or to deprive a victim of a legal right. Fraud can violate civil law, a criminal law, or it may cause no loss of money, property or legal right but still be an element of another civil or criminal wrong. That does not mean that there is not a real virus... it just means that they intentionally lied about a lot of the stories around it in order to get people into a panic, and lock down the world, destroying global economies. What fraud would you say is larger? I'm curious what others you've got in mind.

This has nothing to do with COVID-19. Contact tracing is not useful when the virus is already everywhere... its likely repairing the lock on your barn door after the horses already got out. Ridiculous waste of resources and an attack on constitutional rights.

How many above expected mortality? Nearly 3 million Americans die annually.

Did I say it wasn't real? Maybe CV really is a translation challenge after all...

Remember that time when science said black people are less intelligent? Or countless other horrible miscarriages that have taken place when science and politics mix? https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fjournals.plos.org%2Fplos...
