There wasn't really a political angle with Apple, but the coverage of Tesla and SpaceX changed dramatically in most of the media after Musk switched sides during early Covid after a CA legislator told him to get out of CA and said F*k Elon Musk. Since then it's been a constant stream of negative stories and witchhunts that similar companies who do the same things are not subject to.

They do it because it gets clicks and upvotes on places like HN and Reddit, almost never see a positive or neutral news article about Tesla on there. SpaceX successful launch news on Reddit would have like a 65% downvote ratio to suppress it, and it works.
I guess this headline not saying "Elon Musk's Tesla" or "Elon Musk's SpaceX" in a negative news article is a slight improvement compared to places like CNN.

(2) An individual with a mobility-related disability on a self-propelled wheelchair or an electrical mobility device operated by and designated for the exclusive use of an individual with a mobility-related disability.
(3) A personal delivery device.

You couldn't do that to a mute person, an infant or someone's pet, what makes you think it's legal. At least if it was a mute person you could try to claim you didn't know they were a mute, with a robot it's straightforward that you blinded it on purpose because you knew it couldn't respond.

Depends, did they actually block mail delivery and did they do it on purpose in your hypothetical?

She admitted that her intention was to block the robot and she took actions in furtherance of that, and that she wasn't trying to pass the robot.

This is misleading, according to comments on the earlier HN story.
The Cloudflare data is showing the bot traffic from the Yandex crawler, which identifies itself as a bot(like Google search bot).
The data apparently does not show malicious bot traffic.

> In areas where theft was particularly rampant and losses were as high as 83 percent, according to Tata, the companies took a different strategy. These pockets of Delhi were predominantly occupied by low-income families. Tata Power, and later BSES, worked to improve the water supply for these residents and provide educational opportunities, such as instruction in reading and writing in Hindi as well as financial literacy. These efforts focused on the women, who were at home more, and paid them to collect electricity payments from their neighbors. Bill payment rates from these areas are now on par with those of other parts of Delhi
This is... interesting on multiple levels.
