How is Best Buy still in business?

Meh, so Google knows your wifi password. So what? You think US intelligence will be calling up Google for that? Those protocols were backdoored before the first design went on a whiteboard. And they know your location? So what? You’ve been able to triangulate any cell phone within meters from day 1. It’s just how the cell towers function, no getting around that. Terrorists, smart drug dealers and murderers already know to leave the phone behind. Google wants to sell you stuff you don’t need. It’s a business, that’s their goal.

No that’s a very poor cop out. They shouldn’t criticize something they haven’t experienced, it’s a lack of integrity.

It’s a social environment w chat and such, but you can build the world from inside, kind of like CAD for the environment you inhabit. It’s ‘down the rabbit hole’ amazing. I think the critics are totally wrong. Meta’s a golden bet.

Ok it was a bad screenshot, but horizon is amazing. I wonder how many of the critics actually put on a headset and tried it out

I’m saying this outcome wouldn’t have been prosecuted had she been a man. She’s being sentenced for being female, not for fraud.

Are you telling me billion dollar investments were made into a highly experimental technology on the word of a teenage startup founder that dropped out of university? No, those investing clearly failed their own independent due diligence or else knew they were on a ‘punt’ (high stakes gamble with large payout). Had Elizabeth been a man, the loss outcome would've been accepted as part of the SV casino breaks, but because she’s a counterfeit (wo-) person, they called shenanigans to save face.

Well, it’s nice to be noticed at least

But you’re saving a soldier, in an active warzone. You can’t pretend to be naive and say maybe they’re going to have a change of heart and become a flower farmer. By saving that life, you’re executing the future victims of that killer/soldier. That you don’t actually pull the trigger on those victims is neither here nor there.

Ok so was her act of protection a net saving of life or simply a different form of violence?
