Is it really “opt in” or is the opt in only for them to give you the information that they collect? I haven’t read through any terms of service for it but my assumption is they are already selling that data

If you are interested I can try and find the article on it but a few years ago an article came out where they were able to use wifi signals with enough accuracy that they could see a password that you were typing on your keyboard!!
But basically they use the way the wifi signal bounce off things to make an image in much the same way that echo location works

So I’d that just all college degrees besides business?

Then you don’t get elected…
What I find funny is I have the exact opposite opinion that the left spends more time trying to appeal to voters than actually communicate what they are trying to do. So we end up with things like 250B to boost American manufacturing that got completely ignored
- Comment on What do you think the solution to selling progressive politics to young men is ? 1 week ago:
That’s why it’s important to be able to convey your message so people know what you are trying to accomplish with the 2000 page bill
- Comment on What do you think the solution to selling progressive politics to young men is ? 1 week ago:
People regularly vote against their own interests
- Comment on In old movies, it's only creepy rich people who have cameras in their house watching everything. Now everybody's creepy. 2 weeks ago:
Only people I know with internal cameras use them to check on pets when they aren’t home and put them in common areas, so if they were hacked it could still aide a burglar but if the feed was hacked it wouldn’t show them naked

Which is why it doesn’t search within an instant and it uses a bunch of energy and needs to rely on evaporative cooling to stop overheating the servers
- Comment on AGI achieved 🤖 3 weeks ago:
Computers for all intents are purposes have perfect recall so since it was trained on a large data set it would have much better intelligence. But in reality what we consider intelligence is extrapolating from existing knowledge which is what “AI” has shown to be pretty shit at
- Comment on New fuel cell could enable electric aviation 4 weeks ago:
The amount of CO2 in the atmosphere is not actually very high in terms of actual percentage it represents less than half a percent so the reaction would not neutralize all the sodium hydroxide. Also trace amounts of sodium hydroxide is a bit of an overstatement if we have jetliners using 100MW while flying

And how do you keep the wood from being exposed to moisture without petroleum derivatives? Like technically it is possible but to build enough homes to that standard for even 1/1000 of the population is unreasonable
- Comment on When you see danger coming 1 month ago:
We also cover wood in hydrocarbons to stop it from being broken down, if a bacteria can break down long hydrocarbon chains we are kind of fucked
- Comment on Not difficult to understand 1 month ago:
It’s a chance for you to explain what you were doing. If you spent that time taking time off between jobs because a job fell through, you got laid off, you quit spontaneously, etc those are all very rational things that an employer may want to know.
It’s up there with innocent questions like “where did you work before here”, and “do you have reliable transportation “
- Comment on The new AMERICAN pope doesn't even speak AMERICAN 1 month ago:
He’s in charge of the Catholic Church why is it a surprise that he follows the status quo of the Catholic Church?
- Comment on Not difficult to understand 1 month ago:
You can say something like “I was attending to personal matters” that still gives no information but doesn’t come off as rude to what could be an innocent question
- Comment on Not difficult to understand 1 month ago:
And that’s how you don’t get a call back
- Comment on Not difficult to understand 1 month ago:
That’s the inside their head conversation the actual words would be a boiler plate rejection letter
- Comment on Not difficult to understand 1 month ago:
It depends on the context if you say you had an NDA and can’t elaborate at all on the details that’s a clear red flag as most NDAs you can at least give the context of what it is about I.e. specific job processes, witnesses an event, etc.
If you say you worked for X company but can’t talk about the details of your work because of an NDA then that’s fine but they might call your old employer to verify you did really work there.
- Comment on Vitamin technology has advanced so much over the years 1 month ago:
Vitamins are barely regulated and don’t have to pass the standard of “generally recognized as safe and effective”. Because of that we don’t even have a ton of data on the effectiveness of multivitamins, but one of the things that we do know is most of the vitamins are just pissed out because they need cofactors to be properly absorbed. If you truly can’t get nutrients from a healthy diet then they are better than nothing but healthy diet is still the number one priority.
Doctors sometimes recommend them because “they can’t hurt” but that doesn’t mean they are actually helpful
- Comment on Liquid Trees 1 month ago:
You are absolutely correct and that was a stupid on my part
- Comment on Liquid Trees 1 month ago:
How much CO2 does the tree on your desk take in? Do you think it approaches 1/1000 of the amount that a bunch of algae can take in? So maybe it’s not the same and comparing it as being the same is done in bad faith. Trees are great and in many cases are superior as they also provide shade, but you can’t ignore the negatives of them(mostly related to their roots) and that they don’t work in every situation
- Comment on Liquid Trees 1 month ago:
The majority of our oxygen comes from algae, they aren’t reinventing existing solutions they just put a tank of them in a city and blow air into it so that a city can use the same more efficient fauna that is available in coastal cities

Why are you so mad? You are making a bunch of disjointed statements and I’m literally just tying to get you to connect the dots. If people are misinterpreting you have you considered you are not being clear?

And that makes logical sense to me that’s why I was surprised by the other commenter
- Comment on Instead of Orange Man doing Tariffs would it not have been better for him to talk about shopping locally and so forth. And giving more tax breaks to companies that stay and sell in the US? 2 months ago:
That’s factually not true; what happens to a company with no competition but also no customers and no suppliers? There is a reason why the most successful companies aren’t isolated from the world
- Comment on Only people with money don't understand that being morally just while poor means your threading a needle through a litany of only bad choices. 2 months ago:
But especially reusing things should be a priority if you are broke right? Like that’s a way of saving money

The problem is if you hit everyone with a stick sometimes they just leave and you are left just playing with your carrot by yourself

So you listed a bunch of things that make sense for illegal things you might have to do in order to acquire food but just because you are poor why can’t you recycle?
- Comment on 1994 white Kevin 2 months ago:
It’s also run by people vetted by the school who are also employees so they generally have other responsibilities and then the service doesn’t generate a profit. Which is a long way of saying it’s not even remotely close to being the same
- Comment on 1994 white Kevin 2 months ago:
Speaking as a person who does not fit the demographic for this service, the big problem I see with it is how you trust that the walking buddy is actually going to be safer than nothing. Uber drivers are somewhat regularly in the news for assaulting women and I know several women that don’t like riding them alone
