Starbucks accused of violating Americans with Disabilities Act by charging extra for non-dairy
  • That's a super weird point of view. If your argument is wrt global averages and your view of normal is black hair, brown eyes, and some average between average Chinese and Indian populations, I suppose you're right...but not in a way that's remotely useful.

  • More to the relevant point, those alt milks are still cheaper to produce and Starbucks has the scale to do so. You know what it takes to make oatmilk? Oats, sugar, water, small amount of oil. Almond milk? Replace oat with almond, except you can use more of the material.

  • Someone gets killed by a car, so they restrict e-bikes.
  • You want 25 mph for 70 miles of road in some places, not reasonable given how the US has built itself. Places that can achieve this (dt San Francisco, dt Boston,dt Oakland, dt New York) already do this.

  • Someone gets killed by a car, so they restrict e-bikes.
  • It's pretty annoying when people use ambiguous or no signaling (you cant claim the last spot before a right turn by turning on your signal) in bumper to bumper traffic and expect people to make space is one problem.

    From a bias perspective assholes in pickup trucks or sports cars that always take multiple spots always back in, so there may be some leftover negative associations, at least for me.

  • Not having safe infrastructure doesn't make bikers any less dangerous to be around. My specific citation is the bay area, other places I've lived have not had the sheer quantity of bikers (and drivers) with a death wish/complete lack of spatial awareness.

  • It is similar to open source social media.

    thats federation, not open source. reddit was open source for a while, but not federated -- and now we are here. whatsapp uses an open source protocol, but isnt federated -- some asshole hawaiian (resident of hawaii, not the other option) controls it. Signal is open source, but won't federate, its controlled by people who are way more into crypto than helping their users (moxie was actively against federation, using such examples as email to prove how federation is a failure)

  • You are 100% sure that data is not getting sold?

    lol no, im 100% sure its being sold in some way, no matter how many things I opt out of. while i do have a lot of privacy focused things in my life, from email to chat to phone, i just can't find myself caring that much about someone tracking my gasoline consumption or knowing that I go to the same bar every week for game night.

    the obvious downside to something like XMR is that its a ticking time bomb from a privacy perspective. at some point the security will fail as all security does, and then the data is totally public.

  • don't recall, it covered both bitcoin and etherium and investigated who owned what. ill see if i can't find it. edit: this seems to be the academic version of it, but theres a prettier journalism version with more stories and pictures: https://arxiv.org/abs/2206.02871

    in this case i seem to have misremembered owners vs miners, but I'll keep poking around. this one is also older than i remember.
