I disagree, but you are entitled to your opinion. And also to try and change the situation democratically.

Your example is interesting because 21 feet is enough distance for someone with a knife to stab a someone before they can draw a gun (under 2 seconds)
I think most would agree that waiting to shot until you are suyre you will emerged out of a struggle with stab wounds or broken bones is too late.

Also, "it" needs to exist before you can sell it...

You either believe in a democracy or you don’t. Minority rights have been pretty well protected through democratic decisions.

I'm pretty sure any country would be fine with you killing someone in self-defense...

You can't stand your ground going something illegal -> a criminal doesn't have the "right" to shoot at police .

What's wrong with choosing rights democratically?

You spread misinformation. Any ad company can use FLoC.
Let me be very explicit for you: privacy advocates say 3rd party cookies are bad b/c they allow tracking yet the eu blocks google from removing them b/c they think it might hurt their own ad tracking companies.

Snowden didn't have a degree and worked in DC beltway :P Anyway, most of the jobs that showed up when I googled "senior robotics engineer Virginia" don't mention a cert or degree (they ask for X-years of professional experience) or only mention a degree within a list of many desired qualifications ...

If the cert doesn't exist (cert equivalent to a decade+ of experience in robotics) then how can a company care about it?

This is a also a city with a multibillion dollar budget and some of the highest in the country.

> make up for their earnings shortfall
Get a job leveraging the decade+ experience? I've never heard of any senior level position caring about a cert.

Food isn't free either, but I haven't been sending Bill Gates money every year to help him buy his own food.

"PG&E paid top execs $17 million in bonuses from 2012 to 2017"
You really think 17 million would have made a difference? Is that enough money to even bury 1 mile of transmission lines at Californian's exorbitant infrastructure cost?

Thanks to the "Friends of the Earth" and "Natural Resources Defense Council" for pushing us to coal, natural gas, and blackouts... Also raising rates to pay for the premature decomissioning.

I'm guessing the author wants site to be to send notifications. Please never do that. PWA are 99.999% spam. See Firefox’s research on the topic. I hate every time I visit a new site and there’s some dumb pop up on my browser asking me to enable push notifications. Sometimes I miss click and end up having to go through the annoying process of removing them. The recent mozilla study showed that sites already try and show <<100s billion notifications to users a year, let's not add to that.
> Notification prompts are very unpopular. On Release, about 99% of notification prompts go unaccepted, with 48% being actively denied by the user.
