This is an interesting article, thanks for sharing! Nuanced perspectives like these are useful.

Certainly extreme, how bizarre

I agree, though I assumed (shame on me) these were in reference to events more current than 4 years ago. But, I’m not always completely in touch with US news or politics either.

> People often use “do you have sources, I'd like to read them” to imply “links, or that didn't happen”.

Oh, I just hadn't heard of these things. Thanks for the links!

Edit ---

However, I am now confused by the latter portion of your response

> Asking someone for sources doesn't prove anything.

I wasn't trying to prove anything, nor did I make any claims. I only wanted to be aware of current events. It does seem to me quite backward to place the burden of proof not on the party making claims, but someone asking to understand why that party made those claims.

Do you have sources for these events? I’d like to read them. Thanks!

Is SF expected to have its people without homes moved somewhere else as a solution to this social problem? What a bizarre notion, unless I misunderstand you.

This is unnecessarily inflammatory towards a generation of children who didn’t choose what world to be born into, and which systems were going to be taking advantage of them.

there is evidence of major navies investing in autonomous surface vehicles: https://www.usff.navy.mil/Press-Room/News-Stories/Article/35...

Obviously not combat vehicles but it’s not hard to imagine such a thing being reframed in a similar way.

For obvious reasons, I don’t think this is a reliable source for such a claim by any means.

As I understand it, a larger sensor size will require longer focal lengths to match an "equivalent" view angle as a smaller sensor. As focal length increases, perceived depth of field becomes more shallow. Which is to say, a lens at f/4 on a 4x5 camera will will be much more shallow than an equivalent angle lens on a smaller film/sensor size.

The lockdowns have little bearing on severity of the ongoing pandemic. The lockdowns ended, but did you change your lifestyle? I don't think it's fair to say we're in a 'sociable' era once more unless you (or we) decide to engage in that level of risk (in my opinion, of course).

An egg beater, perhaps?

It’s been seen [0] that having a slightly different subset of traffic rules for cyclists (while maintaining that they are indeed a vehicle with rights to the public roadways) is safer for all parties. ————————————————-

I’m not sure you have to look too much further than Tesla for a taste of it.

This sentiment is one among many reasons why there will be no return to 'normalcy' any time soon after the introduction of vaccines.

I can agree with this. I maintain a gitlab instance at my place of work and it’s been very resilient for the last two years I’ve been doing it, even with the most mild of attention paid to it.

I'm in San Antonio as well and I've had gigabit fiber in both downtown (currently) and north side residences.

Could you provide a link?
