I dunno, Uber and Lyft look to me like two companies stealing each others' business plans, something that happens in every industry when one company starts gaining an advantage over the others

In their case, I'd argue the lack of consumer protection is what you are calling uncoordinated collusion

Isn't collusion specifically defined as coordination between varied interests? How do you get collusion without it?

I guess I'm looking at it like shit hit the fan, and Tom wasn't the right person for the position he was in, so he had to be pushed aside

given that he signed on as netanyahu's lawyer, he is more like Tom than Sonny

It Looks Like a School Bathroom Smoke Detector. A Teen Hacker Showed It Could Be an Audio Bug A pair of hackers found that a vape detector often found in high school bathrooms contained microphonesโ€”and security weaknesses that could allow someone to turn it into a secret listening device.

The Halo 3C is a smoke/vape detector that Motorola sells for use in school bathrooms. It also has microphones inside.

A teen hacker found them at his school, and with another security researcher has now shown they could be hacked for audio surveillance.

Abysmal messaging. First, politicians address sports-related issues all the time. Second, trans people in sports has *already been handled* by leagues and communities. Every major sports body has criteria for trans athletes! Most communities do not give a shit. The problem is bigots ignoring that.

Bob Weir quoted in Rolling Stone magazine:
 "I was describing how I envisioned the song, and [long-term Dead sound engineer Dan Healy] and Hassinger were hassling over something," Bob Weir said in Oliver Trager's 1997 guide The American Book of the Dead. "I announced, 'Right here I want the sound of thick air. I couldn't describe it back then, because I didn't know what I was talking about.

weird that it's not your name at the top of the original post that brought me here. liberals need to lie to maintain their self image, though. I get it.

but you just admitted that leftist votes would not have mattered after claiming that not having leftist votes lost the election

go crawl back to whatever bridge it is you live under

so why are you here if having those votes wouldn't have mattered?

You just want to yell at people online for your own smug sense of superiority?

furthest I've been:

N: Trondheim, Norway

W: Point Reyes National Seashore, US

We flew into the airport near Hell, Norway, so I have literally been to Hell and back

I gotta think any cops in Chicago are on the "same team" as whatever cops show up in their jurisdiction. Chicago's cops will probably give them a red carpet tour of the city's current black site torture facilities

I used to interact with a lot of bike messengers, and every woman who worked as one had legs covered in tattoos. I joked with them it was a sign of their job, but your explanation makes a lot more sense, in retrospect....

a good sign that I will forever be a casual fan of some online thing like a podcast or whatever, is if anyone involved in its production says something like "join our discord server!"

They're holding out until they get their "have you no shame?" moment.

Most Americans are clueless to the level of Trump corruption because most of the press isn't interested. Dems need simple, frightening, brutally repetitive messaging on the basics of that corruption; they don't need to wade into niche oversight problems related to lazy MVNO rebranding deals.

a paper clip with a face on it is sitting on top of a piece of paper . Alt: Clippy waggles its eyebrows at you in a suggestive manner. As though there was a good joke you shared together, but Clippy is just a program and cannot understand human behaviors like suggestiveness and joking

My favorite Elton John story was when Harley Davidson booked "a surprise mystery guest" to headline their 100th anniversary concert. They announced Elton John as the surprise guest, and 1000s of bikers started leaving town in droves
