Take a look at that YouTuber's channel[1] and tell me with a straight face that using terms like "antics" and "contrary opinions" accurately describes what she's doing or the positions she holds.
What's your agenda?
But...surely you were joking about contrary opinions near religious centers?
Surely, you aren't trying to strawman a position that's literally one post above yours.

I refuse to believe Candid Camera did anything as heinous as harassing people for their religion and ethnicity and then making a show out of going to their place of worship to "just criticize" an international conspiracy they purport as existing.
That YouTuber has been banned from entering the UK for inciting racial hatred. I don't believe it's wise to take anything she says or shows on her channel at face value.
I find it concerning that you're willing to put her brand of divisive hate on par with Candid Camera's pranks, as if what she's doing is just silly antics.
Did you watch the video?
The officer's words: "The local community walks around here without any fear, I walk around here without any fear."
She's a professional provocateur with a clear anti-Muslim agenda. The officer stopped her because he believed she was disturbing the peace, and I'd have to agree.
Try doing what she's doing at a New York City synagogue and see how long it takes until the cops are called.
Somehow, I don't believe, "I'm just trying to criticize International Jewry!" would fly in that situation.
This is another example of a neighborhood where there's casual street traffic, children playing and absolute peace and tranquility if we ignore the woman gawking at people while loudly decrying their presence, ethnicity and religion on camera. I'd call the police, too, if such a person was trying to make an example out of me while wholly disturbing the peace.
In the US, there's a legitimate propaganda effort to paint Europe as a den of "Islamic terrorism". You'll see these talking points echoed online, in memes, by politicians and on TV.
You can watch, in hilarity, as propagandist YouTubers go into European "no-go zones"[1], where they're met with casual street traffic, children playing and, often times, absolute peace and tranquility[2]. These "no-go zones" are supposed dens of radical extremists that assault and kill anyone who is not from the Middle East or Muslim.
Or, you can read the hundreds, if not thousands, of attempts to paint Sweden as a den of sexual assault against natives by scary foreigners. They completely ignore that the rise in sexual assault numbers have to do with recent recategorizing of what are legally recognized as sex crimes.
[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No-go_area, do a quick Ctrl-F for Fox, CNN, etc and you'll see how widespread of an effort is being taken to paint Europe as dangerous to exist in if you are light-skinned or not Muslim.

Have worked on one such project, can confirm that these exist.
Plenty of entrepreneurs have made a lot of money chasing fads. Web 2.0, NoSQL, microservices, etc.
Guides like this serve no purpose other than to fatten vocabularies and promote the "brand" of people who aren't actually doing the work (speakers, educators, etc).
Yep. They're often ghostwritten, too.
I've encountered a trend of B&M and big retailers carrying counterfeit hair & body care products over the last two years.
Yep. Same thing with Ebay. A good portion of electronics and other small items are straight from Alibaba.
When electronics are thrown out and they either degrade or are burned for precious metals, those compounds are released into the water, soil and air.
I just skip the middlemen and use Aliexpress.
There, you'll see 95% of the electronics, tools and small appliances you'd see on Amazon.
The pictures are usually the same, too.
It sets precedent. If you're concerned about government actors, that will make it harder for less shrewd prosecutors to enter evidence tainted by the unlawful use of facial recognition.
Agreed. Rare instance of corporate and personal interests aligning and what not.
This is closer, but I think the best analogy for this is hearing about the fire, deciding to never buy matches again and thinking that you're doing your part in preventing house fires.
Why assume an alien species would value contact?
I use a separate phone number and email when looking for work for this reason. Some agencies and recruiters will not stop.
How would this affect law enforcements ability to use data they bought from telcos?
To be honest, everyone would have been better off if coal extraction remained a manual process.
Machines will never comply with "Can I please have more than the two ketchup packets that management woefully let's you give me?" or "How are you doing?"
Seems like it's in the interests of the owners to automate, not in the interests of those who work jobs that will be automated.
Are there professionals who use an iPad for the majority of their work beyond sending emails and interacting with web apps/their mobile clients?
I rarely see the people who bought in on the iPad revolution almost a decade ago use their iPad beyond light browsing and sending emails.
To me, it seems to have replaced the morning paper more than it has laptops.
I've run into a few issues with the Early to Mid 2015 Macbook fans. Maybe it's just a coincidence, but I've seen it across three machines.
Just a note about United: their directory of in-network medical professionals is, frankly, horrible. If a doctor formerly took UHC, and no longer does, they will stay in their directory.
It took many days and calls until a representative told me that the directory is outdated and that I needed to confirm with each doctor/practice as to whether they still take UHC.
Yes, this process is terrible if you are sick and in need of treatment.
It's called bias.
I stopped fully and gave it about 2 seconds to start moving since it had right-of-way. It made a one or two false starts, then I just gave up and went through the intersection because it was clearly having issues. Looking back in the rear view I saw it did the same thing with the next car. Maybe it didn't think it was a 4-way stop or something?
A few minutes later, I was on Bryant just past 7th outside the Hall of Justice in dense traffic that was moving quickly (as people do on that street). A Cruise Automation car (I think?) was in one of the right lanes next to me and, for whatever reason, decided it wanted to get over to the left quickly. When it didn't get a good opening after a couple seconds, it more or less stopped in the middle of the road to wait for an opening. Unsafe and almost caused an accident with the cars behind it.
If you asked me ten years ago what a future with self-driving cars would look like, it would be exactly this. I wouldn't have believed that we'd have the hubris to put them in situations in which someone could be hurt or injured, however.
AP MAC addresses, signal strengths and locations have been collected by Google for years to provide WiFi-based location services to Android users.
I wouldn't be surprised if other platforms/applications/companies are using that data, as well.
Kernel won, userland didn't.
If they're not explaining this to customers, it's negligent.
Offering a footgun to consumers which puts other people in danger is a questionable choice.
When you're balancing on two thin tires, you are lucky if you fall and don't slam your head on the pavement.
Yet falling is the second most common cause of accidental deaths in the world.
