We're talking about Elon Musk. I'd be surprised if he gave a shit.

It becomes harder and harder to pretend that this level of data scraping and disregard for consumer privacy is acceptable when things like GDPR exist.

Just because I posted something on reddit because I thought it was funny, doesn't implicitly give permission to anybody to take that post and profit from it. You're doing a disservice to consumers by acting like it's their fault for being exploited.

Heating up Teflon straight up kills birds if they're in the same room.

Not sure why any of this would be surprising. This is what happens when you allow for-profit corporations to basically run the health care system in this country.

Of course they will do absolutely everything in their power to increase profit margins, with no regard for customer safety. And that includes regulatory capture, as well as cutting corners with regards to safety, and quality control.

This reminds me of how I used to get around the filter in high school (early 00s). This was the early days of the internet, so there were classes where they blocked the entire internet because it was a distraction.

I found out that (I'm sure this is a known exploit at this point, but at the time it felt awesome figuring it out) if I went into Microsoft Word (or maybe Works?), went to "help" on the menu bar, and clicked on "About Microsoft Works" it took you to an instance of Internet Explorer that you could then use to visit any website you like.

I had a really cool teacher for those classes though, and I'm pretty sure he was amused (and maybe even proud) when he saw high schoolers in 2001 or whatever, finding clever ways around restrictions set up by the school. We may not have been doing what he had explicitly asked us for, but clearly we were learning something.

Leave it to America to turn that game into a massive commercial succuss, while somehow using it to teach people the exact opposite message.
