Not really. Consider that infection risk from tainted blood transfusion is 95% for HIV. While vaginal intercourse is 0.03% If the virus is much less infectious it probably becomes extremely unlikely for sexual transmission. Sortof like airborn transmission of HIV is also possible if you sneeze out a chunk of blood phlegm when someone is yawning nearby, but so extremely unlikely that it's not really worth mentioning.
So if whoever in asia that assembles Xboxes uses a pirated version of my naked-ladies calendar to know what day it is. I can sue microsoft in the US for unfair competition?
The thermodynamic laws that govern this universe? Don't try to win green-point by being more stupid than you really are, because all such points availible have been won already.
Why is it a creep factor? Knowing precisely what goes on in the head of the toucher would feel like a relief, you know that the robot have an unconditional love for comforting you with no strings attached, even if those body temperatured electrically heated silicon skin fingers are governed by algorithms at its core. Of course if it have a webcam for head and crushes you in its cold steel manipulators while repeatively in a very single-tracked manner with a metallic voice repeats "IT WILL ALL BE OOOOKAY!" then yes, it would scare the everliving shit out of people. But give it fluid movements and a look and behaviour that is outside of the uncanny valley(although perhaps on the dense side of intellect) it sould probably do the trick.
If someone has a genetic disease it's not always apparent. You can have a genetical susceptibility to tuberculosis, unless you get inefcted you'd never know it. Or you can have some more general problem such as marfans syndrom which traditionally is diagnosed based on aortic root dilatation or some similar criteria. Turns out that around half or so of the people with marfans syndrome have no traditional manifestations of the disease, that is that in the absence of genetic sequencing you'd never know they have marfan syndrome.
They have a quite skilled photoshopper if that's the case as that picture is quite consistent with what a spraycan would produce(notice that every point where a double layer of spray or a "hovering" would appear is accompanied by a drop of paint pouring down the wall.)
The fact that this paint droplets appear also indicate that it was sprayed carefully at a slow rate which makes it properly black.
Using Fiverr or similar sites or services where people prostitute themself for money you can buy a heap of testimonials and reviews for a couple of dollars.
As for the site it's very much a standard layout for internet marketing, with every single factbox and cliche in use.
The worst part is that it's probably quite lucrative.
There's no central Anonymous leader that approve what other anonymouses do. Any random troll from 4chan can mail in a death-threat under the name of anonymous. You could mail in a confession of your desire to make love to Aaron barr and a sheep smeared in fifty pounds of peanut butter under the name of anonymous and no one would care and claim your mail was from a different Anonymous source. The name anonymous, like the original meaning of it, is not a group tag, it's simply what you call yourself when you wish to not identify yourself yet still express yourself.
Your comment will lead to some militrary contractor getting the opportunity to sell gigantic fans for $500 million each to the white house. within two weeks you'll notice that the flags around the white house will always point in a offset from the actual wind direction.
When will they just discard with the formalities and just say that every goverment agency can do anything whatsoever with no warrants and paperwork required. It would simplify the law too, they could sum it up in one sentence: "Everything is illegal".
The question taking will most likely be moderated to only include subjectively good questions. Things like "why did you do the opposite of what 90% of your campaign said" are extremely unlikely to appear
I recall some obscure articles and google ads about CNT products for sale. Unless you're a material engineer doing something very obscure work you're unlikely to have a use for it though.
It's is simply a very niched market right now, the average user is unlikely to know of it until they can buy a neight indestructible tee(with some absurd caption about indestructibility that will get them in trouble).
I would say that people with any technical proficiency, being engineers or scientists or just ordinary geeks are capable of taking decisions that are actually based more on real life scenarios than ideologies. Of course they are not immune to bias but having a clue how shit works in real life should be a fucking requirement when you're supposed to be a leader of the country that once was the #1 leader in technological development in the fing world.
They would probably just send in the riot police like any civilized western country. Tanks have the rather awkward limitations that they can't just beat and arrest someone, they either run him over or they don't.
But.... but everyone i've met on the internet says technocracy is a stupid idea or masturbatory fantasy of science fiction fans. Could it be that the internet is wrong and socially awkward people actually are right? Oh my....
I recall the quote "Philosophy of science is about as useful to scientists as ornitology is to birds" being attributed to feynman. And i find it all too fitting for any discussion that tries to mix science and philosophy.
I guess that a tiny nation or region(say a small island somewhere) targeted by a sufficiently massive ddos could be more or less entirely locked out from the internet for the duration, with rather noticeable economic consequences.

Did we finally find the Unstoppable Force?
In the meantime the gas and coal will be developed and implemented. Going for excess renewables is both energetic and economic suicide.

Makes perfect sense.

A huge international corporation chooses short-term profiteering over long term viability. Why am I not even a itty bitty tiny bit suprised.

If starbucks or some fast food chain said they accepted bitcoin payments you'd have the current go mainstream overnight more or less.

Here's an even better solution: Print screen.
And it gives spider legs to decapitated heads.
I can't think of a better way to have spent the last 34 millennia.
