In fairness, FB cookies track you around the internet - I believe even if you're not a customer. You also end up with a shadow account via friends' accounts.
The truth here is much simpler. Assange is playing to the Ecuador government (and, I suppose, international opinion) by arguing 'you should let me stay because the evil Trump administrations will treat me unfairly...."
It's a silly argument factually - sealed indictments are a common thing - but he has to play the hand he holds.
I suspect the phone doesn't even need to transmit 'telemetry data' per se. One probably can do triangulation at the tower, and phones are constantly chirping.
Close...imho, it's more that they won't get fired for a recession (they can't blame you if everyone is affected). They might get fired due to a cyber security breach.
Probably "notorious" here... There are (were?) some entrepreneurs that actively look for minor ADA violations (e.g., towel dispensers 1" too high), and then sue for the mandatory penalties.
"A species is only considered invasive if it spreads at an uncontrollable rate and causes harm to the local ecosystem."
Unfortunately, you generally don't find that part out until later. I suspect (i.e., without proof) that most invasive species were introduced at one time.
"proposed new rules that would make it easier to patent software."
It's worth noting that these are not "new rules." Instead, it's just a memo that attempts to summarize existing law. The memo doesn't change anything re the patentability of software.
" the need to better prepare lower-skilled workers "
IMHO, it's not lower skilled workers who should worry. It's high-skilled, highly-specialized workers. It's a big drop in pay from a "senior [X]" position to "new hire" in some other job category.
And that's assuming anyone will hire an old fogy into a new hire position.
But not always e.g., when you need to carry more than one cup full of water, when weight matters, when a mere 'good seal' isn't enough, long term storage, events where unsealed cups are not allowed, etc.
There are many, many such maps " drawn by ancient" people and still used for "personal use or sharing through search." e.g., anything showing the borders before the Mexican-American war.
Nobody in the U.S. cares, least of all, the U.S. government.
Most people are buying the container, not the water. It's a handy way to have water where/when you need it.
Yes, yes, we should all use glass instead. But, if you run the numbers, the breakeven number of reuses is quite high given the higher cost of mfg, shipping, collecting, cleaning, and shipping again. Perhaps higher than the median life of those glass bottles.
"The problem is not net neutrality (or lack thereof)."
Obligatory paraphrase: “When I use the word net neutrality,” Humpty Dumpty said, in rather a scornful tone, “it means just what I choose it to mean—neither more nor less.” “The question is,” said Alice, “whether you can make that term mean so many different things.” “The question is,” said Humpty Dumpty, “which is to be master—that's all.”
The solution for this "problem" is for cities to negotiate a better service level. This is business-as-usual elsewhere e.g., first rights to diesel fuel supplies, etc.
And/or to not use consumer services for emergency communication(!)
Actually they do....there is a long standing / widely accepted rule that federal regulators of highly regulated industries "occupy the field." That is, we don't require them to explicitly preempt state laws.
Your "In general" statement is also too broad see e.g., dormant commerce clause.

That sounds like a crazy conspiracy theory

In fairness, back then, pay phones everwhere. They've just disappeared because everyone is already carrying a phone.

The best answer might be satellite phones.
[irony] Sure, as long as "invest" == funnel to their friends and allies, after taking a large cut for themselves. [/irony]
IIRC, the ethical issue here relates to informed consent and "is ready for human trials," not because it's gene editing per se.
"It is not the school's fault if a student failed to learn while attending classes."
I suppose it depends on the content and rigor of those classes.

I had a similar thought... The scooters should make mass transit more practical by extending the radius from which people will travel to a station.
Bikes too? Personally, I see bikes chained to random road signs far more often than I see scooters.
Which is why we really need more temperate swamps, not forests.
That said, wood --> building materials and wood --> carbon neutral energy are decent 'second best' choices.

The article doesn't say, but I'd assume they are talking about scooters being 'parked' on the sidewalk.

Income taxes aren't tied to receiving some benefit beforehand.
In all seriousness, there is a public benefit to K-12, primarily in that 'we' can assume everyone else can read.
But post-secondary? I'd argument the benefit there is private. The student will demand that 'we' pay them for whatever benefits they produce.
Or maybe the current income based repayment system?

I agree; insulated cups are often good choices.
But not always e.g., when you need to carry more than one cup full of water, when weight matters, when a mere 'good seal' isn't enough, long term storage, events where unsealed cups are not allowed, etc.
