You tip someone who walks 50 feet indoors to deliver food to your table, but you don't tip someone who has to bike or drive for minutes to hours, often in bad weather? That's barbaric.
I just cook or (OMG!) go pick stuff up myself when I'd doing takeout. I get to walk a bit, no waiting for a messenger while the food gets cold. I also can pay good, old-fashioned, cold, hard cash, which is better for a small business than a crap card and delivery appitty-app taking a cut of their proceeds.
Good luck getting groceries to run a commercial kitchen up to the third floor, even with a freight elevator. Not to mention irate occupants of neighboring units from smells of cooking, delivery-guy foot traffic, etc.
That's not precisely the case: they typically publish a DIFFERENT phone # on a "menu" that shows up on Google search results. Easy enough to circumvent -- go there ones, get a paper menu, program the "real" phone number of the resto into your phone. Pay cash, and middlemen can go get fucked.
But often no place to sit down -- I recall a few even had bulletproof Lexan between the waiting area and kitchen. This was in a less-posh part of DC about 10-15 years ago.
Going out to lunch, going for a nice walk, and sitting down for 45 minutes is seen as anti-social and unproductive. After all, you could be working more and having lunch at your desk like a good little worker-bee.
I'm sitting in a restaurant in NYC now, crowd is plenty diverse and I don't see anyone chimping out or spitting on each other. I think you're just a fuckin' coward.
It sounds like the concentration required to affect phones wasn't very high. Though this can be verified experimentally -- anyone want to donate their iDevice?:D
The rule requires constant human monitoring while the car is in use. There's still a "driver", just not in the car. This is more of a publicity stunt than a real change.
Obviously the helium concentration wasn't very high -- people could breathe and talk without sounding like Alvin the Chipmunk. I wonder if this can be exploited to mess with iPhone-owning hipsters at a party -- a balloon inflator sized helium tank and the appropriate valve orifice should do it...
Is the T2 chip really needed to implement a simple hardware disconnect? Also, is this terribly useful anyway, because hackers can still eavesdrop with the lid open? (99% of the time, the computer will be asleep or off with the lid closed anyway.)
Recycling takes energy and has environmental concerns of its own. The best form of "recycling" for the environment is the ability to continue to use the hardware for a longer time. Swappable SSD and RAM help this immensely -- if one fails, you're recycling a 1 x 2 inch board, not the entire fucking computer.
Magnuson-Moss Act -- aftermarket parts can't void a warranty. If you're in the US, voiding a warranty for this is illegal. Not to mention, just keep the original RAM and put it back in when returning to the store for service. No need to be honest when dealing with thieves.
SSD is more critical: you can remove a removable SSD, stick it in a USB sled, and recover the data. Good luck if it's soldered. Yeah, yeah, more secure, but something like a LUKS volume encrypted with a strong key and passphrase is almost as good if not better.
And, no, backups don't always happen on time, and not everyone wants to cloudfuck all of their personal data.

There's still a human backup driver, just not in the car. Read the article: constant remote monitoring by a human operator is required by this law.
Military and their contractors shouldn't be allowed to behave as domestic law enforcement.

OMG! My phone just died! *head explodes*
Internet + Netflix + Mohu antenna for local channels over-the-air gives you all of the TV you can possibly watch. Who needs a "cable box?"
Newer OS X (I mean MacOS) versions are increasingly dumbed down and crippled. Who needs this junk?
No. We don't need a lockdown chip aka modern version of the Clipper Chip polluting our hardware.

Lower taxes would just have me do more fun stuff, not blow money on a laptop that does exactly the same thing as my current laptop.
We're not comparing mining de novo to recycling. We're comparing recycling to continued long-term usage.
And melting things down or leaching minerals from ground up ICs doesn't take energy or produce toxic waste?
Easy enough to use a splitter/hub, and cheap unlike USB-C.

Illegal to void warranty in the US. See the Magnusson-Moss Act. If Apple voids warranties for this, they're ripe for legal action.

How about the more common instance of needing to use a USB-A stick?
