From working in tech to having a young tech woman as a roommate trying to get in the field, I've seen this happen time and time again.
One of the things I like about the setup here is that there is a critical mass of women in STEM fields, so you don't get the lone woman in a committee or a project, but it's a larger number.
However, women need to continually reinforce credit for other women when they speak up. Even unconsciously, men tend to not hear them when they contribute, and incorrectly assign credit to other men in the group, and talk over them as well.
In China, India, the UK, they don't need to threaten. It's just required that FB hands it over to them, literally written into the charter of business.
This is true to a lesser extent in the US, Canada, and the EU, where there is a theoretical right of privacy, in whole or in part, but the net result is they still hand it over. Originally they recorded the whole thing, but it's harder to process; now they record the metadata and if you use certain phrases or keywords or communicate with individuals N+2 from you who are "suspect" then the entire thing is fully recorded and dumped to a data store for later search. All of it.
It seems to me you have people who have hammers, who love hammers, who want to use hammers for everything, even for buttering bread.
Who should be using a net.
Distributing lower amounts of force over a longer period of time, using a net to attach to an asteroid and ion drives to slowly alter the orbit, is a far more useful method of deflection than a short sharp shock. Getting that much energy at one point for a short duration is very very expensive in orbital mechanics, especially from earth surface, whereas doing intercepts with nets and ion boosters is something you can preposition in higher orbits and then deliver to a target.
Or maybe their parents give their old phones to their kids and grandparents, which is exactly what happens in my large extended family that lives all over the US?
Think of that Geico commercial about the young son getting Beige Betty that his older sister had, when she gets a new car herself.
Unless the wear and tear and scratches is a feature (forces customers to replace phones more quickly), not a bug (lets customers keep phones longer and then we have to let them replace batteries that degrade over time).
Puget Sound Energy sells energy primarily East of Seattle proper.
I think you don't get that Seattle owns it's own public energy utility.
You may be confused by PSE selling natural gas for heating within Seattle, but we were talking about electricity.
I stand by my true statements.
Think of it this way. To people outside of Washington State, you think Seattle is a vast area from the Cascade Mountains to the Olympic Mountains, from Snohomish to Tacoma. Seattle is a city built on a small portion of that.
Most of your California hydro comes from here (north of you). Literally. We sell the hydroelectric output of the Columbia River basin and BC sells the output of the Rocky mountain dams which is where your power comes from. Check your interstate grid compact for more details. You actually have a state commission that regulates that now.
Shows how little you know. Snow is easy to brush off solar panels, as most operating ski areas have proven, and mountain solar and wind tends to be fairly constant. Over a regional grid, the power curves of both tend to closely represent the actual demand use for power, which hydro can easily shape for a full power curve even in times of restriction.
The major problem is dust, which Seattle tends not to have much of. Except during summers when the entire region is on fire, so don't move here. Especially if you have breathing problems. We also have a lot of pollen.
Again, Seattle owns the Tolt River watershed, and the hydroelectric dam that is on it. You're confusing the purchase and export of electric power from Seattle City Light to the other cities in this and nearby counties. The dam is literally ours, and so is the water, which we sell at cost to Seattle residents and at a surcharge to nearby areas.
If you cross Lake Washington, which you might incorrectly think is part of Seattle (it's not, ask Mercer Island, or Lake City), then your power mix includes a larger portion of coal power and nuclear, because that part is a net importer of energy (part of Greater Seattle, kind of like how Vancouver is part of Greater Vancouver).

Here in Seattle we have our own hydroelectric dam, and I get 100 percent green energy from wind turbines (near the Gorge) and from solar panels here in the city (I own six of them, at the Aquarium, the Zoo, and at Capitol Hill Low Income Housing).
It's the rest of the PNW that might be using nuclear. We export energy. Heck, our Governor just had his launch for President at a solar power manufacturing plant that I can see from my window. This county literally builds a lot of US solar and wind infrastructure.
Caveat: It also turns out that a lot of the very bottom level krill and plankton, which we don't eat at all, but that the bottom level fish eat, are also impacted. So, while my point may be relevant to the human behavior (fish eating) it is not relevant to the fish per se. Given the reductions at the very bottom levels below fish that humans can/will consume, there is still a net reduction, but we as humans can modify our behaviors by arresting Chinese executives who persist in eating top of food chain fish, solving the entire problem.
Or we could just get rid of cats. Lots of fish saved that way too.
The problem is not that there are not enough fish, just that we are losing the top of food chain fish people prefer, while not eating the smaller fish that people don't prefer that live at the bottom of the food chain.
Imagine a Christmas Tree of Fish (or Festal Fish Fellowship):
1 salmon or red snapper consumes 10 upper mid range fish consumes 100 mid range fish consumes 1000 lower mid range fish consumes 10000 lower range fish.
To solve this problem, you need to stop setting up fish farms for the top 3 levels of fish, which to get 1 L1 and 1 L2 and 1 L3 you need 1110 L4 and 11100 L5, and consume the bottom two levels. This has net positive benefits in that heavy metal and pesticide concentrations also drop. Or you can stop consuming fish and replace them with carbon negative shellfish (not shrimp, sadly, they are net carbon emission increasing) like oysters, clams, and mussels, grown amidst breaker seaweed and breaker seagrass, sucking out carbon from the cycle. The shells of these can then be used to replace many components in concrete, reducing the impact of building. Think of the long surviving concrete from 4000 years ago, which uses this for it's material instead of modern concrete which doesn't survive as long.
The problem was that Google took from the total pool per job classification, robbing Peter to pay Paula, when Paula was underpaid relative to the total group, but this meant less left to pay Peter.
They should have lifted Bill's pay package compensation as a senior exec to pay Paula, while not reducing the pool for Peter, under the Peter Piper Principle, which says to pay Peter Piper you take the compensation package away from the school principles.
It's got a 410 mile range (+400 if you replace the tool box with a spare battery), a real winch, and is designed to actually work in off road conditions.
A real truck, not a city truck like Tesla will have.
I left the Midwest because - like this week - it will be -30 degrees. F*ck that. I'm in Seattle...
You moved to Seattle for the weather? The last time I was there it was late summer, I had to wear a jacket, the sky was perpetually overcast, and the mountains still had passes closed with 7 feet of snow. Now, eastern Washington had some amazing weather and was actually pretty.
No, that was smoke from the massive forest fires. I even uploaded pics - the sun was this hazy orange ball and you couldn't see three blocks away.

Time for some trust busting
Because we set it up that way.
I'm all for encouraging everyone to join credit unions, but here it's all about barriers, and rewarding the ultra-rich.
Eww, poor people might buy things in stores like rich people, and even gasp talk to us!

Here's a hint, there's an entire state, and a lot of the population doesn't live in Seattle, or even King County.
I stand by my statement. I was just at Gov Inslee's forum on national security and energy policy. Even the Admirals agree with my statement.

Define "scan".
The metadata from your ephermal messages will be stored and used to market you for FB's users, the marketing firms.
It will also be stored and used by various intel agencies in the countries FB does business in.
If even one member of your "small group" lives in one of those countries, they get your metadata too. All of it. Every drop.
It seems to me you have people who have hammers, who love hammers, who want to use hammers for everything, even for buttering bread.

I really feel like we have the engineers (ooh, shiny!) leading the process here, not the marketing (what problems do our customers have?) teams.
Who really needs a foldable iPhone when you can instead make a flip phone?

I live in a state that has a Constitutional Right of Privacy.
The old system is replaced by a different suite.
It's not just that we don't trust FB, which we don't.
It's not just that we don't trust 2FA, which we don't.
It's that it violates our expectations and Constitutional Rights of Privacy.

Not for the last two years they haven't been.
The forests are burning.
