Of course I haven’t, how could I? That’s up to the people running the project. My entire point was that this does not seem blown out of proportion to me and should actually be something for San Franciscans to push on. My personal opinion is that this does indeed seem like a vanity project on the outset but without more details, it’s hard to know. I think enough are there to not write it off though.
This comment seems relevant regarding what problem they are actually trying to solve, if there is one: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28639600 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28639600

- ZeroGravitas 5y agoThat linked comment just repeats the lie that they didn't even look at off-the-shelf options in an angrier tone. It's still just as easily refuted by reading to the end of the article. Maybe there really is a rotten core to SF refuse collection, maybe there really is something going on with Bill Gates and Covid Vaccines, but angry people on the internet saying things that are demonstrabaly not true in an outraged tone is not a good basis for believing either proposition.
