Yes, haha. To be fair it's more of a government role and they do support the government with "2.1 billion in state income taxes" https://www.mercurynews.com/2019/04/15/which-bay-area-compan...

Most likely Jaguar is involved financially and it's not a straight purchase. From Wired: "Jaguar, for its part, gets a large chunk of guaranteed sales and a chance to look like it’s at the forefront of this emerging technology.&qu

I was able to complete the signup process: requires a gmail account, email link to a qualtrics survey which asks things like name, age, where you live (if SF proper, neighborhood?). (I do live in SF and gave it location access)

It’s a good question. Well, CRDTs are just an underlying data type that guarantee conflict free eventual consistency. That doesn’t mean the result would be an English paragraph or buildable code, however. Then what git does really well that

It is a barrier, you can probably see it in your page analytics. A good way to implement is to let me play with the database a little, and then if I want to save or something ask me to make an account.

Not lasers, it’s an infrared dot pattern. Projected on a surface and the distortions are viewed with an infrared camera and analyzed for depth. Actually it might be possible to hack if your screen could output IR wavelengths.
