Even though this isn't quite on the topic of Bay Area rent, room and apartment sharing is pretty prevalent in Beijing as well, with similarily ballooning rent prices. Whilst I was living there, I shared an apartment with 3 other people

I would imagine that teleporting is actually quite dangerous, in all it's (fictional) forms. Imagine it was magical and you just kinda popped into the spot you were thinking about. But what if there's something occupying that spot

The body color is #00FFFF. You could just change it to #FFFFFF with a html editor, and it'll be black on white. <body bgcolor="#00FFFF"> => <body bgcolor="#FFFFFF">

It's enough because if you're doing it for facebook, you have to do it for every site. Which would require some kind of government provided authentication for everyone logging in. Korea does it, which requires an Residents Registr

I think bringing bodily harm into this is kinda disingenious. They're sweat shops, not human chop shops.
