They're encouraging the scientific process, which is the method by which we validate science. Your objections to scientific process only serves to detract from that process.

What aspect(s) of my post suggest that I object to scientific process? (I do not believe myself to hold the opinion you're attributing to me.)

If we could consume the exact same plant calories, that would be an apt comparison. However, I'm loathe to consume such plant matter like corn cob, stalk, leaf, and other plant matter that is indigestible to humans.

Melatonin is broken up by sunlight exposure through the eyes, perhaps endogenous DMT might be impacted in a similar way?

I saw similar issues in Shasta County and Butte County.

You'd find something else. There's always inequality to be found.

Making a claim, in some cases, will increase your premium costs. Additionally, there's emotional and mental costs, which home insurance may not cover.

Makes me wonder if this would be different if the criminal had holed up in an officer's house.

Of course it would. Just like it's different when police see another police speeding, or their relatives breaking traffic laws with their fake badge stuck on the windshield.

The Camp Fire, which killed 85 people, started due to neglected protective maintenance around their power poles which allowed uncut brush to burn at an extreme rate.

From Microsoft documentation:

This program will allow ISVs who deploy their software on an Azure customer’s infrastructure an opportunity to get credit for the impact of their software.

The data generated by the Azure ISV Customer Usage Attribution program will be used for ISV partners to qualify for partner programs by providing a automated method of linking a customers usage to the ISVs software.

ISV partners will receive reporting for deployments from the Azure ISV Customer Usage Attribution program. Data may be anonymized for deployments from outside of Azure Marketplace. Reporting will be made available in the Cloud Publisher Portal, the same platform where GUIDs will be registered and partners can configure and manage listings for Azure Marketplace.

What do you think is a problem? If you're using Azure Marketplace then you're already dealing with vendors so of course they'll receive your information for billing and support. Otherwise it's anonymized.

Nothing in the deployment itself is sent to them (and no cloud would ever risk that kind of exposure). It's simple usage analytics.

This seems like an issue.
