I saw some weird interview show on youtube where they spent the whole time eating ultra spicy chicken wings while interviewing

Velcro sewn to just inside the top of your pocket, so sticking a hand in your pocket makes a loud noise and you can feel it, for any pickpocket to separate the velcro.

Easyjet. They sent us an update in their app saying they delayed our flight a few hours due to ill pilot. We were waiting near the gate (nearest cafe) but not quite within view, and no flight boards nearby. They decided not to delay after all but did not send an update to the app, and nothing over loudspeakers. My paranoia got the better of me so i wandered down to the gate around the original time of flight to take a look. When I saw they were boarding after all i called the family down, but we had missed it by a minute or so. They would not let us board. They preferred to delay the flight while they unloaded our baggage. We had to pay for and book with another airline to arrive at our hotel at midnight losing a day of our Greek Island holiday. When we complained to their service desk, they refused to refund us, and said "we DO suggest you always keep up to date by watching the flight boards". There was a giant sign by their desk that literally said "download our app to keep up to date on your flights". I will never give those fucks another dollar, and I tell this story to anyone who will listen.

Whoever owns the camera presumably has an interest in reducing/solving crime in the area (why else have cameras?), so they would likely be happy to make the footage available to police if asked nicely, with no warrant required.

Once AI and robots can do/make anything they want on demand, they won't even need money, so don't need to make money by selling stuff. For sure, they will probably have a tough time transitioning from the idea of making money, but they won't need to any more. The rest of us could split off our own fairer economy, but they'll probably have the IP locked up on all the technology so we can't use it and have to keep working 5 day or more weeks.

How exactly does company A own shares in itself?

I can only imagine it is to accommodate temperature/humidity changes so that they don't jam.

You could deal with that while still keeping privacy with a rabeted edge on the door sides.

When I was sticking my oar in too much on something he was doing, my Dad used to say "who's skinning this cat, you or me?"
