tl;dr: tiny production, would be astonished if they got $6k out of it, and that's not counting time, props, transportation, etc.

Compensation for engineers in the Bay area will average much higher than $200k, and that's not counting benefits (medical, etc.). So cost to the company will be way higher than 200k/employee.
For a project that has hardware, there will be large expenses associated with that
custom silicon has huge setup costs, for example.
There's so such thing as starter "discard"! Add water, oil, sugar, salt, baking soda and you've got some vegan sourdough pancakes. Or use any of a number of other recipes
but no sense in wasting it.
They specified 1 significant figure
at that level it's the same.
This is the same argument used for blaming the cost of college on government loans for education, for $$$ housing prices in cities that offer low income subsidies, for food prices due to food stamps...
That's because you're thinking of trucks used first and foremost for heavy duty "truck stuff." That is not the only market for trucks, at least in the US: https://www.thedrive.com/news/26907/you-dont-need-a-full-size-pickup-truck-you-need-a-cowboy-costume
According to Edwards’ data, 75 percent of truck owners use their truck for towing one time a year or less (meaning, never). Nearly 70 percent of truck owners go off-road one time a year or less. And a full 35 percent of truck owners use their truck for hauling—putting something in the bed, its ostensible raison d’être—once a year or less.
0-60mph is mostly deprecated these days in favor of 0-62mph, which just so happens to be the same as 0-100km/h
what a coincidence!
A six/seven figure donation for these companies is...nothing. While I'm all for grabbing my face eating leopard popcorn, I'm not sure I'd say this falls under that category. This amount of money doesn't feel like trying to buy favors
more like "please don't specifically target us with your wrath of incompetence."
We're expecting a baby. Do people travel with a baby? Is it safe? Is it insane? I think we're just gonna have to stay put for 3 years or so.
If your baby isn't super fussy, the transportation difficulty (in our experience) is more in the logistics getting to/from airport, and dealing with other ground transportation. We just flew 5+hrs (coast to coast, US) with a 2mo and a ~3yo, and it was a piece of cake (typing that, I've jinxed the return flight...).
We haven't done international travel with our kids yet, but we will eventually. When I was 2 my family went to Europe
some countries were meh with respect to kids, but Italy (from my folks' retelling) was fantastic, as there is (or was) a big cultural love for young kids.
YMMV of course, but it's absolutely doable! Kids
even starting as babies
have personalities, and you'll get a sense of what's appropriate with yours. Good luck!
Your local city college may or may not offer free classes (in San Francisco, you just need to show proof that you live in the city with some legal status).
Some public transportation is free for certain groups (youth and folks experiencing homelessness can get free passes here).
"First X of the month" at the zoo/a museum/whatever
lots of venues have free events.
A jog, bike ride, hike
lots of great stuff outside!
Fail2ban config can get fairly involved in my experience. I'm probably not doing it the right way, as I wrote a bunch of web server ban rules
anyone trying to access wpadmin gets banned, for instance (I don't use WordPress, and if I did, it wouldn't be accessible from my public facing reverse proxy).
I just skimmed my nginx logs and looked for anything funky and put that in a ban rule, basically.
