Yes. EULAs are actually unenforceable in some countries. In Germany for example an EULA, is unenforceable unless you agree to it as part of the sale.

That's only helpful if you have a fairly random distribution across the US. I very much doubt that's the case for Tesla. You'll probably have far more Teslas driving around in California, maybe even the Silicon Valley, than i

I'm fairly certain Trump isn't going to do anything remotely as bad because he wouldn't have the ability to. In any case the parallels are shocking and I'm far from the only one who has noticed, so I don't think the

The problem is that there are people who genuinely have these opinions. You need to provide additional context, if you want something like this to be read as sarcastic.

The problem is that Trump doesn't offer much in policy, even when it comes to policy he actually talks about and this doesn't just affect the things he wants to keep secret from ISIS. He also contradicts himself quite a lot and wh

Nobody has a problem with whomever Thiel is voting for or wants to restrict his ability to vote in anyway. This isn't issue and you pretending to be merely derails the discussion.

Every podcast is someones podcast, that doesn't mean anything nor does it make podcasts in general or this podcast specifically unreliable. Additionally this critique is laughable and if anything proves Gladwell's point. It's

You don't need to come up with a conspiracy here. Ivy League schools simply don't care about providing as many people as possible with a good education. The goal is rather to be the best in research, education and in the experienc

Banks drop or just don't accept customers they expect to become a problem in the future. US citizens are a great example for this. With tensions between Russia and the West rising it's only a matter of time until Russian organizat

I think the real problem with Docker is Docker Inc. The pressures and constraints the company is under promotes the creation of new features that can be marketed and new software that competes with products from the competition. They have e

The difference between the two is merely one of scale and often not even that. This election shows this especially well. Gay marriage, abortion and many other issues that are "social politics" are very much on the table.

Germany doesn't have many internal issues apart from a slow bureaucracy and racism. The EU certainly has dropped of the radar, even as far as the AfD is concerned and the EU budget isn't really a point of much discussion and has n

You're making a mistake that seems to be common in the US. You're assuming politics can just be excluded or ignored somehow. It's an idea that is utterly ridiculous. Politics is about designing how humans live together. Every

The real lesson here is that the industry is still really bad at AI. We're good enough at it to build useful tools for tasks where failure isn't too big of a problem but once it is, you want a human filter.

There is an important difference in that they don't act like neonazis typically do. Nevertheless I think it's even more important to keep in mind that despite what names people may assign to them, ideologically there is no notable

Cash is much more popular however another big factor is that credit cards aren't really a thing. Instead Germany has its own system of EC cards which are directly tied to your bank account (which most people get as a child here) and wo

In Germany marketing to physicians is legal but doctors are effectively forced by insurance agencies to prescribe whatever drug is the cheapest equivalent unless there is a medical reason not to. So even though there is marketing going on t

The US is the only first world country that has these problems. You don't need to come up with a fancy solution, just copy what another country does. It's not like it can get worse.
