But now we are not speculating about potential new additions, we want to know utilization of existing circuits to allocate resources & improve in the future. I'd hope this could be measured without collecting a ton of personal data

I forgot the link? That's somewhat embarrassing. I just went with the first search result, a statista link [0] (and the free trial certainly doesn't offer much more info). Most other links right now seem to be related to complaint

There is no general law, but there seem to be 22.3m "Rechtsschutzversicherung" signed. I'm not comfortable calling this "few people".

Most of our media, especially mainstream, isn't that on the nose with tropes. If you go for e.g. anime, you'll fine an entire genre of "looser viewers can emphasis with suddenly finds himself in another world were he is the g

In my case geopolitical reasons, mostly. I prefer nuclear plants not be in what the US president lovingly calls shithole countries. Those tend to not yet have nuclear, but a drastically increasing need for energy. Many of them are also a lo

The Yemeni Civil War makes it appear as if there is very little involvement from the three global superpowers, while the Syrian standoff was worryingly similar to a cold war era proxy war. Also quite close to Europe, thus more important for

I don't think the article says advertising never works, but that people should be careful when measuring. Lets stick to the mentioned eBay example. I can totally imagine advertising for the keyword "ebay" not being worth a lo

What kind of tech do you expect them to use? While I hope it wasn't, I'd not be surprised with them just running a classifier over the current scan, have it spit out "vehicle" at coordinate A, search the previous scan&#x

Debris tends to be stationary most of the time. Sounds like the car could have handled that. I agree with that ADS being shit. Objects, once identified, should be accounted for in later updates in some form. E.g. in the way of "pedestr

I agree for "automatic" stuff / offers generally available to everyone. But I see no problem with Google avoiding a closer relationship / specific contracts.

A criticism is this being at the cost of the other crash participant (due to mass), thus it being a spiral were everyone will drive military tanks a bit down the line.

Loosing all benefit for other citizens while just mildly annoying those in power by putting pretend barriers in place? No, thanks. I'd really like to know who owns those 4-5 scrap bicycles standing around near my home, so they can be r

Yes, good vs bad shielding is what it all comes down to. Some examples I remember from my struggles in the past: Working hard to remove duplicates is great, but frequent reports have to be signaled as urgent to the devs. Then there is the t

Wait, you were talking about the US? I'm kind of surprised, since not being able to get "real painkillers" is one of the talking points I sometimes read about my local (german) system. Probably more focused on over-the-counte

There was a talk [0] at Chaos Communication Congress 2 years ago about the early "political bots hype". Sadly in german and I'm not sure how great the provided translation is. It e.g. calls out "more than 50 tweets per d

Totally agree. Short-ish term unemployment is (beside pensions) the only social program I can think of that pays out depending on what you payed in. Thus I also have a real problem with the sentiment of "you have contribute to get tak

1. I admit "select few" being hyperbole. The intended sentiment was it helping fewer people than it is screwing over. 2. Its nice you want to help the people who have it the worst. But you better be ready for the consequences, lik

Yes, and you can likely thank the backlash / such comments for this change of heart. Oh, you were implying they always highly valued Addons for their new FF? I don't see anything in this blog post supporting that stance.
