That's not how AirTags work, though.

Not necessarily.

Interchange rates in Europe are capped at an order of magnitude lower than in the US. The economics of rewards credit cards just don't work out in Europe.

Hasn't been American in a while, though. It's been British owned for at least a decade before this recent purchase.

Enterprises already use Wifi to track customers in stores (albeit in a very simple way compared to the new capabilities). This will enable stores to track customers to a much higher degree.

It's such a bad attempt for the West to wiggle out of its own responsibility. Especially the US has a crazy high CO2 emission per capita. That's a much more damning number that should lead to action.

Sadly there is no fix for stupidity.

I think condescending really is the wrong approach to people that have crazy beliefs like climate change deniers, holocaust deniers and anti-vaxxers. These are people that choose to believe in something dogmatic that is absolutely not cover

Had a team mate on Starlink and they would drop from our zoom call essentially every single time.

I have yet to find anything that reads as nicely as Latex generated papers with Computer Modern.

You absolutely do not have that freedom. Every country has their own rules and has it in their power to prevent you from moving to their country permanently.

The head of the military in Germany actually is the parliament.

I actually find this super irritating in American restaurants. Just let us enjoy our meal in peace...

No, it was found to have a statistically significant influence on grey matter volume.

I always wonder. The CIA/NSA must essentially target the big Amazon, google and microsoft clouds to get blanket access to everything running and stored there. Seems like a no brainer from their standpoint.

That's not true. $58B worth of goods were delayed for a few days. That definitely didn't cost anything even remotely that much.

One could also just use the current version of that car to compare to other cars. VW has been making that type of car forever and still does.

Some of the novellas were actually part of the show.

I have the same ones, I changed the ear pads and the one on the top and they are as good as new. The sound is amazing and I doubt I'll buy any new ones until they break.

With respect to what metric? I am pretty sure that the VW was way bigger with regards to market cap and corrected for inflation, etc.

In Europe, many countries have radio signals that many clocks use to sync their time that is based on some atomic clocks. For example, in Germany these are called Funkuhr and the signal comes from an atomic clock in Braunschweig if I'm

Fair enough. But that revenue would still be missing if everybody would switch to EV and it will have to be made up by taxing electricity used for charging car batteries. Also, a Toyota Corolla for example only weighs 2,910 to 3,150 lbs acc

How does $100 even compare? Currently in California there is a 79.6 cent tax(18.4 federal + 61.2 state) on a gallon of gasoline (I googled and it came up with a price of $3.36 per gallon. That boils down to a ~24% tax on gasoline. So for sp

I don't think electricity will increase in price, but electricity used for moving a car will be taxed much like gasoline currently is. So the electricity used at home will stay the same, but the one used in car battery chargers will be

So this is something I keep asking myself. The largest part of the savings comes from the fact that electricity is much cheaper compared to gasoline on a 100km basis. Now, the reason gasoline is so expensive is the massive amount of taxes c

It's probably also rooted in the fact that the owner/CEO of facebook is much richer and better connected.

The EU is not Australia, so court cases in the EU have 0 impact on Australian ones, no? Further, it seems that Google won through a technicality, that the European Commission hadn't been notified of the new regulation and on these grou

I don't think wine is seen as a luxury good in most of Europe. Pretty big part of the local culture in most countries (at least France, Spain, Germany, Italy).
