> There's much more of a focus on punishment instead of reintegration. Yup, this is a cultural thing. In the US, people (in general) want criminals to be punished, they don't put too much value in rehabilitation. It's very

I actually work in LE and video from domestic and commercial security cameras are always a major piece of information that we look for in every single investigation. So... Yes, LE gives a shit in many countries. However, also in many countr

Well then, since Google these days is slow as hell on slow internet, I guess users with slow internet are no longer important. When trying to find something on Google while visiting smaller towns in Germany, it's often down right unusa

Yes, both true, but in no way contrary to the statement you're replying to. Politicians in general are highly ignorant on technology and have no clue about the impact of ideas like this. They get advice from advisory boards populated b

This is true for many things, but mostly the ones you use often while driving. Windscreen wipers, temperature, volume, yes. Much of that, however, can be done on the steering wheel already. What annoys me is that many manufacturers are stil

As a European, I feel very thankful that the US has given up many of the luxuries (health care, social security, paid time off by law) we have here to fund a military to protect the world. My country has 2 fighter jets and a tank with a fla

How about an indication of the opposite? Since you stated that smart people "are better at answering all of the questions you listed". You seem to have completely missed the point of my comment though, which is that the questions

I really hope they'll release a firmware update for the controller, before they shut down Stadia, so it can be used as a regular Bluetooth HID controller. It already works like that through a USB-C cable, but not wirelessly, unfortunat
