It's road design, speed limits and enforcement (or lack thereof on the US).

Key word here bring "capabilities". Stasi did a lot worse with a lot less because the authoritarian and intolerant ideology that brought Stasi about was in itself a lot worse.

I don't get this attitude. If something is technologically/scientifically feasible, it will get invented, and it will get perfected and it will get used. Military drones, human cloning, designer babies, you name it. Taking t

You're on a site where at least half the commenters are anonymous, and evidently the discussion level here is good enough for you to stay. Conversely, Facebook is not any less cancerous because they have a real name policy. So no, I&#x

It's not at all clear to me that the quality of life is better in Germany than it is in Canada. Or, if we nature it down, in Berlin vs Toronto. Having spent only a few months in Germany and bring from Canada, my guess would be the oppo

The original is full of barely comprehensible jargon, obscure code-speak, intentional spelling mistakes, etc.

Should their point of view just not be heard then, in such discussions?

Sure they are, in modern times. If there's an overwhelming majority that wants independence, a state will eventually secede. In a democratic or even a hybrid system, a country's politics, laws and constitution eventually change to

I use it to keep in touch with distant family and friends, and for the messenger, and find your assertion hilarious. Even if the twelve Firefox extensions blocking and sandboxing the hell out of it will somehow fail, so what? A toaster ad w

On the first day, God created The Deepfake Algorithm. On days 2-6, he waited patiently as the The Algorithm auto-generated history up to and including yesterday. Day 7 is today.

No problem. All your favourite online services are no longer free though, what a bummer. Will it be a lite, regular or premium Google maps subscription? How about Facebook Messenger?

Perhaps if the "anti-car" argument is framed more precisely, you'll see that it's entirely consistent with using a car for those 4:30 am trips to the airport. What all these efforts seek to minimize is not all car travel

Rome should not be on that list IMO. Its public transport is terrible, at least in the centre. Still preferable to having to drive there though, that's for sure. I'm sure it's not true of every part of the city, but I was unp

My guess is that the vast majority of people wouldn't pay. Firstly, because it's notoriously difficult to get people to pay for something that used to be free. Lack of tracking and respect for privacy is not something most people

Also, plenty of useless junk is peddled through "word of mouth" (MLM, anyone?). Fake reviews, paid word of mouth - banning ads won't ban marketing, it will just force marketers to change tactics to ones that aren't clear

You would need to pay for such an ad-free internet in some way, other than being an ad target. This is a critical point of you expect the variety and quality of this ad-free internet to approach what we have now.

It can easily be a matter of timing/bootstrapping. Great idea, great service, not enough word of mouth initially, business burns through cash and fails. Who's better off? Established incumbents, of course. This would create a comp

A great many potential escape room customers are not looking specifically for escape rooms, they're looking for something fun to do in the area. So, again, no ability to advertise would be a gigantic advantage to established incumbents
