Of course he will. He knows he's going to jail if he doesn't stay in power so there's no reason not to try everything. He's too old to outlive his jail sentence so there's no risk of anything worse happening if he fails.

He wasn't supposed to be elected a 2nd time either, but Republicans are too cowardly (lots of death threats) or too greedy (threats to finance campaigns against them or think they can manipulate Trump for their own gain) to uphold their oaths and enforce the 14th Amendment (can't hold office after insurrection or rebellion).

I can't speak to the EU, but in USA you can collect bounties if you report vehicles that are able to be repossessed. There's automated license plate scanner software for this. Some people drive around parking lots looking for reportable vehicles. It's not a popular practice, but having a 24x7 camera and hooking it up is easy.

Two other angles are general traffic tracking and specific vehicle tracking. The general tracking is useful for ad metrics, as in how busy is this area at which times thus how much should we charge to put an ad nearby. The specific tracking is for paring parking lot cameras with these 'street' cameras and identifying which neighborhoods are shopping at which stores. That's useful for store placement planning and mail-based ad campaigns.

Sure, customers can only access video files for a limited time. You can bet the companies store metadata about what person or license plate entered into view a lot longer.

Effectively everything you did on a Kindle was tracked. Amazon's whole deal is spying on its customers (and its contractors and its employees. The company is excessively metric driven). Just because random employees couldn't randomly fuck around with that data doesn't mean they weren't collecting it.

Cells are grown. Chips are manufactured to exacting details. Do we really want biological computers where each one is a bit different and thus produce different results?

No, I think this'll increase tipping. Teenagers don't have access to cows like they once had.

WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? Trump was banned from YouTube on Jan 12th and Meta around Jan 7th. TRUMP WAS PRESIDENT AT THE TIME. He didn't pressure companies to ban himself. Those companies chose to ban him because his Jan 6th conduct didn't follow their ToS.

and

That is not the government censoring anything. That is companies choosing to use their free speech to block someone. They do it all the time to tons of people and it's perfectly legal. Those settlement payments were bribes to keep Trump's government from harassing them. IT'S THE COMPLETE OPPOSITE OF WHAT YOU'RE CLAIMING!

The government was sued for Joe's COVID censorship and it lost (or settled? I don't remember) and paid the companies some money.

You won't find the study you need to take your head out of the sand because it's an absurd claim that doesn't require direct studies. Applying your same argument to weight, you're claiming our population has always been this fat, we've only now noticed it because our digital scales are better. Apparently 50 years ago all the fat people hid in their homes naked. There's no study on that. Instead you can look at indirect metrics like clothing manufactures increasingly making and selling larger sized clothing.

The same with cancer rates. We're not screening young adults for cancer (well not yet anyway. As the rates increase we've been decreasing screening ages). These young adults are going into their Doctor office complaining about symptoms, like bloody stool, and that leads to uncovering the cancer. 30 years ago the amount of young people complaining about such symptoms was far lower. People weren't hiding these symptoms, they didn't have them thus they didn't have the cancer. The indirect metric here symptoms. More people today are reporting symptoms caused by cancer and that happens prior to its detection.

Plus there's some evidence right there in the summary:

If better detection was finding hidden cancers, you'd expect detection rates to increase across all age levels if that was the only thing that changed. Unless you believe prior rates were fraudulent and simply no one noticed that labs were lying about the cells they tested.

Yes. You can get filtered out (automatically or by HR) for having too large of a gap between jobs. The hiring manager will never see your resume. He'll just be told that there hasn't been any qualified applicants.

Because objectively they are the better candidate. That person will be more grateful to you for giving them the job thus they may put in more effort or be more loyal to your company. They need the job more and know it. The person already employed is job hoping which implies they won't be loyal to your company either. The unemployed stuck with their company until their job was lost. That's the person your company wants because he'll reduce your turnover rate.

And that's how and why I got hit by a car one early morning when I was walking home. Car was slowing down as if would stop like it was supposed to do, so I started crossing. Driver decided no one was around and hit the gas rather than stop and wait for the light.

Traffic laws make people behave predictably and thus everyone nearby (in cars, bikes, walking, etc...) can make assumptions on what you're going to do. This lets traffic flow relatively safely nearly all of the time. If people were allowed to ignore whatever rules they want when they think it's safe to do so, there would be far far more crashes. Almost every crash excuse already begins with "I didn't see him" or "He came out of nowhere!". Just because you think you're alone doesn't mean you are. I'm all for maximum charges against people like you. You risk killing multiple people or giving them life long disabilities out of your completely selfish desire to save 3-20 seconds.

There things called student drivers who are also new to driving and are training their brains how to do it properly. They get fined for breaking the law. "Consider it a teaching moment." Waymo should be taught a lesson too.

Google is free to build it's own private road network and fake city to test their cars. Just as people are free to teach themselves to drive on their own private roads/load without issue. Once you get on public roads, you're required to follow the related laws regardless of your driving skill.

In USA, voting registration requirements are up to local laws. If they're complicated in your area that's because the people in charge want it to be complicated for you. That's frequently the case in order to reduce the 'wrong' people from voting as most of those people would vote against the current people in charge.

A digital ID in the USA would mean every company would ask for it when you sign up for random services. That way they'd know your real identify and could successfully block and ban you if you break their ToS or just don't want to do business with you. You can always lie about your name, birthdate, and can get new emails address or phone number. You can't get a new government id on a whim. While that might sound great for removing trolls, a lot of these service bans are from user submitted reports. You can go on most platforms and submit a bunch of baseless reports against a target to get them auto-banned. A ban from Google could break your email, your phone, your tables, Google Docs, your online photos, etc... A ban from Microsoft could kill your local PC and risk losing access to all your files on it (TPM linked encryption linked to your Microsoft account). Etc... Further, anything you said in the past will now be linked to your identity since that account will be linked to your true identity. Said anything about Charlie K six years ago? Now people may harass you for that comment, get your work to fire you, etc... Any mistake or embarrassing thing you've done will follow you forever. Linking your speech to your identify greatly suppresses what people say. It doesn't change how they feel, it changes how the present themselves. For a society to function well, it's important to know how people actually feel about things.

You need an app to use Tesla's charging network and you need an app for a lot of the older chargers. However nearly all of the ones installed in the past few years have credit card terminals on them (and your mapping app can prefer those). I've never had an app not work and even if it did fail, you generally keep a 60 mile reserve which gives you plenty of range to stop at a nearby charger. Chargers tend to be clustered, so you drive forwards or backwards 5 minutes to the next one. That's often faster than waiting in line too. I've had to wait twice in the past 2 years, making 9-16 hour trips each major holiday.

What you do need is data on your mobile phone so your mapping app can find those chargers. It cost me 500MB for a 9 hour trip. That's 1GB for a round trip which means I have to buy a data pack add-on whenever I travel for the holidays.

I live in an apartment. I charge using a heavy duty extension cable from the back patio to the driveway. It works fine.

The planning required is literally just using a different mapping app (ABRP). You can even export the destinations and import into your preferred mapping app.
