it's an advanced technique to produce a gliding sound

I don't disagree but it seems to me it's going crescendo, with de facto monopolies running the show and buying anything that could be an obstacle, be it other companies or policymakers.

That there are such wild variations in price between countries shows how little that subscription is correlated to any actual costs.

At best subscribers in richest countries are subsidizing poorer ones, but most probably, Google is just trying to maximize the amount of money they can extract from everyone's pocket. The repeated seemingly random price hikes seem to confirm this hypothesis. It's just the MBAs enforcing terminal stage capitalism and ruining everything that is good.

Mais je t'en prie :)

I don't disagree, i'm simply trying to present a somewhat less extreme (and therefore i think more appealing) version of your argument

It supposedly comes from originaly counting in base 20 ( a.k.a : vigesimal system) in some proto-european language. There are traces of it in breton, albanese, basque and danish for example. Even in english, there is a reminiscence of vigesimal, in the "score", see for example Lincoln's Gettysburg Address which famously starts with : "Fourscore and seven years ago...", meaning 87 years ago.

You don't even have to rig a bomb, a better analogy to the sensor spoofing would be to just shine a sufficiently bright light in the driver's eyes from the opposite side of the road. Things will go sideways real quick.

There's a typo in the title. If you go back to the original source (in french), it's actually 79,5 % efficiency, so even better than the article's title would have you believe.

This proposal is bonkers. Imagine aaaall the nudes that will have to be manually assessed by police (until they outsource it because it's cheaper), and then you have to believe they won't keep anything and that there are zero bad apples.

Besides, if the tools are already in place in the apps, it's only a question of time before the detection system is repurposed for censorship of anything a totalitarian leaning government doesn't like. Memes about our dear leader? I'm afraid we can't allow that !

You can't have a backdoor that works for the good guys only.

Could you elaborate on why zero-k is better than BAR in your opinion?
