  Would you also say that we have absolutely no way to confirm that Facebook managers know how addictive their apps are for children? I’m pretty sure that just a few years ago cynical people would say that. But only a couple of days ago this was proved in the court and Facebook lost the case.

  So yeah, I believe that taking the company’s word for it is generally a winning strategy, and that blatant violations are relatively rare. Here, MS has a lot to lose and not much to win.

  To mirror your question: do you really believe that a significant fraction of users will uncheck this checkbox?

  Personally, I think only a few percent will do this and Microsoft does not care about losing their data.

  I wonder what airspace authorities think about their “layered security”

  It’s a huge rigid structure which has to be light. I also thought of steel before I learned about carbon fiber.

  That would mean that a more progressive country could use it successfully

  It’s the carbon fiber which is very light and barely recyclable

  I dived deeper and found the full results of the eWayBW test and a summary. So far I don’t see there why the test was considered a failure. It’s all in German of course.

  Came here to say this. We tested this in Germany and this experiment failed. Too bad that they didn’t post the details then. I wish this had worked…

  I wish that AI keeps using more water than human use bottle water. But for a reason that the latter goes down.
