There’s probably a market for targeting people matching not only a demographic category but the combination of one and attempts to keep it private, like religious conservatives who browse gay porn in incognito mode or seemingly progressive people who have right-wing views they keep secret.
A good start.
Hopefully this is like the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989: the tipping point when the authorities realise that they no longer have authority.
Threadbare. In cities like NYC, it approximates European transport, though is somewhat more dysfunctional. Elsewhere, you have things like “commuter rail” (like a regio/S-bahn, only with next to no off-peak service, running solely as a shuttle between CBDs and dormitory suburbs). There’s Amtrak, but it’s slow and infrequent and runs on tracks owned by freight railroads, and often is delayed by hours from waiting for freight trains to pass. Bus services have a stigma, associating them with poor (and typically non-white) people, to the point where people who have a choice avoid them, and vote to minimise the amount of their tax money that goes to pay for them. And in some Republican states, the government has scrapped even buses, replacing them with Uber vouchers mailed to households.
So yes, DB is creaking and needs investment to bring it up to scratch, but its service levels (even when wracked by delays) are utopian compared to most of the US.
“Adrenaline-style policing”: new policing methodology just dropped. What are the pros and cons of it versus, say, Peelian community policing?
I’m guessing it hasn’t been deemed noteworthy enough to add to Unicode alongside Shavian.
Ned Kelly, Squizzy Taylor, Chopper and this guy
A woman who was not known for her conformity to gender norms. It’s not unlikely that their shared queerness was what kept them together.
Every country has its Big Balls.
As the age verification technology would forcibly deanonymise all EU users, opening a huge new vein of behavioural surveillance data to the zuckerbots.
If the US dumps NATO, that’s all the more reason to increase defence funding. Either that or start learning Russian.
You love to see it.
A social liberal is a neoclassical liberal who has been arrested. A neoclassical liberal is a social liberal who got a larger than expected tax bill.
Maybe then they can finally plan cross-border rail links that line up and work, rather than wrangling separate national rail systems into some sort of uneasy cooperation.
IIRC, Spotify watches the system volume and doesn’t pay for streams playing when it’s muted. Physically unplugging your speakers should work, though.
If you’re going to name a cat that, adopt two and name the other Weed or something.
He gave his name to the sin of swaggarcy, of diverting church funds to pay for sex.
Isn’t Spain’s left-wing government on the ropes with a corruption scandal, and likely to be replaced by a hard-right government soon?
About 500m or, if I want to go to a larger supermarket, about 2km.
