Wait, now it sounds like you're discussing the parent comment in this thread and not it's sibling comment.

I thought that this was the comment we are discussing:

>> You know this will cause more emigration right?

>So? That's awesome!

How is that "arguably flamebait"? It's just an enthusiastically affirmatory response to an yes/no question.

An user asked me "You know this will cause more emigration right?" How is an affirmative answer supposed to be flamebait or unsubstantive? I would definitely love to hear those arguments.

>Cameras are only really relevant in Europe. We don't really have these in the US. I do get the cops angle - google maps doesn't really do this.

Well yeah, in Europe we don't have cops on the roads. In the US you don't have cameras, but have cops everywhere. You still want Waze in either case, probably more so for the cops.

>PRICE OF THE MODEL IN THE VIDEO: 185.269 EUR

This has to be including local taxes, which in some EU countries can double the price of a car.

Great, your Tesla has better infotainment than ... a Toyota.

> * Waze is way too "chatty" for my taste

You can adjust that.

>- re: waze - huh? Google Maps is just fine. The differences are such a personal preference that they are moot.

Waze tells you where cameras and cops are, Google Maps usually does not.

>- The touch controls on Carplay are not great. Try pinching and zooming on Google Maps in Carplay and its awful. (note - I do think Tesla misses the boat on having more physical controls as they almost rely entirely on touch...which is unsafe and not great)

I don't think I've ever needed to do this, it always automatically positions the map correctly.

>Looks awesome, but that appears to be on a €185k ICE car.

Pretty sure the pricing starts at €94,540. They also have an EV at around the same price, but it's an all-around worse car.

Why on earth should Twilio have KYC controls during account opening?

Tesla is far behind everyone else on navigation due to the simple fact that Teslas do not have Carplay. There's no Waze on Teslas, how can you drive without it?

But here's how the current Mercedes navigation looks https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DCgy3askMcM The AR stuff works really well and is arguably way ahead of anything Tesla offers.

It's not really surprising, the 3 big German automakers spent around 3 billion USD to buy (at least at the time) the best mapping product on the market.

> Outside of scrap, also electronics stores over here have signs now which denote the amount of electronics you can carry over the border into the Russia (not exceeding the value of 300€) which suggests there is a reason to do so.

Yeah, sanctions. Luxury goods are limited to 300 euros. https://tulli.fi/en/-/import-and-export-sanctions-on-goods-a...

The purpose is not to disrupt Russian military supply chains, but to make Muscovites pay higher prices for their grey market iPhones.

>Related to your article, if something sounds ridiculous it's the explanation given in your article of the unemployed man travelling from Russia to take drone pictures of a cottage for a friend. Very reminiscient of the two "tourists" "just visiting" Salisbury.

The Norwegian government agreed that his story checked out. Also, I'd suppose that wealthy unemployed men make up a decent chunk of tourism in general.

Your article says nothing about the nature of the surveillance. It does not in any way dispute my previous comments.

If it was about nepotism, we'd presumably be talking about an officer and not an agent.

>Apparently valuable enough to do a prisoner exchange for.

You don't do prisoner exchanges because of the valuable contributions of that agent, you do prisoner exchanges to ensure future contributions by other agents.

>I also doubt the quality of the optics in Russian satellites.

They're just fine. What kind of quality do you think they need to hit a power plant with a missile? Most of their missiles aren't that precise anyway.

There's only an extremely limited set of circumstances where drone footage of power infrastructure could be useful.

This is typical busy work given to agents to make them feel important, and to test their loyalty and ability to accomplish tasks provided. For the most part, it's not actually supposed to result in useful intelligence.

Also there's a huge difference between tracking military equipment movements and power infrastructure. Power infrastructure doesn't move and can't really be hidden.

Nobody cares about who you are. You are nothing but an extremely sad irrelevant person that considers being on irc for 29 years some sort of an achievement.

This is an obviously fake story. Similar to the consumer drone panic that's been going on in the Nordics.

A few months ago all the Nordic medias seemed convinced that this guy with his "4 terabytes of encrypted data" must have been a Russian spy, of course that turned out to not be true. (Russia has satellites, the idea that they'd need people to go scout out Nordic infrastructure with consumer drones was and is preposterous)

This is how you end up doxed, hacked, SWATed and with fake blogs created in your name advocating legalisation of pedophilia and whatnot.

It's better to just not. If you spend any amount of time running IRC networks you will soon discover that there are plenty of people who see this as a game, you're probably not up to play.

Yeah, the world would be a vastly better place if people like you were locked in a small room and never fed.

> I think GDPR violations are a civil thing only (?).

Correct, however most countries have various related criminal offences. (e.g https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2018/12/section/170/ena...) It's extremely unlikely any of these would be relevant in this context though.

>EU-based governments are at least honest about their intent of spying on their citizens, where the collection & processing of said data is at least subject to due process and can potentially be challenged in court.

Not really. It can be challenged in court in that anything can be challenged in court. There's no real due process.

How could it not be? More labour for the rest of us. Economically the benefits of immigration are unquestionable, despite scaremongering by the Western right.

How can the bank curtail such behaviour? Is the logic that Epstein should have been entirely denied access to banking services?

> Why on earth wouldn't you want the bank to be held partially responsible?

Because the idea that criminals shouldn't be allowed access to banking services is fucking vile. Anyone seriously suggesting this genuinely deserves to be burnt on a stake. Not allowing convicted criminals to vote is bad, but this is infinitely worse.

What next? Shall we require sex offenders to wear special armbands and allow casual violence against them as they try to navigate society?

Would that necessarily cost way more than the custom lenses needed for glasses?

Maybe it's obviously bullshit to attempt to hold one of the biggest banks in the US responsible for the behaviour of a single client?

Wow, I guess some right-wing anti-immigration lunatics flagged my other comment. But I will repeat it, emigration from India is a very good thing.

> You know this will cause more emigration right?

So? That's awesome!

>So no, this isn't a lapse of justice. just good negotiating or good lawyers.

Nothing suggests that it's even either of those, this is just an entirely predictable outcome.

It inflicts real economic pain on the country, ever-so-slightly stunting it's growth. This kind of self-sabotage by India is good for the rest of us. (Of course it'd be even better if India wasn't so fucked up, but this is the world we live in)

In which countries is it genuinely difficult to switch banks?

We in the rest of the world should absolutely celebrate the Indian regime shooting themselves in the foot like this. Let's keep posting anti-BJP content on Github and hope they will block it entirely.

It's very well documented that less than 20% of BEC losses in the US are recovered.
