whats wrong with personalized ads? is it much different from booking different TV channels for different audiences?

Not even the commies put corpes in their parliament
That’s business. Bmw isn’t a cost effective brand in the first place, so anyone on a budget shouldn’t complain in the first place

People with less might just not complain loudly
We need to view this seperate issues:
One is putting all options into a car and only making them available to customers who pay. This somewhat makes sense, and while it is annoying, it might benefit customers and automakers alike.
The other is making a hardware option a subscription. I personally hate that, but it just might make sense. People also rent houses and lease cars, why not add some customisation?
There might be a third question: Why do people even buy Beamers?
The only thing that matters is voting with your wallet
It’s about density. Renewables Are great, but not on terms of value add per square foot. The coal under the wind mill is worth orders of magnitude more than the windmill.
And, it’s not as bad as it sounds. In general, the number of windmills keeps increasing.
That actually makes a difference to me.
I think civil rights for minorities are super important.
I find marriage much less important. It’s essentially just a symbol. (Or is it about the tax benefits and legal protections in case of death? That’s substantial)
Well, legal rights depend on the law. So when arguing about the law it’s silly to refer to legal rights. It’s like conservatives who want to keep pot banned because it’s illegal.
What do you think about a triangular marriage with three people?
I’m pro gay marriage, and merely attempted to reconstruct the opposing logic, and apparently failed halfway through.
Now, whats homophobic about this? The fact that in general to people of the same sex won’t reproduce? That seems about as outrageous as the thought that obesity is a medical condition.
I disagree with the article. It appears to make two points, both don’t convice me.
The first one is about a political donation made by the founder 15 years ago to the tune of 1000 USD. It was against gay marriage. While I somewhat support gay marriage, I find it totally acceptable to be opposed to it. It depends on what marriage means, and people don’t agree on that. For some people it just means a strong bond, stronger than a normal relationship. With this definition, gay marriage isn’t an issue.
But to other people marriage is an envelope that’s supposed to foster reproduction and family building. With this definition gay marriage isn’t exactly straightforward. Neither should it be for people with fertility problems and women over 50 in general. Are convervatives also against that? I guess they should. Whatever. I started off thinking I could defend the stance, now i don’t think i did. Either way, ditch a browser over this nonsense?
And if Tim Berners Lee spews some BS, will you stop using the Internet? Or if your country elects a stupid president, will you boycott the country and leave temporatily?
The other issue is what Brave does with ads. While I agree it is imperfect, I think in general the approach is among the better ones around.
I guess snipers are the first ones to be picked off by enemy drones(think nicht vision).
I expect the drone pilots to be relatively safe.
I think even In WW1 most days didn’t see much action in the trenches. So slow ‘progress’ with drones is better than no progress. Also, the drones are obviously auxiliary, and not the main strategy
But competition. If there’s another app that pays out 80%, it will have more drivers and be cheaper.
If Russia wins, the war is over, but the people won’t enjoy peace under Putin’s KGB gang.
Also, the soldiers have probably spent months in trenches, and 99.99% of the time there isn’t a drone to spot. After a while they just won’t even look for one.
The effectiveness is huge. Just consider the k/d ratio.
And also the money spent per kill.
If you’re in any way accustomed to military expenditures, the cost of these drone kills is negligible.
I guess his ex wife will need to fund methane capture programs now to tidy up his mess
I never expected ride hailing apps to save money. Where from? Taxis were never a high margin business with some superfluous middleman.
Could there be some decentralized ride hailing platform?
That’s Like saying I don’t pay rent to the landlord, the house has already been built.
If a society agrees on this being right, no more houses will be built. And no movies will be made.
