I think you're right that many (most?) CMPs are broken, though usually not deliberately. Most try to gate analytics and ad tracking on consent, just often misconfigured. The common exception is companies that deliberately hide Reject A

They can become a lot more expensive than $100, but the difference between a Littman Cardiology and the $15 EMT student stethoscope is night and day. > Currently, the stethoscope resulting from this project functions as well as the marke

Part of it is that webcams are nearly impossible to buy since the pandemic arose, but apart from that, webcam image quality is terrible - even expensive webcams in the price range of ~100's of Euro. A recent iPhone will wipe the floor

It also is in Ireland, but there are valid reasons, such as as replacing an ECU or dash cluster. Unless auto manufacturers are required to fit much more secure odometers, I can't see them in their current incarnation used as the basis

I was being slightly facetious in referencing tyre size, although people regularly have to adjust speedo/odometers by 10% or more when fitting large tyres on off-roaders. Odometers can have their values changed at will, at least in ICE

I don't think Odometers are reliable enough, especially as the basis for a tax. You'd certainly see an increase in average tyre size!

How do you track the number of Kms driven? Is it possible to do so while maintaining the privacy of individuals?

Only five US States don't have Sales Tax, and most counties and cities have their own, too.

Similarly, in Ireland where we run 230VAC single phase, three phase 400VAC allows up to 22kW to be delivered, which is about to become extremely useful as we migrate to electric transportation. Also, on safety, I don't know the statist

And more safely, as there is no possibility of superheating the water.

Interesting. In Ireland, they're referred to as RTCs (collisions), although still referred to as accidents in law. Never come across RTI before.

It's certainly not a ridiculous argument. Anonymity is a cornerstone of fair voting systems, and any system that allows votes to be deanonymised increases the risk of coercion. The same type of risk applies to postal voting, although w

Just a note: at sea, when the ratio of wave height to wave length exceeds 0.17, the wave will break, so a 1m by 1m is impossibly steep.

The 7-colour version doesn't support partial refresh and has a 15s refresh time (~0.067Hz refresh rate), so you'd want to be a really confident touch typist.

It also includes the DPIA, which in itself can be an expensive process. There was a lot of concern/press in Ireland pre-release about the privacy implications of the app. It's hot on the heels of a "mandatory but not compulso

I wasn't sure whether to remove that as a gratuitous adjective. Even without that claim, it's an interesting development, especially as the app cost only €850k. In contrast, our nearest neighbour scrapped their app last month afte

I don't think it's your wording that's confusing. You are contradicting the AMP documentation. AMP's documentation seems to indicate that the LTS is stable only for one month (new features released via the same URL each
