Well, if you like going to those sites, it does become your problem as the more people who block ads, the less revenue they generate, and then their content will start to get worse, and eventually they'll disappear. It's not that I don't generally agree with you, but that point is clearly false.
Abject nonsense. You sound like you've seen your tiny slice of the world and extrapolated that to cover the entire globe. Other parts of the world have managed to figure out public transport just fine.
There are plenty of sparsely-populated public transport networks which have great service. Systems based on the "Karlsruhe" system service cities and provide links to other cities in the area, and the countless small towns in the countryside between. It sounds like Texans can't figure this stuff out, but others have for decades.
You really have no idea, do you? Do you assume the world ends where your perception of it does? There are plenty of places all over the world (some even in the US!) which have wonderful public transport that provides faster journeys than by car, and is convenient. Your tax comment is a bit weird, as taxes go in to maintaining the road infrastructure for private drivers as well.
You do realise that with every post like this you're broadcasting to the world what a terrible driver you are, right? Were you expecting people to read it and think "I, too, am a terrible driver. I now dislike autonomous cars because they can't screw up as much as I do"? The mind boggles...
You seem to be confusing your broken, dysfunctional part of the world with the entire world. This is going to blow your mind, but some places have great health certification, and great taxis. Those are the places which are fighting companies which seek to decrease the standard by which they do business.
Many straw men do not a compelling argument make. I'm sure you had fun concocting your illustrative fantasy, but it remains that - a fantasy. Thanks for playing.
So Walloon doesn't get a look in? You were caught out. Admit it. Plus you didn't actually read article 13, as it states they will process the data internally, and that it is kept in accordance with Belgian & EU data protection laws.
Or because they're developing an automotive computing system which is intended to be able to replace an entire dashboard should the market want. It needs this data to function properly. If it was just a dumb music player/gps system you'd have a point, but as it isn't, you don't have a point.
Nonsense. Court rulings have shown that users of their services are the users and not the product. People who buy this system are paying money for it, and are clearly not the product.
"The next thing you know" - so you are merely guessing. If Google is making an automotive operating system, it makes sense that they'd want that data. Google should be asking for this stuff, as it's needed by their OS to provide car-centric apps with car-centric data. It's a lot more than just an audio entertainment system, which you know if you've read anything about what they're doing.
Your idea of a stupid feature is someone else's idea of a great feature. You are not the arbiter what what is useful or useless, sucky or awesome.
Therefor anyone who questions anything relating to computers and gender is instantly exactly like them and should be ignored. Gotcha. Yay for stereotypes and generalisations!
But he doesn't always give rational answers. That's the thing. Just saying it's only SJWs who have a problem with unprofessional, irrational behaviour is only ensuring this will continue. I know it's easy to paint those you don't like with a simple term to identify them as "them", but it really doesn't help your argument if you hand-waive their complaints away through some childish ad hominem. Seriously, it's embarrassing.
Hint: In London, the taxis & cabs are not dirty or expensive, and the prices are set by the local government. You're not doing yourself or Uber any favours by spouting nonsense.
But you're not suggesting improving anything, just removing a system which is working very well. This is London, not New York. Don't confuse the two otherwise you'll end up looking rather foolish...
Europe is a large place, so making massive generalisations like that is very likely going to make you wrong. As I have had excellent taxi service across Europe, I can't agree with your claims, and I guess my anecdote disproves your assertion.
It's not overpriced, and anyone can become a minicab driver if they wish - the barriers are not stiff at all. If you are a business traveler, you'd hail a black cab instead of a minicab and none of this will be of any concern to you - no app needed at all, except to stand next to the road and raise your hand.
Clearly you don't understand London and its taxi system, but don't let that stop you!
Then you were still wrong. OS360 is not Unix. You xenophobes are not usually known for your factual awareness, but well done for admitting you were wrong.

Seeing as many gay people are not "out", there is no way that statistic can be thought of as accurate.

There you go again vomiting nonsense on your keyboard. Was your dad raped by a tram?

Metaphysics and phrenology are both nonsense, hence Rei's rhetorical question.

Protip: If you need to go back 187 years to prove a point about today, your point just might be abject bullshit.

Please show where, on the car, the emissions come out. Please do that. Please. "100 miles away in a power station" does not count as being on the car.
Did he hurt your wittle feewings? Awww poor boy. It's OK the nasty man is gone.

Your trite nonsense doesn't change that.
