Republicans repeatedly blocked Bidens attempts to forgive student loans. It has been clear for a long time that Republicans do not support access to education at any level given their attempts to attack DoE, promote charter schools, attack libraries, and pretty much any pro-education stance.

I can't wait for another poll to shockingly show he's slid to his lowest approval of 39% - again.

I swear for the past half year I've heard every news agency post an article every other week about his support "slipping to 39%"

You can track/identify people in range of a wifi router based on how the wifi signal is disrupted.

I believe that the original people claimed you could ID individual people using their approach, but I suspect that's under ideal conditions and/or with some training against individual people.

It either means he legitimately didn't know anything or that he doesn't think there is any evidence to support he did know/did anything. I'm pretty sure if they had anything concrete on him, the Trump admin would have gone after him, simply to divert away from everything theyre doing.

The issue with doing this under oath is that if any evidence comes out to the contrary it's an easy conviction. Not that he hasn't weasled around lying under oath before, but it is higher stakes than just making a public statement.

So I looked it up and as I thought, the core basis of sorting for reddit is based on a weighting algorithm looking at thumbs/comments. People suspect that other information, like locality are used to (hence you typically get posts in your language), but there is supposedly limited user based info used in the ranking of posts (people generally see the same content on r/all)

What I was hypothesising is that reddit wants to get rid of r/all so they can create a more tiktok/Instagram like feed based on individual user behavior. Both to make the app more addicting and/or have greater control/influence on what you do/don't see.

In this economy?

It's amazing what tariffs and uncertainty can do to an economy.

You do realize that means they are live driving the car, maybe not 100% of the time, but waymo is having unlicensed drivers operating vehicles on US roads.

Additionally, this means they have people in another country taking over the cars when things failed and are potentially in a dangerous situation (where the ping might be a bigger issue).

Overall, we get big corporations able to skirt laws and pay people less money.

Oh wow, I didn't realize how crazy race/ethnicity can get in Europe. I figured the term must be overloaded, but how do you even define/track ethnically German?

Your comments on over policing of marginalized people though is definitely a good call-out.

It was $51k for a used car.

If it was new I could understand, but that much for a used car is crazy. I'm guessing she had to buy when used car prices were almost the same as new, but I feel like that's still a lot.

How are they defining "foreigner" here, cause non-German citizens accounting for a 1/3 of all crime sounds really high and concerning.

To be honest, having a third of your population be immigrants sounds crazy too. Even in the US it's only about 1/6th the population and half of those are naturalized citizens.
