It is illegal, but compliance is not enforced to the degree that it should. Companies get away with a lot of GDPR infractions, unfortunately.

Kinda looks like a low-quality executive summary of a longer text. I agree, it's garbage.

Both far-right and far-left are bad, and often in many ways actually quite close to each other.

How? Looks like a bog standard corporate website to me, and it would surprise me if they would let their highly skilled programmers spend time on creating the website.

60% efficiency? How do these power plants manage to circumvent the limit set by Carnot efficiency?

What surprised me in the video is that Alec was telling how his engine can charge his battery while in the car wash. I had a 2016 Auris which I had to put it in neutral in the car …

Absolutely, but there are many programs that don't use that accent color, making it less useful than it should be.

Also some, or even many, people think that intercontintental communications use satellites rather than cables.

I don't really think so. Already in the first stages of this outbreak we're not doing any quarantine, instead we're infecting airline passengers and personnel and let them spread t…
