Yep and also their 'click paths' (<- love that by the way) are trained on READMEs which are often out of date.

Indeed, it's like those complaining self-driving cars occasionally crash when their crash rates are up to 90% less than humans . . .

Absolute madness or complete nonsense - I have neither an Apple account or device, nor a Google account or mandated device (e/os on Fairphone 3+) and operate perfectly successfully in the UK with (almost [1.]) zero friction.

1. Revolut app stopped working so I emptied my account and opened a Wise account which is fully administer-able from their website. Revolut has subsequently started working again after a couple of app/OS updates.

New comment by 6LLvveMx2koXfwn in "I want to wash my car. The car wash is 50 meters away. Should I walk or drive?"

> Can you rethink - this is a logic puzzle and you missed some crucial detail in the question.

>> Ah, you're right! Let me reconsider... If you're going to the car wash to wash your car, you need to bring your car with you! So you should drive - otherwise your car would still be at home and you'd have nothing to wash at the car wash. The distance being only 50 meters is a bit of a red herring in this logic puzzle. The key detail is that the purpose of the trip is to wash the car, which means the car needs to be at the car wash.

In case anyone couldn't be bothered to Wiki, a baktun is 394.26 tropical years (aka years!). So 'a few bactuns back' might sound like a jiffy but could in fact be a millennium or more!

> I find it re-assuring that judges get different answers under different scenarios

Unfortunately, as the aptly titled 'Noise' [1] demonstrated o so clearly, judges tend to make different judgement calls in the same scenarios at different times.

They do do this as well - but speeding was/is such a people killing epidemic and cameras scaled better than people and are cheaper.
