<p>The main argument for this seems to be that they catch many pedos by using image recognition tech on facebook etc.<p>Thus, discontinuing the permit to use these techniques did have enforcement numbers of those crimes found drop significantly.<p>I'm wondering if they've given up real policing of these crimes completely?!<p>Spreading pedo content on Facebook, those people have to be the dumbest of the dumb? Everyone spending even a single critical thought on their crimes won't be caught by this.<p>And they say enforcement numbers drop significantly? Meaning they don't catch many other people? What the fuck are they even doing? Did they completely give up trying to find the real criminals, and instead fall back on sugar-coated figures to conceal that failure?</p>

<p>Our Mercedes:<p>- beeps about the speed limit, especially if it misses a sign. For example every  time starting on a parking lot it keeps the 5 kph even after multiple turns<p>- warns about leaving the lane, including trying to stay on the lane by slightly couter steering while ignoring yellow construction lines<p>- Sometimes when moving off from a standstill in a queue, it triggers all "careful you're about to crash into something"-warnings. I suspect it's detecting exhaust gasses from a car in front?<p>- You must not, ever, touch the turn signal to announce your will switch lanes soon, while there is still a car next to you. You'll get a loud, obnoxious warning tone. This one is especially annoing as it makes sleeping as a passenger on the autobahn basically impossible.</p>

<p>I'm right now adding rabbitmq for notification pushing to a website. Using JWT authentication to control where and what clients are allowed to read, with short lifetimes and regular token refresh.<p>I don't see another setup that comes close to the ease of setting this up - add an endpoint that provides jwt tokens to valid sessions, done. With user-individual permissions.</p>

<p>That's intersting to see.<p>Does the api support progress reporting? ("30 % done")<p>Of course one could build this manually when you're building the worker implementation but I'd love to have it reflected in the api somewhere. Celery also seems to be missing api for that.<p>Anyone sees a reason why that's missing? I don't think it complicates the api much and seems such an obvious thing for longer-running background tasks.</p>

<p>> One issue I have with her is her insistence that alternative video platforms, such as Odysee/LBRY, will never have a chance against YouTube<p>Youtube is free to do whatever they want on their own platform, within the law. Arguing that they dominate the market brings antitrust laws into play here. On these grounds their TOS about ContentID (basically we'll decide whatever we want and you'll take it) can be evaded.</p>
