Pretty stupid article. It should say "presentations are useless when you do it wrong"

"Rather" is not a verb.
The correct use is "Most people would rather have a robot stealing their job..."

Long story short guys: Apple Maps will be more beautiful than ever, and as useless as ever in finding locations you need

Sounds vague and intentionally scary. What exactly was "leaking" in incognito mode, when it does not share cookies or other similar data with main browser? Incognito is like installing and launching another browser in which you are not logged into any of your accounts. What would "leak" there?

This actually annoys me. There is hundreds of car accidents per day. People literally die right on the scene. It happens daily. But no one bans cars.
But when some people get injured on a freaking scooter, a tech that is finally convenient enough to actually be friendly to navigating a car-less city of the 21-century, they ban it outright "until we find a solution".
Right... No car lobby here dudes! Nothing to see!

This is just an example of a silly "flat earth conspiracy" thinking. Every company has to abide to the rules of the country it operates in. Google abides US rules as much as it abides EU rules.

This does not make any sense to me. Hydrogen is just a mean of energy transport. Someone has to make energy for you, whether it is electricity or hydrogen does not really matter. Roof solar battery is not enough to power your house alone, leave alone also powering a car.

OMG this is stupid. Instead of banning cities that wanted to ban it will instead impose 50c tax on each straw. Boom, same results.

I come from Eastern European country. I am not used to filing my taxes, and yes I find it inundating to fill in taxes in US
BUT
I also find that if you file as a "simple person", with a single w2, then it is actually very easy. Yes, it is harder than in my country, but it also reminds you, that you are paying your money to the government. The money you have earned. No you don't earn 40k, you earn 55k, and you forfeited 15k to the government. You paid them dude. So you can expect stuff. In countries without this "simple people" often see taxes as weather, something that just exists and you can't do anything about, often they don't even know how much taxes they are paying.
And also I find that this cumbersome process actually is complex because it gives you hundreds of ways to save money depending on the life situation if you are smart enough to use them. It is highly optional to use them. You don't have to. Leave money on the table and file simple. Your choice.
And even if you pay to attorney to do you taxes for you, I don't see it as a burden because in "other Western nations" it is still done for you, just by the government agencies that using your money you paid in taxes (that are much higher than those $100)! And you cannot opt out and do it yourself, or do it with TaxAct or something else.
So again, yeah freedom is pretty cumbersome. Making choices and decisions, it's hard. But begging for someone to take the choice away because you're too inundated to spend your will power to make the choice is just weird.
