They don't need the cooperation of telecom providers. They receive the same signal you send to the cell tower. Even if the signal is encrypted so they can't see what you are sending, they can identify that you are sending.

With enough receivers listening, they can identify your location to a pretty high accuracy.

Privacy policies are irrelevant here. They are picking up unique data as your phone communicates with a cell tower. You can do it with a $15 RTL-SDR receiver.

Get a hundred receivers and you can pinpoint anybody in a city.

Ok. You're fired. Pack your shit, hand the nuclear keys to Corporal Couchfucker, and GTFO.

Reviews are one of the things that online storefront platforms consider in their algorithms. More reviews means their algorithm pushes my listings in front of a few more faces, and I get to make a little more money.

I don't ask for reviews myself. The people who do are trying to game their platform's algorithms.

Wealth tax would be deadly for French economy, says Europe’s richest man

Yes. And?

Indeed.

Unfortunately, no matter how well you tune your carburetor, just a change in atmospheric temperature is enough to throw off your mixture.

The only feasible way to adjust it fast enough to keep up with atmospheric changes is with some kind of fuel injection, an ECM, and an O2 sensor to provide the feedback needed for closed-loop mixture control.

Lean burning increases mileage, but produces nitrous oxides.

Rich burning produces carbon monoxide, which eventually converts to CO2 in the atmosphere.

Unit for unit, NOx emissions are 265 times as damaging as CO/CO2.

To successfully convert NOx, catalytic converters need a stoichiometric or slightly rich fuel/air mixture to the engine.

and part of that is that adults absolutely do buy stupid status symbols to flex on each other.

Exactly. And when they do, we don't say "Well, that's just what humanity does".

We say "Despise these covetous pricks".
