A reasonable assumption would be that EU data is processed in the Netherlands, Russian data is processed in the Russian Federation, and that Rest-of-World data is processed in the US. This complies with all of the listed regulations, but it would be nice to have this explicitly broken down.
The rate of driving fatalities is ~1 per 60 million miles driven. At an average speed of 60 mph that would be ~1 per million hours. Even if we were to assume there would be only one fatality-inducing error per hour, 99.99% success rate would make FSD 9 100x more dangerous than the average driver. I do not remember the exact numbers, but that would make FSD something like 1000x more dangerous than the classic example of a deathtrap, the Ford Pinto.

The packs were pre-juiced, the Juicero Press just squeezed the juice out of the packs.

The advantage of the packs is that they can lock you into their ecosystem and charge you more money for the convenience of using the machine. Razor-and-blades is a common, worthwhile business model... if the razor can be made cheaply enough to give away, and the whole package actually solves a problem.

The idea was to basically be "Keurig, but for juice"; and it would have worked had they not charged SEVEN HUNDRED DOLLARS for the press.
You are confusing marketing materials with reality.

The planned speed is what they used to sell it to voters. Actual speed is ridiculous due to the issues the train would run into (if it is every finished) in every town or region it crosses. There are parts where it probably won't be allowed to go much faster than 50 mph. So, yeah, nice selling point, but, no, fake news.

Same with the San Jose to Burbank story. Forgive me if I don't hold my breath. I think they don't even have ten miles built and it has been years. And those ten miles are not even functional.

If it is ever finished, this is going to be a trillion dollar project (or more). It did not make any sense even below that price point. The entire thing is preposterous. Nobody is going to ride it (translate: not enough people to justify building it) and the cost per passenger will be so high it will be the boondoggle of the century.

This is what happens when politicians sell stuff to a public that can barely calculate the tip at a restaurant.
I'm not sure what you mean by "developer friendly" (monospace font?) but it doesn't look like a financial services site I'd trust. The rainbow borders which change on hover and that stuff screams "my first time playing with CSS", not "you should trust us with your $$".

Also, the name and domain seem like you're compensating for something, or trying to trick people. If a bank has big signs saying, "No, we won't steal your money, promise" that opens up a whole lot of questions. Why do you need to put "safe" all over the place? Is there some reason I should think it isn't safe?
The issue is the margins are too thin. 2 hemi-googles would have the exact same issue. You can't spend 100USD vetting and giving feedback on a 10usds worth of ad. That's true whether you're doing it for 1 customer or 100m. Unless competition means half these sites close and ad prices go way way up...

This is the core issue under a lot of big tech complaints. The same basic logic applies to fake news on social media, counterfeit products on amazon, even scam calls on land line networks.

I would like to see a lot less of this "moderation". But that means people have to accept there might be more ads for scams or gambling or alcohol. Instead they want more moderation. And that means more expense AND more mistakes and unresponsive mega corps.

Plenty of people are proving that wrong, with certain crops.

I visited with some friends a couple of years ago who had leased a paddock to a pair of humans who used it to build a hydroponic green house.

They produced leafy greens for the local restaurant market and in the first part year had more cash flow than the whole farm around them.

They were working very hard but were poised to make a lot of money.

They were using the sun for energy input - I fail to see how indoor agriculture under lights can be profitable except for the most valuable of crops

Would you accept it? Would you be ok if a car without a driver ran over your kid, even if they were playing in the local street?

I'd say, absolutely not. The only way we'd accept that is if the kid darted out before the vehicle could slow down, and even then we'd expect super human braking to (hopefully) avoid serious injury.

Also, self driving cars have and advantage that they can put cameras in places typical drivers eyes aren't. They should be able to see a lot more than you can from the driver's seat.

That sort of goes in the face of your "licensing or selling it to others" above though, right?

Let's say you have a patent. You're trying to get someone to license it. They decide, no, we'd rather just use it for free instead. Now you have no buyers, and no licensors -- what is your option but a lawsuit?

Counter-Intuitively, the need to go digital was what led to behemoths like Elsevier and the downfall of small publishers. Similar to what happened with newspapers, though for very different reasons & economic dynamics:

In the very early 00's a small publisher might have a few dozen journals and a dozen books a year, and reasonable but not huge profit margins. At the same time a couple of things were happening:

1) Elsevier was already snatching up small publishers and offering their own digital access.

2) For a small publisher going digital was much more difficult. It wasn't in their existing tech skill set and there weren't much in the way of turn-key solutions to fill their specific needs

3) Royalty agreements weren't built for all-access subscriptions. They were based on purchases of a full issue. They couldn't be shoe-horned into all-access subscriptions so the publisher would have to go back and renegotiate contracts for digital distribution in a process that was extremely time consuming... getting agreements for 30 years of your back catalog wasn't easy.

4) For a small publisher, digitizing content was very expensive. A simple destructive scan where the content was unbound and image scanned to a PDF wasn $0.50 to $1 per page, but you need things to be searchable too. OCR wasn't good enough and OCR w/human correction was very expensive. Common practice was to go for the cheaper image-only OCR and tack on ToC, Titles, abstracts and authors as indexed metadata, which also cost more money.

Elsevier was big enough that most of the above were somewhat non-issues for them. They could throw their bulk around and dictate terms on royalties deploying an army of people to work them all out journal by journal. They had plenty of money to build a digital platform and digitize their back catalog year by year at a fairly rapid pace.

Library budgets were being cut back, so it looked like a real nice option to subscribe to Elsevier and get instant access to tons of stuff. It became a lot harder for smaller publishers to get their material into libraries. This created a downward spiral, Elsevier picked off small publishers one by one, making their product even more appealing.

In the end, we're left with what we have now: A few massive publishers that looked like reasonable options 15 and 20 years ago at those prices, but then the prices rapidly escalated, and after 7 or 10 years of digital subscriptions you almost couldn't go back because you'd have to buy that many years of back catalog.
Same as in the Dreamcast yes, albeit the Casio seems to be clocked far lower (29mhz in Casio vs 200mhz for DC). Also the memory seems a bit anemic at 60ish-kb vs 16mb main for the DC (+8mb videomem and 2mb audiomem).

It was a fine CPU for the era with parallel instructions but also a fairly deep pipe compared to other contemporaries so it did best with a bit of hand tuning. (We worked on a DC game and Transform&Lighting loops needed hand optimizations iirc)

You're starting to see this in bits and pieces already. New rental space is primarily going to chain restaurants and box stores because the rent is too damn high for anyone not corporate to get started. _The Atlantic_ was talking about the issue of lots going vacant for months at a time because the owners are holding out for insane lease prices...in part because they need to pay insane taxes on the property.

from going to their website, it seems like they try to use clever web design and limited-time deals to sell weirdo and off-kilter failed products. I clicked on a link to a 'chair simulator' which ended up as a steam game a-la-goat simulator.

It seems like they are a factory to sprinkle some clever web design and marketing to create demand for failed products, making something out of nothing. With time as an incentive. Reminds me of the early days of Groupon.

Clever.
I don't believe your app is a scam, I think it's just a combination of unfortunate design and language decisions. Your product seems absolutely fine to me, and I have no doubts about the technical measures you've taken.

The first thing that comes to mind for building a better reputation is probably your branding. Picking "safe" as a software brand gives off a paradoxical feeling of unsafety, in the "[safe] free Windows 12 download [open source][free!!].dll.bat.exe" kind of way. Adding a tag like [safe] or [free] or (recommended) is something spammers and scammers do to try to convince their victims to click. I don't think you can pull something like that off without being a well-known brand first, not with that brand name. Matrix.org, for example, has the [Matrix] brackets as a brand, but the word "matrix" isn't used for anything dubious. Their links also don't use the [brand] marking in their ads.

Because of all this, I think your brand (unintentionally) mimics a lot of scam ads, which is why my first thought would be "this is a scam, report". Your website, "safeapps.io", has a feeling I associate with "securefiles.com" or "freewindowsupdatez.net" for much of the same reasons.

Your TLD, .io, is very popular for modern (web) developers but when I think about my bank details, the British Indian Ocean Territory isn't exactly what comes to mind. Perhaps a minor detail few people will fall over, but it's kind of ironic to have the TLD of a remote island nation for a financial software package :)

Perhaps I'm not your target audience, but I want any service I trust with information about my finances to be professional. Your website seems inspired by popular, modern, energetic branding, the kind I'd expect from a soda brand or a kids' commercial. I'd personally much prefer a boring, run-of-the-mill Bootstrap theme with some added branding over the artsy website you've created. That's just a personal preference, of course; maybe you want to show that you're not one of those stuffy bankers, and maybe I'm just too boring to get that. Modern marketing has shown that this strategy definitely attracts some people.

In the end, I'm just a random voice on the Internet. I'm no marketeer, I've never met any investors, and I don't run paid service of my own. You probably shouldn't base your entire marketing campaign on my ramblings.

I do think you should think about your branding, though, especially the way you present it in ads, and consider picking a brand name that's not as easy to confuse with a link that'll install malware. Besides, you can probably use a more recognisable brand name than "safe money". "[SOTANY]" or many other words from thisworddoesnotexist.com probably work a lot better for a software brand than "[safe]"!

Interesting. I've never been a patron of a public library in the United States that charged patrons fees for ILL, and neither of the universities I've attended charged for it, either.

My own academic library where I work used to have a per-semester limit and charged for requests over it but we eliminated it for a number of reasons, one of which was that it was skewing our acquisition decisions. When we did charge, the cost was less than what you'd pay at a publisher's website.

It is true that some vendor content doesn't allow ILL, but it's in the minority. In 2009 the Information Delivery Services Project found around 15% of publishers do not permit ILL at all while 46% permit it with no restrictions. The rest are in-between, applying restrictions like no lending outside of the US or to commercial entities.

Interesting, cool to hear that it wasn't all bluster. So now I must know... how's that blender?
I think you have that backwards. It takes a strong stomach to claim Google isn't facing competition on Google Sheets and threatening their market share would cause them to start caring. The more likely scenario is they have given up on winning any market share as serious users refuse to switch from Excel and non serious users have pads of paper and pencil, leaving Google just a tiny slice of the pie between those two groups to even fight for.

I would guess it has to do with what I have heard is the promotion path at Google. It seems you need to ship, and ship new things, if you want to be a serious contender. That leaves few engineers willing to take a look at Google Sheets issues and put together a PR to fix these things.
So, you can at least make a theoretical argument for why self-driving cars can do a better job than humans: they are always alert and paying attention, and the set of things they're trying to accomplish are concrete, can reasonably be presumed a priori and baked into themodel, and are reasonably well specified so that we hopefully don't need hard AI to be successful.

By contrast, Copilot doesn't necessarily have any idea what you're trying to do. So it can, to an approximation, pattern match on what you've already written, and spit out valid code that is "inspired" by things it's seen in the past. But it doesn't actually know what you're trying to do. It doesn't know what your acceptance criteria are, or what invariants you're trying to maintain, or anything like that. And, at least in the places I've worked, most the interesting bugs (by which I mean, the ones that managed to cause trouble in production) happen when the programmer writing the code didn't have a firm idea of what they were trying to do. So, that's what worries me - I would fear that the spots where Copilot can't even theoretically be expected to do a good job happens to be exactly the kind of things for which people would tend to rely on it the most.

Maybe I'm being overly pessimistic? But that's kind of my job - I work in an area where "move fast and break things" is pretty antithetical. But it would still be a lot more compelling to me if I could see a paper demonstrating that a team using Copilot has fewer production defects than a team that's doing exactly the same work but without Copilot. Or alternatively, if it were repackaged as something that's a bit like a smarter version of IDE refactorings. "Hey, it looks like you're about to spit out a big old mess of boilerplate. Let us get that for you." Or, "Hey, some functions you called can fail, how about I go ahead and suggest a catch block so you don't forget to write one?" Basically, give me something that's a bit more smart cruise control and a bit less Autopilot.

Or they wanted it to be protected and stored away for the times. Or the act of getting to those paintings was some kind of special act that was carried out under certain circumstances (and therefore it being hard to reach was part of the plan).
I think the problem here is democracies attempting to exercise restraint in response to popular concerns about overreach. I'm pretty sure the more effective response from a public health standpoint, and probably the starting point of the negotiation, would be to close cluster-friendly places like indoor gyms hard and early. Some special interest - gym owners, restaurants, whatever - gets in and says, but but we pRoMiSe to behave. What happens next in too many democracies is unfortunately this: some wishy-washy middle ground is negotiated that is politically acceptable but ineffective in reality, the epidemic gets out of control and then you get REAL overreach for a really long time, like long-term travel restrictions, curfews, etc.
Well, I do agree that this restriction sounds ridiculous (and frankly it also sounds ineffective), but the thing is, the reason for this half-ass measure is that so many small businesses (like gyms) are already terribly hit by COVID, and there's a limit on how much the government can push before people decide "Ah fuck it, I'm opening my shops anyway! And have a drink with my buddies while I'm at it."

So you might as well ask "Does the people (i.e. gym owners or partygoers) have too much power?" A compromise means there are two sides.

In the US at least, this was mostly state governments trying to define "essential commerce", rather than preventing the sale of things that might lead to large gatherings. The idea was anything you don't need to stay alive, you don't need to be buying.

The armed standoff in Michigan was a direct result of this, Governor Whitmer banned the sale of home improvement goods (such as paint) and garden supplies (including seeds), in the spring, while ordering most of the population to stay at home. This was perceived by the population as unreasonable, and those restrictions were rolled back within a week of the protests.
