From the BBC: "Mr Burke said the family were being helped on a pro-bono basis by an immigration lawyer who previously worked for ICE, as well as another legal advisor"
"She was visited by an ICE case officer at the centre on Tuesday, who told her that her "profile had gone up" and she will have to be "put on the priority list", said her father"
"There are "positive signs" that a Welsh backpacker detained in a US immigration centre could be flying home in the coming days, her father has said."
Sure, but this option is not mutually exclusive.
Bike lanes reduce congestion by giving people other options than travelling by car. Their removal is certain to increase congestion, especially in more densely populated areas where you normally put bike lanes down.
Sounds like enough material for a 3 hour youtube documentary
Car companies are short-sighted in general. During COVID they had cancelled their semiconductor orders. And when during the end of 2020 the factories were telling them to place their orders. They didn't. Soon after all capacity was sold out for years and the industry had an enormous self-inflicted shortage of electronics.

The added benefit is no reliance on foreign tech companies who will kow-tow to autocratic governments. Also since we can afford to develop open source software, it will also benefit poorer and developing countries. Which is a goal on it's own, but will also put the the EU in a good light elsewhere.
Didn't even know that. Makes the recent news how his secret trip to Israeli-occupied territories got leaked all the more revealing of his true allegiances.
Just look at Smart Speakers. Basically the early AI at home. People just used them to set timers and ask about the weather. Even though it was capable of much more. Google and others were unable to monetize them for this reason and have mostly given up. (Protip: if you have a google speaker and kids, ask about the animal of the day. It's an addition during COVID times for kids learning at home.)
But people also aren't used to AI yet. Most will still google for something, some already skip that step and have ChatGPT search and summarize. I would not be surprised if the internet of the future is just plain text files for the AI agents to scrape.
