Once again, mods don't replace the link to an obvious blog spam article just because it's from TechCrunch.

I'd like to read this article but the GDPR consent collector is broken in so many ways.

What does it mean to select an advertiser? Why doesn't select all work? If techcrunch can display the page to me at first why do I have to give consent still?

"The system looks at sets of pictures of the hive door taken every 10 seconds. It then extrapolates out the background, assesses the objects that have moved in the frame, and then counts the things that are likely to be bees."

"The Techcrunch article spamtastically plagiarises a BoingBoing article from the day before (including misspelling the author's name) and complete and utterly misunderstands the core technique"

amazing work on just pi!
