I think the post has some valid points, developing front-end dashboards nowadays is a pretty big undertaking and if your userbase doesn't require it, why would you?

JrProgrammer··on City of Amsterdam’s Algorithm Register
If you look at the other projects, there's also a subsection on Non-discrimination. This specific example of the license plate registration doesn't have anything to do with discrimination because it simply checks the output of an OCR (Optical Character Recognition) algorithm with a database which consists of the location and time a certain license plate has paid for.

The parking attendants just drive their vehicles and the OCR does its work. The only reason I see for the city of Amsterdam to include this subsection into the article is to tell the citizens that the part of license registration doesn't come into play until after the algorithm (or in case of a failure a human check) has decided that the license plate wasn't in the database on that point in time.

JrProgrammer··on Productivity Is About Attention Management
> I’m pretty sure there’s an eighth habit of highly effective people. They don’t spend all their time reading about the seven habits of highly effective people.

I think this is often overlooked. What works for other people might not work for you and the time spent looking for the right way is better spend on doing the tasks.
