Speeding fines can only be levied by the municipality in which the violation took place. That's exactly one entity.

What you didn't mention is that (since removed) 15 M€ speeding trap was located on a downhill stretch with a high risk of traffic jams and not only placed for revenue.

German speeding fines are minuscule in international comparison. Just try "casually speeding" 20 km/h in any neighboring country.

Speeding is a German national sport leading to a vicious circle of decreasing limits even further.

For PL/SQL I find Oracle's own SQL Developer quite good.

Ada, there are quite a few nice IDEs, most Eclipse based, but of course commercial. The free one from AdaCore, GPS, is kind of OKish.

For Fortran, most commercial compilers have Visual Studio plugins on Windows, and Eclipse ones on UNIX systems.
The 757 flight controls can be physically disconnected from the electronic controls by the pilot. The flight controls are mechanically connected by steel cables to the hydraulic actuators on the control surfaces.

Unless that has changed since the airplane was designed in the early 80's, the pilot should be able to regain control despite the electronics going berserk. Hydraulic power is required to fly, but not electronics.

Source: I worked on 757 flight controls back around 1980.
> As a matter of law, it seems our highest authorities accept that Parliament currently has no mechanism to legislate for a binding referendum.

I don't understand what you are basing this statement on. In the AV referendum, the act basically said "if the vote comes out yes, the minister must do X; otherwise, the minister must refrain from doing X but must do Y". This is really not complicated, and as we are agreed, Parliament's acts can bind the government in such ways.

> My personal view is that the best way to avoid such problems would be to have a proper written constitution that provided explicitly for binding referendums

I agree, which is why I find it bizarre that in this particular case you are arguing against the importance of writing down whether a referendum is intended to be binding or not, and what consequences on the government's actions it will have.

It is a well known fact that ISIS was instructed by SAS and American special forces. They have also been reported that ISIS commanders where airlifted by American helicopters. So much about fighting terrorism. United States along with Britain and other European nations have been become the epiphany of hypocrisy( remember the bombing of Libya where British and French were giving a hand to the Americans?). These facts should make every American feel deep shame for their country, but shame was not a human trait when I was living in the States a long time ago.

I think the most useful threat model for 2FA is the case of a leaked password.

Malware on a trusted device or a local attacker are very hard to circumvent, though for that we have u2f which is reasonably safe against both.

I put 2FA in my password manager for that reason. If I have malware on my PC, I'm pwned, there are plenty of services without proper 2FA (looking at you paypal, amazon and my email provider) that I can consider myself pwned. However, preventing malware has become easier over this year alone, browsers do a lot and simple A/Vs like MS' built in one or ClamAV for linux can catch most of the dangerous ones.

So I'm not worried about malware.

I consider local attackers a more exotic attack vector and they are rare from my experience so I'm willing to take this risk in favor of making my life easier.
imho, civil servants get a bad rap. We can all point out specific examples of government interaction sucking, but there aren't exactly a lot of comcast cheerleaders around.

You're downvoting me, and that's natural. I assume the bulk of vocal HNers are ancap libertarians (possibly some of you aligning with the Dark Enlightenment). However, you should take what I said more seriously. It represents a point of view with which you've perhaps had little contact, but is held by a significant (possibly even growing) portion of the population. It is diametrically opposed to many of the precepts you've been taught.

For instance, that process legitimizes outcomes rather than the other way around. That one is a bit weird, because the SV _thing_ is to conduct A/B testing and achieve outcomes at all costs. However, you also in your heart of hearts believe that there are institutions, such as schools, governments, and corporations that, solely on their own merits, elevate some people legitimately above others. You might also believe that hierarchy, coercion, and domination are legitimate elements of society when expressed in particular forms such as corporate officers, investors, managers, take-it-or-leave-it contracts, privatization, and denial of aid.

C compilers only became generally available outside expensive UNIX workstations around the mid-80's, until then there were dialects like Small-C for CP/M systems, where C was just yet another language.

Systems programming languages exist since at least 1961, with ESPOL being one of the first ones. IBM for example did their RISC research with PL/8.

As for pure speed, that is the result of 40 years research in taking advantage of UB.

"Oh, it was quite a while ago. I kind of stopped when C came out. That was a big blow. We were making so much good progress on optimizations and transformations. We were getting rid of just one nice problem after another. When C came out, at one of the SIGPLAN compiler conferences, there was a debate between Steve Johnson from Bell Labs, who was supporting C, and one of our people, Bill Harrison, who was working on a project that I had at that time supporting automatic optimization...The nubbin of the debate was Steve's defense of not having to build optimizers anymore because the programmer would take care of it. That it was really a programmer's issue....

Seibel: Do you think C is a reasonable language if they had restricted its use to operating-system kernels?

Allen: Oh, yeah. That would have been fine. And, in fact, you need to have something like that, something where experts can really fine-tune without big bottlenecks because those are key problems to solve. By 1960, we had a long list of amazing languages: Lisp, APL, Fortran, COBOL, Algol 60. These are higher-level than C. We have seriously regressed, since C developed. C has destroyed our ability to advance the state of the art in automatic optimization, automatic parallelization, automatic mapping of a high-level language to the machine. This is one of the reasons compilers are ... basically not taught much anymore in the colleges and universities."

I would simplify it and say that learning trade skills is a better investment for most people than attending a 4-year college. Trade skills can be learned at a young age, right from home, where there is room and time to explore and enjoy the learning process. Why we wait until after high school to teach kids in-demand skills boggles my mind. All the pressure in the world arrives after high school. It's time to start paying the bills and to grow up. It's no wonder most kids go off to college because they have zero marketable skills upon hs graduation and college is a way to get an extra 4 years to acquire some skills.

The sad part of that is all the kids that get caught up in the college wave. They get pressured to go to a 4 year school, take on a mountain of debt for a degree (if they are fortunate to graduate) they most likely won't use. So many students would be better off exploring the different trades and finding one that they really enjoy. There are hundreds of them.

I've been working on a project lately to help people explore and learn the trades online. Tradeskills.io It started as a side project for me a number of years ago teaching people how to get into the appliance repair trade. I've had over 600 students all across the country and Canada go through my training. The trades can be learned online and I think tech will need to play a big part in this area of education in the coming years.

In contrast, look at what these countries do rather than what their leaders say.

American markets are actually open. Americans can invest their money anywhere. Foreigners can buy property and own companies with few restrictions.

China discourages imports by punitively taxing them. Chinese face strict capital controls. Foreigners and their businesses are heavily restricted in what they can buy and what activities they can engage in.

I don't agree that it is in the miners best interest to have big blocks allowing for more transactions. The argument is that more transactions means more fees, but that is not really the case. With a block limit just a little under what there is demand for, transaction fees will grow significantly for those that need to compete to be included in the next block. If the block limit is above demand, then there is space for any transaction and so every transaction just has to pay some symbolic minimum fee. The sum of this will be lower than the sum of fewer transactions but with higher paying fees.

The "REST API for your database" thing isn't actually the part of this I'm most excited about - there are quite a few entries in that category already, such as https://github.com/jeffknupp/sandman2

The thing that excites me is being able to take almost any dataset, package it up into a simple, well-understood format and then deploy that in a read-only, highly scalable way, taking advantage of modern containerization systems.

Read-only SQLite is /perfect/ for this use-case. It's fast, widely supported, has a great feature-set and can be distributed as a single file.

My favourite feature of Datasette isn't the web UI, it's the publish command:

datasette publish now ~/path-to-my/sqlite.db

Combined with my https://github.com/simonw/csvs-to-sqlite tool it means you can take a CSV file and turn it into a live-on-the-internet REST SQL API in literally minutes. Here are a bunch of datasets that I've done that to just today: https://github.com/simonw/datasette/wiki/Datasettes
Germany is the country that lost the battle but won the war. I am not saying Germany is not full of hard working and smart people but consider this.

Germany wreaked havoc on its neighbors effectively killing huge % of their populations,destroying trillions of $ worth of infrastructure and industries and much more. Yet they only paid dimes to these countries because someone smart people decided they must be the balancing force against the Soviets.

Also consider this. Germany is effectively dominating the markets of its neighbors solely because of weak euro, its industrial scale, "open" (anti-protectionist) laws and ...corruption. There are many many other factors of course.

The argument is also that one big miner did not wish for Segregated witness because he apparently had an "invisible" advantage allowing him to mine block more easy than the rest of the network. Therefore he is pushing for a solution that has bigger blocks, but not Segwit.
Where do you get the idea that we admit a significant number of penniless legal immigrants?
I wouldn't call a "European style undergrad" a trade school. The only difference is that for example a math 'major' in Europe spends 90-95% of their time taking math courses, while in the US they might spend maybe 60-70% of their time on math courses. Thus you can get through the same 'relevant' course load in 3 years instead of 4.

"Users love anti-patterns which is why they frequent businesses that engage in them, rather than choose another business that doesn't. "

Dude have you ever considered the plethora of other reasons users may choose a platform/service with 'dark pattern' over others, such as that platform/service being more feature rich or having a greater utility to that user? You are deluding yourself thinking your anti-patterns make a difference in the end. Sure signups may go up, but user engagement will surely drop off if the experience is crap or hostile after onboarding. Your sign up flow is just one small portion of a user's journey in your platform/app.
That’s supposedly expected behaviour. When I’m standing at my rig in the lab it pings me to stand, just like when I sit at my desk. This actually means get up and/or walk about — which usually works to fill that segment of the ring.
But I also get false stands when sitting too.

I’ve a series 0 however with the lesser sensor heart rate sensor so I don’t get any of these new cardio features.
It seems a fallacy to say that "machine learning" will replace the sensors needed to produce the data required to make a diagnosis. Sure the sensors can always be in a smaller, simpler form factor, but that's engineering the sensors specifically. You need data to make a diagnosis, and the magic of machine learning can't replace raw data coming from sensors.

I see this kind of confusion a lot, where "machine learning" is mistakenly used to mean obsoleting sensor data instead of obsoleting the hardcoded processing of said data.

I think there is always a chance that a sociopath will plot to ruin your life for no perceivable self gain. A tiny, tiny chance. I’m skeptical of the actual efficacy of such strategies, like the “Pence” rule, but the main point is that designing your whole life so as to minimize the attack surface for sociopaths is completely insane. It would be like never leaving your house so as to reduce the chance of dying in a terrorist attack. And better not meet with any men either, as men can also accuse you of groping them, amazingly enough.

In many ways it seems like the Republican campaign against “voter fraud” or similar: a solution so obviously in search of a problem, that one seems sure there must be some ulterior motive.

Cue 15 years of chaos and strife, and the ISIS has fertile ground to sow their seeds of hatred in. A significant fraction of these disgruntled 400 000 army men apparently decided to lend their services to ISIS.

Edit:

to voiceless down voters - of course your standpoint is that doing the above was of no consequence, or maybe even helped delay the creation of ISIS? So absurd...
