That is a very strange definition of rule of law - not being subservient to your own demise is bad for rule of law but not the exposed misconduct which goes completely unpunished?

Rule of law isn't harmed by even the most vile criminals running away from enforcement or even the most ineffectual enforcement - those undermine its power but not its legitimacy. It is misapplication of the law in the first place that does it.

Fuck that authoritarian "You have to accept the unjust punishment because rules is rules!" mentality. Rules are meant to serve the people not the other way around. The scales are already weighted against justice and the power.

This is the question no-one seems to ask. The over-saturation could be an issue, as it causes numbness to the warnings and actually makes warnings as a whole less effective.

Hmm well its not soooooo bad - 185mph/300kmh for High Speed 1 (1), with High Speed 2 (2) under construction at the moment (in some parts of the coutnry anyway) and pegged at 250mph/400kph (2).

London-Edinburgh is old and goes at about 125mph/200kmh.
London-Glasgow is slightly-less old (in terms of trains) and does 120mph/225kmh).

Suburban trains are slower of course, but they stop pretty frequently anyway.

tl;dr - its not terrible. Prices are high though so flying is often orders of magnitude cheaper, even in the "door to door" time is about the same or slightly less by train.

Having worked for a while at one of these enormous companies I will take a stab at answering this:

Tech is an afterthought for most of these companies. Most of them are natural monopolies. Insurance for instance is a business that works such that the larger you are the lower the risk and cost. Take the ACA: many nonprofit startups tried to join the ACA marketplace to compete with the Big Boys. Essentially all failed.

These companies have so much money that they can afford to do things like 10 million dollar POCs (which I've seen). Often they have literally 5+ different teams doing the same exact thing and will pick the best out of that list.

In some cases (I won't say which) they essentially launder profits through the "tech" parts of the company. They basically optimize for cheap people they bill out to the "real" company at some enormous fee.

California is big enough that manufacturers do not always package a separate product (without the warning) for other regions. Up here in Canada I'm happy to see the California Proposition 65 warnings on furniture purchased via Amazon and Wayfair.

Agreed, it's easy to become desensitized. That said, I would have otherwise not been aware of the issue at all! So the labels do help (me) with general awareness. And although I can't always avoid it, I'm now on the lookout for furniture made without these types of chemicals. I would have been clueless sans warning.

Big box restaurants here have to post calorie counts on their menus, and while I still can't believe my favourite burger combo is over 2400 calories (lunch), and

The problems with it are:

- It was split up. For example, the tracks and the rolling stock are owned by different companies. All these companies are owned by a holding and all use the DB brand, but they independently try to make a profit.

That makes sense to economists trying to let the market organize as much as possible, but not to railway employees trying to run a railway. For example: before, the Bundesbahn built its infrastructure, balancing cost vs needs. Now, the infrastructure company optimizes for its own profit and cuts corners, no matter how much the companies operating the trains have to spend to compensate.

- The government was planning to sell it on the stock market. In preparation, DB neglected its infrastructure to appear more profitable. Fortunately these plans were dropped, but the damage is done.

Another insane decision that still contributes to this neglect: Maintenance is funded by the DB. Construction is funded by the Ministry of Transportation[1]. So the DB neglects infrastructure until it has to be replaced.

- Probably the worst one: It competes with cars and trucks. The automobile industry is very powerful in Germany. Properly funding the DB would lower their profits so it doesn't happen.

[1] and Digital Infrastructure. Yes, our ministry of transportation is responsible for the information highway. I am not making this up.

This all sounds like a necessary outcome to how and why these things were designed.

Social media exists to give you that little shot of happiness.

What makes you feel happier than seeing that the whole world agrees with you (in the case of facebook full of bullshit and reddit's oh-so-happy circlejerk over nonsense)?

This is exactly what these platforms were designed to do. All of them. Hell, look at HN for example. Look at the echo chamber that the Assange article is turning into, with dissenting opinions being downvoted for some reason.

Phone companies tried to replace the open versions first. Google was faced with either: a different version of Android on each phone (with the apps replaced,) or making their own versions.

Note too that they could have gone the Microsoft IE route and declared various apps as part of the OS. Instead they made their apps separate from Android, and let them succeed by bundling them together. Amazon Fire is at least one example where the Play Store et al. are not installed.

Almost certainly not. Open windows are terrible for aerodynamics. Even in normal cars they can cause a noticable reduction in fuel efficiency. I'd imagine the effect would be much worse at these speeds.

Australia is huge, but everyone lives in 7 cities (within a margin of error). A high speed rail that covered Melbourne/Albury/Canberra/Sydney/Newcastle/Tamworth?/Brisbane would have a huge impact.

The distances are (as the crow flies):
Melbourne-Albury: 260km
Albury-Canberra: 219km
Canberra-Sydney: 247km
Sydney-Newcastle: 117km
Newcastle-Tamworth: 219km
Tamworth-Brisbane: 450km

That last leg might need another break in it.

But at 300kph average speed that's 2.5 hours Melbourne - Sydney (CBD-CBD), say 3.5 hours with stopovers.

To get to Sydney for a 9:00 start in the CBD from Melbourne now takes (CBD - CBD):
Taxi: 30m + 1hr check in + 1.5 hour flight + 30m taxi: 3.5 hours.

No, their action actually lead to this in the first place — previously, each manufacturer slightly modified the AOSP apps, now each manufacturer actually builds their entirely custom apps for this purpose, as most can’t or don’t want to license Google’s apps for that purpose (they license the base Google Play apps, but e.g. not messages or the phone app or the launcher).

Hackers Breach Company That Makes License Plate Readers for U.S. Government
I agree that blanket warning messages tend to help very little.

However, I do find that actual data does influence my behavior. I’ve been particularly surprised at how much calorie information published on restaurant menus impacts my decisions.

So, rather than a general warning that will be so widely published that it’ll be ignored, give me more data. If you can make the data visual, even better.

For example, you’ll note on food labels that the sugar is represented in grams, but there’s no associated percentage like there is for the other items on the label. When you show me that this bottle of Coke contains double what I should consume for an entire day I think that will help me and will also incentivize manufactures to think more about the sugar content they add.
I cut out all refined carbs for a while and it was surprising to me how much my appetite changed. Normally I have a hard time leaving sugary things alone if they're nearby. But after a few weeks of not eating them, I just didn't care. I look forward to trying the experiment again soon.

Any sense of context here? For example, seven million might be a raw record high, but of how many total posts would be far more telling.

Same for fake accounts. Is that rate up? Down? Was there a time when FB wasn't as vigilant (perhaps to inflate its user base figures)? Is there a smoking gun for the SEC here?
