I agree that he was underinsured, but if he were properly insured, I’d expect the insurance company to sue to the police department. The police department should be self insured by the city, which then causes citizen outrage over increased taxes, which then causes politicians to reign in the out of control police force.... at least that’s how the control system should work.

"If you love rockets, you can’t help but notice that real space launch vehicles lift off the pad slowly, but model rockets zip up like darts."

That reminds me of a common issue with modeling: when you divide sizes by N, you divide surfaces/light-reflexion/air-resistance/lift by NxN and volumes/weights by NxNxN.

A 1/10th model is 1/1000th of the original weight with identical materials. All the dynamics are different and easier at smaller scales. This makes the real thing an expert work while modeling is reachable by hobbyists - very good ones in this case.
Newspaper had an article about a couple having their home in the shadow of a huge windmill. Basically, every time it turns 1/3th, a huge shadow falls over everything. light - dark - light - dark. That would drive anybody nuts.

The law requires the windmills to be build at least 200m from homes, but in this case, the law was simply ignored and a permit was given, to reach some green target.

The windmill owner suggested they sell their house (to who?) and move.

It wasn't for a belt and two shirts, it was for attempted murder of police officers. Yes, the interaction might have started with simple shoplifting, but the suspect began firing at police officers.

The home was destroyed after a 19 hour stand off with a intoxicated subject who continued to take meth throughout the standoff, during which the suspect continued to fire at police, and after which the suspect was apprehended alive. I'm trying to think of a more justifiable use of force outside of a hostage situation, but I'm having trouble thinking of one.

All these responses demonstrate the typical issue with today’s dev mindset... i.e. wanting to develop a solution where there is no problem to solve, and very often resulting in an alternative with more issues than the original tool. There is a reason why MS Access and Excel endure: they are far from perfect and have tons of limitations, but they do solve the very basic function they were designed to fulfill.
An IT solution which is simple, robust and allows users to do their job without relying on tech support and maintenance is just a beautiful thing - that’s what technology should be about. Not, this endless envy to refactor what is working just fine for for the user... I love the examples presented above of areas where Access solves a real problem and helps them save valuable time, in difficult working conditions!

> free range doesn't mean what most people think it does

That’s why I said local. I grew up in the country and lots of people had a few chickens. They run around freely and are not “farmed”. They’re almost pets. They lay eggs all the time, so there’s nothing wrong with eating those eggs.

As for where the hens come from, this is how my parents got hens when they kept chickens a long time ago: go to your neighbour with a rooster and say “hey, neighbour, could I get some chicks next time you have some? Thanks”

> Free-range chicken eggs, however, have no legal definition in the United States

I don’t live in the US though.

> We bred chickens to lay eggs that often

Ok, but now that they do, what are we to do? Slaughter all the non-farmed free range chickens to find some wild ones? The damage is done, what’s wrong with giving them good lives and enjoying their abandoned eggs?

I am not sure that would be valid. You could also use a defined constant as the limit in the Fortran program. In other words, you could argue that SIZE_MAX is part of the program, the same as the Fortran array size is defined in the program. But I am not sure it would be invalid either... just wondering.
> Meanwhile, Deutsche Bahn AG hopes to attract 200 million long-distance rail passengers by 2030, an increase of 35%.

Good luck with that. DB neither has the rolling material [0], nor reliable companies to build that rolling material [1], nor the infrastructure [2], nor the personnel [3] to provide reliable service for the passenger numbers of today. It remains a complete mystery how they will solve problems that have been decades in the making since the privatization and increase their passenger numbers by 35% in just 10 years. To anyone who regularly travels with DB (and to much of their own, frustrated [4] personnel) these plans sound preposterous. It's exactly the same kind of growth- and revenue-oriented MBA daydreaming that brought the company down to the alarming state it is in today.

See my comments elsewhere in this thread. I’d argue that ‘having unique passwords for every site’ is much more important than 2FA when it comes to the consequences of a site’s database being compromised.

For instance, I’ll happily give you my password to ‘My Vodafone’. It’s nXewr7Vq4f)s9>ky. It really is. I don’t give a shit if their database is compromised, it doesn’t affect the rest of my life.

(I haven’t been a customer in about a decade. The login no longer works. You get the point.)

2FA adds nothing to this scenario. I should assume that an attacker who has compromised the site’s database has also compromised their OTP systems.

I don't think it's that, at all. Right now, there's a _lot_ of anti-China rhetoric from the government and in the press, and insofar as China is attempting influence operations here they're targetting both sides - the opposition has been caught up in it too.

No, I think it's your regular Western right-wing conservatism, perhaps with the Overton window shifted a bit thanks to people like Trump making it easier for Australian hard conservatives.
This. The march to authoritarianism accelerates when people accept the meme that the truth is unknowable. So they simply accept the reality put forth by the autocrat.

Maybe I should have put scare quotes around “free range”, I didn’t mean free range certified or whatever, I literally meant “running around freely” like what you described on your honeymoon.

> how many people would that feed?

Where I grew up, lots of people had a few hens running around and they typically gave their excess eggs away as there were too many. It wouldn’t take that much to sustain a small community on eggs.

But yes, you’re right, it wouldn’t replace the egg industry, my point is simply that if you do have access to such eggs, then I see no issues with eating them, even if you’re otherwise vegan.

> must also agree that we would need plant-based alternatives for almost all our current uses.

I don’t disagree at all and certainly never said we can replace all farmed eggs with cruelty-free free-roaming-chicken eggs, just that if you do have access to those eggs, then as far as I’m concerned, enjoy some eggs.

This is really troubling. I hope we can see some actual discussion on the subject. An excerpt:

> The book mentions both the data-collection opportunities for police forces (Sidewalk notes it would ask for local policing powers similar to those granted to universities) and the possibility of “an alternative approach to jail,” using data from “root-cause assessment tools” that would guide officials in finding an appropriate response when someone is arrested. The overall criminal justice system and policing of serious crimes and emergencies would be “likely to remain within the purview of the host government’s police department,” however.

> Data collection plays a central role throughout the book. Early on, the company notes that a Sidewalk neighbourhood would collect real-time position data “for all entities” – including people. The company would also collect a “historical record of where things have been and vector information about where they are going.” Furthermore, unique data identifiers would be generated for “every person, business or object registered in the district,” helping devices communicate with each other.

> There would be a quid pro quo to sharing more data with Sidewalk, however. The document describes a tiered level of services, where people willing to share data can access certain perks and privileges others may not. Sidewalk visitors and residents would be “encouraged to add data about themselves and connect their accounts, either to take advantage of premium services like unlimited wireless connectivity or to make interactions in the district easier,” it says.

> Shoshana Zuboff, the Harvard professor emerita whose book The Age of Surveillance Capitalism investigates the way Alphabet and other big-tech companies are reshaping the world, called the document’s revelations “damning.” The community Alphabet sought to build when it launched Sidewalk Labs, she said, was like a “for-profit China” that would “use digital infrastructure to modify and direct social and political behaviour.”

> While Sidewalk has since moved away from many of the details in its yellow book, Prof. Zuboff contends that Alphabet tends to “say what needs be said to achieve commercial objectives, while specifically camouflaging their actual corporate strategy.”

> According to the document, personalization would increase as users contributed more data, leading to “more complete or personalized services from Project Sidewalk in return.” An example states that people choosing to share “in-home fire safety sensor” data could receive advice on health and safety related to air quality, or provide additional information to first responders in case of an emergency.

From my understanding `dark matter` is an explanation for what we expected and what we see regarding the mass of the universe?

It's a bit like exploding an apple and measuring all the bits that fly of and missing some bits. Whilst we do not know what the apple looked like initially, we are from our measurements, trying to reconstruct that apple.

How convinced are we that their is dark matter and not a case of how we have measured things so far. Hence, differences in results based upon how we measure are evident, whilst many are close to the same, they just don't exactly match up - hence - dark matter theory.

How likely is it that dark matter as we know it - does exist?

The problem is that she is elected by the 2 millions and not by the 12. Paris needs to annex its surrounding, Grand Paris is just too slow. A mayor of the 7-8 million of Petite Couronne would probably benefit Paris immensely.

That means public transport is working, Paris is one of the few big mature cities that invests heavily in new lines. (Not all of them make sense, but I guess that's politics)

Cars create traffic. Paris has been basically one traffic jam since 50 years, congestion pricing is what's needed, which she sadly is not pushing for, but which would create an even crazier absurd outcry than the closing of the berges (if that's possible).

The Paris Police Prefecture is under the Ministry of Interior, there slowly rolling out a much needed municipal police force.

Automatic enforcement of vehicle vignettes is not allowed yet, but will, from my understanding, be changed with the new mobility law.

Have you been to a country without working infrastructure and state with little power?

One of the problems is investing so much in public housing that could be used in better ways. So the debt of Paris has been rising quite sharply. At least the region (Ile de France) is actually building lots of housing compared to other big cities.

Slightly off topic, but is there a good, short summary of why Catalonia wants to separate from Spain? I would think this would enhance the standing of the EU as it weakens the power of one of its larger members. Heck, wouldn’t it be in the interest of nefarious EU types to have countries like Spain, Italy, Germany, and France and their regions/states/departments become member States or autonomous regions within the EU?

Or is Catalonia trying to break from both Spain and the EU?

I see nothing wrong with that app, since it’s purposefully convoluted. Apple’s application frameworks are written in and meant to be accessed through Objective-C so trying to write an app in C is going to require a lot of hacks and additional complexity. A simple application can be written in under a dozen lines of Swift or Objective-C code. (For an idea of how insane what you linked is, consider trying to use a C++ library from C: you’d need to hand-mangle the function names, and if you want to pass in parameters that were C++ objects you’d need to lay out their vtables and fields correctly, and…you get my point. It’s not anywhere near representative of what the normal development experience would be like.)
