I just want to talk
  • In Europe, this is hardly a problem. I’ve recently been on the road more in the US, and it sucks. But I think it’s more so due to cars being ridiculously big and their lamps being way off the ground.

  • A much better national motto
  • Also has a secondary interpretation: out of the many countries in the world, one of them. Putting the US on equal footing with the nations of old — despite not having a king with a divine right to sovereignty.

    I like this interpretation because anno 2024 it also counterweights US exceptionalism.

  • What happens if I open an audio file MP4 in a text (word processing) app?
  • Imagine you have a book that’s written in Korean. If you gave it to me and asked me to read it out loud, I wouldn’t be able to make sense out of it. If you gave it to a Korean person, however, they could read it perfectly fine.

    The book itself hasn’t changed — just the person reading the book. And that person has a different set of skills (or instructions, if you will).

  • Yet another cyclist ordered to pay £500 for cycling through town centre, as council insists those who "have not followed the rules" will be "rightly punished"
  • In June of last year four separate cyclists, ranging in age from 31 to 65, were found guilty of breaching the PSPO, with all four being fined £220 and ordered to pay almost £300 in costs, before a month later Lauren Cullum was ordered to pay £1,150.

    In contrast, in the same week at Grimsby Magistrates' Court, Paul Berry pleaded guilty to driving at 50mph on a 40mph road. He was disqualified from driving for seven days, fined £60, and ordered to pay a victim services surcharge of £16.

    🤦‍♂️

  • 2024 France election live updates: Prime Minister Attal plans to resign as projections show leftists lead
  • Macron is the president and head of state. He’s elected directly by the citizens of France.

    Attal is (was) the prime minister and head of government. He’s elected by the members of parliament. He’s appointed by the president but needs majority support in parliament.

    “To form a government” usually means that someone is tasked by the head of state (president or king) to come up with a group of people (cabinet) that has majority support in the house(s) of parliament. That’s easy for Starmer when Labour has a majority. In other countries like the Netherlands, Germany, or Italy, that usually requires a coalition.

    That will now also be the case in France.

  • What industry secret are you aware of that most people aren't?
  • This is full of terrible advice. Password rotation is an outdated practice.

    Don’t ever reuse passwords with “zones”, just use a password manager to generate long and secure passwords for every account. Then enable MFA wherever possible, and Passkeys where they have been implemented.

    Then have a recovery method for the password manager stored in a secure place.
