I can understand drive-by features can be a net burden, but what is wrong with a drive-by bugfix?

I configure it in the firmware of my keyboard with QMK

In the USA

We wanted to buy train tickets the other day, but it was just a lottery and no way to actually buy tickets in advance, do you know what's up with that? Buying flights was just normal so sadly we just did that.

I remember there were different speeds at different times last time I went, but it seems they reduced it in 2021 permanently.

Both sides are to be blamed, only one side are professional adults who are trained protect our community. A pursue is always dangerous, not only for the suspect but also for the cops and bystanders so it should not be done if not absolutely necessary.

Setting aside the question who is to be blamed, using motorcycles to pursue kids on bikes will cause the deaths of more kids. Is that a price worth paying? No.

A car too, but you might kill the suspect [1]. Chasing kids on e-bikes down with motorcycles is asking for deathly accidents to happen.

I very much doubt that

WW2? We're still finding explosives from WW1 in Belgium

Even if it works now, how can you be sure the next app update doesn't break it in the name of security?

It's not all bad is it? On device translation of websites for example is much better than the alternatives.

The same on OpenBSD

What confuses me the most is the kernel goes actually to great lengths not to break userspace, but if you rely on anything else than the kernel stuff breaks all the time, and distributions never update a released version to a newer kernel but just patch old kernels for years. So why do the kernel developers even bother?

I have no idea where you got that idea from. If anything the EU has been focused way too much on the economy, hoping trade and economic growth will solve all problems.

I agree that if you want to pursue economic growth laissez-faire is possibly the best course of action, but economic growth isn't the only metric worth pursuing.

What for an answer is that?

Why would we care about competivity where it doesn't benefit society? Addictive social media and wealth accumulation actively harm society

Yes the planet got destroyed. But for a beautiful moment in time we created a lot of value for shareholders.

And for your comparison, they did fund the American revolution which on its turn was one of the sparks for the French revolution (or was that exactly the point you were making?)

Yes you can, that is exactly what heat pumps do. As long as the total entropy increases it is not in violation of the laws of thermodynamics.

But I don't really see how that is relevant to the question of using waste energy to heat homes. We don't have ideal Carnot machines so there's always energy wasted, which most of the time is still good enough for residential heating.

If we'd ever get so far that would be the most compelling argument for datacenters in space

What is waste heat depends on your usecase. Using waste heat from industrial processes for district heating is done in some places.

Maybe you can't copyright infringe in space, but it's still infringement when the result gets back to earth.

Much more than 100% since the only energy you need to put in is for pumping the hot water around.

Brussels cycling infrastructure has improved a _lot_ in the last decade and the number of cyclists is growing every year while the number of households with a car is decreasing every year (less than half of the househols have a car now).

As they say, there's no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothing. The weather in the Netherlands is not very different and it doesn't stop them.

Also the public transportation is by far the best of the country, but that doesn't say a lot.

So how does that explain I can take 10 100ml bottles and an empty 1l bottle through security but not 1 full 1l bottle?

>Most of Europe has long reached a population density that makes it effectively impossible to achieve self-sufficiency, so this argument is pointless.

Current population density isn't an issue at all, but energy is.

What has China to do with this?

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence doesn't cut both ways.

I do think we'll need to change our view on airconditioning, every home should have airconditioning just like it has heating.

But I'm very sceptical of those numbers. They are apparently even worse for cold, and you can't attribute that to lack of airconditioning. I still think the huge difference can only be attributed to a difference in reporting.

Sadly most new models have both camera and lidar. I can see the use of a camera for avoiding things like cables and pet poo, but I don't think it's worth is especially since all the robots are controlled via the cloud
