That's a foreign law applying to a foreign country

Bush and the Congress in general certainly did commit the single most successful act of terrorism in recent history. I'm not sure how showing ID would have prevented that though. The US public brought it on themselves, and today's world is a world away from the hacking culture of the 1980s

That's so sad in the "land of the free"

Do you have to show photo ID when filling up with gas within 100 miles of the border?

Still the case in the UK, no law saying you have to provide any ID on a domestic flight (although you'll need a boarding pass), certainly I don't whenever I fly domestically (rarely). Some airlines require ID for ticket purposes (to prevent you from selling your ticket to someone else). Flights between the UK and Ireland are a little trickier, you don't need a passport, as long as you can prove you are either British or Irish. If you don't have a photo ID you can fly from the UK to Belfast and then drive/train/bus to the Republic.

The requirement for a passport and appropriate visa on international flights departing from the UK is I think solely an airline requirement, as if you land in a country you don't have a right to immigrate to the airline gets fined. If you're flying privately it's a different matter.

Obviously you need a passport or other authority to travel when you get to the border of another country (Ireland being the obvious exception for the UK).

Not any more, other than no sales tax on the panels.

And thus competition pushes those prices down.

Either way I'd personally pay more to use an app, so win-win for me.

Supermarkets pay more than that and while aren't exactly cushy, they aren't as bad as the reported warehouse conditions of an amazon factory.

Either that or due to political restrictions preventing more housing being built, land is overvalued.

Any increase in wages is taken by landlords who increase the rent. The competition for a house isn't the next door house, it's not living in the city at all.

Depends on the consumer, I'd far rather order in my own time on my phone. You want to pay more to employ someone to serve you then fine.

This does work today at grid scale, people use their home batteries (either on wheels or not) to charge/discharge to the grid in the UK all the time.

If someone builds that storage facility to do it commercially then great.

rooftop solar can't exist without special subsidies

Yet it does

And you can still access it while it's open from the /proc directory

In Europe you have EU261, which if the flight is significantly delayed (hours rather than minutes) means you get several hundered euros in compensation. The exact delay and amount depends on the length of the flight.

You can use name constraints on the CA, but they are a bit hit and miss when it comes to client support.

For a local CA with the CA only on one machine you're perhaps OK if you are careful, but once you share the server with a couple of collegues you are potentially into a world of hurt.

On OSX you can choose "Always Trust" or "Never Trust" for various purposes (code signing, SSL, EAP, etc).

Why can't I have "Ask first time", or "Trust only for specific domains"

Same with built in ones. That "Hong Kong Post" root CA raises some eyebrows with me, I'd love to set that to "Ask first time" on it.

The old lira was retired and the new lira came in 2005 roughly at about 1.30 to the dollar.

It's now 16 to the dollar, up from 8 to the dollar a year ago.

The old Lira was 15 to the dollar in 1975, by 1985 it was 500 to the dollar (devaluing 42% a year), 1995 was 43,000 to the dollar (56% a year), and by 2001 it reached 1.3 million to the dollar (77% a year)

From 2001 to 2005 it was relatively stable, and the new lira came in and only lost half its value from 2005 to 2015. Things have been getting worse since 2015 though.

Pretty much the entire field contribution system of BBC News uses ffmpeg (or ffmbc, an ffmpeg fork from years back with some specific broadcast related additions) from the commandline (launched from a custom program), has done for about 15 years.

Disturbing, she'd have been 12 at that time.

I bought a new skoda last October, it has a real key.

I hate lane assist, fails miserably where I live (country lanes). I believe its a requirement now, which is tedious. Its the first assistance feature I've actively disliked.

Yahoo finance says its 30,279.67 at the moment after a collapse in everything over the last week or so.

In 2017 $100 would buy you about €90, ¥11000, CHF99, £80 (plus/minus about 5% during the year).

Today it will buy you €96, ¥13000, CHF100, £82

Not a great deal of movement

So how many billions did you make?

It's the greater fool theory.

I lauched at friends of my fatherinlaw back in 2018 when they were buying bitcoin at 15k. Obviously it popped.

Today it's down 50% on ATH, but it's still more than double it's 2018 bubble level.

Syria is only 500 miles from Russia

Markdown is probably a happy medium - markdown itself looks pretty much like normal writing in usenet or email, just formatted visually, and the 'build pipeline' is something like "markdown foo.md > foo.html"

<iframe src='footer.html'>

Or you could use a frameset

Even a simple web page requires to install 100MBs of dependencies

I had problems with having to log in to a bunch of audio encoders last weekend to find out why they were engaged.

I looked at the webpage, a few calls with http/digest returning xml.

I strung together a quick perl script to take an ip/user/password, fire it off to the device, decode the output, fire off more queries, and dump out a <tr>, and then wrapped that in a bash script which generated the rest of the page for the N devices I wanted the status of. Took less than 60 minutes. Deployed it as a new apache virtual host with +ExecCGI.

3878 bytes plus OS provided packages for things like kernel etc, and now I can save time again and again by looking at the status page.

You can choose to make a simple webpage to perform a simple task and have it take 100s of MB, or you can choose not to.

total tax burden being at 100% means you cant raise taxes.

You still haven't explained what this means. The Japanese tax to GDP ratio is 31%, below the OECD average

https://www.oecd.org/tax/tax-policy/revenue-statistics-japan...

Japan spends 38% of its GDP, about the same as the US does.

To balance the budget the government would thus have to take 38% of GDP. That would put it in the same range as Germany, Norway, Netherlands, and way below Italy, Sweden, Denmark, France,

I think the question is that how is it useful if you happen to have two hashes that match - it's very unlikely that they will be

Where the problem comes is when you can generate a matching 128 bit hash with your own content without having to do 2^128 different hashes (or strike ridiculously (lottery winner being struck by lightning) lucky and only need to do 2^100 hashes)

* To be clear this is just basic support like a stable roof over my head,

Over the course of a few years that's well into 6 figures of support

That's why the world invented ETLAs and VELTAs
