Holy historical revisionism Batman!

One was banning deadly misinformation (e.g. injecting bleach) about a deadly global pandemic, as well as stopping the “doxing, threatening, harassment and obstruction of” public health workers.

This is preventing citizens from monitoring taxpayer-funded police activity - not all that dissimilar from listening to a police scanner.

As I suspected, there isn’t much there. What about individual member state expenditures (perhaps even limited to spending on things required by EU law)? OP’s point may have been silly, but this really isn’t any better.

This isn’t some bespoke API/format that they made up to make it harder for you to get your data. Apple did the right thing here and implemented HL7 standards like CDA and FHIR. This is a win for interoperability. There are already a wealth of tools available for dealing with these standards.

I know what you mean. I recently did the same thing for the little bit from Gunsmoke at the beginning of “Is There Anybody Out There?”, e.g. “Is it unsafe to travel at night?” - incidentally spoken by actress Diana Muldaur, who later played Dr. Pulaski in Star Trek TNG.

They clearly aren’t attacking anything (with explosives or otherwise); there is clearly no immediate danger to personnel or equipment. Rather than irrationally panicking, the wise move is to seize the opportunity to observe, collect data, and learn. There are far more ways to do so than using conventional radar or other drones. If the intent of the operator(s) is actually malicious, it was pretty unwise to essentially show your cards like this.

It’s not like these drones would uncover much more than can already be seen by satellites. Probably much more valuable letting them be, studying their physical characteristics, flight behavior, and RF use. Also easier to track down the source - they’ve got to land at some point.

Again, “literally all of recorded history” is literally meaningless. I also find it bizarre that you would find something as simple as a well balanced diet (i.e. one humans enjoyed for hundreds of thousands of years prior to the agricultural revolution) as an “exalted” definition of healthy.

What is your point? That doesn’t mean it’s healthy. Thousands of years is literally nothing on an evolutionary scale. Modern humans have existed for at least 100,000 years.

Bread became ubiquitous because it didn’t require hunting or gathering, i.e. it supported ever growing communities of stationary humans. Not because some ancient nutritionist decided it was good for you.

I think the answer should depend on the school itself, i.e. what is the quality of the math department vs. the cs department? In my case I went with math, and it served me well. I don’t think one or the other will ultimately exclude a motivated person from pursuing their (cs related) passion.
