We could pick a company car in my previous company (it's a tax thing). We could pick any color, apart from red, because the insurance forbade it - red cars get into more accidents.…

And yet the root comment claims the opposite (the US is very stretched out, so it’s harder to connect all of it). In my country, fiber is run to my apartment building and through t…

The physical barcode reader is long gone in Belgium. Instead, you scan the QR code with your banking app (or on mobile, click a link to open the banking app), and either verify dir…

We have a Bambu Lab P2S at work. I was considering to buy one myself, because of the ease of use and relative affordability. What printers are similarly priced and have similar spe…

> The model first developed a moderately sophisticated multi-step exploit to gain broad internet access from a system that was meant to be able to reach only a small number of pred…

10W is enough to block GPS signals in a 15-30km radius. The signals are below the noise floor and easy to disrupt.

There is a big double standard where heterosexual posts and queer posts depicting the same things get treated differently.

Here in Belgium too. Somehow they don’t properly work if you have other Bluetooth devices connected, so the app forces you to disconnect other devices. Then it needs access to prec…

The concern was related to being able to know where emergency vehicles were. If you build a system that announces to traffic light “I’m police/fire/EMS, coming through”, you also b…

That's not how it works - the idea is your navigation app signals the lights in advance. If you will reach red lights in 1km, the app signals this and the lights will be green befo…

Flemish EMT here. There were a lot of privacy concerns for emergency services when this came out, and my service is in fact not using it on most ambulances. The same concerns were …

This is my brother's job, testing for contaminants. He says it can be very boring. For example, they always test for lead, and it's always negative. But it's a necessary precaution…

This is absolutely fantastic! I have been looking on and off for something like this for years (some of the things I have used are CouchDB, command/event sourcing, and ditto.live).…

We do not! The US is a loved destination for training placements and exchanges because you can see so many stabbings and shootings in one shift. However, a shooting is just one typ…

Events like this are much more common than you may think, though rarely as severe as this shooting. From fires at retirement homes and even at an ED once, bus crashes, WWII bombs s…

Can't say for Las Vegas, but we do here (in Belgium). There's a dedicated responsibility during mass casualties to distribute leaving ambulances over hospitals, also taking into ac…

Interesting that he had to do so much thinking and improvising. I'm an EMT in Belgium, and every hospital here has to have plans for mass casualty events. Ambulance bays are built …

I wonder if OpenStreetMap has historical information easily available and easily queryable. It'd be interesting to see the evolution of the number of benches in cities and parks. M…

(That would be a semantic error rather than syntactic error, no?)

Likely due to reporting. It seems that news articles are used as the source. If the DJI marketing team maintaining this map is English, it's probably easier to find or verify Engli…

While there is population stabilisation, there's also changing demographics. Immigration, more single people (or people waiting until later in life to move in together), and an agi…

Huh, thanks for the tip. I'll try this next time I meet a patou!

I am a SWE (IANAL) with a post-grad degree in GDPR/DPO, and while I had only time for a cursory read, I must say it hits a lot of nails on the head! A breath of fresh air in times …
