I think that the greatest cities on Earth have DEEP histories, offer diversity, and have been at the crossroads of the human condition.

Not sure how you can say all that, exclude London and then put Montreal on there… place is less then 400 years old!

The Nokia 7110 was possibly the coolest dumbphone.

I think the iPhone X may have been peak smartphone in terms of aesthetics, but I’ve never tried a folding phone.

Didn’t knew it was a place where bottom pit of clueless racist people.

Um… they voted him in last time despite his history as an MEP. They know who he is.

In the UK I’d suggest anyone who owns their own home get solar panels, a battery and some form of air conditioning (if not a full heat pump/boiler replacement) ASAP.

You can’t directly stop the government doing terrible things, but you can dramatically slash your own energy bills and make sure you can survive heat waves in comfort.

I read that as “Count Binface” and wondered what in the Doctor Who was going on… 😳

I’m sorry but that’s absolutely not true

We want to reduce the barrier to someone using a pedal bike, and if they have to fart around trying to find a helmet or worry about getting a ticket, they’re more likely to just not bother and use a car instead.

No. Obviously I think if you can wear them you should, but making them required reduces the willingness of people to cycle, so as a strategy for swapping from car to bike, it is less effective.

Sure, but the reason isn’t always just security.

We have government contracts and want more. But to get those, they insist on us doing a bunch of security things.

So it sucks for the users, but if we don’t implement the restrictions, we lose the contracts and thus the income.

And as a side benefit, holy shit we are pretty secure. Next annual pentest soon and I’m expecting good things from it!
