Well that's what I mean, why is the rest of society hosed to hell and back, I somehow doubt the telegraph is even willing to consider that might be a question you could ask in their haste to assert that the lack of rigorous metricization is irreparably damaging children.

BizarroAzrael posted:It seems I'm getting my second jab way early, I had my first four weeks ago today and I just got the text to book. Four weeks-ish is the ideal spacing right? I was expecting to wait eleven. Seems like uptake is good as all the spots at the town hall got snapped up, last one vanished when I tried for it. Hmm I might cancel the 2nd appointment I booked then and just wait until I get asked. I did the booking myself and the earliest was 12 weeks.

Equally, it's not really in the interest of the people who have turned them into botnets or crypto mining rigs or whatever remotely for them to stop working, so I'd imagine they tend not to gently caress up randomly too much.

i liked the windy handle like you could express your annoyance at having to wind down the window for someone, if the occasion called for it, by pumping that windy handle very angrily and doing a face  you can't express yourself with a button

Jaeluni Asjil posted:Just shows how vulnerable we are! Just after 9/11 (when the collapsing buildings incidentally knocked big chunks of the internet offline by severing fibres underneath them) a lot of the transit providers got very paranoid about physical cyberattacks and ran round angle-grinding their names off their manhole covers so nobody would know the porn pipes were underneath (because ultimately there's not much stopping someone lifting one and going wild with some bolt cutters (as long as they have enough knowledge to avoid the 600V power lines that run alongside them to power the repeaters). Two months later, after multiple rather more mundane JCB-related breaks, they realised what this actually meant is that it now took their crews hours on end to find the right manhole to pull up before they could even start fixing them, and ran around Aralditing new nameplates on (you can still see the particularly shiny brass GXN ones all around London, completed the week GXN went bankrupt).

it was much the same with the old glass fronted fires that had the pokey thing you attached the stick thing to and gave it a good hard pump, for to kindle the fire if you were annoyed with someone in the living room you could really get your frustration out with that thing PUMPPUMPPUMPfuckinPUMPPUMPteabegPUMPPUMPinPUMPPUMPfertwosecondsPUMPPUMPmilkyfuckinPUMPPUMPteaPUMPPUMP and then the fire would WHOOSH up the chimney, there, and you'd gain some primordial satisfaction for seeing it we've lost all these things to buttons

goddamnedtwisto posted:It's paywalled and as it's the Indy it's not even worth the effort of working round that - what do they claim the problem is? The Home Secretary is responsible for policing - as long as they don't have her on record giving ordering them to do illegal things then there's not any actual legal problem, surely? The legal position is, like many of our constitutional arrangements, extremely confusing: but there is both some legislation (and some things that aren't quite legislation but would still carry some weight), and some case law, to support the moral position that the police are or should be operationally independent from politicians. That moral principle usually gets expressed as something like "there should be someone or some body which oversees the police, sets their budgets, powers, and priorities, and appoints and dismisses chief constables; but politicians cannot and should not interfere in things like the decision to begin or end an investigation or prosecution, or how to deal with a live incident". Under this formulation, what she's done is a clear breach of operational independence. She's also doubly out of order because in this case she was apparently trying to direct the Chief Constable of Hertfordshire, who is responsible only to the residents of his police area via the police and crime commissioner. (Unlike the Met Commissioner, who is directly responsible to the Home Secretary.) It may even come to something if it sufficiently pisses off the libertarian/decentralisation/NIMBY/"keep these Whitehall bureaucrats out of decisions that should be made by the parish council" tendency within the Tories.

Weirdly it seems like the problem isn't actually AWS but another firm, Fastly, who I've literally never heard of. Everyone assumed AWS because the AWS status page was down and bits of the main shop site were broken but it turns out they all use this Fastly thing as well.

The Home Secretary is responsible for policing - as long as they don't have her on record giving ordering them to do illegal things then there's not any actual legal problem, surely? Strange it wasn't paywalled when I read it yesterday. Long and short of the article is the Crown were claiming that there was little to no contact between the Home Secretary and the police dealing with the protests. It transpires that there was (on the face of it) lots of communication but what was said isn't relevant to the trial. The judge ruled "it seems like it is quite relevant and should be disclosed to the defence." What I suspect the next stage will be seeing records where Priti Patel told the Inspector to personally go down there and crack the skulls of all the protesters involved and the Crown will argue that she didn't mean that literally so it's fine.
