Flying_Crab posted:The consequences of someone running a light as a 200lb bicycle/rider at 12mph vs a 4,000 pound vehicle going 30-50mph are not in any way comparable And yet I have debilitating injuries that result from a series of collisions I received from bike couriers bombing down the street and running me over, so please don't minimize it too much. Now me, I don't drive, much - in fact, I mostly ride public transportation or walk. Yet I've never been hit by a car, but two cyclists have sent me to the hospital as a pedestrian. They hit-and-ran, too - hopped right on their bikes and pedaled off, and I was too injured to get up without assistance. Real fine examples of humanity. The only guy to actually hit me and then proceed to leap out of his vehicle and try to beat me up with a collapsing steel baton was driving a car, though, so there does seem to be a scale involved. I think the answer is y'all both of you need to walk more. Kesper North fucked around with this message at 03:25 on Dec 4, 2020 |

RIP John le Carre, one of my favorite writers. In his memory, please consider reading the beautiful and topical novel Gnomon, which was written by his son, Nick Harkaway - who is another, on his own merits. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/33852053-gnomon quote:From the widely acclaimed author of The Gone-Away World and Tigerman, comes a virtuosic new novel set in a near-future, high-tech surveillance state, that is equal parts dark comedy, gripping detective story, and mind-bending philosophical puzzle. This is one of my favorite books, and also deeply personally meaningful to me. It's about the dangers of ubiquitous surveillance and state control, but much of what it says also translates remarkably well for someone who lived through a decade plus in an abusive relationship where gaslighting was a major component. It provided a useful metaphor that led to me reconnecting to parts of myself I thought I'd lost forever, and were crucial to recovery. Harkaway is a hell of a writer, in my opinion, and you can see le Carre in his writing.

SquirrelyPSU posted:I feel like a 911 network should have some manner of redundancy outside of one building. You'd think, right? Part of my job is both assessing the security of, and writing disaster plan documents for, systems like that. All too often, they have single points of failure because they are - as others have noted in the thread - struggling for every bit of funding they can get. Now, that ATT let them go down at all? That is weird to me. The lack of redundancy I mostly put down to the known shortage of fiber backhauls in rural Tennessee. It is very weird to me that they can't run the whole datacenter, or at least the 911 systems, on their available generators. Like... this is the sort of thing I would ding an organization for real hard on an audit. You're sort of not in compliance if you can't keep the systems up when the power goes out and you can't demonstrate at least some redundancy. It's kind of a big deal. Maybe some of their generators wouldn't start. Kesper North fucked around with this message at 05:04 on Dec 26, 2020 |
