They had the “We the people” platform, started by Obama. But Trump started ripping it apart, and Biden pulled the plug on his first day in the office.

And even then instead of being people driven, the US administration would choose what they want to address or not. For all the excesses of EU bureaucracy, there are plenty cases like this where it prevents politicians from ignoring people’s concerns; they can still refuse to act, but at least the petition system forces them to go on record.

Are ID Documents numbers validated on submit if you fill the form instead of using eID? Some countries don’t even have an eID option, and Finland and Ireland don’t even ask for document id.

This specific case would be super predictable, notice how the desire path becomes wider at the end. Pedestrian path should always do that because that’s how people walk.

Memory and network stop being cheap AF when you multiply it by a billion users. And Whatsapp is a mobile app that’s expected to work on the crappiest of networks and connections.

For high volume wire formats using uint8 instead of uint32 can make a huge difference when considering the big picture. Not everyone is working on bootcamp level software.

It depends on how much you practice disconnecting. I found that working 4 day weeks allows me disconnect almost immediately every weekend.

Disconnection is not really a vacation issue per-se, it’s a work-life balance issue that can’t be solved if you spend the overwhelming amount of you waking time working.

I wonder what this kind of people think about >20days of vacation in Europe.

DB is the definite proof that German efficiency is a lie, but tourists using urban transports in big cities will usually have a good experience. Even the public transports in Berlin have got their shit together in the last few years, even if S-Bahn/DB are still a level below BVG.

to a maximum of 40 hours per year

So does not allowing food companies to sprinkle lead and uranium in food. What’s the point?

If you work in tech in Europe, lots of people are already on mastodon.

Secret, secret, I’ve got a secret, now I have the song stuck in my head. (Thanks)

Yes. And photos should also have a disclaimer about what kinds of edits were done, regardless if they were done manually or by AI.

I keep seeing stupid ideas in social media because people believe edited photos match reality.

Yeah, it would be great if Google made this more granular. The same for Samsung with AutoBlock.

If any work it’s a bug. “Dating” apps don’t want to be dating apps, they want to be hookup apps because that’s how they can keep repeat customers. The only way dating apps would remain dating apps under for profit companies is if they found a way to charge a subscription for long term relationships.

As I said, all studies I could find show that’s not how the human brain works. For almost everyone it’s easier to focus on the road when they actively have to drive. And this is not even exclusive to self driving vehicles, there are plenty of accidents on monotonous roads because drivers lose attention when they don’t actively need to do anything for long periods.

Tesla’s “Full Self Driving” mode requires the driver to pay attention the entire time

This is a BS excuse. You can’t expect most human beings to fully alert at all time when they don’t have to actively need to do something for most of the time. There are several studies that prove the situational awareness always drops over time in Level 3 and Level 4 self driving vehicles.

The drivers only real fault is activating the self-driving in the first place. The attention requirement only exists to protect Tesla’s bank accounts.

A “nation” is a community, and without conducting a full investigation into every individual birth, the two main indicators that a child will likely have strong ties to a national community are:

1. the parents already belong to that national community
2. the parents reside permanently in the country. Almost all countries in the mid shade of blue use this criteria for restricted birthright.

Nationality should be about building a community, so nationality should be given if the parents have an effective connection to the country. For this reason I think the best solution is combining nationality “by blood” (i.e. if one of the parents is a national), restricted “jus soli” (i.e. children of permanent residents get the nationality too), and, as an exception, I believe children that would otherwise be stateless should get nationality on birth to fix the glaring human rights issue.

As for children naturalisation, I believe any child that does most of mandatory schooling in a country should automatically get nationality.

This being said, I also believe that very few rights and duties should be restricted to nationals. People shouldn’t have to live in fear of having their entire life upturned or not have access to services and social support just because they have the wrong passport.
