>I'm amazed that these things are kept to quiet until they make a big public splash, absolutely no chat/rumours about this locally despite it being found 11 months ago. Sadly theft is a big problem everywhere, be it antiquities

It's not just « a race car », it's a Group B car with a new body. It's one of the greatest cars in racing history. To start you at least need to action the general electric break, switch the electricity on, push another one

>The Dakar has a similar long history of expensive tech being stolen, held to ransom etc. It's not a « long history », it's a one time event, and one that very likely has nothing to do with the locals. The whole story around it

By "West", do you mean the US ? He's always been extremely popular with cinephiles in Western Europe. If anything, he's closer to Dreyer than Eisenstein (which is hinted at in the article) and fits well in the lineage of

The classic European politician career path. See Schröder, Sarkozy, Fillon... They're almost as scummy as retired (Association) football players.

I very highly doubt France would work with Cray/HPE, or any non-French contractor for that matter, on this. As far as I'm aware, they're working with Bull (now part of Atos).

Exception handling and garbage collection are two features that feel superfluous, if not outright noxious, to a number of programmers; in particular those doing systems, embedded, real time programming. That is the crowd that still uses C.

The assumption that asking for the removal of what is essentially discriminatory somptuary laws amounts to asking for apostasy is your own. Internal religious regulations have no bearing on the law and whether or not they're essential

I would feel extremely comfortable banning those head coverings from all universities, if not all public venues. Religious vestment simply has no place outside of ritual occasions. But then again, I'm from the country Atatürk took afte

They're not the same fountains, nor the same water grid (through the modern grid might use portions of the Roman one). There were centuries where Rome was completely abandoned and reduced to a collection of villages and feudal holdings
