Those two things are mutually exclusive. The convention establishes the ECHR as the highest court ruling over matters of the convention and states that are part of the convention are bound to those rulings. Establishing the UK high court as

But that’s a general trueism in security. Whether your changes are effective depends on what and whom you’re trying to protect against.

It really depends in which way they complained to Hetzner. Write a stern email? Hetzner could forward it to you and give time to respond. Preliminary injunction (not uncommon in trademark cases), they'd have no choice in that matter. G

I bike roughly 30 minutes to work. The route I take crosses a bridge at the end and a point that’s notable for having traffic jam up. In perfect road conditions, no Traffic jam, the same distance by car takes 25 - 30 minutes, plus required

There are other places I. The world where this is not true. For example, more than 50% of all households within this S-Bahn ring in Berlin (let’s call that the extended center) do not own a car. The bike may also replace a second or third

I’d love to see that study and see if it takes into account how much energy was expended constructing the car vs the bike and the roadway required for the car. CO2/Mile on a basis of marginal energy invested for each extra mile is not

No, the only things that matter are the losses and those are due to air resistance (same), rolling resistance (increases linear with weight) and losses due to braking/acceleration (grows quadratic with weight). Heavier is always worse.

Trains travel much faster and air resistance scales quadratic. But otoh, being able to travel at faster speeds obviously is a major advantage for a train. Now, if we could just combine the two and have enough bike slots on a train, that wou

I’m certain we’re missing something in that article. An electric bike shouldn’t be more efficient than a normal bike - it’s heavier and the wind resistance is the same. My first guess is that the power use for the electric assist only consi

Goats and sheep have different grazing behavior. Sheep are great for grasses, but goats will happily eat everything- shrubs, grass, name it.

The problem is more that the power grids were built under some assumption of average use per household. In germany, numbers of about 2kw/hour on average have been mentioned lately (two hair dryers). Adding significant sustained load to

I entirely agree - supporting multiple operating systems is effort at every level and from a certain size on, you need people with dedicated knowledge of each OS. But if that’s the problem, make that point instead of finding excuses.

Mobile device management is the topic. You can manage windows devices remotely, just as you can manage MacOS devices. No need for them to check in. It „just“ takes some effort, and if you have multiple operating systems to support, the effo

They do allow linux though, and I have yet to find a competent device management software that supports Mac, Windows and Linux at the same time (or even Mac and Linux). I‘d be happy to hear recommendations.
