For most JS served by CDN, you can (and should) use Subresource Integrity to verify the content. At least the last time I was involved in an AMP project, Google considered AMP to be an "evergreen" project and did not allow publish

Ryanair is 34 years old and flew more PAX in the last two years than Hawaiian has in its entire history, with significantly fewer accidents and incidents, even if you only consider those that occurred while both airlines were flying. It&#x2

Auto Express seems to be the source of those figures, which show that diesel cars as a class have (slightly) higher average mileage than Teslas, and roughly 33% higher average mileage than full electrics as a class. Again, it seems like sel

Presumably people whose use case would require frequent charging in places other than their home (or work) don't buy electric cars, so there's probably some selection bias here.

I wondered what the actual rates would be and found this article: https://www.jstor.org/stable/27739679 It seems that in the late 19th century in the U.S., the annual death rate from horses was approximately 5 per 100,

Until relatively recently, military signallers who carried radios were called Radio Telephone Operators - manuals are still full of references to radio telephones.

I'm not at all convinced that voice recognition are better or safer than well designed physical controls.

Almost all ICE cars here in Ireland are manual, and unfortunately I see people texting away on their phones every day. I'm not certain it'll be the deterrent that you expect it to be.

This is a shockingly uncompassionate perspective - is it satire? Assuming it's genuine, it's also misguided. Almost no-one wants to be obese, alcoholic, etc - accessible healthcare will reduce the incidence of all of these, which

When Ireland rejected by referendum the Lisbon Treaty in 2008, a series of clauses known as the Irish Guarantees were added. One of those guarantees is: > Nothing in the Treaty of Lisbon makes any change of any kind, for any Member State

Current hydrogen production is largely from cracking methane, where natural gas is the feedstock (and also energy source) - it is much cheaper than production from electrolysis.

A 5.56 bullet will leave a full length 20" rifle barrel in under 2ms with something like 1500J kinetic energy, which is greater than 750kW. I don't know what the acceleration profile is like in the barrel - I suspect it might peak

If you are a company, GDPR does apply to data on physical letters and local emails. A large part of the preparation for the introduction of GDPR enforcement was companies getting a handle on what they had stored in various media.

I live in Europe (Ireland) and F150s, Rangers, and other pickups are very common as work vehicles here. There's also a lot of 4x4s like Land Cruisers and Defenders with bull bars, which are presumably less safe for pedestrians.

I'm an Irish citizen and it gives me an 87% chance of getting a work visa for the UK, where Irish citizens have the right to work, study and vote in certain elections, as well as to access social welfare benefits and health services.

Once the packages reach a domestic port, they still have to compete the same domestic journey as a local package.

In most countries, there are severe penalties for airlines who allow passengers to reach destination immigration controls without valid documents, so if there's any doubt, airlines will not allow passengers to fly.

Although Qantas has not had a fatal accident for ~70 years, it has a much smaller fleet and has had far more non-fatal incidents and accidents than Ryanair. The real contender is Hawaiian Airlines, a ~90-year-old airline with no fatal accid

Surely Ryanair takes that crown, an airline which has never had a fatal accident, and which is an order of magnitude larger than Finnair (~130,000,000 passengers annually vs ~13,000,000).

Ireland also does not have mandatory ID, nor do the Nordic countries. I don't think it's as clear cut as you make it out to be.
