There are some websites that will issue a translation of your license that looks very similar to the "official" IDP. Depending on where you're going it might be sufficient. (Generally works fine for avoiding police "coff

Yeah, the actual law is irrelevant most of the time, since it's just a shakedown. I did encounter one cop who knew about the 2 different IDP conventions and was able to extract the coffee money even if you had one. If you don't wa

In both of the two European countries I've been involved in a passport application for, we had to bring photos along, which we got taken by a photographer in a copy store. There was no certification of the photographer involved that I&

The lack of dedicated tracks for high-speed passenger service matters a lot though. It’s part of the reason why those (very impressive) scheduled Munich-Berlin times are so often not achieved. The “slot” for the service is relatively small

Maybe not so relevant to the economics of a dining car, but I have to take issue with “just as much of a bullet train”. Shinkansen are proper high speed rail with dedicated tracks, top speeds of 320km/h, and high speeds (260km/h o

Would have been a bad time to find out you had a heart condition. Grabbing with both hands (and being distracted) is indeed very dangerous, which is why the comment you replied to mentioned taking care. Many electricians will do small tasks

It’s likely not worth the additional energy usage though, at least when running on battery.

Right, but that meaning isn’t quite right. To pique your interest is to arouse it, leaving open the possibility that you become even more interested, a possibility which peaking of your interest does not leave open.

The crash you reference was most likely caused by a pilot choosing to fly too low (they performed the flyover at 30ft instead of 100ft) and striking trees which had not been marked on charts provided to them. The pilot did try to blame the

I have the sleep schedule reminders turned off and it still knows when I’m sleeping.

That’s quite a weird misrepresentation of the feature. You can configure it yourself to remind you to go to bed at a certain time, if you’d like to try to have more consistent sleep patterns.

I get the desire to assign a simple “blame” to a single entity, but reality has a habit of being more complex. Even if we accept that CrowdStrike’s fuckup was the root cause of all the issues that Delta customers experienced, the level of i

Do we have good evidence for the things that they avoided being harmful to one’s microbiome? Especially the organic and locally sourced part I would think is very unlikely to have good evidence.

So just to understand this correctly, you're suggesting that they have some people/processes dedicated to keeping track of any canary string published by anyone (or some defined subset of "anyone"), and updating their in

They probably got the numbers for the nutrition label from the earlier study and nobody got around to checking yet.

This doesn’t appear to do routing across railway services , but rather on the tracks . It has no idea whether there is an actual train that runs on the offered route, only that there is continuous track from A to B without gauge changes e

When I lived in Shanghai 6 years ago they were trialling QR for the metro. It was really bad, always huge queues with people struggling to get the right angle/illumination/whatever to make it scan. I’ve never seen similar issues w

Given Apple’s general approach, I suspect it’s on-device and these are the only devices that can currently achieve a good experience. I’d like to see them make the devices work together - having an iPhone, Mac or iPad run the model but acce

Having traveled widely in three of the four most populous countries I’m a bit dubious of this claim. Having decent 4G in the middle of nowhere in India or Indonesia is pretty standard these days. I haven’t been to Africa, but a quick search

What, specifically, is the “secure browsing” that they offer and how does it improve on HTTP over modern TLS? Funnelling your traffic through another entity doesn’t magically increase security.
