Tourists have access to tourist-only specials though, which make up for that, I think: https://www.sbb.ch/en/leisure-holidays/inspiration/internati...

I don't know that it's particularly unethical to disrupt /pol/. I'd rather worry that it won't disturb them at all and just push them further into radicalisation.

Legibility. It is a significant improvement, and it still bothers me that English underuses it, even after years of it being my primary reading language.

No, the proper response to that is still not a curve, it's to identify which block of questions wasn't appropriate and removing those from scoring or turning them into "bonus points" and similar measures. That way you do

This reminds me of one of my favourite quotes from Pterry and the Discworld: Elves are wonderful. They provoke wonder. Elves are marvellous. They cause marvels. Elves are fantastic. They create fantasies. Elves are glamorous. They project g

Depends on which version of mastermind. In the one I had as a kid, you'd get which guesses were correct etc, just like here.

Gone with the Wind is probably the big exception - well done, for sure, but blatant pro-South propaganda...

See, that's the point. That's only _American_ conservatism. It's not what a CDU represents in Germany, nor what Die Mitte represents in Switzerland - both of which are decidedly conservative parties.

Plus, it was clear that online shopping could work and offered certain advantages (and disadvantages). It was also pretty clear that online access was only going to expand, which would make online shopping more attractive. It hadn't hi

Having two houses of parliament can be used to balance out regional representation with population-based representation. That way, population centers don't completely overshadow more rural areas. That can be overdone, like in the US, w

The problem I have with your comment is likely the reason the scientists were worried about how best to communicate their results: "sexual orientation is not the expression of any one gene" is not the same as "people are not

Might be unenforceable, but they don't have to cater to them and can and will break forked clients for however long it takes those to catch back up. And then Signal gets flak for not hobbling their development processes to the speed of

None of these are discrimination in the narrower sense that it's usually understood as. 1 and 4 don't actually ban those people, they simply don't provide any services that those groups of people would want. 3 is choosing no

I mean, it happened live on air, they were clearly identified as CNN and willing to comply with police orders - making the police's claim laughable. I wonder what those officers were thinking, arresting a reporter on live camera.

It was the warmest since records began. '24-'25 was just similarly much warmer than average at that time. Winters that are 3-4 degrees above average happen every so often. However, since the average is now much higher than a hundr

This was done a few years back in Switzerland by national television. With the approval of everyone involved, a pentester was supposed to shut down the street lights in a medium-sized town. The pentester got in, got to the correct controls

All of the 4.x versions together make up just over 10% of Androids used, according to Google. Pretty much every single 5.x version has a bigger share. It's reasonable to give that up if it makes development easier / the end resul

But isn't it regularly an argument for the absurd executive salaries that they have to shoulder so much responsibility and risk? Seems to me that they wouldn't have it both ways...

Thank you, this is a very good summary!

Can Facebook do that while Zuckerberg is involved though? And do it credibly? Personally, I don't think so but it's still a big win if they do, so I'm mostly fine with either outcome

At this point, to this non-native speaker, "than we" sounds bizarrely antiquated.

Not for a lot of disabled people. There are many reasons why a straw might be necessary.

Not really. There's a whole lot of ancient alien conspiracies out there that openly state that. And of course there's the point that the only artifacts that are "out of place" and "too advanced" are those produ

Nothing per se, is just going to make both your life harder and make it very difficult to produce software that is useful for others. You need to talk to people to be able to produce the software they need, ultimately.

That's not at all obvious. I think first you'd have to prove that all those extra costs "logically follow"...

The cost in this case would be in switching. They're already using a system that works for them, why bother changing to something else?

No, people do need to understand it or they won't believe it's too be trusted. Hacking an election is not even necessary if your can make a large segment of the population believe that it was done. Eroding all trust in the democra

For clarification for non-Swiss people: Grades in Switzerland go 1-6, with 6 being the best, 4 being passing and 1 being the worst grade. A 4.75, typically rounded to a 5, is therefore a decent, though not amazing grade.
