The administrative overhead and the overhead of engineering everything to with multiple vendors is what is massive

Dividing between providers is not what people would be doing if the resilience of cloud services were as is being memed about.
Doing so is phenomenally expensive.
Yeah that is important context.
Looking at UK government stats the difference is starker here - over 100 deaths per billion passenger miles for motorcyclists, only 3 for car occupants, and 27 for pedestrians.
The note of panic in my mum's voice when talking about the possibility of my getting a motorbike is still out of proportion though.
We mainly had non-summative assignments, so those had names on. Exams were all done by student-number, with a fold-down section where you wrote and signed your name.
In fairness I also didn't feel like I was reading eyewitness accounts of this kind of thing so maybe it doesn't actually happen (or almost never, or did in the past but no longer)
I checked the stats in my country, where 55% of contributing factors are assigned to motorcyclists in collisions involving them. Due to how this data is produced, that doesn't mean 55% of accidents involving them were found to be the fault of motorcyclists, but it means that a significant number of motorbike accidents are the fault of the rider, whichever way you slice it.
Rates of serious injury/death are about 2000 per billion passenger miles for motorbikes, of which 100 are deaths. Haven't been able to find the same stats for GA though.
There are arguments that comparing passenger-miles isn't reasonable for activities like GA and motorbiking which are done for pleasure as well as for transport, in which case flying looks worse.
Presumably not in California or wherever else there are sensible data protection laws?
I have heard that in America the police sometimes fine people for driving at the speed limit because they're driving too slowly. It's an absolute farce.
A law that everyone breaks is a law that the police can choose to prosecute anyone for, for any reason. A law that you can be prosecuted for not breaking means you can't even escape being targeted.
Sorry, didn't realise you were a lost cause. Hope you escape.
I don't believe it's easier than rsync.
Women always had height requirements, you just started seeing them written down.
Online dating certainly brought some new problems, but most women hate it too so if it doesn't work for you the old staples of finding a partner through friends, a hobby or at work are still there, as well as specific dating activities.
Or just don't put your height in your bio and be funny. Those "non negotiable height requirements" turn out to be very negotiable in a lot of cases.
What other understanding of sentience would we fucking use?!
The mycelium network thing is way overblown - it allows some crude, ~~undetected~~undirected signals to pass.
