Why do you thing "public view" is something good. And why should I expose myself to that pain?!


Perhaps because "sunlight is the best disinfectant" - Transparency about the workings of an organization prevents corruption.

I do not work for goverment, I am fisherman!


So? That doesn't make you above the law, or guarantee that you will behave well. Even if you personally do all the right things, laws aren't written to satisfy individuals - there are plenty of fishing companies out there ruining the oceans.


Is goverment going to hire me, so I work for them? Where do I apply? Also I want gold medal for being a hero (minimum 130grams, 20carats), where is dispensery? I have several millions of heroes!!!!


A corrupt one, from the sound of it.


Because if everyone has that attitude then we'll scour the ocean of all edible life. Leaving only a wasteland for possibly millions of years.


Fish do not work that way. If humans nuke themselfs, fish will recover in a few decades.


If humans don't nuke themselves but keep fishing as they do, the fish will absolutely not recover. Fish aren't magic.


A few decades is a long time - we overfished the grand banks to near extinction in the 90's and they still haven't recovered[1].

A few decades... Give it like 8


Ah so the reasonable scenario is that things will be ruined for the lifetimes of almost everyone currently on earth. Not really that weird that some people would see that as a negative.


There's no recovery from extinction, and extinction is on the table here.


In this case?

Because I want there to still be fish to eat in 20 years and enforced public view will make illegal overfishing harder.


I imagine it's much easier to control on the trade side of things if governments really want to. Fish have to be brought relatively fresh to markets where there is demand.


Depending on the species. There are factory ships, such as the name suggest have onboard factories that process the fish into filets, pack, freeze and stow the fish, enabling the vessels to stay longer out at sea - limited either by their cargo capacity or quota. Arguably this is good for the quality of the fish as well since it is frozen fresh.


Car rental...


If the car:

1. Is available.

2. If the car rental company doesn't pull shenanigans such as cancelling your rental at the last moment due to <reasons>.

3. Is the kind of model you want or need.

4. Has the extras you like/need (adaptive cruise control, etc).

Etc.

In my experience car rentals suck, I wouldn't want to use them except for when I'm flying somewhere.


Lived that when I blew my Class B RV's transmission in Crescent City, CA on the 101 (Van life! Van life! #PortlandiaReference). I was going to be stuck there for a month waiting for parts until I galaxy brained my way out of it by getting my car towed to a dealer in Medford, OR and bought an EV there for below cost the same day, the first EV the dealer had ever sold hence the discount.


It is active war zone. Civilian aircrafts should not be near it!


Kalingrad isn’t


It is very easy lifestyke, just use a van with proper equipment, not freaking tesla.


A literal ton of cargo in a trailer is nothing extraordinary. Did you ever lived on a farm?


ya but not when your tow rig is an EV SUV

a heavy duty diesel tow pig usually has an auxiliary fuel tank in the bed and can do 1000+ miles in one go.


Extra parking would bring in "poor" people who live in France, Italy or Germany but commute to work in Switzerland. Just another form of elitism.


Unsupported devices can always become somehow supported and enabled. To harden computer, you remove WiFi cards, cut on-board antennas, desolder mics and speakers, desolder USB ports...

I did that for computer that was used to sign bitcoin transactions offline. User typed hashes manually...


> Unsupported devices can always become somehow supported and enabled

Be very careful if anonymous developers suddenly contribute OpenBSD drivers for every single component in the 20 year old garage sale laptop you use for hosting an "online store" on TOR


If I remember correctly, Ada was much slower compared to C. Stuff like boundary checks on arrays has a cost.


Runtime checks can be disabled in Ada. They’re useful for debug builds though!


But that elimites purpose for Ada. Rust has better type system to deal with this.


I thought both Ada and rust have good compile time checks for memory safety that eliminates the need for run time checks?


This! I am horrified to touch anything old from GNU!


This already happened in UK.
