The problem here is basically the aggregation and maintenance of the necessary data feeds - once you have a few hundred streams of data you get into a place where you require updates daily.

That said, however, if you live in a covered city, you are basically asking for Citymapper.

Yeah, similar experience about ten years ago, a guy locally was offloading his lathe and was willing to help install and train the purchaser and all his stock. Wife veto'd it. Every now and then I remind her what it would be worth now.

Yes, specifically it's where there's a bit of a stooshie over something silly like niggardly, everyone finally calms down a bit, and then some asshole decides that the correct thing to do is run around shouting "NIGGER NIGGER NIGGER", because political correctness gone mad.

What GP is proposing is some sort of "public" trunk that everyone can then attach to at the end points and sell from there. OK. What GP has not mentioned is that someone has to own and maintain this "public" line and if it's the city, you bet your ass they are going to charge you for it one way or another.

This is exactly the system we have in the UK and it works extremely well.

Reportedly, what is being blocked is actual emails from or to a gmail address, not the service. Odd move though.

Russian non-state hackers, I would posit; I can't see the point of burning state resources on this. And I can't see anyone else with the motivation plus capability. The only other remote possibility is some sort of false flag operation to demonstrate the need for more resources from some Western agency.

Why we put up with NK at all at this point is simply a matter of lack of leadership.

And the minor issue that doing anything practical puts at risk the life of every single citizen living in Seoul, population 10 million. Never mind the geopolitical risk of any conflict sucking in China, which would be a bit of a nuisance.

That's what we have moderation for. Also, fuck Bennett.

The inter-arrival times of a Poisson process are exponential.

It's far too early to do the maths on the three dimensional case, but uniformly distributed points on the real line have nearest neighbour distances that are exponentially distributed. It should be pretty obvious that with a big enough number of points some will be close.

There are colleges where men are just assumed guilty of any charge of sexual assault, and cannot even question their accusers in the adjudication process

I might have more of a problem with that if it didn't lead, on average, to more cases getting decided correctly.

Equality of outcome, equality of opportunity. Neither is perfect. Enjoy your male tears.

They are not illegal per se. However, there are plenty regulations around how these things are used. Try depositing £20k cash in a UK account and see how anonymous the source of that cash becomes.

Yeah, we mostly call that prostate cancer. Most (old) men die with a prostate cancer in situ.
