For people who live alone, I agree. But if you buy a Steam Machine, you can play Linux-compatible games while the primary PC is in use for non-Steam applications by another member of the household, and you can stream Windows-only games while the PC is available. A Steam Link allows only the latter use case.

And that is exactly what a lot of us are afraid of.

It is notable that a couple of the local authorities who first tried these changes have since reverted. It's hard to know the real reasons for that decision given all the factors involved, but allegedly the safety implications turned out not to be as favourable as expected.

The trouble is these decisions at local authority level are always partly motivated by political concerns (often with a NIMBY element) and always have one eye on the money jar.

The actual study this is all based on has quite a few significant limitations, many of which the original authors did acknowledge right on page 1. I set out a some of them in another post in this discussion. Unfortunately, newspaper headlines and biased councillors both have a way of only highlighting the over-simplified conclusion and not all the caveats that go with it.

Sex prior to the age when a mother can support herself and her child is not required. Are children exposed to porn more sexually active?

Of course you should slow down if you can't see properly. No-one is suggesting otherwise.

On the other hand, forcing people to do so makes formerly cycle-friendly streets cycle-hostile, so now people who might have to come home late are driving instead, undoing years of work to promote cycling as an alternative mode of transport.

Or, we could just have sensible, cycle-friendly levels of street lighting to encourage the sustainable, environmentally tolerable, high capacity modes of transport that we actually need.

Sure, you can get dramatically more powerful cycle lights, but most bike shops don't routinely carry them around here and hardly anyone actually has them. So at a minimum, this adjustment for changing street lighting seems to require everyone to buy much more expensive bike lights. At a time when people not buying bike lights at all is a significant safety problem that comes up every year here, I'm not sure that policy is realistic.

There is still such a thing? I thought they have become a piece of our mythical history. Like work ethics, or customer service.

Ain't they on vacation now? Weld the doors shut and hope for the best.

Of course you have a right to be forgotten. We'll start with your politicians.

entering "Francois Hollande" into google...

searching ...

no results for your request. Did you mean "french hollandaise"?

Actually, peoples being punished for the stupidity of their leaders (leaders that never had to face an election, no less) was the reason why WW2 happened...

Women have held peerages in the House of Lords for over half a century. So I don't see the problem unless there is some other reason making it improper for members of the House of Lords to model underwear.

In most cases this will have an impact on you inside your country. There, it is filtered.

If you have to deal with foreign parties for some reason, this usually also means that you're dealing with people who know better than to trust some sources just 'cause it's on the net.

Ain't necessary. In France, Google does actually filter the results.

Implementing such a thing would not accomplish anything.

France wishes to enforce its laws outside of France. And that's something they lack the aircraft carriers for.

I gather from the article that it's anonymized such that the government can see only that some licensed business requested at X date and time that citizen 123456789's age be compared to 18, and that business 987654321 made X requests during a given month.

What advantage does single transferable vote have over approval voting, which is easier to count?

We have looked this up before. If your external windows are overlooking public space and someone's reasonable lighting is partially lighting that space as well, then unless it's obviously excessive it is unlikely there is anything enforceable that can be done, any more than you have an enforceable right to demand council-operated street lighting around your home all be turned off because you don't like it. I'm not even sure there should be anything enforceable that can be done in that situation, but that's just my personal opinion. I'm just pointing out that for lighting under council control, there may be extra steps they can take to moderate the impact anyway.
