Comment Re:Welcome to perma ban (Score 2) 181

For two years, now, I've been unable to create a new account that lasts more than a few minutes before being banned, regardless of using VPN, different email addresses, etc. Not sure how they trace them back to me, or why they would go to such lengths.

If you're using Windows it would appear it could be the Microsoft GDID. If you're still using the same browser it could be your unique ID they get from that.

Exactly why does a private company owe you anything if there was no contract between you and it?

There is a contract when you sign up to the website. It's in the terms they get you to tick that you agree to that you never bother to read. Top of the signup page on Reddit...

By continuing, you agree to our User Agreement and acknowledge that you understand the Privacy Policy.

Here's the contract that you sign between yourself and Reddit when you continue to set up an account that you say doesn't exist....

Technically a court can not enforce a law. They can say anything they want, but what would happen if no one listened?.

The court issues a warrant for your arrest. Someone from law enforcement turns up, drags you in front of the court, you get charged at best with contempt and thrown in a cell.

You do know Reddit has privacy settings now to prevent people from browsing through your post history?

Nice but it doesn't stop someone who knows your Reddit name knowing it's you making a post. For example lets say it's about some financial trouble you're in, some legal advice you want, some advice over medical issues lets say something like infertility, there's a couple or married couple going through some problems and one of them wants to make a post asking for advice and in all of those cases you don't want people you know to know about it. That's what throwaway accounts get used for.

Reddit is owned by greedy corporate asshole hipsters ... who don't give 2 flying fucks about EU regulations,

methinks he's referring to uk's gdpr, as eu regulations don't apply in uk.

This is wrong. Because of the UK Withdrawal Act every EU regulation that was in force when we finally left the EU on 31st December 2020 was enacted in UK law to allow the UK government time to then go over and amend/revoke if needed. As EU Regulation 2016/679, aka the EU GDPR, was in force from 2016 it automatically became part of UK law in 2020 when we left.

"A spokesperson for Zuckerberg told Forbes that the yacht crew had been operating on a different radio channel and "the assist was already under way" by the time they discovered the broadcast." THERE IS A WORLDWIDE STANDARD MARITIME EMERGENCY HF AND VHF RADIO CHANNEL AND THEY ALL MONITOR IT OR SHOULD BE. Anyone in trouble knows to use those set frequencies.

The UK NHS is actually four separate NHSs each run by their respective devolved governments. NHS England is run by and voted on by English MPs in Westminster, NHS Scotland is run by the Scottish Parliament at Holyrood, the Welsh NHS is run by the Welsh Senned at Cardiff, the Northern Ireland NHS is run by the NI Assembly at Stormont. With the population of England being ten times that of second place Scotland and accounting for over 85% of the population of the UK NHS England is the largest by far so it's stats tend to be the ones that get reported for the UK.

You can piggy back on the civilian infrastructure without ever exposing devices - just require all devices to access anything beyond the local network via a specific router, which pushes all traffic over a VPN, and nothing goes out over the naked internet as its all dropped if its not going over the VPN. Then all you need to ensure are thoroughly audted and hardened are those routers - everything else cant hit the internet.

Im intimately familiar with range-payload charts.

You have to take my sentence as a whole - I say that its both low density and premium heavy. The low density is because of the range-payload drop off, the premium heavy is because Qantas will make more money with the premium cabin, so thats where the bulk of the weight allowance goes.

The airlines reputation isnt going anywhere, DVT is a known risk on a lot of long haul currently in operation, yet you dont hear anything about airlines getting negative PR about it. This route will be no different. Its a bit longer, but not massively.

Qantas already have it set at around 40% premium seating, with around 140 economy or economy plus seating at 33 inch pitch, and 98 premium seats (first, business and premium economy).

Its a low density, premium heavy cabin precisely because thats what the route demands - they have structured it around what premium seating they can fill, and what economy they might fill. Its no secret that airlines make almost all of their passenger profit from premium seats, and economy is often just about break even, so theres no point in cramming more economy in for this route.
