This is the first public office the guy will hold.
According to wikipedia, he was Minister of the Economy, Industry and Digital Affairs in France 26 August 2014 – 30 August 2016. I think that counts as a public office?
I think the GP means that this will be the first elected office Macron has held. Ministers are appointed.
>Do you believe rehabilitation is impossible or do you want revenge?
I don't believe that someone who commits mass murder can be rehabilitated, no. It isn't about revenge; it's about public safety.
Someone once pointed out that hoping a rapist gets raped in prison isn't a victory for his victim(s), because it somehow gives him what he had coming to him, but it's actually a victory for rape and violence. I wish I could remember who said that, because they are right. The score doesn't go Rapist: 1 World: 1. It goes Rape: 2.
What this man did is unspeakable, and he absolutely deserves to spend the rest of his life in prison. If he needs to be kept away from other prisoners as a safety issue, there are ways to do that without keeping him in solitary confinement, which has been shown conclusively to be profoundly cruel and harmful.
Putting him in solitary confinement, as a punitive measure, is not a victory for the good people in the world. It's a victory for inhumane treatment of human beings. This ruling is, in my opinion, very good and very strong for human rights, *precisely* because it was brought by such a despicable and horrible person. It affirms that all of us have basic human rights, even the absolute worst of us on this planet.
This is precisely why I lost all interest in Oculus the instant I heard that it had been acquired by Facebook.
You know... There's a German word for that - I'd not even begin to pretend to know how to spell it so I'll spare you the attempt. I'd not thought of that. There's even an appropriate French phrase but I'd butcher that all to hell so I'll spare you that one too.
I believe you're thinking of Schadenfreude.

You can automate quite a lot, and you can even get the per unit cost competitive with a low wage worker. The problem is design changes, whether small tweaks to a current product or bring-up the next generation of a device. It's quite cheap to have a one hour meeting with the line workers to say, "look, you're going to put the screw 5mm to the left now." It's quite expensive to make even trivial changes to a largely-automated manufacturing process.
I believe it is very hard to overturn a jury verdict of "not guilty." A jury finding of "guilty" has a much lower barrier. Samsung has already asked for exactly that, even before this most recent discovery.
I haven't posted a journal here in almost three years, because I couldn't find the button to start a new entry.
So... hi, Slashdot. I used to be really active here, but now I mostly lurk and read. I've missed you.
A language that doesn't affect the way you think about programming is not worth knowing.
