Someone go as a tourist in places where polio is endemic ?

did you read the link i provided? in case the implication wasn’t clear i’ll say it explicitly. Viruses which are virtually nonexistent (not circulating in the population) can be induced in a population by vaccination itself (in rare cases when using an attenuated virus).

Yeah, and the vaccines protect everyone else.But the problem is that it seems that you consider a virus nonexistend when it do not infect humans, but it is not this way: viruses exist anyway, they do not go extinct.

It is not a coincidence that measles epidemics rise when and where the vaccination rates drops.

It will not be you (or who is making this decision) who will suffer the consequences so yeah, think vaccines are useless just because you don't see polio sufferers in the vaccinated population. Then open an history book and look for polio epidemics.

every ebike can be unlocked with relative ease. theres nothing any law can do to stop that from happening unless they ban imports of everything below 250 watts and even then people will still be able to modify the bikes. they even tried it with CANbus, but at the end of the day its a motor, a controller, a throttle or pedal assist, and a battery. you simply cannot stop anyone from modding even completely subpar or top tier bikes from going over the limit. which is limited by the batteries power, and motor/controllers ability to hold a charge. to even try doing so would require powers that reach way into other markets. caps on capacitors, batteries, PCB board controls, motors, etc.

Yeah, like it was easy to mod a moped to go beyond the speed limit (45Km/h in Italy), but it was still illegal.

this isnt about bikes. its about brown people and visible minorities riding them en mass and europeans wanting to bring the hammer down on them so they are forced to buy cars, use public transit,become more susceptible to random checks by police, and/or be kicked out of the country for breaking a new law. as well as finding a new way to limit or regulate other related electronics markets, and milk them for more money.

Or, maybe, is about closing a loophole that allow people to drive bikes more powerfull than the one that need a driver's license without a driver's license. Are brown people excluded from obtaining a driver's license in Amsterdam ? No, so they can simple get a driver's license like everyone else.Not everything is about races even if you think so.

we can all lie to another and say its not due to xenophobia, racism, or general support for luxuries such as cars and public transit, and the taxation and fees that come with them, and i dare say a police state. but at the end of the day this is just another way for governments and corporations to use fear to impliment more control over emerging technologies and markets. especially on human mobility.

It is about following the traffic regulations. I agree that the ebikes were a nice idea when the electric side of the it was really just just a little help but now, honestly, what I see are ebikes that are more powerfull of the moped for which you need the license.

in a world where we can drive a death wagon at 150+ kmph that virtually guarantees death or significant injury for passengers and anyone it comes into contact with. which also drastically pollutes the environement in comparison, we should limiting cars not dinky ebikes from temu that poor people and immigrants prefer to ride. if anything we should be pushing more people into riding bikes of all types.

Yeah, only difference is that the death wagon at 150 Km/h is not driven on the sidewalk and you need e license to drive it.

its a dumb idea. and anyone who disagrees is at the very least grossly misinformed on the wider issues, i dont blame them, just the media thats controlled by people who like to control people.

no offense. im not writing this in anger to you, or anyone in particular, its purely based on my experience as a person who had made a point of riding bikes in spite of owning vehicles, simply because of the glaringly obvious issues that are caused by cars, and that are answered by bikes/ebikes.

So, why is it a problem to ask to follow the laws ? You can ride a bike, it is not a problem, but you need to follow the rules.

This feels like a typical topic that the city should determine independently of the government.

Maybe, but the point here is that the City did it the wrong way.The main problem, it seems, is that the limit is applied to all the roads (about 64% of the total) and not, as the law mandate, to specific roads/streets that meet certain requirements.

Most of EU countries has some sort of electronic identification system (in Italy SPID and CIE). You can simply ask to validate against it when creating an account and then you are good. You are verified and there is no dato to be leaked aside the data you decide to put into the system.

Did he touch a raw nerve ?

Who is this serving at this point?

To Putin to stay in power

There are a lot of reasons that wouldn’t fly in the US:

I don't think that Dacia target market are the US

Bold of him to think to be still in power in 14/16 years...

Yes, they are willing to do it but probably only up to a point, I don't see them to accept so easily to lose their biggest market basically overnight.

And once lost, I don't really think they can get back

Good luck to them, it’s easier for them to make demands since they don’t make the decisions.

We don't need to sanction US, we just need to close the loopholes that allow the US tech to not pay taxes in EU. As simple as that.

As Italian, I can say the most of us like to hate EU for the Lira/Euro exchange because it is easier to blame someone else than admitting that most of us tried to fuck up their connationals.

A lot of people would be convinced to be against it by the same people who supported Trump: his billionaire friends. Do you really think that if this joke of a president start a war against EU (and, as sidenote, against NATO) services from Meta, MS and all the other American tech companies would continue as is ? Who do you think will be hit in the pocket ?

Back at the time I used Mailman, it have a web interface and it should be easy enough to install on every distro. For example, KDE's mailing lists are handled with it

Start with a email list and then try to get together in a pub or somthing like this on a regular basis.

If the LUG gains ground begin to look to some place where you can get together and eventually keep some hardware.If possible, once the LUG has some regulars, look into joning some events, maybe as guest at a booth

Correction: Google backs everyone who let them to do what they want, they don't really care if they are fascist or pedos as long as they don't interfere with their money making machine

Yeah, me too. But home automation has its usercase: just think about an holiday home where you want to turn on the heating and the boiler the day before you arrive.Sure, you can ask a local friend to do it for you but being able to do it remotely is nice.

Millions of flats that are private properties, and people could do whatever they want with them.

But the assumption is that once AirBnb and the likes are regulated and somehow people could not short rent all these houses, they will be available in the long rent market. And that assumption is all but true.

Italy has about 30% of empty houses (and by empty I mean they are not even on the short term rental market) even with AirBnb around. And the reason is that is hard to get rid of a bad tenant once you rented the house, so people prefer to put houses on AirBnb or just keep them emply and take the temporary loss.

Sure, AirBnb let you make more money but the untold truth is that if you put an house on AirBnb you can have it back as soon as you decide it by just stop listing it. On a long term rent you need to wait months, if not years, and only if you have a good tenants, if you have bad tenants good luck.

They will clampdown on short terms rental only to end with a lot of empty houses. AirBnb and the like are only the wrong answer to a problem, not the problem themself

And just out of plain stupidity they’ve decided to reject the overwhelming consensus of US foreign policy for decades?

Obviously. They are stupid, they cannot understand, or don't care about, the consequences of their actions.

Colour me sceptical. Where do the stupid people get those ideas from?

These ideas were always there, they think they are special. It is just that this time they elected the worst people possible.
