"The complexities of this case is above and beyond what sometimes you can take through [the courts] and we've got limited actions as a council,"

The only answer is they're too incompetent. He means to say, either the council laws themselves that they create, has too many loopholes like the ambiguous 2008 relaxation, or they aren't equipped to enforce the laws they have. In other words if you bully them, they'll fold since they're not competent to stand up.

I heard while in mining that breaches of dust and noise result in fines that act more like a relaxation cost when price of coal is high enough.

At some point a law is more like a purchase price for the wealthy when a final sales value of a home could result surpass 5 mill and the "relaxation" fine is only $50k.

The wealthy value time. Time is an equaliser. Put them in jail. 6 months for every tree past the 5 that might have been allowed in 2008.

The council said it was too complex for them and somehow there was no mention of incompetence in the article.

I prefer a really well told story over a pick your own adventure. Character flaws, growth, emotional connections and situational realities are all able to be masterfully written when in control. But if you can't write well, just make an interesting playground and leave it up to the player and blame them for a boring game. :)

People like to conflate two problems together.

Lots of Australia is small and far away from metropolis.

Lots of metropolis could happily exist with wonderful multi modal transport options like trains bus bike and walking.

Between the two, cars grant autonomy outside public planning for individuals to still be individuals to get between families and economy between remote to remote and metro to remote even when there's no feasible public transport.

The devil in the detail is the problem at it always is anything when you look into it.

Yes there's big opportunity to improve mass transit. Yes there's a place for long range individual and small scale transit. Yes there's a place for last mile delivery.

But the average Joe doesn't really and shouldn't really need to know, or care. Why does it take a nation, that is every individual, to understand and vote for what is nuanced and specific? Why can't bold moves be made and results be explained?

Anyway that's enough drunk reply

First party sites are how my credit card gets leaked every single time. The incompetence is thorough at every level.

My personal trick is even in my own country to get new travel credit cards regularly. The first one I got was scammed on my first booking. I alerted the hotel and they said it couldn't possibly be them. They're the only company that ever got those details it can only be them.

I'm not an expert, but it sounds like if you finish a session of valorant, the anti cheat never unloads and continues to monitor memory and files.

Easy Anticheat though, according so some sources, only runs during game play.

Riots Anticheat has a bad history though. But both essentially are black boxes that send details both hash and samples back to their owners for them to approve what's on it computer. Opened a medical record? It's probably been hashed and sent back.

Opened your employers accounting files when working from home? details you probably sent riot a copy.

Both can be updated. There's no guarantees that riot won't do something nasty against a portion of high value targets. They know you from your payment details. They can identify, update the module and get anything they like, they have root.

Anticheat has a history of being a tool for hackers. https://www.vice.com/en/article/hackers-are-using-anti-cheat-in-genshin-impact-to-ransom-victims/

There's no upside for the user. Mostly because they don't work anyway.

Just compile your kernel with the anti cheat flags and telemetry enabled from source.

I guess that's your loss

I guess chip makers would stop doing open source development? The community should reverse engineer everything like the Apple m series chips?

George isn't throwing shade. This is only a possibility for why their last stint was so disastrous. What changed? They overcooked the plank wear and to avoid disqualification they raised ride height and slowed top speed. It's not throwing shade, it's how George suddenly could catch and have several overtake opportunities. It's not like suddenly Leclerc got slow or George got fast. The car changed.

In the last stint Leclerc was corrective steering based on input telemetry in corners more while going slower. It's rationale to suggest less downforce. Lastly there's only two things they can change at pit stops, tyres and front wing. Nothing else legally or time wise can be changed. It's unfathomable to think they'd change the front wing on the race leading car. But ride height seems plausible, via more air in the tyres.

In other words George is likely right in his attempt to explain his sudden speed delta compared to leclerc.

Edit: Personally I bet the high pressure tyre was desperate if that's the case. High pressure tyres make less contact with the road and decrease grip. So whatever fraction of height they gained they no doubt lost not just downforce from height but lateral traction capability in the tyre itself.

Stretched limousines exist by this very method. I'm Australian but the concept wasn't started here. https://www.belle.net.au/building-a-stretch-limousine/

Edit:

We do know of limousines that have been shipped back to the USA for failing to meet Australian standards.

I'd say it's easier in many American states.

Robotics OS, more like a subsystem to fit controlling sensors and motors
