Ah OK, just found

Napster was the original peer-to-peer platform and drew heat from the recording industry. Artists like Dr. Dre, Eminem, Metallica, and plenty more spoke out against the platform.

(I do know Napster, but didn’t know they had spoken out against it. Ah well.)

Wait, what did Metallica, Dre and Eminem do?

Yes, I am not arguing that street design doesn’t matter, and I’m not arguing that speed limits are always adhered to. All I’m saying is that none of those clips say that speeds limits do not matter at all. Usually they’ll say that they need to be combined with traffic calming measures like bends, roads, and cobblestones.

I think you’d be hard-pressed to find research that looked at a real-life situation where speed-limiting measures were taken without a low speed limit being applied.

It’s not either/or. Those videos say that street design is important (i.e. if you make a wide and long stretch of asphalt, you can set a limit of 30 km/h, but nobody’s going to stick to it), but they don’t say that you can make a winding, cobble-stoned street lined with trees, and then put the speed limit at 100 km/h.

And as the article says, doing both is exactly what Helsinki did.

Not just implied:

Helsinki decided to lower speed limits near schools to 30 km/h, a measure that is set to take effect as the academic year begins. (…) Street design has also played a key role.

Fair, but we’re only getting more off topic :)

That makes sense, thanks!

For context: that’s the The Hague invasion act, which basically says that the US president doesn’t have to ask US congress for approval to invade the Netherlands if the ICC prosecutes US government employees.

Of course, that has nothing to do with caring about the reliability of your information and looking for sources.

See https://feddit.org/comment/8020018

It’s not saying that Israel might launch an operation in the Netherlands, just that it’s trying to influence public opinion and to interfere in the operations of the ICC and ICJ (in the sense that US sanctions did).

Ah, thanks! So it was the AIVD, not the NCTV, I was just looking in the wrong place :)

This tracks, although “designates a threat” sounds like a bigger deal than highlighting these two widely-reported actions, i.e. I understand why this didn’t make the news here. It certainly doesn’t signify a sudden change in Dutch policy vis a vis Israel.

As a Dutch person, I don’t know this source or the one it’s referring to, and I can’t find the report on the NCTV’s own website, even when I search for the mentioned name (I can only find one from 2022, that doesn’t seem to mention Israel).

From the release notes:

one of the last breaking changes we want to make before reaching the stable release milestone

So you’ll probably want to wait until they do a stable release.

It’s weird, too - I think these just got removed from the desktop Firefox new tab? Why would it then be added to Android at about the same time?

Yeah hence the “mostly” - travelling to/from the UK is a similar hassle. Really not the direction I’m hoping train travel to move in…

Let’s hope trains will remain (mostly) security check-free.

Ideally arguments for who should be allowed to vote are independent of what they vote for. If you just want to ensure a specific outcome, there are far more efficient means than elections.

I can imagine part of the reasoning there being that we need to keep a clean slate there to be able to raise levies on state-subsidised products coming from (mostly) China without attracting massive counter-levies.

No browser uses a different engine yet (presumably because Apple only allows them to offer this in the EU, under draconian conditions).
