Re: Flat Mars-ers
You people are so gullible. It's the same reason the Moon has a dark side.
The side we can see, and the other side, just like looking at a coin....and coins, they are flat. FACT!

"People who do not have one are most often very old people who are not likely out in the street."
I take it you haven't been out much?
I'd say about 75% of the people shopping in supermarkets, gift shops or just visiting nice areas are pensioners.
Are they so blinded by their "science", they become utterly detached from common sense.
Next some university will be telling us it can predict pre-crime by the way someone looks...oh wait.

Yeah to hard. Just not even bother.
How about all those in cities?
Or the one's on the main roads?
Or maybe just make them automatically liable for an accident at night. If not wearing a helmet and suffer a head injury, then no insurance pay out.
This isn't an anti-cycling rant (hence my suggestion about making e-bikes legal). But making sure people take responsibility.
Why bother with these death traps. Wouldn't it make more sense to bring e-bike rules in line with most of Europe e.g. speed limits and twist and go operation.
Oh and enforce existing laws such as bloody lights. No lights at night. Take the bloody bike off them and make them walk home.
Also, make helmets compulsory.
If your provider charges for Let's Encrypt, move provider.
I'm with TSO host, formally something else and before that something again and no part of Go Daddy, and they do it for free. It' about 5 clicks to set up.
Oh and then you can always sign up, for free, to Cloudflare, and use their free service.
Many here have said "Don't change it', but for example, a port scan then logging in with a default IoT piece of crap could, in theory, get you arrested. So do you contact HappyLuckyDevicesMakeYouExcellelent to tell them you intend to check for security holes?
And if they say " No", do you leave that heap of crap just sitting out there being used as a botnet?
On the flip side, if you say it's ok to login and check, the bad guys can say "Hey we were looking for security holes. No intention of doing anything bad'.
It's not a case of yes or no.
They are not Taxi's in the UK sense. You get get into a taxi anyway and pay a fixed rate.
They really are minicabs. The ride is booked and price (should) be roughly agreed in advance. So they should be licenced as such.
As for employed / self employed, The way I look at it, if they are free to swap "employers" at will, then I would of thought they could be classed as self employed. However, if there is non-compete clauses, or you are penalised for not working for them, then they are employed.
Let's take a famous leftie commute I know of.
He was born to an unmarried couple who lived together. However, she became pregnant by another man. He was born a bastard child.
Not much is known of his early childhood, but he grew up tall and proud.
He fought for people's rights, even rioting and smashing up peoples shops, causing criminal damage, something that put him on the wrong side of the law.
He once went off to be alone, to find himself, before returning and spending the rest of his life in close company with a group of unmarried men and a prostitute.
Sadly, for all the crimes he committed against the state, a reward was offered and he was sold out by one of his friends to the state police.
He was executed, still standing up for the social rights and freedoms he believed in.
Just can't remember his name.
