No one is installing public toilets. The few we have are installed by the city and not local business, why would they?
So that it doesn't smell like human waste when you sit at a table in front of your patisserie.
And if you are really in server need, at late night, when pubs are closed: there is always a tree, even in big cities.

We, as a civilization, should be discouraging any technology that lowers the cost of energy fuels producing IR filtering gases that linger in the atmosphere. Especially techniques with other harmful side-effects as environmental groups pointed out in Germany.
Instead, offering incentives in research and development of lower cost energy alternatives or techniques that prevent greenhouse gases from entering the atmosphere.
We are offering an incentive:
"YOU produce lower cost energy alternatives or techniques that prevent greenhouse gases from entering the atmosphere, or WE will continue to produce greenhouse gasses; YOU want alternatives? YOU pay for them."
Greenhouse gasses themselves encourage such solutions.

Wait... why do these cards have a "good mode" and a "shitty mode" in the first place, and why is the shitty one called "gaming mode"?
I'm going to guess that for power and thermal reasons that die yield of the chips support a performance envelope range, where one cards "good mode" can never be relied upon to be the same as another cards "good mode", but based on minimum burn in acceptance criteria, all cards are capable of operating in "shitty mode".
And further: that at the bottom of the barrel, "good mode" asymptotically approaches "shitty mode".
The fix would therefore seem to be: disallow overclocking.
(now listen to the gamers scream louder than they were screaming about "overclocked by default" in the original article...)
Are you insane? Trump has shown that if anything he will be the worst president in decades with regards to executive power. He has outright bemoaned that he can't eliminate journalists he deems "unfair" thus implicitly advocating censorship or worse against a free press. Claimed he will build a wall and demand that a sovereign foreign country and ally would pay for it.
I'm pretty sure you'd support a wall if there were solar cells on top of it. It'd totally power the entire U.S.
I would like to know if you have a c21 ch53. So if I can tell whether you will have cancer or not. And then discriminate against you, So as to be an ass. You know, just because I can knowledgeably say you have a 73% chance of getting cancer. Because I happen to know that.
(I know Americans like their guns. But guns -- especially guns in the hands of violent, disturbed people -- are the problem. More guns is not the solution).
And, forgive me for saying so, but any law, including the American constitution, that is open to such massive abuse as "the right to bear arms" is, is just plain wrong and should be changed.
It's not a law, it's an acknowledgement of an inalienable right, and it only spells that you to prevent the government from restricting it, so that should the government become non-representative, as it was in 1776, we have the ability to overthrow it again.
We have a perfect right to peaceably assemble and hold a constitutional convention, again, if we want, and replace the entire framework with a monarchy. And we have a right to shoot the bastards, should the necessary supermajority decide to do this, and the current government became alarmed and deploys the military against its own citizens in order to prevent their losing power.
This is not an "abuse", it's a fundamental part of the national origin, and the system of checks and balances put in place to prevent a second oppressive, non-representative regime from gaining power.
And yes: I'm well aware that the British have never acknowledged that their regime in "the colonies" was in any way oppressive or non-representative, since the Divine Right Of Kings mean that kings are ordained by God.
What would help us a less violent surrounding, i.e. less guns. In case of Orlando , the guy was mentally I'll and violent. He should have been in treatment, but in the US you do not send the mentally ill to proper institutions (at least not right away).
(1) The guy travelled to Orlando to perform the shooting
(2) The guy's family had left him because he was a wife beater, prone to violence
(3) He then got a job that required him to be armed (security guard), and gave him lots of time to brood
(4) The guy was questioned about other terrorist incidents by the FBI; so there was already a connection there
(5) The guy called in a 911 call dedicating himself to an ISIS leader after it was too late to stop the shooting happening
(6) We have several supreme court decisions that allow mentally ill people to refuse treatment, and, without an imminent threat, they have to be cut loose in 72 hours in order to protect their right to be mentally ill and unmedicated
The guy was a powder keg with a lit fuse; something set him off; while the most recent two guns he bought were legally obtained (waiting list and all), a bell should have rung at the FBI when the background check happened; probably on the first gun, or at least on the second.
It's pretty clear they have no cumulative scoring system in place, which would have flagged him for a visit.
Gun control is enforced everywhere in Europe, and we have a rate of mass shooting which is 10% of what you have guys.
You don't have significant ethnic enclaves (well, until recently) that are large enough they can be insular from other ethnicities, without an international border being there.
You also don't have historically based ethnic and racial economic disparity, many times enforced by economic and racial self segregation.
That was a recent piece in the New York Times Magazine, about racial segregation of schools by regions within Brooklyn, which is largely self-imposed ("we want to live in NYC for no good reason") and economically imposed ("but we can only afford to live in this economically depressed area").
Europe is just starting to have large scale emergent problems of the type that the U.S. has had for about 150 year (or 240 years, if you count Native Americans, or over 4 centuries, if you count the pre-constitutional United States as "the U.S.").
Welcome to our world. Strap yourselves in, Europe: it's going to be a bumpy ride.
Gun control stops mass shootings. Plain and simple. Technology can't do it alone.
Better add machine shop control into the mix, then. Because it's relatively easy to turn out a gun in any halfway decently equipped machine shop. You should visit the Remington Arms museum some time, and see the primitive equipment that was used to create some of the first semiautomatic and automatic weapons: foot operated lathes with stone flywheels, for one...
It's woefully ignorant to blame all religion for a few nutjobs and murderous assholes. Please show that you're intelligent enough to distinguish between different religious beliefs.
Isn't that rather the problem? People distinguishing between religious beliefs, and then becoming violent over it?
But the IMEI's are not necessarily statically inventoried, either.
Apple probably knows precisely which IMEIs were sent to which stores.
Apple knows when a pallet is sent to a regional distribution warehouse in a region. The pallet is then broken up and sent to the stores. Which set goes to which store is usually unknown, but discoverable by range; assuming the boxes from the broken down pallet were stacked out sequentially. Which they usually would likely not be.
You seem to think they have more electronic automation than they actually have. They didn't even have badge based access to their stockroom, in this case.
Even so, assuming it were possible (which it would be, through a heck of a lot of work), you're only going to screw the people who paid the thieves money for the iPhone, assuming you could blacklist the IMEI's. And like I said, the individual iPhones, if they aren't just being used for parts, are going to have been "washed" through another retailer, so you'll just be doubly indirectly screwing a lot of people who are not the thieves.
Do they not have serial / IMEI numbers and can block the phones? This would eliminate a fair proportion of lost sales.
No, all the thieves have to do is swap them out with another set of boxes some place out. But the IMEI's are not necessarily statically inventoried, either. Meaning they'd have to do an audit of all iPhones sold or in stock in a given area, and it's hard to do that in real time.

Two words:
Ban. Guns.
Problem solved. You are welcome.
(I know Americans like their guns. But guns -- especially guns in the hands of violent, disturbed people -- are the problem. More guns is not the solution).
Or we could just ban violent, disturbed people.
And, forgive me for saying so, but any law, including the American constitution, that is open to such massive abuse as "the right to bear arms" is, is just plain wrong and should be changed.

This was pretty genius!
I guess that's why they let them past the "Genius Bar" and into the back area.
You'd think there would have been a badge reader, though...
