Finally built a todo app tailored to how I work. The fact that it’s also the coolest is just a coincidence.

How Chat Control Passed

@levelsio This is especially true in Latin cultures where we associate being fed with love.

Over half of fights with my girlfriend are solved by feeding her

🇵🇹 Carta aberta ao Governo de Portugal @LMontenegroPSD @Leitao_Amaro @miguelluz Senhor Primeiro-Ministro Luís Montenegro, Senhor Ministro António Leitão Amaro, Senhor Ministro Miguel Pinto Luz, Escrevo como alguém que escolheu Portugal para viver. Tenho um pedido simples: tragam o Tesla FSD (Supervised) para Portugal. A 10 de abril, os Países Baixos foram o primeiro país europeu a aprovar o sistema, depois de 18 meses de testes independentes da autoridade RDW. Em dois meses, a Lituânia, a Estónia, a Dinamarca e a Bélgica seguiram o exemplo. Nenhum destes países repetiu os testes. Reconheceram a homologação neerlandesa ao abrigo do quadro europeu (UN R-171) e aprovaram com base nos dados que já existem. Os resultados falam por si: nos Países Baixos, cerca de 40.000 Teslas já percorreram 24 milhões de quilómetros sem incidentes relevantes, segundo a própria RDW. Os carros com FSD registaram 3,5 vezes menos colisões do que a condução manual. E é aqui que isto deixa de ser sobre tecnologia e passa a ser sobre vidas. Só este ano já morreram mais de 220 pessoas nas estradas portuguesas, mais 25% do que no ano passado. Portugal está acima da média europeia na mortalidade rodoviária. A ANSR diz que as principais causas são humanas: velocidade, álcool, distração. Um sistema que nunca se distrai, nunca bebe e nunca adormece evita mortes que vão acontecer com condutores humanos. O próprio Governo chamou à sinistralidade uma chaga social. Esta é uma forma concreta de a combater. Portugal pode fazer o mesmo que a Dinamarca e a Bélgica: o IMT analisa o dossier da RDW e aprova. Não custa nada ao Estado e coloca Portugal à frente da Alemanha, da França e da Espanha. Há 500 anos, Portugal liderou o mundo numa nova tecnologia: a navegação. Partiu à frente de todos e deu novos mundos ao mundo. Portugal pode voltar a estar na fronteira de uma nova tecnologia e liderar como fez há 500 anos. Cada mês de espera custa vidas. Basta decidir. Com admiração e respeito, -@levelsio

Once typical of banana republics, such tricks are now used by the EU to pass surveillance laws.

@TomHibbins @samuel_leeds @DanNeidle There is nothing governments love more than seeing their people fighting over who should pay more. Normies.

@samuel_leeds @DanNeidle All these cucks will fight against taxing the richest, whilst their total wealth and assets grow at an exponential rate, more than twice the rate of growth annually. What could possibly go wrong.

Gary Economics has just ruined its credibility and proven that it clearly knows very little about economics. The absolute tax legend @DanNeidle destroyed Gary in his own documentary. The very documentary just a compilation of Gary being proven wrong time and time again about his "solution" to economic inequality. Let me know if you have watched it. The Dan Neidle debate has gotta be one of the best moments in the show!! #garystevenson @Channel4 @garyseconomics

@miguelgbandeira Too early to say for me.

@ruibeep how big is the difference?

so which one should i use?

There is something incoherent about a regulatory culture that treats cookie consent as a sacred privacy ritual, while making room for broad scanning of private communication.

Today is a dark day for freedom and democracy in Europe. General chat surveillance has been implemented in Brussels. A disgrace. The so-called Chat Control 1.0 cleared a crucial hurdle in the European Parliament today. This means platforms may once again be allowed to scan private messages, officially on a “voluntary” basis, but in practice this marks the return of indiscriminate monitoring of private communication. What makes this especially bitter is that a majority of the MEPs who voted were reportedly against it. According to Patrick Breyer, 314 MEPs voted against the regulation, 276 voted in favor and 17 abstained. And yet the rejection failed because it was not enough to have a simple majority of those voting. An absolute majority of all MEPs would have been required. That is the democratic scandal. When a majority of those present votes against a proposal and it still passes because a formal threshold is not reached, it does not feel like democratic decision-making to many citizens. It feels like a procedural trick. And it becomes even more problematic when you look at the context: Chat Control had already been rejected before. Yet the issue was put back on the agenda shortly before the summer break, through an urgent procedure, at a time when absences could become decisive. This is not just some technical regulation. It goes to the very core of private communication. It is about whether digital messages remain fundamentally private or whether platforms may systematically scan content again, without concrete suspicion, without a court order and without any individual cause. A free society must not turn private communication into a potential surveillance zone. Anyone who takes digital fundamental rights seriously cannot accept millions of innocent people being placed under general suspicion. Today, a dangerous signal was sent: fundamental rights can be hollowed out through procedural logic, timing and political tricks. Not through an open, clear and honest majority, but through a system in which absence effectively helps the supporters. This is a dark day for Europe. Not because the fight is over, but because today showed how easily digital fundamental rights come under pressure when surveillance logic, symbolic politics and institutional tricks come together. Anyone who wants a free internet, anyone who wants to protect private communication and anyone who takes democracy seriously should talk about this. Share this issue. Inform yourself. Look at who voted how. And never forget: freedom rarely disappears all at once. It disappears step by step, often in technical details, often in complicated procedures and often exactly when too few people are watching.

For most of the seventeenth century, Amsterdam kept catching fire. It was the richest city on earth, which meant its houses were stuffed with curtains and furnishings and its warehouses with tar, hemp, rope, sugar and spices. Then, in the 1680s, the city government beat fire almost completely. From 1682 to 1687, fire losses were under one percent of what they had been in the twelve years before. worksinprogress.co/issue/how-amst… Part of the credit belongs to a new fire engine. In 1672, the painter Jan van der Heyden designed a much better machine, with a leather suction hose, the first long, flexible delivery hose, and an air chamber that produced a continuous, high-pressure stream. But the real story is one of better institutions. In 1681, the city's merchant government passed new firefighting regulations. These professionalized some aspects of the service, establishing district companies consisting of thirty-six conscripted residents under two fire master and a network of professional trumpeters who sat in towers and sounded the alarm. The regulations created new incentives: under the new rules, lamplighters who reported fires and the first three fire companies to arrive at a blaze received cash prizes, while watchmen who failed to notify firefighters and homeowners who fought a fire themselves before raising the alarm were given fines. Amsterdam's citizens were known throughout Europe for gladly paying high taxes, and encouraging a culture of 'useful invention'. In the case of firefighting, they certainly got their money’s worth.
