This moves the problem though.

In the original example, RCD/circuit protection is regulated on the _property_ side, e.g UK has EICR for electrical install. Once its done for a property, its good until next inspection (in theory)

This moves the protection to the _appliance_ , which while it needs to meet certification, is much harder to police a consumer electronic device, than a physical unmovable premise.

I think these are great, but there will inevitably be devices that don't implement the spec correctly that still get sold to willful or unwillful consumers that result in danger to everyone.

Yes, much like how they've regulated delivery drivers. The person listed on the app is definitely the one that delivers, very effective.

I detest the concept that we need yet another "law" before we can actual enforce anything. There are plenty of laws being broken already, we should go and prosecute them before we start making up new ones to ignore.

(London perspective), I've intervened from tourists getting scammed before from these guys, and they get violent very quickly. Especially fun because they have their gang all around.

Unlicensed, unmaintained, motorized vehicles on pedestrian paths, a miracle no one has been killed yet.

It's kind of insane, and is a microcosm of the UK's inability to do anything.

- Everyone hates them, from residents, to businesses, to the tourists that get harassed by them.

- There are multiple laws, that if the police wanted to, they could enforce at any time.

- Nothing gets done.

It is an impressive level of apathy from an already toothless government.

Well, at least something good came out of this incident.

Perfect.

As well as the childcare benefit removal others have mentioned, you also begin losing your "tax free allowance".

The marginal tax rate for 100k -> 125k is 60% (due to losing the ~£12k tax free allowance)

  "Your personal allowance goes down by £1 for every £2 that your adjusted net income is above £100,000. This means your allowance is zero if your income is £125,140 or above."

3 people is insanely lean for something that looks this polished.

Try and maintain that for as long as you can.

Bit of a facetious response and not in the spirit on HN, but you absolutely nailed the choice of noun with MRI machine, lol. Perfect.

Hitler is currently rank 1, so, that's an interesting application of Godwin's Law

> Quick Google searches reveal that Reddit has something between 0.5 and 1.5 billion monthly users

Not disagree-ing with your points, but do you have a source for this? It doesn't pass the sniff test to me.

1.5B people is ~ 20% of the world population, and probably closer to 50% of those with computers & internet capable of downloading reddit.com, an image heavy forum.

I'm in the demographic for Reddit (30s, male, western country), and I think maybe 10% of my friends, family & coworkers even know what Reddit is, let along are an MAU.

This is misinformation. Maybe you've had this situation/contract, but that is very much not the norm.

Heaping on the praise, use this tool every day, for years, on every mac I've had. Best 15 quid spent

If you have the physical hardware, there will be people able to produce their own firmware that disables built in filtering, or at least, disables the internet connecting that reports said filtering. You'll have a server that is disconnected from the internet with all your DRM free content.

They would have to outlaw personal computing, and not allow you to build your own servers with no firmware-enforced filtering, which given the current direction, is not particularly farfetched, but at that point battle is lost anyway and your DVD rips are the least of your problems.
