  • What are some of the craziest censorship instances on TV shows you have seen?

  • It's just different values. I could ask the same about the US and nudity. In German media, blood and violence is fine, but it's considered a topic that you need to be able to handle, so you need to have a certain age, depending on how gruesome that is.

    Tbh, I'm European and therefore biased, but the way the united states have no problem with people harming other in media but being offended by something like "bodies" or "sex" does seem a little weird. Like, if my kids normalised harming others I'd be much more concerned than if they normalised making love.

  • Same here. Just with three kids added to the mix so I don't even really have that "downtime that I'd like to use for hobbies but do use to rest" anymore.

  • I'm well aware that rail/wheel tech works well. However

    It would be cheaper

    is not true. High speed rail is precision engineering and what you gain from the reduced complexity of not having magnets on the rails is lost by the required precision to make trains as fast as you claim them to be. The cost for a Transrapid line was claimed to be pretty much on par with an ICE line, with trains carrying fewer people but on a higher frequency, so even that would have evened out. The advantage you claim, which is compatibility to existing rail networks, can be regarded as a disadvantage, too, as high speed trains suddenly compete for the same limited resource as all other trains in the network and are sometimes travelling quite slowly as they utilise the same, old rails because the pain of using the old network isn't big enough to make people build new high speed infrastructure. Add to that the issue of too many stops that are added for political reasons and high speed trains suddenly become less and less of a competitive player when it comes to international traffic. If there was another network that would simply be incompatible to existing ones, a lot of these issues wouldn't even arise. A Transrapid just wouldn't stop in Erkelenz, Züssow or Altenbeken and no overly confident mayor could even suggest it, simply because there wouldn't be the infrastructure. And that would be a good thing.

    Also, the speed comparison is not that simple. You're comparing wheeled trains that took decades to evolve with the first generation of maglev trains and as far as I see, that's also the highest speed recorded, which isn't what they're allowed to do during regular operations. I highly doubt that there's no room for improvement to get faster for maglevs.

    All that said, I'm well aware that "the train has passed". Europe uses wheels and I'm fine with that. I don't want to sound overly negative and I'm happy for every cm of rail that's built. It's just that high speed rail needs to up its game a bit if they want to compete with planes. Right now, they're still too slow. Next week I'll be in Italy for a conference... High speed trains would have taken 4 to 5 times as much time, so I ended up getting a plane ticket booked. That's a pity and had we built a maglev infrastructure 20 years ago, maybe it would have been better by now.

  • Guess what, I am a taxpayer and you can't tell me what I "really don't" want. Do you think i have come here from the stone age to not know that infrastructure and services cost money?

  • If you're running a public service, you should have a key that's trusted by a CA anyway. So why couldn't you, especially for qr codes that link to an https site, embed a signature in that qr code that verifies that the person that owns parkyourcar.com's private key also created the code you just scanned? Just like signed pdfs?
