The original had a top speed of 40 mph and its only security feature was prayers.

True, but think about the reverse: being able to flag a strava user as being part of the french navy can be valuable too

Weird to see Paris just under 20Mbps, the whole city is covered with fiber

For the football games, they turned on the encryption shortly after the game started. This created the expression "but en clair" ("unencrypted goal") where a team would score so early that the encryption was still off.

>300 to 800 factories yearly closed their doors in France since the introduction of the Euro.

Have you got a source on that? The data I can find [1] says 600 total have closed between 2009 and 2018.

New comment by Totoradio in "Jeff Bezos's phone 'hacked by Saudi crown prince'"

If you're thinking of a private actor, I think that once you have access to MBS phone, you run to Doha before attacking Bezos. Qatar would pay a ton of money for that access.

If you're thinking of a state actor except Saudi Arabia, I think there would be much easier and more discreet vectors to Jeff Bezos Whatsapp than MBS phone (literally almost any of Bezos other contacts would be less risky).

YMMV I guess. I'm in France too and none of those points apply to my experience (except the monthly fee for the debit card and the snail mail for the new PIN). I have not set foot in my physical branch in 10 years, and have not written a paper check since 2011.

Far left would be anarchists, black-blocs, and a few communists in there too.

Far right would be openly pro-nazi, or Vichy nostalgic small organizations like Oeuvre Française and other dissolved and then formed again groups. Add unaffiliated fascist skinheads in the mix.

Then again, almost every nuance of the spectrum between those two is represented in the protesters.

It's very complicated to explain because it's not a "traditional" movement run by a leader/political party/union. Protesters are all over the political spectrum.

It's the combination of (real and/or perceived):

- rise of inequalities

- new taxes (including the carbon tax)

- removal of taxes impacting only the rich

- sentiment of neglect of the rural areas by the government

- disdain for lower classes by Macron

- lower purchasing power for low/middle class

and probably some other stuff. It's really an aggregation of all that. Add the fact that there is no leader, no precise demands, this makes a nightmare for the government to fix or contain.

The UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights disagrees:
