    I've always had the impression that images are underutilized in Factor, or not needed, compared to Smalltalk for example. At least their size will now be more manageable.

    Same default settings in France, although your organs can only be used for transplant. Using them for teaching and practicing in medical school still needs your explicit (prior) consent.

    Except that if people are chosen randomly there is 2/3 chance that you are on the main track according to Bayes. Let's assume there are 10 people.

    The probability to be chosen is 1/6 (all are chosen if 6 is rolled) + (5/6) × (1/10) (only one is chosen to go to the side track if 1-5 is rolled) = 15/60 = 1/4.

    The probability that you are on the side track knowing that you have been chosen is the probability that you have been chosen knowing that the side track is selected (1/10) × the probability that the side track is selected (5/6) divided by the probability for you to be selected at all (1/4), so (1/10)×(5/6)/(1/4) = 20/60 = 1/3. So there is a 2/3 chance that you are on the main track.

    If you do not flip the switch, (2/3)×10 = 20/3 people die.

    If you flip the switch, 1/3 (you if on side track) + 10 × 2/3 × 9 / 10 (switch misfires 9 out of 10 times if on the main track) = 190/30 = 19/3 die. This is slightly better than not flipping the switch, you save 1/3 people more. That's an arm and a leg.

    Still the case in France, although you can upgrade your "automatic-only" driving license to a regular one by following an additional 7 hour course.

    Glad to see this resolved in the best way possible. This may also lead to better package scrutiny in the future.

    Well, if you use a password manager such as bitwarden you can store your 2FA one ctrl-v away. Even if this is a less secure setup, that still prevents someone eavesdropping on your password from reusing it.

    How about we stop at obviously malicious attempts of incitement to intercultural hate and violence?

    Is such an incitement not an offense in Sweden already? I know it is in France for example.
