An intro to the world of auditing Rust code
@ekuber as far as I'm aware it is more of a political convention than a legal/constitutional imperative.
The prime minister and various cabinet ministers resigning would likely be considered within norms and not involve the dissolution of parliament and therefore not trigger a general election.
@neil yes in the context of desktop business phones it is very unlikely that anyone would actually try them for emergency calls. However there are plenty of places in offices and industrial facilities where the mobile phone reception is insufficient.
You don't have that kind of outage without having structural and cultural issues.
I'd just prefer regulators to take actions that are likely to result in the underlying issues being resolved rather than making some directors drive the same car for another year.
@neil disproportionate? they are a communications operator who had a 10 day outage affecting the most critical communications that traverse their network resulting in a tangible risk to human life.
I have reservations about the concept of financial penalties actually resolving the operational issues in question. If they weren't taking their job seriously before they aren't going to start over a fine that can realistically be recouped with some cost cutting measures.
@neil 700k for that kind of outage seems less chunky and more like a slap on the wrists. Would ofcom be able to issue an ultimatum along the lines of "show us significant improvement in your operational practices or we will revoke your license to operate"?
@GossiTheDog I particularly like the political commentators who seem to think this is a uniquely British problem signalling the demise of common decency and the breakdown of society.
@seabass @eunews business premier literal offers fast track security. There is a special short queue and from experience the personnel are even more YOLO.
I'd argue based on the existence of longer train tunnels that don't have airport style security that it really isn't required but the British are special.
@seabass @eunews I sometimes use the sleeper for late Eurostar connections but it is only evey other day and the train is a bit grim.
I'd probably be happy if there were 2 trains an hour between Brussels and London and they made an anytime ticket (and perhaps a security fast track) without the rest of business premier perks I really don't need on a 3 hour train.
