@HardwareGeek over here we’d probably use helicopters for that but you do you.

Hmm - that one works here as well...

@topspin There appears to be a mountain range between Padua and Rome. So the helicopter may not be an option for all of the way. Those things have a service ceiling.

From the article, it sounds like there was not heli access around the hospital, so they were already going to have to drive it a distance, might as well drive it all the way.

The salt they're licking off (for that's why they're doing it to begin with) lowers the freezing point?

@HardwareGeek Apparently it's for a different reason:
"They're obsessed with salt, it's one of the things they need for the minerals in their body," Jasper National Park spokesman Steve Young told CNN. "They usually get it from salt lakes in the park, but now they realized they can also get road salt that splashes onto cars."
At the Jasper National Park, where people often park on the side of the road in hopes of catching a glimpse of the moose, letting the animals near your car is actually a serious danger.
By allowing moose to lick the salt off your car, they will become habituated with being around cars. That poses a risk to both the animals and the drivers who can accidentally crash into them.
This last bit deserves a
"Moose and cars are not a good mix. If you hit the moose with your car, you take the legs out from under it and it's going through your windshield," Young said.

In south east asia, local people put palm twigs (which are a few meters/yards long) into such potholes in order to make them visible for other people there.
Repaired? Why should that be repaired?

Repaired? Why should that be repaired?Those kinds of holes usually form because there is a stream of water there, commonly a leaky pipe. It's probably a good idea to check it so it isn't undermining the road so that it doesn't suddenly collapse when a vehicle passes.

That's an unusually big operation, they seem to usually just kidnap, threaten or murder people.

My experience has being that any non trivial data set will eventually resemble a relational database and will eventually be implemented as such badly. How much shit is buried in aws must be eye watering.

No, but apparently having Saudi Arabia on it is still considered fine.

This is getting ridiculous. Are we going to have to start fining companies when there is a breach like this.

… and how much effort wasted writing algorithms that would have been much easier to write in SQL.

As long as it concerns companies, those companies realizing this might cause them trouble and switching vendors and/or insisting on appropriate liability clauses in contracts will be enough. When it concerns end customers, maybe, but at least in jurisdictions where class action lawsuits are a thing, those could work too.

Because companies losing a class action lawsuit and having to pay everyone a $5 voucher for their next $50 purchase will realize "damn, that's not worth it, let's spend money to do it right next time"? Yeah...

@topspin It would certainly have to be more than 5$ statutory damages. Plus legal fees.

Like those holes in south east asian roads - below the tarmac, they are often wider than they look on the surface.
