  • Do you have any documentation on how this work ? Is there a name to this special protocol? Is it a recent addition to the wifi standard ?

    Again a wifi AP doesn’t send data to a specific client. So how does an AP can enforce that one client can’t read a frame for someone else that is properly authenticated? How would an AP prevent someone spoofing mac addresses from receiving that data ?

    I’m really confused by this feature I never heard of even when I was playing with aircrack and so on. Yes sometimes your mac address can get filtered but even that is not really difficult to avoid.

    Sorry I have so many questions but I honestly did quite some “tinkering” with wifi years ago and none of this sounds familiar.






  • Just want to point out that the allergic person seemed to have taken every precautions possible to avoid this. She asked the waiter and the chef multiple times to verify that the allergen wouldn’t be there and they repeatedly said it was the case.

    I think there were 4 times where they confirmed that the meal was safe. It wasn’t at all.

    So it looked like a really really bad mistake from the restaurant staff.



  • To be honest I think it is an optical thing most of the time. IE your cat was never really black but the usual lighting doesn’t show the true color.

    But cats that do spent a lot of time in direct sunlight may get slighter lighter brown with time.

    I couldn’t find any study or data on this so it may also be a cat legend :p

    I know my cat is very much light brown in the sun even though she doesn’t spent that much time under the sun.





  • I follow closely what is happening in the US from France because even though we have a very different culture I still think US politics is a preview of what’s to come here.

    Right now I consider we are at the step where our media are crumbling and becoming unable to properly inform us. A step that has been reached a couple of years ago in the US in my opinion.

    The next step will probably be our own coup attempt in a few years and a steady increase in the division of the country and far right movements.

    I want the same thing I just don’t think taking what is inherited is the way to do it.

    I would much rather see the ultra-rich pay properly their taxes when they are alive.

    It’s not like taking inheritance money is the only way to finance things. I don’t see the reasoning.

    I can totally understand why someone with huge revenue would pay more taxes but I don’t see why someone who inherits has to pay taxes at that exact moment.

    In any case, I think you are missing the point and answering the question “for what purpose?”. Instead of “why?”.

    I want to know why it’s more logical to pay taxes when you die rather than paying them in the first place when you got the revenue.

    Obviously, the money collected is useful I just don’t see why it has to be collected when it is a time of sorrow for a family.

    Also where I live it’s like 50% of the inheritance that is taxed. It is not just significant, it is 50% of the work of a life that goes in one shot to the state when someone dies.

    Edit: I was mistaken, I did some calculations and a practical example: If I inherited 200 000€ I would have to pay around 18 194€ (20%)for one taxation and some additional applies but it’s nowhere near what I was told. This rate goes from 5% to 45% for the largest inheritance. In reality, to get a 45% taxation in France I would have to inherit more than 1.5 million euros.

    I still think this taxation is too high and I regret that my comment is not clear. I don’t want less taxation overall I just think it makes more sense to take the money over time on the revenues. Anyway, taxation for inheritance is still something people here are very much concerned about. Parents want their children to inherit as much as possible of their wealth obviously so seeing a good chunk going to taxation is not great. Again I’m ok to pay taxes. But we have 192 different taxes here (that’s the exact number calculated in 2014) so I would prefer a system where most of the taxation comes from revenues and what you own and that’s it.
