"Privatim therefore thinks SaaS or hyperscale clouds – especially those subject to the US CLOUD Act – are not appropriate places for Swiss government agencies to place “particularly sensitive personal data or data subject to a legal obligation of confidentiality.” - No shit, Sherlock !

Russia's Ministry of Finance and Central Bank have formally agreed to legalize cryptocurrency to settle international trade deals.

Prise de contrôle de l'entreprise Nexperia par le gouvernement des Pays Bas - On pensait que les chinois allaient séquestrer tous nos placements chez eux, mais non, c'est l'inverse qui vient de se produire.

ByeBye les investissements chinois en Union européenne.

Et on va surtout bien observer comment les hollandais vont morceller et vendre cette entreprise aux américains.

"Swiss driver faces $110,000 fine for speeding in Lausanne Switzerland"

For context, the sign is placed on the highway when they are doing work on the road, mostly around Lausanne, the largest city in the middle of the French speaking ciarea of Switzeland.

It says: "Since we started the work on this roaf, we removes XXX driving licence".

You must drive 20ish km/h above to risk getting your licence removed. On the highway the normal speed is 120km/h, when you have work on the road, the speed is reduced to 80km/h (a few meters before they spees down to 100km/h, in 2 steps). So within a few hundreds meter you have to reduce your speed by 40km/h, 20 above (after margin deducted) you risk your licence and a huge fine, at some point indexed of your income. And every summer you have a lot of these zone with work in progress, often it stays there more months, and most of the time nobody is working there, at night, weekend, while they are waiting for machines, parts, manpower or money. So 75% of the time you have to speed down but there is not so much danger in reality.

In the more than 100'000 cars passing every day (source from the official statistics), you can imagine some are bored to slow down all the time, multiple time per day, every few km because of yet another neverending work-in-progress where nobody is working anyway if you are late or during weekend. And in all these people some might miss a sign once in a while and didn't slow down fast enough. So in statistics of course some will be above 20 more once in a while.

What they do is placing a speed cam right on the limited zone and then add this sign in front.

I never understood what was the point of these sign. To brag about all these people life ruined? To scare people that if they make a slight mistake or forget once to follow the law they will be fucked and banned from societety?

And are these figures updated by the police or they just put random numbers that increase every day?

I think it's completely useless and just piss off people even more about all these none sence, inefficiencies and silly law enforcement.

And it's only happening in the French speaking region, I never seen such in the German speaking area. Why only here? Why being so agressive and irrespectful?

If they would just scale up to have more lanes, more roads options, and get organize to minimize the impact, shorten the work as much as possible, do it at night (when it's not 35 degree on the buring road, poor guys worling there). If the speed reduction was only at night, only a couple of days per summer, and it will not delay the stressful comuting everday, people will respect it and much less licence would have to be taken.

Note that I never got my licence removed ans got caugh only once in my life for speeding (in an empty tunnel at night because I forgot to slow down cruise control once). But this kind of mentality from the state always piss me off.

Swiss on nostr, what do you think if it? Am I a jerk for fining this absurde and arrogent?

#Switzerland #Lausanne

Vaud canton is the source of 60% of all judicial penal sentences in Switzerland, most of which are from the Via Sicura law (car drivers harrassement). That's why I don't go often there anymore, it's almost impossible not to finance the state through fines.

Switzerland: Someone is suggesting a law change, with significant opposition from many parties and lack of clear support of the public (which will be needed in referendum).

Meanwhile in EU:

- EU censorship files:

https://xcancel.com/Jim_Jordan/status/1948730617803296910

- EU introduces mandatory strict age verification (basically ID card identification) for widely used services

- Constant introduction of various Chat Control proposals, breaking E2EE (same level of shit than proposed in Switzerland) - either on EU level or on state level (France, Ireland).

I think they want to harvest some EU funds to build infrastructure in EU (EuroStack), which they promote. This is not a privacy play, European Union is the last to care about privacy.

Proton, this is bad. Please stop. I have a lot of respect for you and I am a paying customer, but this is not a way to go. While it's admirable to have skin in the game and show the Swiss government you leave if they pass it, leaving to EU is surely a joke, because the current situation is much worse than what is just proposed (and will probably not pass) in Switzerland.

"Because of legal uncertainty around Swiss government proposals(new window) to introduce mass surveillance — proposals that have been outlawed in the EU — Proton is moving most of its physical infrastructure out of Switzerland. Lumo will be the first product to move.”

There's no possible popular referendum on this one, because it's a modification of an existing ordinance, it's not at the law level.

The article takes in account aggregated foreign central bank reserves. If it's not rehypothecated (I know, it's a big IF), it means that LBMA, COMEX and Shangai market reserves are not included.

L'or surpasse l'euro dans les réserves de banques centrales, mesurées au prix actuel. Dollars US 46%, or 20%, euro 16%.
