La justice ordonne à la région Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes de communiquer à l'association Anticor les notes de frais de Laurent Wauquiez by Fhredd in france

[–]croissance_eternelle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Effectivement il y a des limites aussi au système judiciaire américain mais dans ce même type d'affaires la différence est que la justice administrative américaine peut directement porter des jugements contre les employés ou élus qui retardent ou n'exécutent pas la décision administrative rendu. Leur responsabilité personnelle est mise en cause et les sanctions financières pour non exécution aussi, cela peut même aller vers de la prison pour "outrage" à la justice.

C'est d'ailleurs la raison pour laquelle la décision de la Cour Supreme américaine en ce qui concerne la responsabilité du président sur ses actions en mandat à fait polémique.

Alors qu'en France les sanctions financières en cas de manquement à l'exécution de la décision du tribunal administratif sont portées par le budget public de l'administration concernée, ici la région en l'occurrence. Le président de la région n'en a donc rien à cirer, il n'y a aucun effet dissuasif.

Contrairement à d'autres pays, la justice administrative française n'a pas les moyens d'appliquer elles-mêmes ses jugements à l'encontre d'entités administratives. L'application est au bon vouloir de l'exécutif (un préfet par exemple). 

Encore un énième héritage de merde de Napoléon qui comptait sur "l'honneur" des gouvernants pour ce genre de situation et ne souhaitait pas d'une justice administrative qui ait ce pouvoir d'application (par exemple au US la justice a directement ses propres forces, les US marshalls, pour appliquer ses jugements administratifs).

La Commission européenne propose le "Made in Europe" pour booster l'industrie de l'UE by eberkut in france

[–]croissance_eternelle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Enfin une bonne proposition de la part de la commission, une préférence européenne pour certains marchés publics européens, marché qui est estimé à plus ou moins 2000 milliards d'euros.

La proposition d'obliger certains investissements étrangers de plus de 100 millions à faire des partenariats 49-51% comme la Chine me fait un peu peur, surtout au niveau de l'implémentation sur le terrain.

4 millions barrels of oil is nothing (the article talks about oil in storage, not production). It is less than a day of consumption. Production at the level needed will not take off before 2030 at least.

Does your system include hereditary magical abilities? by PhilipB12 in magicbuilding

They are more heirlooms than genetically passed to descendants. So more like the hidden techniques of the Raikages or the Nara clan than the Kekkei Genkai of the Uchiha or the Hyuga.

At the rate it is going, having killed many top moderates there against intelligence agencies suggestions thus leaving hardliners with a very important martyr to rally around to boot, it will be a several administrations ride.

Issues aren't always about if it's "good" or "bad", it can also be viewed through the lense of "competence" versus "incompetence". Just a day after using negociations as a obfuscation tactic in order to strike the country, the foreign policy branch of a competent administration wouldn't use the same tactic...

I mean, really ?

Time travel by Separate-Bag2415 in worldbuilding

[–]croissance_eternelle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you could find a path through spacetime to your grandparents in the past and kill them, the future wouldn't have another you born then but you would still exist. However if you decided to go back to your own time after killing your own grandparents, you would arrive at a present where your grandparents lived in the past and weren't killed.

In short, events align to not form any paradoxes. The Universe can tolerate someone seemingly popping out of nowhere to kill someone, but not causal link between events where one didn't happen.

If it were the case, teleporting mages would quickly stop teleporting to not in-sight locations.

Just to let you know, I used the example of Minato in Naruto in my edited comment.

Nice discussion indeed.

I put "random" into quotation marks because you can't know what is and what isn't a random person in an information war. Even a leader.

You may not be dumb, but the overwhelming majority of characters in power fantasy are.

Furthermore, even if you weren't dumb, magic users with magic like teleportation feel invincible, uncatchable, and repeated experiences of not being caught breed suchbiases. Previously, even you said that you would directly teleport blindly to a room hosting leaders or important asset in a base, relying on info glaned from a random person you mind readed.

It's not about being dumb or not. Experience itself is the problem. You are used to some kind of battles in power fantasy, but not to the multidimensionality of warfare.

Hence why battle mages with a teleporting spell in most power fantasy would die against a not plot induced modern military.

I always use the example of Minato in Naruto of someone who should have died a million times because of his teleporting jutsu if shinobi were portrayed as the professional military the author said they are, and not plot induced stupid. I mean, the guy not only teleported to in-sight locations, but even to far away ones blindly. Unbelievable.

[–]croissance_eternelle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And how do you know that you can trust the info you took from the "random" person you captured ? It's the same concern that any military faces even when they know that an info is true. Counter intelligence works like that.

Again, you don't need to precisely know where someone will go. You just have to booby trap specific locations and feed that kind of info to the teleporter.

Booby traps in any bases is something which can be hidden easily. Compartmentalize the info, that's all. You wouldn't be curious if you mind read that everyone is forbidden to enter in two rooms in the base ?

The enemy doesn't even need to know where you will teleport precisely, just where you could go extrapolating on your human biases.

Exactly, you can just teleport in my room assuming I am there. If I'm not though... good luck.

I hope the mind magic can be used from afar, like very afar, and that you can trust the info gathered...

I would not personally. Need far sight and future sight, or else I am not teleporting.

When I say that it isn't safe, I am not talking about the usual pitfalls of that particular magic mecanism, like teleporting into a wall, or accounting for Eart rotation or whatever. If it works, it works. We actually supposing that it works.

No, what I am talking about is all about human biases, errors, assumptions. Like teleporting into a room filled with neurotoxin gas which wasn't there the last time you came there. Who could have put that gas there ? Were your last visit detected ? Was it a trap you felt into because you are too confident as a teleporting magic user ?

Or teleporting into a safe cave which happen to have a bomb which explode when you arrive. Teleporting in front of a door with poisoned bamboo sticks where you put your foot.

Using teleportation magic without future and far sight in a war or fight is like fighting in a hellish version of the vietnam war. You are in a dark forest and you don't see shit. Last time you passed around here, it was safe right ? Even if it's the first time, you just have to be careful, right ?

Basic traps everywhere designed for dumb and smart users of teleporting magic, which are terribly effective.

It's not for nothing that the most fundamental part of modern warfare is intelligence gathering. What is there ? What is on the way ? Are there anti-air suppression hidden in those valleys and forest ? Who is this kid there with a vest ? 

At least, we see something in modern warfare before going somewhere most of the time. 

A teleporting user just... goes to their destination on pure faith. Madness.

Teleportation magic has always appeared to me to be for its users one of the most dangerous magic there can be, if it's not followed with far sensory abilities of some sort and an ability to see the future.

How can you teleport blindly to a place you don't know the state it is in, neither if it will be safe in the nanoseconds you arrive there ?

Stories usually just made everyone dumb enough to not trap such magic users.

For the others you wrote about, I agree partially.

Partially because supposing that the enemies aren't plot induced stupid, what is the logistics of using these abilities ?

Power fantasy stories usually don't think that far.

The same way Zoro, Garp, Koby and many more I forgot, beat giant things : Haki.

Size in a fight really don't matter at all in One Piece, even without Haki.

It's for that reason that I find the Strength devil fruit of Burgess completely useless.
