What is the answer?
To online safety for children? The same as offline safety; parenting and education. There's not much money in those though.

I always hear this but it seems to mostly be made up? Like yeah, there’s crime in London, but less than in most European or American cities… seems like a narrative that keeps being pushed without merit
It's a slightly mixed picture. Knife crime is one area that's been trending up for 10 years now. Shoplifting is at a 20 year high. Fraud is up. Firearms offences are roughly level.
But criminal damage is down. Of course, if you call the police for criminal damage, everyone knows they won't turn up and you'll just get a crime number, so unless you're claiming on insurance you're probably less and less likely to report it.
We shouldn't be aiming for London (with 200 phones stolen every day as it is) to reach the level of the worst European or American cities.

What's frustrating me about this is that theoretically this list should include every MUD and BBS, if they don't want to get in trouble. It's a horrible law, which forces people into the pockets of the largest sites which can afford to do the age verification.
Speaking as a Brit, I wish Wikipedia would just go black for the UK. That might focus some minds.

Likewise. People (organisations/companies), as far as possible, shouldn't be pandering to this stuff, it's not the answer, it doesn't help them or us.

Demonstrably false. It creates a safer online world for some.

Some of the articles, which contain factual information, are damning for the UK government. It lists, for example, political scandals [1] [2]. Or information regarding hot topics such as immigration [3], information that the UK government want to strictly control (abstracting away from whether this is rightfully or wrongfully).
I can tell you what will (and has already) happened as a result:
1. People will use VPNs and any other available methods to avoid restrictions placed on them.
2. The next government will take great delight in removing this law as an easy win.
3. The likelihood of a British constitution is increasing, which would somewhat bind future parliaments.

Does it even do that?

When writing React:
- Default export a React component.
- Use Tailwind for styling, no import needed.
- All NPM libraries are available to use.
- Use shadcn/ui for basic components (eg. `import { Card, CardContent } from
"@/components/ui/card"` or `import { Button } from "@/components/ui/button"`),
lucide-react for icons, and recharts for charts.
- Code should be production-ready with a minimal, clean aesthetic.
- Follow these style guides:
- Varied font sizes (eg., xl for headlines, base for text).
- Framer Motion for animations.
- Grid-based layouts to avoid clutter.
- 2xl rounded corners, soft shadows for cards/buttons.
- Adequate padding (at least p-2).
- Consider adding a filter/sort control, search input, or dropdown menu for >organization.
That's interesting. I've ended up writing a React app using tailwind with python backend, partly because it's what LLMs seemed to choke a bit less on. When I've tried it with other languages I've given up.
It does keep chucking shadcn in when I haven't used it too. And different font sizes.
I wonder if we'll all end up converging on what the LLM tuners prefer.

Not sure where you're based, but the Safety Helmet Assessment and Rating Programme[0] in the UK is my go-to for.. well, helmet ratings.
That's sort of what I mean.
I looked up an Arai Tour X5, thanks for the link. It gives four stars and some colours for different zones at set impact speeds in m/s in a lab. It tells me it meets standard UN ECE REG 22.06 with a double D ring retention system and composite fibre materials. Super objective and necessary.
But I've read a lot of similar information and, somehow, seeing the results of a person being dragged down the road, for some unknown amount of time, which is pretty super subjective, still feels (perhaps wrongly even) as though it gives me a better understanding than just reading numbers/letters/colours.

I was terrified for his head. Great review though, as someone who's been mulling over getting a bike licence and struggling to wrap their head around gear ratings, this was eye opening.
Or just put in some effort to make things actually more efficient and don’t waste resources on the user’s machine.
Theres only so much efficiency you can squeeze out though if, say, you're using AWS Lambda. I can see this helping mitigate those cold start times.
Annoyingly, Brave has disabled support for this.
If the UK had made a success of HS2 (difficult to imagine with governments in much of living memory, but let's sidestep all of that) then it could have been claimed, perhaps with some merit, that the UK was able to do something with rail infrastructure that the Swiss could never because they were hamstrung by their approach.
