I do operate DMARC report processing service and I have to agree that outdated reporting addresses living in DNS records (in my case, previous customers of mine still using their reporting addresses) are an issue.
Although the RFC 7.1 section regarding External Domain Validation [1] addresses this topic, I've found that lots of final hosts disregard this step and blast their reports to whatever reporting address is provided.
To the best of my knowledge opendmarc-reports does not perform a DNS check for external auth, but I might be mistaken.
Major hosts (Google, Zoho, Yahoo, Microsoft) are checking for sure. Japanese hosts are the worst offenders. I will try to do a proper data extraction and report back.
ILFORD is still selling photo paper in rolls with the specific chemicals required for regeneration of baths. It does allow a skilled lab operator to use Durst Lambdas or even a 1hour laser-based minilab like a Noritsu QSS or Fuji Frontier to print on real b&w paper!
However, the same skilled operator should be able to calibrate her minilab in order to obtain decent looking b&w prints on color-based paper (RA4 process - used by Noritsu & Fuji).

It's actually a fairly good way to test if your lab sucks ass. B/W is not forgiving to poorly calibrated equipment or chain stores that are cheaping out on replenishment.
small nitpick: RA-4 is a Kodak process. The Noritsu minilab I ran used Kodak chemicals. Fujitsu labs typically use a 'compatible' version of their own that can't be called RA-4. While the two systems work, we always found C-41 Fujifilm looked inferior printed on the Kodak processes and vice-versa.
Slight nitpick, if memory serves the Fuji process is CN-16S (though I may be wrong - it's been many years since I ran a Frontier minilab!). To all intents and purposes it's regen RA4 though.
The big problem with Frontiers was it was near impossible to fully eliminate the colour cast on B&W prints. You can kick the machine into B&W mode manually, but there are still limitations the RGB laser exposure engine and process puts on you. Practically that means you can't get a true black like you can with silver-halide processes.
They are still fabulous machines though. Awful user interface, but the technology behind them is pretty incredible.
I am living in Lille, France, where Gobee.bike begun its French expansion. I am commuting by bike and as a cyclist I do agree with the comment above.
Dockless bikes quickly became a nuisance, a few days after gobee.bike released their fleet. People left those bikes everywhere, including on pedestrian space and bicycle lanes.
On a personal note : there is a well maintained and dock-based bike sharing system provided by the town council in Lille. If bike sharing, as some point, become a part of the town's infrastructure — see: Paris with Velib, Lyon and Lille — I do not see the need nor the space for concurrent offerings from different bike networks.
I live in Lyon and I use (and love) the Velov system of docked bikes here. I was interested when the Gobee bikes arrived not too long ago and spotted a few around the city, but the convenience and numerical advantage of the Velov bikes meant I didn’t give them a try.
Velov works really well but there is a trade off. The local government gives away the rights to all the external advertising in the city to the company behind the Velov bikes. The company provides the bikes and, in turn, gets to on sell the advertising space on bus shelters, outdoor signs, pretty much everywhere in the city it seems. A little bit of competition would not be a bad thing, I think, though it would be hard for any competitor to overcome the advantages that a big advertising company like JCD has in terms of their revenues from the signage.
The 35 hour workweek is not as simple as "only working 35 hours". It is the case for blue-collar workers (ouvriers) but things are less rigid for white-collar workers and management (cadres).
"Ouvriers" are paid by the hour and "Cadres" per day. All engineers working in IT should have a "cadre" contract, so they do not really count their hours.
Boss or staff, in the French startups with whom I did have the pleasure to work, the 35 hours are far away from the really worked hours.
