2 points: 1. The primary mechanism for enforcing GDPR is via regulators, not legislation. This is something of an EU/USA culture clash, but the person _complains to a regulator_ rather than lawyering up, so the courts would only be inv

Using consent as a basis to handle personal details under GDPR requires: * Consent is gained granularly, prominently, and separately from other terms and conditions * Consent is opt-in and individuals can refuse to consent without detriment

Leaf battery is 30kWh and even the smallest Teslas are double that (60kWh), most are triple (90kWh until recently was the largest). Assuming they can all draw the same current it makes sense that teslas are lingering for 2-3 times longer. T

Is this sort of passive device practical for applications such as wireless mouse and keyboard? It would seem like a great selling point (similar to Logitech's attempts to make solar powered peripherals)

The source seems to be here: http://euanmearns.com/co2-intensity-of-electric-cars/ It's unclear on a first skim whether the (constantly rising) energy costs of fossil fuel extraction are included.

Whether we are supporting it or not remains to be seen. May has always had this authoritarian streak but rose to the office of Prime Minister without being elected. Sadly this is unlikely to become a key issue in the forthcoming election, s
