I agree with strong enforcement. Only then will people see the actual value of a parking spot and thus can it cover its own cost. I don't understand the "there will never be enough" part. No one is saying there wont ever be a

I don't get the "international" part. Any country could add it's own regulator and companies wanting to serve the local market would have to abide by it. If you want to serve a global market, you'd have to satisfy t

Yes, such rules would make companies focus on specific local market first and expand slowly. I'm not so sure this is a bad thing. As you said, it doesn't make a difference to existing big companies. Slower growth for new ones coul

There are advocacy groups fighting privacy everywhere, including germany. And yes, they make progress, even here. But we still have stronger privacy culture and laws (that local companies follow, regardless what the guy a few posts above sa

I'd like a statistic for that. To me that sounds like a classic observation bias. Just like germans frequently complain how unfairly bad the US gov treats VW or Deutsche Bank. Something i also haven't seen objective info for or ag

Spy organizations are indeed a necessary evil. But not at all cost. There has to be effective oversight, checks and balances and public discourse about its limits. Not sure about the first two in the US, but here in Germany they fight that

There also is (was?) a daily limit on advertising for german stations, even commercial. Thus barely any ads at night. Some shows even had to be classified as add due to heavy product placement, so we barely got any other adds that day.

The "hash" would have to be non-reversible. When we compare images based on content, afaik we transfer them into a vector space and measure distance. Do we really have tech to make and compare such a content representation in a no

For privacy reasons you probably want to create a new bank account for every atomic "coin" you have and might want to transfer. Also you might want to move them to new wallets in random intervals to make it look like they have bee

That's not "competition" between countries. You talking about shitty tax law that doesn't take into account bad acting countries (even within the EU). I don't care about a companies legal home. If they want to make

I have no experience with amateur radio. How resilient is it against bad actors? If i'd about to drown i'd probably keep yelling for help, regardless of consequences (for others). How do you handle such cases without some authorit

A bad policy can be undone, publishing data can not. So I understand people want to play it safe more so on the later one. Also keep in mind that with DNA you are not just making the decision for yourself. Your relatives share significant p

And they likely don't have to get your specific DNA. Just have to find a single willing relative.

I hope you also considered the risk for / asked all the people related to you before handing over significant parts of their DNA as well.
