The comment was exaggerated. If you are caught, you get a big fine, 150$-ish and if you pay it nothing will change. However, if you get caught again or don’t pay the fine, it’s not a misdemeanor, it’s a felony. You will be caught at the Sch

I can’t be bothered to look one up to be honest. I’m not that invested in US internal politics. But Wikipedia has a comprehensive list of reactions with citations: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killing_of_Brian_Thompson

Not to condone the violence OP is calling for, but we have very recent examples of what happens when somebody does this. The factual answer to your question is: „for a limited time, rejections rates by health insurance companies plummets“

If this isn’t satire, it’s super unethical. The „experiment“ includes humans who are neither aware they are in an experiment nor have consented to it nor will be debriefed after it. And one has to wonder if the whole thing is even fully leg

Judging by the OPs comments, the employer could easily retain them if they offered them remote and a bit more comp. It’s on the employer to retain talent.

Let's not pretend like Tamedia doesn't have a bias that has a significant overlap with people who tend to follow the SVP vote suggestions. Much like it's well known NZZ will come out with articles against the 10 million cap b

Yeah well, the source of the information is super suspicious. Let me translate this to different locales: en_US: „Fox news survey shows most people against immigration“ en_UK: „The Sun readers would vote for even tougher brexit, polls show“

People in this thread are missing an interesting perspective: We could, if we really wanted to, actually force this issue via referendum. It takes only 100k signatures to force a vote at the federal level, and less at lower levels. It would

Ultimately the people are sovereign, but realistically the Kantons are. Which is why that often cited „lady denied citizenship“ is incomplete. The Kantonal court overturned the decision of the municipality and gave her citizenship. It’s als

No country in Europe automatically grants citizenship just because you were born there. That’s a US thing. The closest are places like France where you can get it at 18 if you were born in France and meet a few more criteria. And because Sw

For an international perspective, I can tell you that their competitors are doing very well in my corner of Europe, but the competitions quality is 10x-100x that of Beyond. People buy competitors products because they are simply legitimatel

Yes? The Pirate Party has MEPs, it’s not exactly difficult to find their quotes. 3 seconds of searching was enough to find the following quote from MEP Markéta Gregorová: „We can now finally say with certainty that Chat Control 1.0 will end

They did. EU Commission reported that the false positive rate was 13-20%. German police reported that 50% of all reports were wrong. The system is rubbish and the EU MEPs were quite open about wanting it to go away.

Interesting way to frame the fact that the members of the european parliament voted 311 to 218 yesterday to reject the companies right to spy on you. I'm the first person to admit the EU has democratic deficit, but MEPs are directly el

Scandinavian law is commonly considered to be a subcategory of civil law. Judges in Scandinavia have investigative powers and can judge the truth of the matter.

You are technically correct but seem to be applying common law standards to civil law countries. Unlike common law judiciary, civil law judiciary in and of itself has investigatory powers and judges don’t just hear arguments but can order t

People in the comment asking for harsher punishment should note that we don’t know how many people selected the „I have no strong preference“ option and got assigned to group A randomly. It’s a bit harder to make the argument that those peo

Police show up and arrest you. Could be with reason, could be by accident. Maybe you did something wrong, maybe you didn’t. They also physically size your servers, and in doing so they unplug the system. If you have disk encryption, your da

The article was written by „Aaron Francis, Marketing Engineer“. I’m not a language purist, but are we really calling people who work in marketing „marketing _enginners_“ nowadays? That seems like going a bit too far with the meaning of engi

I know what you mean. But the numbers don't lie. In my case, I locked down to a fairly small group of European countries and the server went down from about 1500 bot scans per day down to 0. The tradeoff is just too big to ignore.

Be slightly careful with commerce websites, because GeoIP databases are not perfect in my experience. I got accidentally locked out from my server when I connected over Starlink that IP-maps to the US even though I was physically in Greece.

If you don't need global access, I have found that Geoblocking is the best first step. Especially if you are in a small country with a small footprint and you can get away at blocking the rest of the world. But even if you live in the

There is a middle ground there. I self-host, was not at all affected today nor would I be if Google, MS, Cloudfare or any of the big ones go down. But I cannot easily access my server because it is locked in a datacenter 1000 km away. But i

That assumes UK deploys technical measures to prevent their own citizens from accessing the website, which costs more political capital than fining a corporation. Or makes it illegal to access the site, which is even more unpopular. The dif
