Abrahamic religions are weird in general. What's your point? The article highlights the fact that it is now possible for single individuals to order Facebook ads targeted at very specific groups, and asks whether the practice is ethica

For the record, I also use a unique email address for my Facebook account and it was NOT uploaded by any advertisers. Just wanted to put this here in order to point out that this might not affect everyone.

The Danish authorities have apparently mandated TLS 1.2 when sending certain mails, due to their interpretation of GDPR. I don't have the details though.

I'm sure there are other variants as well, but buildings on private roads with no name usually get an address based on where they intersect with the closest public road. If the road is public, it should have at least a number. Almost a

Ditto in Finland, although we base the numbers on the distance to the start of the road, so number 123 would be 1230 metres from the start of the road. Makes it quite easy to find the way, actually.

The real problem is that many people simply don't want children. There are plenty of incentives to have children here as well, but that will only change the minds of those who want children but can't afford them.

There are plenty of other problems caused by the mass-immigration policies in certain countries but people abandoning their own culture is not one of them. After all people didn't stop going to church because someone else built a mosqu

Of course not, as always, the problem would be to decide who gets to decide that certain people are idiots. History tells us that we're not very good at chosing the right ones for the job. :)

Same in Finland, and from what I've heard, in most of the developed world. Many young people simply don't want to get kids, and there's probably a demographic crisis looming over the horizon. Migration will probably be used t

Humans breeding like rabbits is a _really_ bad thing in the long run. Contributing to that will only make the problem worse, and most intelligent people realise that. The solution is to discourage the "idiots" from having kids in

Anyone know if British trademarks will be valid in the EU post-Brexit? If not, this will open up quite a big risk for domain hijackings.

Firefox allows me to select which server to connect to. I have no problem with DNS over HTTPS as a technology.

Good thing there are alternate browsers then! :)

That's really how I feel about all browsers since Opera did a U-turn and re-made their product into a Chrome clone. Firefox can get quite close with a bunch of add-ons, but not enough.

This is not a single country -- as the article mentions, this decision is valid for the entire EU. Obviously, there will still be some kind of limit for individual businesses, but a 50M€ fine is nowhere near enough for a company like Google

Google will now be expected to do it all over, and follow the rules. If they fail, the fine will most likely be much higher.
