Jeez, it's easy to forget how unusable the web is without an adblocker nowadays.

When I look at the download page now, there are no ads (disclaimer: I use an ad-blocker and I use noscript). Furthermore, VLC is available from the Microsoft Store, so that you don't have to fetch untrusted executables anyway.

> Currently the US has an impact on the world markets. Not just the EU. Absolutely! As a European I'm only looking at this from an EU-perspective, though. People from other parts of the World should do the same.

The fact that the US has such a large impact on EU markets is a threat in itself. Sure, Europe and the United States are on decent terms now, but nobody knows how things will look in 5, 20 or even 100 years, and being that dependent on exte

As many others here, I have been (and in some ways still am) in the same situation myself. My advice, find something else to do in your spare time. Many people recommend excersise. Remember, excersise doesn't have too be going to a gym

Well, as said, if the content itself can be considered personal data then sure.

I assume it's because they are occasionally behaving unpredictably and thereby pose an even larger problem when on the road. There were probably not a lot of bicycle roads or bicycle lanes back when the law was written.

Agreed, although if it isn't backed up with resources to actually enforce it, it's just a meaningless gesture. As sad as it is, a large part of the traffic offences are simply ignored outside ring III (apart from speeding caught b

The Finnish habit of riding bikes and scooters on the pavement is outright dangerous. Alas, I couldn't find a single candidate willing to raise the issue in the recent elections. :/

None. The question of liability for automated crime reports is an interesting one, though. One would assume there is a person responsible for the operation of the computer in question.

There's a lot of people who can't get fiber when you get outside the cities. I'd be thrilled if I could get under 35ms.

Interesting follow-up: What _IS_ the natural decay rate of those substances? I tried finding some data, but wasn't really able to find any.

I haven't read the estimates, but that would be relocation only, correct? Assuming that's true, you need to add the costs of terraforming on top of that.

Sadly, this is the one thing that people keep forgetting about. This isn't a new phenomena; it's just bullies finding an excuse to be assholes to others.

Yes, and the twitter link above suggests that this is already used for tracking in the wild. That being said, if one is THAT worried about tracking then one should not be on the modern web, and should probably stick to using Lynx over TOR.

Problem is that there's a ton of shared hosting providers that won't support such a setup, as it would require a lot of modifications to 1-click-installers for WordPress. General WordPress users have no idea about such things, and

How would sender authentication solve the problem? A large amount of spam is sent from throwaway domains with SPF and DKIM in place, and another large part of it is sent through hijacked web sites and email accounts.

Precisely! Replacing all gasoline and diesel engines, if that's even possible, will take decades. We need something other than fossil fuels for them in the mean time.

If it breaks our dependency on fossil fuels then I'm all for it.
