But... it's not killing. Words matter. It's asking someone to help you die. And the doctors who help you are guilty by default, until proven innocent. No one healthy and of sound mind will choose to die. It isn't called &quot

Why would you think it's preferable to withhold medical services from someone who explicitly requested it, is sound of mind, has unbearable suffering (again, confirmed by two independent doctors whose actions are from the outset consid

Why do you think it's "wrong" that someone wants to die? Isn't it her life to begin with? It's hers to decide what she wants to do with it, and if she wants to die because of unbearable suffering (which is the legal

Did anyone here ever see a migration _from_ PostgreSQL/MySQL _to_ MongoDB? I've only ever seen startups pick Mongo, then regret it a few months or years down the line and migrate to a relational database. Did anyone ever see the o

If US big tech doesn't need the EU, then why do they keep on bending to its will?

You have clearly not seen the amount of people who click "deny all" or "only statistics". Before the GDPR _everyone_ had to accept _everything_ a website sent their way and didn't have a say in it, after the GDPR on

Overly aggressive denials of simple requests ("please use another word") just make me wonder why you are so upset about it? Blacklist/whitelist DO reinforce the notion that black = bad and white = good, so what's the dea

It IS illegal in the EU under the GDPR. People need to *voluntarily* consent to give access to their data. What Meta did, which is "give access to your data or you need to pay to access the site" is not by any stretch "free
