Although this judgement was in Germany, I don’t see a reason that it would not apply to any other EU state, and I haven’t found any case law that says that an IP address in isolation is not personal data. Anyway, there’s no requirement for

It's a bit disingenuous of you to skip the immediately preceding paragraph, which explains how the court determined whether the website operator "has the legal means" or not, and highlights that in Germany, specific legal cha

I agree there's a lot of misinformation which leads to GDPR hysteria, however, unfortunately this is one such example of misinformation. https://commission.europa.eu/law/law-topic/data-protection/r... cl

Also not a lawyer, but I think it would technically count as personal information because it's a preference. Even if it's to provide functionality requested by the user, it would still be necessary to inform the user that this pre

Am I reading this correctly that not only is the definition of 'lap infant' not dependent on whether a child was in someone's lap or not, it also would include a child younger than 24 months who was restrained in a car seat a

Hard to say at this stage, but initial impressions seem to be that the pilot was following the instructions but were mistaken about what was in front of them.

It wasn't a miscommunication. The pilot understood and was attempting to correctly follow the instructions of ATC. The error (as far as we can tell) was that the pilot wrongly believed that they were following those instructions, but

I think the premise of your question is wrong. My reading of OP's comment is not that people have no agency, or that willpower is not a learnable skill. My reading of OP's comment is that for some people, it is easy to lose weight

OP conflated digestion and metabolisis. Although macrophages 'digest' in that they break things they 'eat' into component parts, they do not use those parts for energy (metabolisis). This is the key novelty here, these v

I think the use of the word 'eat' is a bit non-specific. Macrophages cannot survive on a diet of virus. They can absolutely 'eat' it in the sense of taking it from outside the cell, breaking it down into constituent comp

What big cucumbers they sell in stores nowadays! In all seriousness, if you’re paying by weight (or volume) then it should be OK not to have standard sized cucumbers… but pricing per unit should be reasonably consistent.

“Men’s Rights Influencers” is a very favourable description of the Tates, less favourable perhaps to those who support men’s rights without expecting those to come at the expense of women’s rights.
