It's hard to be worried about any new legislation coming out of a parliament that has been hard at work the last few years, showing that they wouldn't even be able to organise a piss up in a brewery.

I'm one of the ones that believe that Facebook should be better at policing there content. But they do pull down manifestos from mass murders and have been doing that for a long time. The first instances of that I'm aware of is th

The picture in the article is a computer generated rendering, the real building looks better. Although if you don't like the "Scandinavian" school of design. You are probably not going to like it anyway.

So something that maybe not everyone knows, is that the Norwegian Consumer Council, is the Norwegian governmental entity tasked with protecting consumers right. I'm not a lawyer, but my take on this, is that this is a governmental agen

So how do you expect adults to be able make an informed choice if Google is using deceptive design and misleading information? I'm sure most of the people here, have the know-how and information to make an informed choice. But wouldn&#

One of the challenges that men who have been sexual assaulted by women meet. Is that their stories are not believed or rejected, because some people believe that, "women can't do that to men". The parent posters have a tone,

I've been using Intellij's Java to Kotlin conversion a bit lately, and the code it spits out is fairly decent Kotlin, and with a pass through on nullability and switching out Java types with native Kotlin types afterwards. It gets

Fair enough, but Canada is the only country outside of the USA you can get it. So this doesn't really change my point.

So far no Model 3 has been sold outside of the USA, so it is somewhat premature to worry about having saturated the market.

Sweden has a long history of being a neutral country, it spent the whole of the cold war as that, and is still not a member of NATO. They did departure that doctrine somewhat when they joined the European Union. But it is still very much al

To a lot of people Assange is a hero, and I'll grant that I liked a lot of the early actions of Wikileak under him. But to me, he is first and foremost someone that ran from a sexual assault investigation and has spent the years since

I wasn't arguing that there isn't significant drag in water, and to be able to win swimming competitions you need to care about that to. But I have a hard time accepting that swimming shorts, is to swimming as shoes are to runni

As a runner I want shoes to get more efficient and better. What is about todays running shoe that makes them acceptable, and that anything better is some form of cheating? I don't agree with what they did in swimming, those body suits

I wonder what Google thinks about this. If these companies only use standard Android API's, and they get sued over that, that isn't good for Googles platform at all. A reasonable response from Google would be to change their ter

People have tried to have insurance against speeding tickets in my part of the world (Scandinavia), and those have been deemed illegal and stopped from paying out. I would expect a GDPR insurance would end up getting the same treatment. I c

I wonder what kind of lawyer your company consulted with. Are you sure they are experience with EU law? If they where American lawyers with no international law experience. Asking them would probably be as helpful as asking a Common Lisp ex

It doesn't have to be like that. I grew up on a Norwegian dairy farm. Killing calves is not something that my parents or anyone else in the business did. Female calves get to grow up and become milk cows, for male calves they are kept

I'm not surprised at all. If you look at GPS watches like Garmin tactix Bravo. It has a feature set, where some of the features, really only makes sense in a military/hunting setting. Although I wonder what kind of animal you are

Qualcomm has enough assets in the EU to cover the fine. So if they don't pay, some legal process will start grinding, and at the end of that, the police will show up and take enough of these assets to cover the fine. You really don&#x2

The reason for the traction of unencumbered media codecs lately is that MPEG LA got greedy with the license terms for HVEC, and now the cost of licensing HVEC/H265 is more than a lot of big licensor's are interested in paying. Thi

I would never misspell on purpose. That was a "something" accident. But I do see it now, after you pointed it out. Oh well, 20 years ago I would have been horrified being caught out posting something with spelling errors in public

So your argument is that your rich friend can hire people to prof read his writing. So everyone else can do that to? That does sound like a solution that will work, but maybe not practical for everyone?

Your right about dyslexia adding challenges to being a programmer. I've worked with a couple of developers with dyslexia, and it is clear that being a slow reader is sometimes a challenge for them. But on the other hand, both of them a

As I said earlier, getting someone to prof read your text, and catch all the problems is not as easy as you would think. Nor is getting a spell checker to catch all your errors. I have to admit I thought I was done with getting graded on sp
