It's not so strange that we get fewer "smaller open-minded business(es)" though, considering the increasing regulatory burden. Of course, they are maintainable - but they do consume a lot of resources to tick them all off. Mo

Hm, I do like products with nutritional data. But isn't the non-regulatory solution here to just not buy products without nutritional data if so? I mean, I'd certainly contact my favorite brands and request that. If they won'

I know it's not an too popular opinion here on HackerNews and I'd say you're sort of right, but you got it in reverse. The problem is not that it's hard to control or tax companies, the problem is that it's not as e

I think the Original Poster that you're responding to mean presence literally, as the word is usually used. As in "Does Amazon have any facilities/staff etc in Austria?".

I really like LWN and I subscribe - although the Kernel Development part is usually way above my head and my interest level. If you perhaps not enjoy LWN enough to subscribe - at least consider if you have any friends that might be interest

I'm not sure about the density, but you'll definitively find some appreciators and libertarians in New Hampshire - considering the Free State Project.

I see plenty of homeless Swedes every day when I walk from the Stockholm Central Station to my work in Stockholm City - at least five, everyday - and that's a short walk. Sure, it's not San Francisco - but it'd be an incredib

My point, if it was not clear - is simply that if you want a near complete (you'll always have strays) compliance rate - you need to have laws that the subjects are willing to follow - in another words, that they respect.
