I have a two year old Bauknecht machine. Sadly realized too late the brand had been bought by the consumer-hating Whirlpool group. 600€ for a machine, that breaks exactly 25 months after we started using it. Lots of small plastic parts alre

Op should really consult a lawyer. That said I don't think your draconian conclusions necessarily hold. If you are a neurointerface engineer and generate neurointerface IP that you'd prefer to commercialize on your own, probably t

Finland has a vast and long coast that could be used to build on or offshore farms. There are also wave hydro systems and Finland has many rivers etc that could be used. Really a choice to go nuclear. Not a necessity.

EDF (France) keeps building nuclear reactors around the world. Not sure whether they are the only EU company active in that market, but I doubt it. Either way, some expertise definitely exists in Europe. Germany had spectacular delays and

This is whataboutism. BBC might be biased but it is not straight propaganda and lies as RT. Honestly there is no point in discussing this if you cannot see the difference between a state sponsored channel that pumps out literal lies and fak

Nonsense "first punches". Russia has been censoring media within Russia for many years, and has gone increasingly harsh. The RT ban in Europe came after Russia banned several western and local critical media and disaccredited jou

Well, try living in a country with two or more official languages. What you get is basically a random language. Anyone in those places suffers from such bad design choices.

Or they could do the obvious, which is to let the Palestinians form a full state within the internationally recognized borders. But Israel does not want to respect those borders so does not want to accept a two (or three) state solution wit

While the poster you are responding to seems to be a mythical creature, this is very strange gatekeeping. Hacker news has never been a purely technical forum, given the business, marketing etc side of startup culture. This intermixes with l

I certainly as the reasoning but still this is fundamentally a problem that should not exist. Here's where the service would be actually powerful: if it sends you proof if a broker added you within the 12 month period and tells you whe

Sorry I might come across as harsh, but you indicate this is a 'defect', at the same time your comment makes clear that this is a known issue and you choose to keep it that way. > The other reason this product defect has persis

Can you give an example of a company that mandates this?

So they will enter all this data on the websites of the brokers which sell such data....this reminds me of the website that promises it contains all/most bitcoin private keys - just enter yours to find out if its there!

Lobbying. That's the reason. There is no rational reason why a user's explicitly expressed preference would become irrelevant after a year. The organ donor database won't ask you every month to verify that you still want to d

What's the point? The company a you are asking to remove data will anyway know which dataset you asked to delete. What would work would be a mandatory self block list (e.g. most EU countries have a 'do not call' opt-in list a

But this seems to be neither software nor does it actually make it more difficult to sell data. Its a servive that sends opt out requests for you. As far as I can see there is no legal value to this, nor is this sustainable - the next scrap

I have no opinion on the service itself, but the very concept that such a service is 'needed' just is wild. Have we reached a peak of capitalism where I have to pay someone monthly to check x/year who is selling my data? Seem

Now I'm not a lawyer but very familiar with EU legal texts. Firstly, the part s/he quotes at the beginning is from the preamble/recitals, essentially intention statements, explanations and background. This is not in any way l

True, they are smaller, but the key is they managed this shift. Their education was not always top notch - it changed by careful and wise policy design over ~2 decades. And while Estonia is small (1.4Mio), that still means we are talking ab

Indeed, both made masters level pedagogical degrees and regular upskilling mandatory. The salaries are also decent but not actually extravagant in comparison to other jobs. They do of course have six weeks summer vacation, which certainly h

This is utter nonsense. Yes there are homework help businesses (and NGOs, council-run offers, etc) in Germany or Sweden but this is a fringe business and the vast majority of students never use it. If you have evidence for the contrary plea

Just to highlight this book is 40(?) years old. If you want to see how an egalitarian education system reaches the best education system results in the world - Estonia and Finland are the countries to look at. Their education indeed follows

This was some story from before the agreement, and it seems the story lived on. The legal text is not yet out, but you will find it on consilium.europa.eu probably later tonight and can check then.

This sounds like a lie. There is no obligation to pay everyone the same (and neither would this regulation, once it is eventually agreed, create such an obligation).

Does that sound like initiatives written by corporate lawyers?

@dang, i would suggest to change the editorialized title. Its not a fait accompli, its a draft under discussion. E.g. Proposed EU directive on pay transparency andbetter access to justice for victims of pay discrimination.

You're missing the main point of mnemonics, which is simply to help recall. Anki is designed to reinforce memories, but any additional context and connections help this recall. The best way to learn is really to combine both: make onc
