Your first "thing" is begging the question. What is that blatant propaganda (your words) really going to achieve at this point ? One of the West's key marks of distinction has always been freedom of the press. By allowing

I can't say I feel too proud or happy about censorship. What does this achieve, really?

Is your suggestion that because Turkey has a large army, countries like the Netherlands need to increase their military capacity? Or reduce it? Or neither/other?

by flipbrad 5y ago
My understanding is that military capacity across all EEA member states, and UK and Switzerland, would dramatically outweigh Russia's. Countries don't necessarily need to increase their military spend after this, especially with

I don't have a strong pro or against view at the moment, but I do think people ought to consider the privacy aspects - what you earn, at least for a while, becomes easily derived from the job listing for your role.

For it to do so would be folly, whether or not Germany increases its annual military budget.

I'm pretty confident this is to comply with a recent EU ruling that held that EU antispam laws apply to display ads that look like an email in your inbox. In essence the left prompt is a marketing email opt-in, even if it doesn't

Dismissing stuff because just you can attach a particular label to it - in this case "expert" - is intellectually and socially weak sauce. Why not instead engage with the claims and dispute them at face value, rather than resort

They aren't. The Investigatory Powers Act just tightens the conditions/ circumstances under which it is supposed to happen.

With figures like that, are you really disproving his point (that it's a speculative financial instrument, not a value store)?

It strikes me as extraordinary that we dump so much metal - isn't it easier to reprocess, than to extract new iron ore?

Caddy rightly gets a lot of love from its users - I've been a super satisfied user for a while. Rock solid reverse proxy to some selfhosted services.

Comments in this sub-thread need to distinguish between two dimensions to a signature: is it capable of legally binding the signatory? In most cases, any format will do. Is it going to be easy to enforce (I.e., to prove it was you that si

Our laundry loads generally split out between stuff you can put in the dryer without damaging it (much), and the rest gets hung on one of these racks. As soon as the weather improves, it generally all goes outside on a pair of lines strung

ePrivacy predates GDPR and applies specific (and stricter) rules to a few things, including against intrusion to internet-connected devices (the ePrivacy Directive's so-called cookie rule also affects malware, telemetry, software updat

I think we're talking at cross purposes. I am specifically picking up on the mention of "identifying" cookies in the OP. As you've flagged, the Planet49 case said that doesn't matter (your post: "cookies cont

This isn't a GDPR fine, it's EU ePrivacy Directive. That's why the French regulator felt it could fine Google directly rather than refer the matter to the Irish regulator - it says the GDPR's one-stop shop rule doesn&#x

Look again at the nature of the offence - it's not about consentless tracking (any tracking here, using cookies, was opt in). Plus, users that were concerned enough could quite easily refuse; they just couldn't do it with a singl

The rules in question apply to any storage of information to, or reading of information from, an Internet-connected device. It doesn't have to be "identifying" information. Edit: I'm amazed this comment is being downvot

At least under UK/EU law, you could likely justify such a cookie under exemptions allowing nonconsensual cookies - that's explicitly stated in the French regulator's guidance, for example.

I can explain my own downvote, if you like: the article is calling for reform of Bitcoing to make it more sustainable. You're pretending it's calling for bitcoin to be abolished - i.e a total strawman. You're also downplayi

Germany has a bottle return scheme. It's common for your (glass) bottle of beer or sparkling water to have significant wear marks where it's been rubbing against neighbours in a crate.

It may also be down to better sugar/carb content and fermentation control, and/or better temperature control during storage. If yeast remains active in the bottle, the CO2 buildup causes overly high internal pressure, as could hi

N is low; average age under 40; and probably fairly fit and healthy relative to wider population (it was a workplace party). Also, this was in Oslo, so potentially not tremendously ethnically diverse either. Seeing low hospitalisation in
