So punish smaller European firms first just to not give the impression that it's anti-US? Or go after the companies actually doing it at scale and owning most of the market? What irrationality, twisting everything to be some secret ant

This is a big cultural thing that happens once in a while. See: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/GermansLoveDavid... Another example is 'dinner for one', an ancient British theater play&#

That's nonsense. The reason for low interest rates is so that Italy won't collapse. It's widely hated in Germany as bank accounts have basically zero interest nowadays.

Also this motion is not deciding anything. The parliament is just asking the commission (the EU equivalent to a ministry/government) to publish a study on this and take a next step. Fixing to a specific standard would also not be somet

That doesn't make any sense in the real world.

For me it's more a discussion or dialogue with one speaker. The same an old theater play would act it a convicted character - s/he will say one position/argument, then the other. There's no description of the bagel (so i

This is actually not simpler as it's governed by a billion different licensing agreements, rules etc. To give one example: These are nationally negotiated because languages vary. One key and for once reasonable argument for why you nee

I've given up on premium products. I'll either buy things that are for small offices/businesses (eg OKI printers, Karcher vacuums, etc) or simply the cheaper ones. Bought e.g. s €2000 Samsung fridge - only problems and compli

The existence of the gdpr is not enough. You'd also need to start reporting/suing those breaching the rules.

This is not height of ignorance, this is the basis of much good policy: understanding that most people in most cases will not be able to fully evaluate the benefits & tradeoffs. Say you buy the same food every week and get a discount co

That's a very simplistic view and doesn't at all cover the whole picture. The union benefits all countries in varying ways (eg without the union Italian and Spanish and French banks would long have gone bankrupt). At the same time

Ask all the countries the US invaded or where it initiated coups for its own interests... most of South America and the middle East saw themselves at the receiving end of such events. I personally would prefer the US over China but I'd

It's interesting that all of this is only a problem if China is indeed an/the enemy. In fact mutual dependence is one of the key elements of Europe's narrative since WW2 - "if we all exchange and trade we will not make w

There's a lot more to this. E.g. there's is constant neurogenesis (new neurons being born) but most of those die before they can attach themselves. Aerobic exercise tends to improve their attachment (exact mechanism is not clear)

No the solution is that inkjet is not needed except for a few rare moments where it delivers better results. I have an oki laser colour printer, quality is on par with any inkjet I've seen except professional photo printers.

Instead of posting your personal idea that this must be wrong because it seems extreme, you could read the very lucid and clear article giving exact numbers on how they calculated this and why they are confident in this calculation.

The same distinction applies in any Western democracy. That said, most European countries wouldn't go about tracking vast numbers of people - especially with such a deep intervention there will be courts involved before they are allowe
