Every time I post that story here someone quickly reads Wikipedia, doesn't think about what they just read and then immediately attempts an AI-quality refutation. Yes Wikipedia claims that "Having found that recalculation showed

No because plant levels settle at a higher equilibrium. Plants may decompose but there are more plants growing at the same time, so it still ends up being more. Higher CO2 levels are said to have led to a "global greening", in whi

The idea that all of Europe is highly left wing isn't really accurate. Recall that Switzerland, the UK, Ireland and even Russia are all countries in Europe. Anyway, pretty much every HN thread about anything Europe related will be full

It's hilarious that you think standards like "best effort" are clear. The lawyers in your company are loud about it because you have no way to know if you're in compliance or not. You're just hoping you are. The who

GDPR creates a lot of FUD because: - The penalties are massive: fear - The wording is vague: uncertainty - What to do is unclear: doubt That's entirely on the EU. I have no vested interest in GDPR one way or another at the moment and y

Feelings from whom? Because for sure that's a very common feeling in Europe about EU regulations. It was a big part of the political campaigning around Brexit, even. You even admit this - nobody feels this way, except for the people wh

They may seem obvious to you, but to a lot of us, it's not obvious at all. Vague notions of "damage" could refer to anything, like harming competition. Different value systems and all that.

Sadly, the EU has already lost that competitiveness through many other similar regulatory situations. The real risk is not competitiveness in creating products, that's a lost battle already :( The real risk is losing competitiveness in

Birmingham council is run by Labour but Westminster is run by the Conservatives. Unless by classes you mean all politicians, it's not the case that it's all linked back to central government. Besides, corruption isn't needed
