This should be of interest to all American startups: if the court agrees with this assessment, you will have to store European user data on European servers and cannot transfer these to the US. Probably not even for data analysis. AWS and o

One reason I'm using Adblockers and Ghostery is the immense number of trackers found on any website that are supposed to help in delivering personalized ads to any future website visit. Seriously, ad companies: Stop trying to show me p

In my case the local bookshop [1] two doors down the street offers the perfect compromise: You order online on said website, then pick up the book in the store the next day. Typically faster than amazon, same offers, obviously same prize (

I don't quite understand your question. You are asking what Iran wanted from the EU and US and what they wanted from Iran? EU&US: Don't develop nuclear weapons. Iran: Stop the sanctions, let us sell our oil. Is that what you w

This is the part that I don't understand. The original aim of the EU was to create a single domestic market. A year ago when the canceling of roaming charges was first proposed, no such safeguard was mentioned. So indirectly this would

Thanks, that is really shocking. Did not know that employers were going that far in low wage industries in the US.

Has anyone ever seen a non-compete clause on service jobs like delivery car driver or cleaners? Just curious, that would take the thing to a whole other level.

Why should the size of countries matter in this regard? How small does a country have to be to not succumb to these proceedings? Example 1: CETA, the Canada-EU trade agreement. Basically similar to TTIP, by a country with 35 mio citizens. E

Yes, somewhat. Anything shareable. The major point would be the github-like financing model: It's not the individual users that pay for the service by enabling targeted ads but companies that want to get in contact with potential custo

I stopped at about the same time as you, but I actually returned a couple of months ago. Without friending anyone. And the reason? I use Facebook as a very simple way to get news about really minor things of importance to me: + my climbing

Fully agree with all that you are saying. Especially the " If it's physically possible to go climbing now without definitely getting fired, you're going." part. I went yesterday evening, my skin is still sore, but if I c

Sorry for being harsh, but suggesting that German coal power plants are responsible for Paris smog is just bollocks, Paris being around 300km from the French-German border. There are ample reasons to criticise the "Energiewende",

Fully agree. When I read "micro" I was expecting 15 sqm, not expecting it to turn out larger than my first flat (25 sqm) when I was still at the university once I've done the calculation. 25 sqm is fairly typical for student&

No. Your previous comment is simply irelevant as a HN comment. Look at the other comments in a similar style to yours. All downvoted as well. Editor wars are so damn dull without any factual exchanges.

The biggest issue for me is startup speed. Atom simply takes too long for me. I'm often quickly having a look at large numerical csv files and Atom startup times plus csv load times are always large enough to immediately switch back to

Maybe it is a mild paranoia attack kicking in, but I find the trend to a cashless society very troublesome. I'm doing all I can to avoid being tracked on the web, using AdBlock and Ghostery, among other things, yet the privacy implicat

But isn't "same old, same old" a dangerous position? I understand what you are saying, there have constantly been wars in every possible inhabitable area, everywhere in the world and especially at the end of the 19th century.

Replace "America" with "Germany" and "Eastern Europe" and consider whether you would like to uphold your position. The author's point was that the common narrative of European settlers colonizing an empty

That's a pretty good summary - though I'm more used to the French and Middle-European scales. As I have been searching for something like that for a while already, do you by any chance have a link to something like a cumulative di

Well, first you're stating that they don't plan it, then you're called out, now you're simply stating that you remain sceptical. That's pretty poor.
