For GDPR yes, but there is also a separate and older EU regulation that is specifically about cookies (among other things). https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/EPrivacy_Directive

Maybe not what you were wanting to suggest but... yes it is something that would be the case in the situation you suggested, for better or worse, regardless of your intent.

Even allowing that but requiring your valid ID must be taken into the venue by yourself (or by your friends eg if you get sick and can't go) would be a big improvement, meaning ticket scalps would have to actually go or have someone on

No it doesn't imply anything criminal. Many people have things they wish to hide that have nothing to do with being illegal, from reasons for being fired from their last job to the amount of alcohol they're drinking alone at home

I'm amazed to hear anyone doesn't use UTC, I'm not a professional developer and I remember learning, just while teaching myself the basics of PHP & MySQL as a teenager, that it's best to have databases store either U

You're misunderstanding the bit of that blog post that you've quoted - it only says that starting to analyse t.co links for malicious content is a good thing for reducing malicious content. It says nothing about whether that job i

Agree with you, that's why my thought was that, if they were to do anything, an acquisition in which VW retains their autonomy and leadership would make more sense than one in which the two executive teams merge and attempt to manage t

If you look a few comments higher than mine, you'll see that the context of my comment and the one I replied to start from: > In another universe, I wonder [about Apple + VW joining forces] We're not speculating on what might

Or even make it a full acquisition, but allow VW to remain a separate organisation with its own CEO and own board who answer to Apple's shareholders (and/or to the very top Apple execs) rather than to a separate group of sharehold

Please re-read my comment as it already addressed what you're talking about and shows the opposite to your claim. (I've just re-read what I wrote and think it's clear, but maybe I'm missing that the way I wrote something

Every time I've seen statistics comparing, they disagree with your anecdote. Spending two minutes to look on Wikipedia shows that, for example, comparing UK to USA: the UK is technically worse in "homeless per capita" (where

You've replied to somebody talking about "if somebody developed (something not in this blog post)" with a long angry rant as if they had imagined the blog post claimed it had developed that thing.

I think there's multiple downsides, but the biggest one is that it makes it a massive pain in the ass for any price-conscious users to decide whether it's worth paying for. Right now if I want to install some software to edit imag

Might I suggest asking a friend who you trust to read the thread and share their thoughts with you - because I thought we just disagreed, and I didn't think much of your opinion, but saying that either of us have "made up scenario

My feeling is that you're the one confused with what other people think and care about, not the other way around. I'll leave it there and agree to disagree, as you've been ignoring the points made by both of us who replied to

"Capable of" isnt the same as "is willing to".

Yes, people make mistakes, especially when common usage of a word like "fine" doesn't align precisely with legal use. In my opinion it's getting upset about not everyone having a concrete understanding of the legal syste

by swores 2y ago
Because in non-legalise common English usage, "fine" just means "financial (usually) penalty for wrongdoing". A civil lawsuit doesn't need to be anything like a speeding ticket from a legal point of view, from a nor

Thanks for the good comment, but the link you shared has me confused - it's showing a 404, so I assumed it had changed overnight, but looking at IA's Wayback Machine shows that URL as having been saved on a number of previous date
