"But at the end of each sales chain is either another landlord or someone who was previously renting."

Or, in many cities, on the end of many sales chains is a Chinese or Saudi who is trying to get wealth away from an oppressive regime.

Many countries even have their own internal alcohol belts. Austria has many wine growing regions where Wine dominates alcohol consumption.

Yeah, but farming in general is different in Austria, just look at the rates of e.g. cage eggs in the US, where 95% are caged. Plus even in Austria you have to watch out, a lot of the cheaper meat is from large German farms with similar conditions.

No, what they are saying is that cows fed with seaweed AND antibiotics are still more profitable than cows fed only with seaweed.

If you collect the data, some of it will be exposed, that's a very real risk. Especially in cases like this with biometrical data that can't be changed. I wonder if something will change after a few big leaks in this sector.

I thought Telegram was sending messages encrypted (though not E2E) per default?

How is this a purely technical problem? I'd argue it's a purely non-technical problem, especially in the many cases where e.g. the postal worker needs some implicit knowledge to make the right decisions.

There already are VR rooms. I'm stoked to try it out (going next week), but from what I can tell it's still a niche even for the companies where you can do them.

But most of this content will get a negligible amount of views, which means that most of the conplaints come from a much lower number of videos.

It hasn't always been the case, mostly because for most of human history attention wasn't the limiting scarce resource to things.

This is not about personal "pleasure in the physical appearance", but about the culture where using Playboy photos in a professional cobtext doesn't raise any eyebrows.

How is it reasonable that "this line that you will not cross" is pornography and not "an app that tracks and controls Saudi Arabian women"?

Where are warm lunches for schools typical/expected? Have never seen them "properly".

Learning about the gods of old greece and their stories is still part of the curriculum in a lot of European countries. I doubt most would think of the Moon Landing first.

The bus stops are for the surroundings of Krumbach, which probably means about one per village. I doubt it will be hard to discover them, especially because there are still signs for the buses there.

>Some sort of privacy or seclusion area for women or children who have to wait alone

How is this supposed to work? Especially with bus stations of that size?

Depressive realism is still a strongly contested theory. There is also a lot of evidence that depressed people rate themself worse than warranted.

It's the reality in most western countries.

Are there no other options? I get that it's difficult if you want international payments, but surely for inter-American payments enough other options are available? (Genuinely curious)

But since not everyone that would be or could become a good software developer takes that path there are also a lot of people out there better than the CS grads described here.

And the Landeshauptmann of Lower Austria doesn't work for chancellor Kurz. I get what you're saying, but the US is not that special.

>Should Facebook provide this without redaction of the recipients' identities? I'd say no, providing this data without that redaction is a violation of the recipients' privacy.

How is it a violation of privacy to tell a user with which other users they have communicated in the past?

It's a rather small company, but it's in the top 20 Websites worldwide, top 10 in the US.

I'm aware, but "has a different approach to fines" is not really relevant, otherwise this just boils down to "The EU has a different approach to Anti-Trust-Law".

Deutsche Bank and especially VW are already targeted by the US. Just compare the fines for VW in Europe and the US.

Most of the Japan railway system was built by the state and privatized later.

Yeah, but if without the enabler the world would be better off on net, there still is a case against WhatsApp.

Yeah, but the Tumblr code and infrastructure was always a bit special. Few sites of this dimension had so many major bugs.

But that's because your recipes are built on the easy divisibility, no? If your recipes are built on weight measurements, suddenly "easy divisibility" brings nothing to the table. If you cook with a kitchen scale, "one ml of water is one gram" is used all the time.

I don't know about the US, but in Europe the big one was taxes: Due to loopholes in tax regulations, weird accoubting practices, etc. Amazon pays next to no taxes, whereas small bookstores who can't afford to "Double-Irish with a Dutch" their taxes pay way more.
