But they could publish another hash.

It kind of sounds like it might have been written to protect a mother wanting to have a child and then got misapplied.

My brain auto completed that as being up for auction.

No it did not. But it may have wronged it.

Having data is great. You can see what is… or was recently. But you need to feed this data into computer models to forecast the future, or a probability distribution about the future. And that’s what NOAA has and the navy doesn’t.

Would that be a problem when travelling to the… oh, right, we’re not doing that anymore… would this be a problem for Europeans travelling to Canada?

So… they chose to make a very Pixel-specific OS and you’re mad at Fairphone?

I’m sat here in Italy wondering che cazzo you’re talking about until I reached the word “Americans”. Because of course you were talking about Americans.

Is this the obvious counter example we’ve been waiting for to finally disprove Betteridge’s law of headlines?

Great. Now I’ve got that stuck in my head.

People have advanced from not reading the article to not reading the excerpt in the post. Quite impressive really.

Do you also expect the cost of titling and taxes be included in the advertised price?

As a European, yes. Absolutely fucking yes. I drove a Model 3 away (a while ago obviously) with all papers in order paying exactly the listed price.

Statista puts their 2024 GR at $164 billion. That would make a max fine of $6.5 billion per year. I’d almost be willing to just take that deal.

Fines for violating GDPR can be up to 4% of the previous year’s global revenue. Not just profits. Not just within EU. They’d have to fully withdraw from the EU market to flaunt the law this egregiously.

Honestly, I don’t quite remember the details of what happens when you export an item. There won’t be a sale to collect VAT on, but you’ll have paid prices including VAT to your suppliers and there is something about tax credits. But at the end of the day it’s a conceptually more complex sales tax but when you’re working with it it’s simple enough.

No, things produced in-country are taxed bit by bit along the production and transport chain, each time someone takes the thing and “adds value” to it. It’s a value-added tax. Imported things are taxed all at once when imported. In the end it’s the same amount of tax.

You could say imports are subject to a sales tax exactly equal to the value-added tax on domestic products. Sort of.

Every time we complain about the pay walls and (demand that someone) paste the full article text then we’re making journalists beholden to people like Bezos. Wife and I used to subscribe to WaPo and NYT. Now it’s Wired and NYT.

No, you see, Trump expects Europe to pull their own weight now. So Belgium will do the invading and then hand Greenland to the USA.

Not really. Being married to an EU/EEA citizen he’ll get a residence in any of the other ones. But having a full passport will cut down on paperwork in the long term.

Also, it’s nice here in Italy. Come over! The wife and I have been here for 7 years and once the bureaucracy is dealt with it’s (mostly) quite pleasant.

There is no reason to be an arsehole about it.
