Isn't it amazing how the EU time and time again installs regulation that benefits the people who live there, even if that means going against companies best interests? And still many inhabitants of the EU think they don't benefit from it (although those numbers are going down thanks to Brexit).
What makes the EU different from American politics is that the EU is there for the people. So companies can not easily buy laws that make them get away with screwing their customers by bribing congresspeople like in the US. This means that if a company breaks EU law they are likely to be sued and fined, which is great for the European people because they get good products and service for fair prices.
I know people who fire up IE, which then starts up with Google as the home page, type the url of the site they want to visit in the search engine (for instance amazon.com), press enter and then click the first link that Google shows.
Another good reason to just use the browser and go to the respective websites that way. You also avoid every app knowing all your contacts, birthdays and whatnots that way.
You have to add the costs of all the people who get sick due to pollution, famines and wars because of global warming, America eventually having to import green technology because they have turned themselves into a country that's stuck in the 1950s when Trump's life was still fun for him and for rebuilding New Orleans and New York and Miami because they will be under water soon.
You have obviously never seen coal. Here in the Netherlands all electic trains (and that means >90 % of the trains we have riding here) run on green power, mostly wind. If we can manage that Tesla will have no problem disconnecting most of its chargers from the grid.
This. I was a researcher back in the day and even writing articles at home was not very effective because I often had to look up stuff or ask colleagues about things. I also found that many things at home were even more distracting than collegues and other stuff at work. So I was not fomd of working from home.
And you know why India and China are increasing their output? To produce all the shit Western countries, including the US have outsourced to them. Most of their exhaust by far is caused by Western countries buying the stuff they produce and hauling it over the whole planet.
Have you ever even used a smartphone? As another person said, they're just handy portable computers with an internet connection. Don't get so worked up about them; it's not worth it.
Indeed, it's not surprising at all. Chinese have been studying and done Ph.D. research at Western universities, financed by Western countries and then left for home with all their new knowledge for at least 30 years now. It's a miracle that it took so long to make China an IP powerhouse!
Oh please. You can still ignore all those websites that spread fake news and crap like this. The internet is made by real people and many real people are assholes, so there is a lot of shit on the internet.

They modded you down because you made a stupid remark.

That, and I pay for having a domain with email and websites. I like having that.

Oh yes because so many US relatet targets are attacked by IS, especially on American soil.
Because it suits him.
Every time I read about yet another Android malware I am reminded why I bought an iPhone. They're worth the price.

That's like saying democracy is a sort of a joke. Yes, it has its drawbacks but all the other systems are way worse.
That's why they're banned in Germany and the Netherlands. We have enough problems with normal taxi companies as it is.
You're right. But I still think there is no dark matter.

A more consistent approach to privacy probably means for them that they more consistantly ignore it.
The plan is to put a person on Mars and return them safely back to Earth. Do you think they had more than that as a plan when they went to the moon?
No. Mathematics is used to make models that describe reality. But those models are not reality. Reality is not mathematics.
You beat me to it :)
All the big American companies already have their headquarters in Europe or Bermuda and the like so I think we can cope.
