  1. Re:What's their incentive to pay on Hamburg To Fine Facebook Over Facial Recognition Feature · · Score: 1

    Because they want to do busines in Germany (they want money, shock!) and so this helps them do business with german companies.

    Dropping the first part, the office, doesnt affect ehy are doing the latter - meaning they would still be under german jurisdiction.

    No, it's really true - you just have utter ignorance of history (hint: the first fire departments were privately run) and are thus doomed to repeat the errors.

    Also to point out that the interest isnt even "just" inflation - it is inflation OR the BoE interest rate, whichever is lower

    Which is currently 0.5%

    ALso the £21k is for the "new style" loans - mine is the old £15k style loan. Just turned 30 and should pay off all my debt by the end of the tax year.

  17. Re:Astrolabe, Inc. v. Olson et al on Civil Suit Filed, Involving the Time Zone Database · · Score: 1

    You have to have what the UK does - BOTH parties have a duty to limit costs incurred to reasonable amounts. If you sue in small claims court, then turning up with an army of lawyers is likely to hurt not help your case. Even with loser pays by default you can be limited in cost recovery to what is reasonable - again, if you use QCs to defend a minor case, then youre unlikely to get your full costs back if you win.

    Yes they would, as in order to do business in teh EU they would be required to follow DP laws - and exporting data outside of the EEA requires an equivalent DP law in the country, or youre not allowed to export it.

    It depends on what you agreed to when y ou signed up to the account. There should have been a DPA statement laying out how hthey, and others, can process your data.

    Easiest way to tell is to look up the BoS registration on the ICOs website, as this should tell you any partners they share data with
