Automation is already a thing on ships of almost any size. Most of their trip they are on autopilot (The airplane version, not the tesla one). Plot a course and that is about it. (Ok, pretty simplified)
This is even available for smaller ships and sailing vessels.

Perhaps you did. I sure did not. I still understand that email is not instant and can take up to 4 days. When people now do not get an email in 30 seconds, they will call you.
We see whole countries break. We see things breaking all the time that where there almost forever.
So not sure why you thought that it could not break.
If you look for exceptions to the Reinheidsgebot, look at beers that are REALLY outside of it, like a Kriek. Beer with Cheries, not a Paulaner, that is a Hefewiezen from Bavaria that had an exception to the Reinheidsgebot. The brewing of Hefeweizen was forbidden in many other places due to, well, sort of copyright and patenting issues. So because of money.
And Hoegaarden should not be used as an example of a beer since thet where bought by AB Inbev (Interbrew at that moment) just like Paulaner and several others
And a good pilsner is still good. It is a complete different taste. Just like some people like red and some people like white wine. One is not better than the other. I personally do not like red wine, (nor Champange), no matter the quality. I would never call a good pilsner "bland". It is just hard to find good ones, as most are made for the masses (Stella, not a premium beer.)
So you have to go to ther smaller breweries in Germany. The margins for special beers are larger, so that is what most brewers go for.
This is a product, not a project. They could easily put it in place for paying customers. Yet sometimes IT people are so focused on computer language that they think that they must adapt it to normal language as well. "You did not say to do it, so we didn't" is one I have seen more than once. The "That is not the procedure" is another nice one.
One company I worked for I asked the price to add an option. They said the procedure was to request the option. I did not wanted to do that, because I did not know if this would be financially interesting.
There where three options pricewise: 1) So expensive, it was not worth it 2) Expensive enough that we can sell it as an extra. 3) Cheap we will use it as marketing "We have X included"
In the end it was just putting a cross in a web interface. It was the reason they bought the package in the first place, just never activated it. Literally 2 minutes of work (including the coffee). Took 4 months to get there.
The first printer I bought was an HP 501 (I think) that had issues with the feeder. They send an heavy metal thing with a rough plastic surface and a printer for free. That surface was so great that the next one I bought was an HP as well,. Printer scanner. The third one was also a from HP because of their great service the first time.
When that one was broken because of dried ink (like the second one) I looked how often I actually printed something. It was 20 pages per year. And that was 16 years ago. It has not increased.The last time I actually printed something personally was for some cheap airline company that did not accepted electronic boarding passes.
Probably because they hope that people have no printer, show up and they can charge extra. Because friends took the same flight, I had no option, otherwise I would not have picked them.
I assume the majority of people do not need a printer for personal use. It is just something that people think that they need, as they do some minor administration work on it.
If I where unable to print that one paper at work in the last 5 years, I would have gone to a printshop or somewhere that they have a printer and pay for that one piece of paper. As long as I get it for less than 50EUR, I am ahead.
Does this chabge anything in th slightest? Will it be reversed? Somebody losing his job?
We live in an age where there is no accountability. This is not the only place where people lied, and admitted guild. There are three letter organisations that admitted guild. Nothing changed. The cheaters won. They will win in the mnext few elections as well. And why not? It pays of. I just hope that the next revolution is not a bloody one and that it takes place after I died. I do not see a serious change without one. Hope I am wrong.
So you mean wealth us mot just comparing income? Mind blown.
Well, not really. I so not care that much how much taxes I pay. I care if I have enough wealth. And to me wealth is the ability to buy stuff and have time to enjoy life.
There are plenty if companies that comply with GDPR and not have an issue. As long as you do not share data, you are already thete for 95%. Taxes in Europe are a lot easier than the US. A LOT easier. If GDPR was an issue, the taxes should be enough to leave the US.
Do not forget that the laws in Europe are made for the people, by the people.
If you tell me somebody is 0.0011 km tall, the conversion is done pretty quick. You just move it 3 decimals and you have meters. The conversion is not instantly, but not a real issue either.
A better comparison would be 100 000 seconds is how long? Is that hours, or days?
Greed is most of the time a reason to sell something. The few times that people try to do the best thing means that they either get serious less money for it, or they get screwed over once the deal is done, as they do not own it anymore.
I know of a few examples. Ones stands out where company X did not want to sell to company Y for whatever ethical reasons. So company Z bought company Y and then was bought by Company X.
So trying to do the best thing just ment that they got less money.
And when I sold the house of my parents after they died, the only thing I looked at was if the price was good and they where able to pay. I would not care if the house prices raised, because of what they did to the community, or dropped because they opened a drug house.
I never lived there. I had no emotional bond to either the house or the country (let alone the neighborhood), so why should I not be greedy?
I do understand that selling shares might be different, as it means that you might still own shares and it could have an influence as to who you sell to.
I would go buy "Percentage of people that actually visit a different country" and start from there.
I can imagine that, percentage wise, more people from Vatican City or Monaco or even Germany will visit a different country than e.g. The USofA, Russia or Brazil.
It probably is so high, because it IS a relative unimportant country. That means less enemies, that makes it easier for others to accept you as visa-free.

If it would have been free, there would, most likely, not an issue.
e.g. in Belgium the courts will not go after somebody sharing music. Sell 1 CD and you are toast.
When I talk to people about it, I get a "Shut up Nerd. Don't try to weasel out of the real issue. It is your turn to pay a round."

You make it sound as if watching porn is a bad thing.
Wow, you have so much knowledge. (not really)

I have one. I rather have the Chinese perhaps than the Mericans for sure spy on me.
I do not care about that specific phone.

BOFH is still alive in many places.
You Europeans have it so good. I have to pay to LOOK at the printer at work. They also reduced the bowl the rice comes in that they pay me with.
(Laugh, it's funny and I am Urupean)
There is no need for most people to own a printer for personal use. Just go to a place where they print it and do it there, like you do.
Even with a laser printer, the amount that 99% of the people print, they will still come out ahead by doing the printing elsewhere.

If that means paying 50% taxes, I am happy.

Well, in non-metric it would be 25/100000th or 1/4000th. That is much better. /s

When they where available the first time, we laughed how only idiots and people who thought they where important would be using them.
35 years later: It looks that we where right. (Yes, I am an idiot as well).
Yeah. Fuck you, Dave!
