I understand. I once reported child porn and the police then tried to threaten me with, fraud (Giving a false address at a free email company), obstruction of the law (Informed the newspaper after 2 weeks, because the site was still up. They never even replied they where looking into it, because their email was broken) and spreading of child porn (because I _replied_ to a Usenet posting in an abuse group with the URL intact.)
Never seen anything illegal since then. Nothing. Not ever.
Reminds me when I see emails with a signature that say what I should do if I was not the intended person getting the email. It was send to my email, so I was the intended person, from my point of view.
The fact that a sender might have made a mistake does not mean I have received it in error.
Yes, Data Protection Acts like the EU GDPR are there to ensure that PII (Personally Identifiable Information) aren't released publicly. However this doesn't mean it wont accidentally be or cant be released.
Obviously not, but the GDPR explains what needs to be done and the companies with that type of URL would be guilty. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... for an interesting read.
"Because he can" used to be a valid enough answer. There are plenty of people who are hoarders. There are tv shows dedicated to them. He just hoards data. And why? Well, why not?
I know a person who tries to download as much software as possible and sorts them in directories. These are all programs that he never ever uses and most he has no idea what they do. Why? Because he likes to do it.
Not sure if you are stupid or a troll. The bews media works as follows: they need as many people to watch it so sell these eyes to advertisers. Thus story is not interesting enough to do that. This is just another killing with a gun. Many of them you will hear nothibg about.
The reason you did here was brcause it was Youtube.
There are over 9000+ individual taxing districts in the US
That is your problem right there.
In Europe (compare states to countries) we have more poeople and nothing close to that. I do get a tax letter from my city, but that is basically just a bill for 50 EUR or 100 EUR or so per year and is unrelated to my income, but to the household.
Sales rtaxes are country wide. That would mena 52 different sales taxes. Not very hard to program in. Not even for a small company.
It is not they emplyoyer that does my taxes. It is the state and they already have almost all information.
Here is how it works in Belgium. I put my ID in a cardreader (Opensource, works under Linux) and go the the TaxOnWeb site. I am a wage slave. I do not have any extra income. I do not have any deducatble loans. I have nothing that I can bring in. I click on OK 5 times or so and my taxes are done as everything is already filled out.
If I would be working at two companies, the same thing would apply. If I have a mortage, that will be known as well.
Why do you think my employer would be doing that? It is the state that is doing that and has already most of the information. So when I have filled out my taxes, a few month later I get how much I need to pay extra (not happened yet) or how much I get back. They will then just transfer the money to my bank account.
In the case I have extra income they are not aware of or expenses they are not aware of, I just add that into the website and done. Or I still need to fill out the paper version. In those cases it will more likely be that you are not just an emplyee, but self employed and then you will, most likely, use your accountant to do your taxes.
Do understand that what the state does is fill out the forms for you with the information they have. It is up to you to verify that. You will get a year pay slip with the correct codes from your emplyer(s) on a yearly basis, so easy to verify.
I am just fed up that I have to cklick OK 5 times. Oh and if you are a pensioner, you do not have to fill out any taxes, unless you feel there is a reason for it.
But again: it is NOT the emplyer that would fill it out.
It might be for the person who I do the act with. I am not married, so I am allowed to do it. (Still an asshole thing to do, but not illegal) In the US adultery is a felony in 16 states https://www.womansday.com/rela... So in most of the US it is not illegal as such. That does not mean that you do not lose your house if you do it AND have to pay, but that is for breaking a contract, not because the act itself is illegal.
The real question is what this actually means and how useful this is. Does this mean that previously did it and are now stopping. Or where they never asked? I can also easily say that I will never help a government to do it. The likelihood of them asking is extremely small.
And are they willing to do business with those companies, er, governments. What about their re-sellers? What about companies? I doubt that many governments will ask a company to hack the planet. They will have a department that has holdings that owns companies that are not linked in any way or for to the government, because "National Security"
Also nice that they can do it when the civilians and companies are guilty.
To me it sounds hollow and more marketing than anything else. These are not the companies that are asked to help. They just own products that are used to do attacks.
It might be a problem, but is it a crime? Bit like me sleeping with the SO of a friend. Not something you should do, and extremely asshole-ish but it is not illegal either.
I know and building a eco-friendly ship will be apparently only an issue for Saudi Arabia, The USofA and Brazil. The rest of the world, who actually build the majority of the ships, have absolutely no issue with it. Not with the minimal price increase for the building of the ship, nor with the technology, that they used as an excuse not to go to 100%.
Netflix is not the only party at the table. The people they buy the licenses from are increasing the prices and shorten the duration. That is even for older shows.so paying for them wpuld ne a loss. Many shows are also sold as a bundle, soif one popular show is removed, several unpopular ones are as well. It is the studios a well that push Netflix to make more content, not Netflix alone.
The original proposal was a lot stricter. They wanted to go all green. Three countries where against it, so a compromise was needed. Those countries where Saudi Arabia, Brazil an the USofA, because they said it would be too hard to do. Countries that actually build ships ( yes, some are build in the US as well) had no problem with it.
1) That is your problem right there. The issue that you only had 2 options. The way elections are organized, the only solution is to have a two party system, even if it means the least amount of voters get what they want. "Winner takes all" is the cuse of the problem. 2) Even then I think many people did not vote 'for Trump' but 'against the current politicians'. Those are "protest votes" as we call them in Belgium. In a multi party system, you will not notice this, unless there is a serious issue. Then enough people will vote some lunatic into parlement. He will have a voice and that is enough to let others understand that they need to change things. Sometimes these parties grow into something larger. The green parties are such a thing, just like The Pirate Party.
As the Amricans do not have such a way to vote that way, what should they vote? Then there are the people who vboyted a third party. As far as I can tell, these where mostly Dems who did not want to vote for Trump. So they voted Third Party. If that is the case, perhaps it is the best way to show why "winner takes all" is such a bad thing.
I do not think that Sanders would have won against Trump. Way tgo socialist and socialism is bad, mmkay? And if you want to look at Sanders, also look at all the other candidates on the Rep side that he was able to kick out.
People voted for change away from the way politics is done. They did not get what they wanted, but that is the way people voted.
And last but not least, the bi-party system has people on BOTH side who rather see the world burn than vote for a candidate that is good for them if that candidate is from the other party.
Although I think I missed the episodes of To Catch a Predator where elderly female politicians arrive at the door with pizzas.
The last hour I tried to find (and found) video proof from the website RedTube, but that has to wait, because HR wants to discuss something with me. Probably a promotion as it seems to be urgent and I have do ###[NO CARRIER]
There is a difference between insurance and liability. If the insurance pays out is not directly related to the fact that I am liable or not. If I have a car insurance and get into an accident, if I am not at fault, I will get money. If I am at fault, it could be that I need to pay or that I do not need to pay, depending on the contract and the law. e.g. drunk driving will most likely be excluded. The same with e.g. driving too fast (not the same as speeding). Drive faster than 130 KMH in Germany and get into an accident and you will get nothing, even if you where in the right.

This explains why Emacs has everything and the kitchen sink. That way she knows where the kitchen is.

As long as you have a bi-party system where winner tajes all, that will not happen.
