Since when does the info have to be personally identifying? And simply they wouldn't be able to run this system if they didn't know the attributes applied to you so they must be using a method of identifying you even if that's just your unique CC number.
When I've asked for info under the data protection act which is likely the more relevant / associated law, it's never been reduced to just a handful of bits of 'personally identifying' info, it's been everything and I very much doubt the companies would hand over everything if they didn't have to.
I loathe links made in that manner because when you right-click them they aren't treated as links so you can't open them in a new tab with a right-click or copy the link etc. That is a mistake IMO, if it's a link when you left-click it then it should also be treated as a link when you right-click it.
For me it's also lots of little things like my webcam app and my mouse software and auto-hot-key and the old image-editing app I like and Autoruns and ProcExp and TightVNC and passwordsafe and Waterfox and OBS and Handbrake and WinAmp with all of it's visualisations and IdleMaster and SpeedFan And my VPN app and Agent Ransack and the more video config options that might be missing in linuxes reduced driver functionality and the bittorrent client I like etc etc.
I'd have to replace a hundred apps and likely lose a ton of functionality in the process.
"From everyone else's perspective, there's a constant stream of annoying drones flying overhead "
I live on a busy road, I bet these things would be no more noisy than the constant traffic, vehicles are noisy even when only travelling 25mph. Drones could fly a bit higher to cut noise pollution.
Separate note, the summary is dumb, landing pads wouldn't need to be mandated, you just say: If you don't have a landing pad available that meets specifications xyz then you can't legally have drones delivered to you and/or drones can only deliver to sanctioned landing pads. And who can't stick up a flat bird table like thing for the fast food to be dropped on to, not difficult.
I'm completely with you, it's the most obvious solution to many resource problems, pollution problems, cramped living problems, over-fishing etc etc.
But people don't think with their heads when it comes to breeding, China did a great job of halting population growth, they estimate they'd have 300 million more people if they didn't have 35 years of one-child policy.
Sure, total respect, now can we invent a time machine and assassinate the fucker before he unleashes the atrocious noises upon us all, it's like the who's who of dreadful manufactured music.
"Apple is probably one of the more famous ones for basically telling shareholders to screw off - Tim Cook has shut down several votes by some large activist shareholders to stop investing in green technologies and environmentally friendly policies and just seek pure profit - Apple can make way more money if they stopped wasting it on zero carbon this and that."
I wouldn't agree with those shareholders either, Apple has a public image to keep up and the shareholders clearly aren't recognising that, if Apple is caught with dirty manufacturing processes then they can easily lose customers, less customers is far worse than the tiny margin between green manufacturing and clean manufacturing, especially considering the size of Apple's profit margins. I very much doubt shareholders would win if they took that to court even if both sides had equal legal teams.
Whether or not you take holiday should always be reasonably easy to chose, I think if you don't take your allotted holiday then you should be paid for it. I particularly liked having the ability at one of the companies I worked for to be able to flex a week this way from 25 days to either 20 or 30 (excluding ~8 bank holidays).
I'd love to see Trump answer the question " do you think American workers should get a statutory amount of paid holiday as they do in the rest of the world."
In 1919 the primacy of shareholder value maximization was affirmed in a ruling by the Michigan State Supreme Court in Dodge vs. Ford Motor Company. Henry Ford wanted to invest Ford Motor Companyâ(TM)s considerable retained earnings in the company rather than distribute it to shareholders. The Dodge brothers, minority shareholders in Ford Motor Company, brought suit against Ford, alleging that his intention to benefit employees and consumers was at the expense of shareholders. In their ruling, the Michigan court agreed with the Dodge brothers:
OY, no, they are not 'representatives' in the democratic sense, the commission is no more democratic than any other Quango. There is nothing democratic about the Commission, to say it is democratic is to fundamentally misunderstand what democracy is, you can't have democracy at arms length, when you dilute it, it ceases to be.
So far as I can tell most Europeans haven't got a clue how the EU works, what it's bodies are, how the power is divided up etc. That is not a system that can be democratic. And it's a sad state of affairs when the majority of people don't even seem to understand what democracy actually is.
Actually, what you just described most certainly is not democracy. Those MEPs were elected to REPRESENT their constituents, the moment they stop doing that is the moment when it's not democracy.
The only real democracy is like what they have in Switzerland where the people vote directly on issues, anything less is barely democratic and very quickly can cease to be democracy.
I think EU citizens should force the issue by bombarding the governments and the biggest social sites with copyrighted works which have been altered enough to evade filters.
I wouldn't blame any company for completely blocking all uploads of anything including text / comments, this law simply isn't workable, it's complete censorship. Fucking idiot politicians and yes I contacted my meps about this more than once.
You're talking about something specific and different, I'm saying Waymo's in the wild testing leads to a driver intervention every 11,000 miles, it's increased from 5600 miles the previous year.
That that mileage happened also in some pre-set test is a coincidence and not what I am talking about, see the links I posted.
Like I say, we don't know what accident rates are yet because there are not yet any truly driverless cars, they are all supervised and years away from true autonomous driving. I do think these cars could be as safe as an 'average' driver within a decade because average drivers includes people impaired in a variety of ways. Whether they could ever reach the standard of a professional non-impaired driver is another question and I expect companies would shirk responsibility to make them safer because of costs.

Mostly nailed it.

Wrong because the fibre is what makes the difference.
Of course they did, what a daft thing to say, you think man passed up the opportunity to eat fruit whenever it presented itself?
What's easier, pluck fruits and eat them or chase some animal around? Do man's teeth look like that of other carnivores?

Ok, why is this flamebait?
Firtsly, fair enough, I didn't know all that.

Most useless anecdote ever, you don't say what part of the world you live in or what industry you work in.
27 days paid? You're clearly not the norm in the US.

Fuckwit, go look up democracy and understand what it means, representation is key, if those MEPs aren't representing then it's not democracy.
So far as I can tell most Europeans haven't got a clue how the EU works, what it's bodies are, how the power is divided up etc. That is not a system that can be democratic. And it's a sad state of affairs when the majority of people don't even seem to understand what democracy actually is.

If you drive a ford car in an illegal manner, should ford get in trouble, or the should road makers be imprisoned? Or should Shell be fined?

Laws not written by the people for the people, the EU showing it doesn't give a fuck about democracy.
