This was used as an example of how different German is from English in my introductory German class. The "society peculiar to the nation" of Germany in that era referred to the arayan race, so an idiomatic English translation might well be "The German Racist Party"
Remember the folks playing a ship's horn sound and selling trips? The CRTC sued the company who was paying for the ads, the advertiser failed to defend themselves in Canada, and so lost. The US honored a Canadian court order and seized their bank accounts. Poof! No more advertiser! This also worked on a different scammer in eastern europe.
It's very Brave of you, Minister, to shut down a leading competitor to Facebook just when Facebook is getting into trouble with the courts. Giving up all that opportunity to "spend more time with your family".
For people who didn't watch the British comedy, initiatives that would lose you elections were considered "brave", and anyone who got kicked out was "retiring to spend more time with their family".
In a previous life, pretending to be a bog-data person, we could use US-based Google BigTables only because
- the most sensitive information had to be published in a political-contributors report later, and
- the personal (personally identifying) information was only kept there for the duration of the election campaign.
Otherwise, we would have had to store it in Canada on equipment we owned.
Or, alternatively, you hear the words of a lawyer who wants to put together a class-action suit and has "convinced" an academic to slant their paper in Nature.
I use Hypothesis to track the annotations I have created when "marking up" a series of discussions to use as reference in a paper or argument. It's very uninteresting to anyone else: no-one particularly wants to read my links.
I expect lots of tiny echo-chambers, and some private sexual discussions.
Numerous of my customers use Mac on Intel as development machines for Linux on Intel servers, to provide mass-market GUI tools and target-specific development tools.
Apple is about to make that unpopular.
This will put a push on Linux distros like Fedora and hardware companies offerings like Dell's XPS 13 Developer Edition, to finally deliver the year of the Linux Desktop. Well, for developers, at least (:-))
"unfit for the purpose" and "not suitable for the purpose sold" are phrases found in statutes of fraud in many places, including Canada and Michigan. Other states may vary, but any which have a statute of fraud will provide the customer the option of laying charges or filing suit against the vendor.
Assume you want to be rich. Where do you profit from selling a lie?
I can see it in politics, we and the US both have had "monster raving looney parties". People donated money to them, and their leaders profited. Where's the profit in selling flat earths, anti-vaxes (I liked DEC's VAXes) and the like?
Canada, and to a slightly lesser extent, the EU, is faced with a need for more taxpayers. Civilized countries so so by offering highly motivated people (like refugees) a path to citizenship
Google needed to do lots more in the first trial to make a case for APIs being purely mechanical. Appeals are about errors in law, not in the case made by the party I agree with.
The engineer you need is not always the engineer you want.
The best, most successful engineers are people who can learn anything. I used to make money from a reputation as "the fastest researcher in the west". It was a blatant overstatement, but I could do literature surveys, and so started projects with a basic understanding of what they involved.
Some are less fortunate: I know several people who have learned difficult new technologies in double-quick time, but were faced with "must have 5 years experience in Java", when Java was only two years old.
My management is looking for people who have proven they could learn new things, by having done so repeatedly.
I'd have hoped for the policy my credit-card company has.
I have one name, and one main number, the latter an identity I use for lots of personal stuff. I also get single-purpose numbers (identities) for suppliers I don't necessarily trust.
I also have a work card, a distinct identity with separate billing, that I use for stuff for my employer.
And finally I have another work card, for a start-up I've been meaning to spend more time on for a dog's age (;-))
One me, many identities, just like gamer-tags and noms de plume. Normal, human stuff.
I'm surprised too: when you have a mature offering in a market, and the (93% over all products) monopolist is in legal trouble, you look to see if you should invest, to move your competing product into a higher-earning category.

That argument works better in English that it does in German (:-))

Hmmn, that may have been a Freudian slip, based on my opinion of the big data of the day ...

If it's charges, the offending company's failure won't affect the results. The officers and board member still have to face the judge (:-))

They've maximized their native capacity to earn, time to sell it for a godzillabuck or two and watch the purchaser go tist-up (;-))
It's like being in an entire office of salescritters, all constantly exclaiming "OOH! SHINEY!"

To Novell, actually, who had used SCO as an agent. Sun didn't exactly like SCuM.

They want cheap skills, not the ability to gain skills.
T-shaped engineer? Not a bit of it: PI-shaped or octopus-shaped engineer are what they need. Just not what they want.
Stealing loaves of bread used to be pretty serious in France (;-))

Speaking specifically to moderation, Google already has that problem with YouTube.
