There was this study (not car related) on how well fines work, turns out if they are an absolute value (like in most cases) that is relatively low to ones wealth, a lot of people stop caring. Also, people are much more likely to break the law if they believe there is a high chance of getting away with it. So just having a sign might fix nothing, if the people to do not fear the penalty enough

Not really sure how to say this in english, but this case i’d say the problem in not only at the front-side (bad design) but also on the back-side (enforcing the rules). Rules that aren’t enforced are merely suggestions.

What’s so fucked about them?

Not sure what you mean, shows their relationship was not only about sex/intimacy and actually support my point?

I bet if the male escort wasn’t a male escort but a caring neighbour the family would still come for money, doesn’t read like the nature of their relationship is a problem. They should be grateful for the escort that their aunt had company, considering how awful loneliness is.

Nine European countries have the European Court of Human Rights in their sights. They accuse it of hindering their migration policies.

Ikr, it’s been too long already

It’s not like if we change that date other manufacturers will stop releasing new competitive ev’s

I agree both are a public safety issue, but there aren’t many similarities beyond that. For one, most people guilty killing or seriously injuring someone with a gun intends to so cause that result while people who are guilty of killing or seriously injuring someone with a car are unaware of the danger they pose or aren’t able to estimate how to react in a certain situation. Yes both need to be taken very serious, yes both are a big problem but their solution is very different. Although one more similarity which blows my mind is how unwilling American politicians are to keep more people alive.

In August 2021, noyb had filed several complaints against news sites using unlawful ‘Pay or OK’ systems with German data protection authorities (DPAs). Despite the fact that only about 3 to 10% of people want tracking for personalised advertising, these systems lead to consent rates of more than 99%. Almost four years after the filing of the complaints, the DPAs of North Rhine-Westphalia and Hesse still haven’t managed to issue a decision on the merits. Quite the opposite: In order to avoid finally deciding the case, the DPA of North-Rhine Westphalia has even issued a 12-page decision that it cannot decide yet. Today, noyb took both authorities to court for their year-long inactivity.

This man is clearly dedicated to his business

This would be so illegal in the eu

Welcome to 2025 son

I like these a lot better since the dishes are put a lot higher, meaning more space to move between the shelf and the sink. Guess this makes me no longer young.

The headline makes it sound like this is a problem in all of Europe, while the article itself is writes about how Italian journalists are likely being targeted by the Italian government. Georgia Meloni often gets a pass because she works together with other European leaders, but she is (almost) as fascist as Orbán and Vučić. Le Pen, PiS, AfD the list of like-minded politicians is long and we cannot and should not allow them to target independent journalists or abuse publicly funded media to further their anti-democratic agenda.

Cristina Caffara, an economist and antitrust expert, says the hyperscalers have responded to this movement by deploying an “army of lobbyists” in Brussels.

At the press conference, Caffara said the lobbyists are “relentlessly” targeting senior figures in Brussels to derail digital sovereignty efforts in Europe. The panellists even speculated that the EU-backed digital sovereignty initiative, Gaia-X, had been “infiltrated” by tech companies seeking to sabotage the movement by overloading it with bureaucracy.

The hyperscalers are not deaf to Europeans’ concerns. Google and Microsoft, for instance, recently issued public statements designed to allay any worries about US hostilities; providers are building strictly EU-regulated data centres across Europe; and, earlier this year, Google launched its ‘cloud data boundary’, which gives customers more control over where data is stored and processed, and a ‘user data shelf’ for validating the security of apps built via that data boundary.

However, Frank Karlitschek, the CEO of Nextcloud, which supplies customers including France’s interior ministry and Amnesty International with open-source, self-hosted collaboration software, describes such moves from the hyperscalers as “sovereignty-washing”.

“[The hyperscalers] say they have hosting centres in Europe, so it’s all fine. But the Cloud Act states that if you’re a US organisation, you follow the US law, which means you need to give US agencies access to this data,” Karlitschek said at the press conference.

Is there such demand for/from Romania or is Bucharest a good hub?

If it would have included state/local would that make the relative distance bigger or smaller?
