Yeah, I guess I’d just like to see some case law or something to back up the idea. Or to know the specific law that says that US companies have to follow EU rules or they can be prosecuted in a US court.
I did. The best I’ve found is that US companies have to follow GDPR because it says it’s reach is international, and this has never been tested in court. Any specific cases are always related to big tech which EU courts can hurt, as far as I can tell there has never been any test of the reach for a site like in the OP.
Sorry but I went off on a thread with someone else and now I really need to know what this is based on. As far as I can tell, GDPR’s international reach has never been tested, there is no specific legislation I can find, and any companies big enough for the EU to care also operate in the EU so can be hurt by EU courts (as in, pay the fine or no more Facebook in Europe).
I’m being down voted to hell for asking a question but I still want some confirmation of the answer backed up by something.
I accidentally bought 1kg of espresso-ground coffee, so drinking lots at the moment! I was intending to get beans which would hold their flavour for longer. I’m also using an aeropress and espresso grind is a bit hard to use in that.
I was at Briscoes and saw coffee machines and thought oh, maybe I should get an espresso machine to use with my espresso grind coffee! I don’t know what I was expecting a small, basic espresso machine to cost but I was not expecting them to start at $400 and go up, up, up from there!
Anyone got a small sized espresso machine (doesn’t take much bench space) that makes coffee and froths milk that they can recommend?
Or put another way, what’s the cheapest machine worth having?
Thanks! Looks like this one is currently on special, $150 off so now only $400 😆. I’ll keep an eye on it, I might be willing to spent $250 if it makes good coffee. Thanks for the recommendation!
The only thing that currently stands out, and it a tad annoying, is the aids amplify my own voice when I speak. Makes to me my voice sound echoey and louder than I’m used to.
A quick search and it seems it’s normal you’ll probably get used to it, but also there are some specific things that can make it worse so if you have a follow up appointment then mention it then as there might be some adjustments that can help to some minor extent.
I also saw mention of specific hearing aids that you can train your voice on and it filters it out. But I’m assuming they come at a premium.
The (orginal) idea of a target of 1-3%ish (depending on country) is that you want inflation small so businesses can ignore it for their planning. A business will avoid spending and possibly lay off people if they are expecting big increases in costs coming up.
“Good” inflation is driven by demand. Company doing well -> expand -> need more staff -> not enough people in job market -> have to raise prices to pay higher salaries to attract staff = inflation.
Bad inflation is more like: sales down -> cut staff to save costs -> less people have disposable income because they are losing their jobs -> sales down even more -> have to charge more per item because low sales remove economy of scale benefits = inflation
Deflation is a sign that the second one is starting. Sales down, so companies cut prices to try to get their sales up, they then have to cut jobs to stay afloat with lower prices, then those people cut don’t have disposable income so sales fall further.
You may have noticed the problem, which is that issues with inflation impact employees. Deflation is bad for employees. Inflation is bad for employees. Most larger companies are fine either way.
First, pick some to do software. Start adding things as you remember them, and ticking them off as you do the. Soon you will find you are adding things to the list much faster than you are ticking them off!
Now here’s the trick: find some new to do software, and start adding your to dos to that one instead! Ignore the previous list.
I don’t quite understand. Why is the third point necessary if the second point exists?
And what do gender neutral toilets looks like in the UK currently if having self-contained toilets isn’t it? I’ve never seen gender neutral toilets with American door gaps.
This is dumb. I can’t think of any way to enforce it, and although this obviously won’t pass and is just grandstanding I still pity the people having to think of how they can write guidance for the hospitality industry.
We already issue IDs to people in the sex they want. If you want a passport in a different sex than your birth certificate, you can have it, all you have to do is fill in a statutory declaration at the time of applying for your passport.
So if a trans man wants to go to the bathroom, do they use the women’s since they were born female, or do they use the men’s since they look male and have male ID?
I haven’t heard of them, but if someone advertised unlimited internet and cut you off for 400GB of data then I think they would get in trouble for false advertising. If you average 400GB a month and occasionally hit 700 or 1TB I wouldn’t expect to have issues.
I often hit 5TB+ and never even considered I might hit a fair use policy. 1TB or less is well within the “I just watch a lot of Netflix” defence and so I wouldn’t be too worried about it.
Yeah, you usage is pretty normal these days, for the reason you describe. You’re not the only one having to download 80GB updates or 150GB games off Steam, pretty common these days.
Here’s our usage for the past few months. Just changed to this ISP in December which is why that’s so low:
It did actually surprise me to learn how much we use. At the last ISP they didn’t tell you how much you used, so I never knew. When we switched to this ISP I thought something must be wrong 😆
