dogs were domesticated because they could be trained to locate buried vcr's by scent

Exactly, and switching hubs can broadcast the traffic to particular ports depending on the subnet

I agree but what Dmitry is saying about GDPR isn't right, it's not in any way a global standard. It's a bad EU idea that the rest of the world applies to people with EU (or UK) IP addresses. The UK could stop doing it to itself if it chose. The British kept it because they love bureaucratic bullshit

There's no need to force anyone to do anything. Any website that is already serving substantial numbers of users outside EU+UK etc already has logic that says "if it's on the list of cookie warnings bullshit countries do the cookie warning bullshit", they can and will update their list of countries

I totally get the logic but I live in an a non-UK, non-EU country and I am telling you no, this is absolutely not what happens. Websites are already customized for what they know about each user, it's not like an electrical item where you'd have to worry about the physical location of each box

No, you geolocate and only waste the user's time on them when it's legally mandated. I'm in Japan and I hardly ever see them. None of the big US websites foist them on me, only occasionally European sites that don't expect to have non-European users. I go to Britain and they're suddenly everywhere

Counterpoint: Cookie warnings. Why do the British still have cookie warnings. They could just stop doing that to themselves

I love words, and also switching hubs

I was an MoJ statistician from 2013-15. Guns are practically impossible to acquire for crime. Gangs "rent" guns (linking seemingly unrelated crimes). Bullets are almost impossible purchase. The most common firearm offences were owning an imitation gun, improper storage, or recommissioning antiques.

The practical problem is that the kind of person who wants to spend their time curating a list of bad people usually also has a rich collection of Eccentric Beefs.

In theory we can fix this with better tools to rate/discover which ones actually do what they say on the tin

I don't think anyone ever expected that it would protect countries that weren't a member of it?

Although ideally it would also be able to swivel

Perfect, I need this exact chair

It was a pile of ambiguous mush because they wanted to be able to decide which presidents were allowed to commit crimes and which presidents weren't

What that article suggests is that had the prosecution happened sooner SCOTUS wouldn't have let him off, but there is no evidence for this of any kind

Assuming the Supreme Court's goal was to get him off which seems like a safe assumption you can't assume they'd have stalled for the same amount of time and handed down the same ruling. They did what they had to to get him off, and they had all the power necessary to do that regardless of timing
