What OP explained isn't arbitration. When you don't pay off your bills, they go through a shortened court process in which you haven't got any representation.

The claimant merely submits their records of the claimee owing them. Then the case is either upheld and the claimee gets 10 days to fight the case or pay before their accounts get impounded, or the case gets thrown out.

The claimee doesn't have any say in the entire process - they can only raise issues after they get the stern letter to pay.

Since there's no representation for one side, it's not arbitration.

If you want specific tasks for designers, here are some:

  1. Expand and reorganize Preferences
  2. Add an actual page for history with dates and times, filter, grouping, etc.
  3. Add an actual page for bookmarks
  4. Add a profiles button to easily switch between them

All of these require intensive input from designers and are a net-positive improvement, as opposed to the 4th redesign of the exact same scope.

Honestly, it won't do much to poison a model. If it can differentiate "this" and "that", it can also differentiate "this" and "þis".

Spank you, I try my belt

Isn't this what the letters mean?

2.) I've always wondered, but didn't want to get flamed for asking: What if you have pet chickens? I don't eat them, they live a great chicken life, but I end up with a ton of eggs that I give to people I know. Obviously those eggs are eaten. Does this count as some kind of horrible animal cruelty?

Hard to say without context. While taking chickens' eggs does sound (and inherently is cruel), not even animal rights types care too much. It's just so ingrained in society.

The difference is when we talk about factory egg farms. Y'know, when they put chikens into their own tiny cage so they can't turn around in it, their head poking out into the feed box, and they can only lay their eggs into a hatch - no collection required.

Then the eggs get inspected, worse sent for birthing new chickens, and better ones being sold.

Then those for breeding chicken get inspected when the gender of the baby can be known, and 99.9% of male eggs get thrown into a fucking shredder (because you only need 1 rooster per 12-ish breeding hens).

This is what most concerned people have an issue with.

Also there was a post in my feed yesterday about 40% of sea shipping being tankers - so using fossil fuels to haul fossil fuels. That's surely more carbon-negative than hauling food.

Yes. Keep the event apolitical by doing the most political thing oit there: kick Russia out, but not Israel.

History will remember.

I hope Italian dockworkers are determined enough to dock imports for a while. Hopefully without armed intervention from the state.

There's the EU-wide ePrivacy directive, explicitly stating (Art. 5):

Member States shall ensure the confidentiality of communications and the related traffic data by means of a public communications network and publicly available electronic communications services, through national legislation. In particular, they shall prohibit listening, tapping, storage or other kinds of interception or surveillance of communications and the related traffic data by persons other than users, without the consent of the users concerned


There's also other EU-wide stuff, like:

Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union (Art. 7):

Everyone has the right to respect for his or her private and family life, home and communications.

European Convention on Human Rights (Art. 6):

Everyone has the right to respect for his private and family life, his home and his correspondence.


Then there's the UN-wide Universal Declaration on Human Rights (Art. 12):

No one shall be subjected to arbitrary interference with his privacy, family, home or correspondence


And as if that wasn't enough, most member states have confidentiality of communications codified in their constitutions. They are:

Belgium (Art. 29):

The confidentiality of letters is inviolable.

Bulgaria (Art. 34):

The freedom and confidentiality of correspondence and all other communications shall be inviolable.

Croatia (Art. 36)*:

Freedom and privacy of correspondence and all other forms of communication shall be guaranteed and inviolable.

Cyprus (Art 17)*:

Every person has the right to respect for, and to the secrecy of, his correspondence and other communication

Czechia (Art. 13)*:

No one may violate the confidentiality of letters or other papers or records.

Denmark (Art. 72)*:

Any breach of the secrecy that shall be observed in postal, telegraph, and telephone matters, shall not take place

Estonia (Art. 43)*:

Everyone has the right to confidentiality of messages sent or received by him or her by post, telegraph, telephone or other commonly used means

Finland (Sec. 10)*:

The secrecy of correspondence, telephony and other confidential communications is inviolable.

Germany (Art. 10)*:

Secrecy of the mail as well as secrecy of the post and telecommunications shall be inviolable"

Greece (Art. 19)*:

Secrecy of letters and all other forms of free correspondence or communication shall be absolutely inviolable

Hungary (Art. VI):

Everyone shall have the right to have his or her private and family life, home, communications and good reputation respected."

Italy (Art. 15)*:

Freedom and confidentiality of correspondence and of every other form of communication is inviolable.

Latvia (Art. 96):

Everyone has the right to inviolability of his or her private life, home and correspondence."

Lithuania (Art. 22):

Personal correspondence, telephone conversations, telegraph messages, and other communications shall be inviolable."

Malta (Art. 41):

No person shall be hindered in the enjoyment of [...] freedom from interference with his correspondence.

Poland (Art. 49):

The freedom and privacy of communication shall be ensured.

Portugal (Art. 34):

Personal homes and the secrecy of correspondence and other means of private communication shall be inviolable.

The Netherlands (Art. 13)*:

The privacy of correspondence shall not be violated, [...] The privacy of the telephone and telegraph shall not be violated

Austria, Luxembourg and France are outliers in that I didn't find anything in their constitutions during my brief little search.

Well, the electoral college isn't actually FPTP, it's even worse than that.

Threats of physical violence are the only tool they have in their toolbox. THE ONLY tool.

And actual gun violence. They're the sniwflakiest and wimpiest of the all, bringing an AK-47 to a civilised discussion and feeling "threatened".

It's not even the highest bidder that gets the data, it's all 1278 data partners. Talk about data prostitution!
