    I am once again happy that the EU is fighting practices like these via legislation.

    Some outcomes can be annoying, but the net result is still positive, for the consumers and their data privacy at least.

        > The outcome is that very little serious technology or influential companies come out of Europe. And salaries for things like engineer are about a third of that in the US.

        So your argument is abusive practices are required for the creation of influential companies, serious technology, and high paying salaries?

          No but overly burdensome regulatory bodies that are concerned about such things like how the top of my bottle cap functions and how low i set my ac temp leads to an incredibly hostile business environment and stagnant culture.

          But like I said, nice place to visit for the time being.

            The obsession with ACs in some places (or rather people I guess) is something I will never sympathize with. Just wear reasonable clothes for the weather, no need to cool down below 20° C. And yes, I'm going to die on that hill.

              We're talking about mid 30's to low 40's here. I can only get so naked.

              But I don't tend to keep my AC below 24 personally. I don't need my room to be perfect room temper2
