There's a book that addresses that, and might be helpful to you: "When I Say No, I Feel Guilty" - Manuel J. Smith

It might not even be needed to actually perform the refund, but just agree to it.

Like the recent example of the air travel refund, that a court forced the company to fulfil.

It will lead to lots of "disclaimer, whatever reply you get is not legaly binding. Try to reach a human (lol)"

This seems like the early days of search engines and seo poisoning, where random sites were referencing others to make them climb up the search results.

> Some say the store has an ethical duty to reunite people with their lost luggage — especially highly personal items, like jewelry inscribed with names and dates, or electronics with identifiable information.

> But historically, the store has maintained it has a business to run.

"I see this iPad or this laptop has your info, and I could contact you but hey... Tough luck"

Yes, although that doesn't seem correct. That would be 7500 a year.

When they say the founder was buying 3k a month, either the RF ids are great at reducing the losses worldwide, or something is wrong with those numbers.

I did. Are you saying 25m bags have absolutely no information on them? Absolutely zero?

When it was founded 50 Yeats ago _maybe_ it made sense because technology was not that advanced.

Now I'd say it's a company selling stolen goods.

Airlines know who is the owner of that luggage. They have the sticker with flight, booking number, they have the contact details of the owner, and most owners put a tag with their contact info on the luggage.

They were hired to provide the sole service of transporting the luggage and owner from A to B. It's their only job. And they fail and steal your belongings and sell it for a profit, to a fence

I'm sure it's a problem, and the degree of "problem" depends on the importance of the mail.

I think the real problem is that we are delegating to google the arbitrary decision of what is spam or not. Given that their core business in great part relies on syphoning info from users' mails, they have zero incentive to let users host their own servers and potentially bypass that data collection, and an actual incemtive to block as many domains as they can, for the sake of "safety"

Am I missing something? What stops a company from imposing enormous fees on a competitor?

By continuously installing/uninstalling the competitor's app they can even make their business unsustainable. And more, what would stop apple from hiring a third party to do that, just to inflate their own profit?

So what's the point? To maximise profits while making humanity worse off? Why can't we all benefit from the start?

It's a sick system, perpetuated by sick people

Portugal has lots of different cheeses (and wine, olive oil, sausages, ...)

The link below lists only the protected ones.

Sea Shepherd puts it well:

How to save the ocean:

1) Don't eat marine animals

2) Be a voice for marine animals

3) Repeat steps 1 and 2

I believe that the question should be the other way around:

Why is it that you have to lose your anonimity when you are on the internet? The real world always allowed that until it became dependent on surveillance capitalism. Of course you need to prove you're yourself for some things, but that should be the exception. You could always look things up at your local library while being anonymous (for checking out you'd need a card), you could call from a payphone while being anonymous, you could use coins (cash in general) while being anonymous.

Anonimity was the rule and should still be the rule

They have it better now, until they don't...

Who knows which change in the wind would make Musk change his opinion and make conditions worse (see "I'm a free speech absolutist (until I'm not, and I shut up every voice opposing me)".

With a collective agreement, he can throw as many tantrums he wants and the workers will be protected.

> you will no longer be able to watch any of your previously purchased Discovery content and the content will be removed

Content you purchased. Their wording. Not content you rented, not license you paid for.

They are effectively stealing the content you purchased.

I suppose this is about the physical license plates, that can't be held at postnord - maybe very specific for being license plates.

The next step will be at transportstyrelsen they will just strike and refuse to issue the license plates.

No license plates issued, none to be delivered

Youtube may very well charge for whatever they want. But pretending to offer the service for free and looking at your information (in the form of browser capabilities and other PII), is like you entering a store and the owner going through your wallet just because you want to browse around

> nobody

Nobody, no, but certainly companies which you entered an agreement with, and paid for the transportation of yourself and your property.

It's inexcusable that with the current existing technology companies "lose" your luggage due to anything other than bad-faith.

In the article they emphasise "all batteries", so I suppose it includes phones

Good thing European union didn't hear you, then: https://www.consilium.europa.eu/en/press/press-releases/2023...

From 2027, all batteries must be replaceable, FTA:

"The regulation of the European Parliament and the Council will apply to all batteries including all waste portable batteries, electric vehicle batteries, industrial batteries, starting, lighting and ignition (SLI) batteries (used mostly for vehicles and machinery) and batteries for light means of transport (e.g. electric bikes, e-mopeds, e-scooters)."

"The regulation provides that by 2027 portable batteries incorporated into appliances should be removable and replaceable by the end-user"

Not necessarily. They can be profitable without being greedy.

In this case they could have just said "we don't have capacity to fulfill all new demands, we can happily run at full capacity, and charge more if needed". Other companies could have taken up the slack, new businesses popping up, etc. Instead, they recruited people who prioritised this new job, just to be let go.

Then they should have hired contractors for the specific timeframe, no?

Otherwise it's just corporate greed: we know we'll have a surge in demand, so we buy new vessels and containers and manpower to last us 2 years; we make huge profits, discard this surplus and blame it on the "new normal" (FTA)

If the person had applied for a credit card, used it, then refused to pay because the name is different from his legal one, I suppose it would be quickly fixed

> Twixtter?

I call it PP-kat (platform previously known as twitter).

True, but you have a bigger user base and if there's any document exfiltration or compromise, it's more likely other people will notice too.

Yes, with open source you can look at the source, but who analyses the whole codebase before compiling anything?

On the same line, watt for watt, pen and paper demolishes anything Apple has to offer. Now and forever.

One single, isolated metric is not the way to compare things

In Europe price labels have to have the price per kg or per unit (eg box of dishwasher tablets), so that you can easily compare.

I wouldn't say it's by law, I'd say it's governed by the unions.

If the company you're applying to doesn't have CBA, you might not have some benefits you might be taking for granted, namely pension (ITP)

Odometer reading might be tricky in places like Europe where you have lots of countries next to each other, and cross borders often.

If someone has a car registered in Luxembourg and drives mainly around France, Germany, Belgium, it would be difficult to define where the tax should go
