Note that even if Central Europe did have sufficient energy for export it wouldn't really help during crisis. To get the energy to Finland it would need to either go thru the Baltic Sea via undersea cables or via Northern Sweden. We have seen that it's not necessarily good idea to rely on the former during the crisis as those lines can easily be cut, they have been multiple times in just past year or so by certain commercial ships "accidentally" dropping their anchors.
As for latter Sweden, doesn't currently have capacity for it and I don't think they have been very interested in increasing it, currently Finland often benefits from the fact that there isn't enough transport capacity between Southern and Northern Sweden electric grids so Finland gets some cheap electricity from there.
> - Making design choices such as ensuring that E2EE is opt-in by default, rather than opt-out would require people to choose E2EE should they wish to use it, therefore allowing certain detection technologies to work for communication between users that have not opted in to E2EE
So you make it so that when the user starts the application you ask them "Your current configuration allows government, and probably some hackers as well, to see your messages. Do you want to enable encryption? Your government's suggestion is that you should say 'No' here. That's also what the foreign intelligence agencies suggest" "Yes, enable encryption" "No". That's clearly opt-in, you even provide the government's recommendation. And of course you then ask that whenever they open the application if they selected "No", we have learned that it's completely fine to keep asking same question from the user.
Oh, and make sure that the other party is clearly aware that the other side has not enabled encryption.
You should probably look into pseudononymization in your case, not actual anonymization. Look into C‑413/23 P in more detail to see if it's applicable in your situation, it's essentially the first case law around it. You probably do need some extra controls (like contract that the data is not shared) just in case to avoid the data coming in hands of someone else who could identify the people depending on how detailed the data is.
> The new proposal which suggests that pseudonymized data is not always PII is a different thing.
This actually is already the case, see the recent CJEU C‑413/23 P. Currently the main question is if the recipient has a way to unmask the user. In case of IP address the answer is almost always yes since the recipient could ask competent authority to unmask the IP address if there is crime involved. That was the exact reasoning provided in the Breyer case.
In C‑413/23 P the recipient didn't have any reasonable way to map the opinion to real person so it was determined that it's not PII from recipient's POV but it was from the data controller's.
One of the issues in the new proposal is that it lowers the standard quite a bit compared to C‑413/23 P.
Other would be to use goto (though Python doesn't have it) & introduce something that will panic/throw exception, like creating variable with value 1/(max-i).
> But also, how did 2 billion email addresses get exposed?
The list contains emails which have been part of some other breaches. In my domain I have 2 emails that were exposed that weren't my normal email address. One of them was a typo that I used sign up for one service which was later breached. The other one was something someone used to register to service that I have never used & that service was later breached. Those emails have never been used for anything else as far as I'm aware.
Of course judging from what posted there are likely some other services as well which were breached but wasn't noticed/published until now.
My understanding is that many of them can be wired as 1, 2 or 3 phase at least in Nordic countries, though admittedly the ones which allow 3 are somewhat rarer especially when looking at stove top-only models (not combined stove+oven).
As far as I can tell, there are a single digit number of municipalities on the planet where two phase power is available. Do you have more details on that I can read? There's not a ton of.info on Wikipedia and I'm interested to know more.
That link isn't really a source for residential 3-phase power.
Almost every electrical network is 3 phase distribution, the matter under debate is if you bring every phase to each house, or if a phase reaches every third house.
Anecdotally I have never seen an electrical panel without three phases, but when I went looking it was like trying to find a source for the fact the sky is blue.
In recent case I quoted the actual law & caselaw and the response I got was that I need to contact the marketing carrier and they will stop responding now. Funnily enough, the carrier I was in contact with was the marketing carrier (as background, codeshare flight was cancelled almost month earlier but I was never informed & I only discovered it when I went to airport).
NEB in Finland is Traficom, but they don't handle individual complaints. Those handled by Consumer Advisory Services and European Consumer Center & these are residence based as far as I understand (I'm Finnish citizen but I don't live in EU).
The only alternative to court is Consumer Disputes Board but their resolutions are just recommendations & Finnair has a long history of ignoring them so spending 2-3 years there seems like waste of time.
In my case, I filed a complaint with Iceland air regulatory authority, even though
I lived in canada at a time, and when I told Icelandair I had done that, they suddenly became very proactive.
There are also firms that handle all of this for you for a % (in the region of 20%). They validate the claim and threaten ti take the airline to court if they don’t pay out.
I generally go direct to the airline these days but if I get pushback beyond what I’m willing to deal with myself, I’ll use one of those services.
Very common in Germany. Non-existant in Finland. Finnish consumer rights are very weak, they only work if the business cooperates[1]. Finnair is a state-owned company that acts like if they were legislation and courts themselves. I have avoided them as much as I can for many years.
[1] Probably the majority of businesses does. But shady used car dealers etc. and Finnair don't.
