Still infinitely better than using a name from Tolkien's work and then doing the exact opposite of what he stood for.

I have lots of criticisms of the EU and the censorship is lamentable, but this sounds like whataboutism to me. The EU does more for certification than other governments, but even they can't do everything. Is the US going against any of

Love that list of the internet's favourite exclaves. (Ignoring French Guyana counts as a crime, though.)

The map also disregards the Dutch/French border on Sint Maarten/Saint Martin, or the UK/Spain one at Gibraltar. In fact, I can't find the Dutch Caribbean anywhere. So I guess a lot of those small islands and borders were

Please bring your actual argument instead of insinuating stuff. Anyway, the EU's reasons seem to be entirely legitimate to me.

That's... a matter of interpretation, if I'm reading the news of what's happening over there. I'm quite happy we got the 2.0 version of separation of powers here, as well as a constitution that's a little less set i

Wow. If that is true, the US is an even more weird and unreliable country to live in than I thought, and I thank the Lord that I live in Europe.

To be sure, there's a good discussion to be had about this, whether it should be the parliament or the judiciary that can rule over this, or both, and different countries have different balances in this area. Generally speaking however

Parts of it still work, but the core is rotten.

The first one I can understand from history (although I do not agree for modern times). But the right to accurate information from public officials, I thought that was indeed an absolute and basic right in a democracy, and it should very

I'm curious why that is a loophole at all. Post offices are traditionally closed on Sundays all over Europe as far as I know, so sending or retrieving packages on Sunday is not a fundamental right or something. (And if you really want

The website of the Reformatorisch Dagblad, a christian newspaper (of a very strict Reformed variety) in the Netherlands, is closed on Sundays as well. https://www.rd.nl/

While I am generally against geolocation use by websites, it would be cool to have a website that closed when it's Sunday where you are.

And then there are diatonic accordions, which all use a similar layout both for the bass and melody sides (but you can't play in all keys[0] on them, that's the difference between chromatic and diatonic). While they are simpler th

The 3rd level .name domains are the original ones. They didn't hand out 2nd level domains until three years after they started.

It wouldn't surprise me if that is (maybe even a large) part of the reason for this change.

I even suspect that the name of the child was dependent on the domain name being free... but then, it shouldn't be too hard to set up the request in advance and just press the button once the child is born. Maybe there was some rule th

Yes, I read that in other comments too, and it's the main factoid for me to take away.

There has been a lot of EU-bashing in general for many years of course, but I hadn't noticed an uptick on HN yet.
