  My unfounded guess is that they sell products that normally compete with a soon to be crippled US market, so their products can fill the void. Think car sales from China to the EU after the tarrifs cripple manufacturing, for example.

  Please don’t lump trademarks with the rest. Makers have stamped their goods with their mark since ancient times, both as advertising and to signify quality products (and not knockoffs). Swords were especially commonly marked with the smith’s trademark.

  It was illegal to sell bread in ancient Rome without a trademark, for example. The punishments for doing so were harsh, as they wanted to be able to track down the baker if someone sold tainted bread.

  In modern days, they’re useful for customers to know what company they’re buying from.

  Wow, it’s almost like there might be people with different opinions that use Linux and Linux users aren’t a single hivemind.

  Yeah, I work daily with a database with a very important non-ID field that is denormalized throughout most of the database. It’s not a common design pattern, but it is done from time to time.

  It’s necessary to split it out into different tables if you have a one-to-many relationships. Let’s say you have a list of driver licenses the person has had over the years, for example. Then you’d need the second table. So something like this:

  SSN_TABLE

  ID | SSN | Other info

  Driver_License_Table

  ID | SSN_ID | Issue_Date | Expiry_Date | Other_Info

  Then you could do something like pull up a person’s latest driver’s license, or list all the ones they had, or pull up the SSN associated with that person.

  Theoretically, yeah, that’s one solution. The more reasonable thing to do would be to use the foreign key though. So, for example:

  SSN Table ID | SSN | Other info

  Other Table ID | SSN ID | Other info

  When you want to connect them to have both sets of info, it’d be the following:

  SELECT * FROM SSN_Table JOIN Other_Table ON SSN_Table.ID = Other_Table.SSN_ID

  There is a legitimate argument to be made with reasonable people on both sides as to exactly how old is old enough to confidently say that there’s not a power imbalance due to age alone. Whether that’s 18, 21, 24 or some other number inbetween is an open question.

  30+? If they wanna date somebody more than double their age, that’s completely their business.

  Non-German but I am in the EU. Didn’t find it odd at all. Just assumed it was “flow market” in German.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Norway is mulling building a fence on its border with Russia, following Finland's example⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  "A border fence is very interesting, not only because it can act as a deterrent but also because it contains sensors and technology that allow you to detect if people are moving close to the border,” Justice Minister Emilie Enger Mehl said

  A fence won’t stop anyone, but it can detect people, which sounds like the point.
