<p>The difference is you have to sue for e.g. negligence if a term is reasonable but not implied in the contract.<p>In civil law you can sue with an action under contract enforcement, which carries a lighter burden of proof</p>

<p>In most European countries, UK excluded, the law of contracts doesn't work this way.<p>Reasonableness and good faith are implied in contracts. If a clause kills the essence of a contract maliciously, the court will not enforce it.</p>

<p>You were there? No? You watched the taped proceedings then?<p>I don't think you appreciate the way justice becomes irrelevant in fascist and tyrannical countries.<p>The 'show' of fair justice, dispensed with care and deliberation, is something you seem to take for granted.<p>In most countries you get put up against a wall, and shot, for saying the wrong things about the right people.<p>I find your argument uniquely cowardly: Power without justice is a recipe for tyranny. And the position that tyranny should be the norm is something an evil or cowardly person espouses.<p>Yes, there is plenty of atrocity. Pretending the allied behavior is as atrocious as Stalin, Mao, Mussolini, or Hitler, is pretentious relativism.</p>

<p>That's a straw man; There are many cultures that have a strong emphasis on honor/shame mechanics, which in turn drive suicides in those cultures. And which match cultural expectations in a grim kind of way.<p>The fact that people want to change their culture is possibly an early indication of a shift, which could take decades or centuries to actually occur. And such a cultural shift can also lose momentum and be still-born.<p>---<p>I find counting suicides innovative. But if you do it in a global context without looking at the cultures as confounding factor: It's wrong.<p>There are many other confounding factors, such as a forgiving national (personal) bankruptcy regime. The USA has a pretty forgiving regime compared to other countries. But that doesn't mean you can say it correlates with how happy people are. Because - like suicides - the number of people that go bankrupt might not significantly correlate to the average happiness rate. Because a (small) minority of people go bankrupt / commit suicide.<p>It's in fact perfectly reasonable and possible to suppose that a country with higher average suicides and harsher penalties for bankruptcy still ends up higher on the happiness index. Because perhaps health and social-contact / family factors impact the rating more, on average.</p>

<p>Suicides are hugely affected by cultural norms. In certain Asian cultures this has quite the history, so this can't be a correct assumption.</p>

<p>Personally my approach has been to start with big-ints and add a GUID code field if it becomes necessary. And then provide imports where you can match objects based on their code, if you ever need to import/export between tenants, with complex object relationships.<p>But that also adds complexity.</p>

<p>That's not true, because there is a hierarchy of legality.<p>If a principle of the EU legal order is at stake, such as the right to privacy, then that constitutional imperative can very well override a new law.<p>The commission and parliament are well aware of this risk. They often choose to have laws advised on by the courts, in advance. To avoid a legal mess.<p>This is normal in a functional democracy. To avoid abuse of power / overreach by any institution.</p>

<p>It is a trade barrier... For services.
And that's the ciritical bit of information.<p>Most international trade agreements don't cover services in in a comprehensive manner. Because they are so varied and difficult to regulate. E.g. banking, sales, advice, software.<p>For Cloudflare it's obviously of commerical interest to establish a world wide level playing field.<p>I don't see it happening. Certainly not because of US trade interests. Because there is a serious lack of good will towards the USA, basically anywhere in the (rest of the) world right now, and services are a much bigger part of the economy than manufacted produce.<p>The trend I see is to decouple from the US, and China.<p>I genuinely couldn't reccomend my own country to make a deal with the USA on services. Because we already have a serious issue with the dominance of US cloud tech.</p>
