It says "Continue to MapTiler Cloud" in the bottom right corner. https://www.maptiler.com/cloud/

Looks like it's an online map editor/map viewer that supports both vector an raster images.

The method used to calculate the fines is the same for every company. You can review it here: https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/HTML/?uri=CEL...

Seems perfectly reasonable to me.

They've fined plenty of EU-based companies as well.

Nitrokey is open source (hardware and software). They claim the "installed firmware can be exported and verified, preventing attackers from inserting backdoors into products during shipping". (https://www.nitrokey.com/)

They list Google as one of their customers.

Glenfarclas and Glendronach are are both great alternatives to Macallan. Glendronach is a bit too sweet for my taste though and since Glenfarclas is much more affordable (at least here in Germany) I always recommend that one first.

Laphroaig, Ardbeg or maybe the distillers editions from Lagavulin and Talisker. Islay is pretty small so you don't really have that many options.

Since you like Macallan (I assume sherry oak?) you might like one of the older Glenfarclas (for the example the 25yo).

I don't know how whiskies are priced in the US but the "cheapest" whisky I like is Tullibardine 228 (burgundy finish). I think I payed 30€ for it. Glenmorangie Quinta Ruban (port finish) is also very affordable.

Aberlour doesn't really fit in here but the 15yo and 18yo are worth checking out if you haven't already.

IIRC Mercedes wasn't caught cheating they just got in trouble because they use the same engine control units which contain the routines that make cheating possible.

I don't get it. How is giving more rights to researchers restricting startups?

They're copyright exceptions, not restrictions, meaning you don't need a license to process copyrighted data for scientific research.

The website in question is this one: https://augsburgfuerkrawalltouristen.noblogs.org/

Apparently the authors use a Riseup email account.

> The website called for violence.

That's actually true. I don't know why both the CCC and Riseup feel the need to exclude that the website explicitly asked for violent protests. It doesn't change the fact that the raids were pointless and to some extend disproportionate. It sure is a good way to give up the moral high ground though.
