I don't use Facebook for posting or reading "private" stuff anymore, but I still use it for organising and sharing events and group pages, and for communication and information sharing with people in these groups and events.
Tried using Discord, but it sucks for these things.
What are "young people" moving to for handling stuff like special interest groups, clubs and club activities, events, polls, chats/group chats? =/

Well, in many countries they are at least banned in many places where the smoker would actively hurt others with their smoking. You no longer have to be exposed to cigarette smoke at work, restaurants, bars, trains/busses/planes, shopping centers, etc, etc.

Something to try out, if you haven't already tried this route;
Set up a WSUS server and set your machines to update via that.
Then set up the WSUS to require explicit approval of all updates.
Now no one should get any updates unless it's been explicitly approved by an administrator.
If you already have Enterprise client licenses, an Active Directory environment, and are using a Windows file server, you probably already have all licenses and infrastructure required for setting this up.

Not even behinds the scenes. The GDPR-rules that will be implemented by 25 May 2018 stipulates, among other thing, that any organization that collects or process data about EU citizens must get consent and inform the individual about what is collected and how it will be used.
The fine for non-compliance is up to 20,000,000 EUR or up to 4% of the annual worldwide turnover, whichever is higher. Not exactly peanuts.
A good guess is that this is a preparatory move to ensure that they are complying with this when it hits.

Next should be something akin to "Ångkokt Ål" or "Ångerful Åländare".

Regardless of this, why shouldn't food be labeled with that it is?
If you want to buy genetically modified products since they're less environmentally straining, or for other reasons like higher nutrient values or such, you must have labels to be able to make this choice.
If want to stay away from genetically modified products due to being afraid of potential harm, or other reasons, you must also have labels to be able to make this choice.
What your choice or reasons are is irrelevant to the question of labeling food. Without relevant labeling, you have no freedom to choose what you eat.

I don't understand the problem with simply specifying what they are selling?
And as a consumer, regardless of if you are for or against the creation, use and spread of genetically modified organisms, why would you ever not want your food labeled with what it is?
For instance, where I live, food is usually labeled with where it has been produced and where it's been packaged. Since I think needlessly long transports of goods are idiotic, I tend to buy as locally produced and handled meat and vegetables as possible, even if it sometimes is a bit more expensive due to my country's high cost of labor and strict regulations on how you are allowed to treat your animals and what pesticides you allowed to use.
If the food hadn't been labeled, I wouldn't have the freedom of choosing where I want my food produced and packaged.
Same thing with actively genemanipulated food. If it isn't labeled, I am not free to choose if I want to buy "naturally" breed products or if I want to buy genetically modified products. That freedom is dependent on the producers informing me of what they're selling me.

It ought to be obvious for any sane person that the one who authorized the deployment of the autonomous weapon must be held criminally responsible for any civilian casualties or war crimes this authorization leads to.

A very good point, and one that often is missed when talking about scientific subject.
But one also has to differentiate between what is reported that a scientist, a group of scientists, or a scientific study says, and what they actually say.
Quite often, what is reported is a complete misinterpretation of what was said, or is being intentionally made wrong in order to make a sensationalistic headline.

One other thing that is often missed or ignored by media reporting on scientific matters is that there often are different possible explanations, and that different scientists work on different studies of the same thing at the same time and might come to conflicting conclusions that are both as probable.
Scientists or science is often referred to as one coherent group with one mind. =P

By not eating or drinking a lot of sugar or sweeteners all the time, you will also rather quickly remove your "resistance" to sweetness, so you'll automatically start to avoid a lot of food simply because it tastes horrible due to being way to sweet.

Having fines for breaking the law being a percentage of your income isn't about punishing rich people for being rich.
It's about having the fine being a deterrent to crime.
If a fine is 0.00001% of your yearly income, you might not really care if you are fined or not.
If a fine is 10% of your yearly income, you might be more reluctant to break the law that would give you said fine.

What I always wonder when I read about laser weapons is how they affect unprotected eyes of people in the vicinity of the weapon or the target.
When laser weaponry is finally deployed in military forces and used in places where you can not be certain that civilians aren't in the area, will said military then be making civilians blind?
If so, laser weapons should be made illegal.

Or is the range at which the laser is damaging to eyes so small that it isn't a problem?

This is why you should have off-site data duplication.

This is why many professionals choose to either buy equipment that comes with, or pay a little bit extra for, 3 year on-site next business day hardware service that includes replacement parts.
The key here is "on-site". Unfortunately for people who uses software that require OS X, Apple doesn't offer this.

Well. Showing that they're capable of non-trivial engineering feats, like launching payload into Mars orbit, might create more international business for local industries. So it might be good for more than creating patriotic feelings in the populace.
