The judge noted that given the publicity of the case, Henriks true penalty would be living in a country of 6 million people that all know his face and that he is a pedophile.
You don’t have to worry about him doing anything in Politics again. This isn’t the US after all…
No one with evidence of that quality would ever be elected in national politics in the US again. Say what you will about Trump but there is no evidence that he possesses CP.
Moreover, nobody with that quality of evidence against them would be sentenced to only 4 months - laxity for CSAM possessors is a european phenomenon and most pro-pedophilia activist groups are based in Europe. The average sentence for CSAM possession in the US is 70 months.
US also has the highest rate of imprisoned people in the world, I wouldn't follow them on sentencing. If revictivism is lower for short sentences then there is no reason to have long sentences, it isn't about punishing people it is about reducing problems for the rest of society.
> Henriks true penalty would be living in a country of 6 million people that all know his face and that he is a pedophile.
This is what I object to, not really your comment. Is this factored into the sentencing? If he weren't a public figure would he have a harsher sentence?
> You don’t have to worry about him doing anything in Politics again
Sure, if everyone in Denmark remembers this guy then he won't be popular. But really we don't have to worry about him? 4 months later is he just free to go back to collecting CP, maybe leave Denmark, etc?
>>Nordic Waste is owned by the family of Torben Østergaard-Nielsen, reported to be the sixth richest person in Denmark. Last week, the Danish Ministry of the Environment issued an injunction against Nordic waste, and yesterday (22 January 2024) the company was declared bankrupt. The company has declared that this ends Nordic Waste’s liabilities.
It sounds like they're like the Dutch. The government is trusted because they've been shown to be trustworthy, but they are always accountable. If something dodgy happens, people are quick to point it out and demand action.
So it's not blind trust. I understand why Americans are so mistrusting of their government, it's because they are untrustworthy. The mistake is thinking everywhere in the world is like that.
Hummelgaard and his colleagues have repeatedly demonstrated that they believe a backdoor can be made that would only be used occasionally only by the right authorities. Even some of the opposition seems to believe this.
When discussing politics in foreign countries, consider how much context you are missing. Those of us that live in the country and speak the language have consumed its news for years.
HN discussions about politics in foreign countries are bizarre
>Hummelgaard and his colleagues have repeatedly demonstrated that they believe a backdoor can be made that would only be used occasionally only by the right authorities.
That's what every politician would say about restricting privacy, it's for the kids, it's in the right hands, we would never betray your trust.
>HN discussions about politics in foreign countries are bizarre
No really bizarre is your believe that 42yo -->justice<-- minister Hummelgaard is just a naive child who knows nothing about "Internet stuff"
In his own words: "We must break with the totally erroneous perception that it is everyone's civil liberty to communicate on encrypted messaging services"
Jup the guy who was probably killed by his own military because talking with the USSR is against Nato strategy [1] funny how history repeats itself [2]
If you are so sure about that why wouldn’t they make it a domestic law instead of an EU wide law? I’m not American nor Danish and I certainly do not trust my government. Kind of naive - no one should trust their government in this day and age.
It’s also convenient that Denmark is essentially the US’ eyes and ears in Europe, who even spied on other nations for them.
Having a largely non corrupt government that enjoys the trust of the general population yields benefits on all levels of society. Its a big part of the reason these countries are the happiest and healthiest.
lol, all the americans on this site giving their take our how our politics work or what motivates our politicians is always entertaining…
Guys, our Justice Minister is not trying to spy on citizens. He is not some cartoon villain.. He is just incompetent. He doesn’t understand the technical arguments. He wants to curb the distribution of child abuse material (who wouldn’t) and does not understand that you can’t make backdoors for the police only
it really depends on how much syntactic sugar you add.
You could go back 13 years, show somebody some JSX and ask them what language they think it is and nobody would be well that's obviously JavaScript with a bit of sugar on top.
> It would be best to think of it as syntax sugar for create Element() function calls
Thats what makes it a new language. C is just sugar on top of assembly.
Its so strange that jsx needs a buildstep, but misses ton of obvious ergonomics that one could have added. Why className
instead of class? With a buildstep, it would surely be possible to determine if class was a keyword or not based on context
> Thats what makes it a new language. C is just sugar on top of assembly.
I think that's a bad example. C isn't a sugar for assembly: For example what assembly code does a function prototype desugar into? Sugars have 1:1 mappings with host code
Maybe you're just being rhetorical about the spectrum of macros, sugars, and languages, though.
(In my opinion, a better target for that criticism, in JS land, is the Jest test framework, because of all the reordering magic it does that break fundamental ES semantics)
> Why className instead of class?
This hasn't been a constraint since... I want to say React 18, six or seven years ago? I might be misremembering the history but I think that was only a problem in the Early Days when there was paranoia about whether JSX needed to be conservative with reserved keywords
Syntax sugar is language syntax that improves a common pattern from the language (making it sweater). jsx, async/await - things that just abstract common patterns.
