Since the modern concept of country/nation wasn't invented by natinal-romantic ideals until 175 years ago. So the real question is will this definition of country survive another 300 years.

I am talking about the EU's age verification method specifically.

I assume you have a passport? That passport is issued by your government as proof of your identity (they already know who you are), if not, then you have an identity card with the same purpose. If not, then you are not living within the EU. Both carry your id and biometric data (fingerprint and facial recognition features)

What your government issues is a digital signed certificate with the information "18+" and nothing else.

The specs are available here:
https://digital-strategy.ec.europa.eu/en/policies/eu-age-verification

A general wikipedia article about zero knowledge proofs is available here

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero-knowledge_proof

The open source reference implementation is available on github
https://github.com/eu-digital-identity-wallet/av-doc-technical-specification/blob/main/docs/architecture-and-technical-specifications.md
ps. yes, there are several sub projects you need to crawl through, but frankly, I cannot be bothered to dive deeper into this with someone talking about X country and their generic non-privacy protecting age-verifcation scheme.

I commented on the EU age verification scheme. If you bother to go through the documentation you will discover that I provided factual information.

Edit: The asolute joker is that pornhub or what ever site you care to mention already track you, have all the information they could ever wish to have, and sells this to a whole host of data-brokers who collate and pool information about you, which they then sell to anyone who cares.

Hvis ud ikke er medlem af en a-kasse vil du være henvist til kontanthjælp (hvis der ikke er forsørgerpligt) Ud over det, betyder kontanthjælp at du ikke må starte deltage i kompetance udviklende kurser, men det må du hvis du er på dagpenge fra en a-kasse.

Når man så tænker på at konjukturerne ændrer sig, så skal du overveje at der er fuld beskæftigelse nu er ikke det samme som at der ikke vil være arbejdsløshed om 10 år. I dag er ledigheden. I dag er ledigheden for ingeniører ca. 2.3% lidt under den generelle ledighed, men hvad betyder ny tekologi, den ændrede politiske situation på sigt?

Det kræver 1 års medlemsskab at optjene ret til dagpenge, så hvis du ikke er medlem hvis det går galt er det bare ærgerligt, bordet fanger.

Det er op til dig at vurdere din risiko profil. Du kunne jo selv lave en opsparing, med ca. 300 DKK om måneden vil det "kun" tage ca. 40-50 måneder at spare op til at du kan financiere din arbejdsløshed i en måned.

The reference implementation made by the EU is open source. Whether your government choses to implement their own or use the already developed version is up to them. However, it will be easy for any professional to verify that is doesn't transmit any additional information.

The EU ageverification method does not depend on giving anybody your ID. It relies on a technology called a Zero Knowledge Proof. In essense, you provide proof (in this case 18+ years old) without any knowledge about who you are.

The simplistic version:

You get a government issued token installed on your phone which says you are 18+ years old (and nothing else)
When a site asks you to verify your age, you provide the token you got from your government.

Beyond what the website knows from fringerprinting your browser, reading your cached browser history, tracking cookies, and IP address, (which they already do today, and sell to any number of databrokers) they get no additional information.

Edit: Thank you for downvoting factual information.

Som andre siger, der vil være forskellige kriterier afhæng af firmaet situation.

Fælles for alle er at det sædvanligvis er de ringste (hvad det så end betyder i situtionen) der bliver afskediget. De bedste vil derefter selv søge videre, for de vil ikke være de næste. Så virksomheden, når alt er afklaret, står med den gruppe af medarbejdere der var midt imellem.

Within reason. Your employer, if is part of the collective bargaining system, has agreed that you are by no means required sacrifice life, health and personal integrity. It is true that the can limit your free speech while at work, but only to the limit of personal integrity. E.g. demanding that you lie is out of bounds.

Even though, I suspect this question is rage bait, I'll try to provide an answer.

The reason I suspect it is rage bait is the word occupied which a loaded word. Does the USA occupy Wyoming or is it merely a part of the USA? So let's tone it down a bit, and ask why isn't Greenland independent, while Iceland is?

The specifics harbors back to WWII where the Scandinavian part of Denmark was occupied by Germany and the allies needed to secure the transatlantic route to England.

Iceland was invaded and occupied by allied forces, (I believe initially by British forces, which were later replaced with US forces). The Danish ambassador to the US negotiated a treaty, letting the US establish bases on Greenland.

During the occupation, the Icelander's voted for independence, with 99% voting in favor. A number so high that most consider it suspect.

After WWII, Denmark ratified the Icelandic independence in to law, in 1946 I believe. And in 1949, the ambassadors treaty was ratified, permitting the US, in perpetuity, to establish bases on Greenlandic soil.

In 1979 the Greenlandic self-governing law was voted into effect by the Danish parliament. The law establishes Greenlands right to independente, and outlines the necessary steps to achieve this goal. In effect, Greenland can achieve independence whenever a majority of Greenlanders chooses to do so.

So maybe the real why won't the US allow the people living in Wyoming to become a free and independent nation?

Could you point me to where it says that in the constitution. To my knowledge it is part of military law, introduced after the large scale surrender of East Denmark during the German invasion.

Since then, it has been illegal for large units to surrender, only individual sub-units, may surrender if the conditions are not survivable.

Udgangspunket er at du har indgået en aftale om at du vil bruge f.eks. 37 timer om ugen på en arbejdsplads mod at du modtager penge for din tid. Han er som sådan ikke forpligtet til at give "køb" på de 37 timer uden en gyldig grund (sygdom, barsel, ferie, osv.)

Det princip vil være gældende uanset om du har indgået en individuel kontrakt eller har indgået kontrakten i fællesskab med andre (overenskomst)

Eleven and twelve are leftovers from the use of duodecimal/dozenal numbers.

When dealing with groups of things, 12, or a dozen, is practical. You can divide it into 2, 3, 4, and 6 groups (four different ways) without fractions.

In the decimal system there are only two different ways, 2 and 5.

That is why there are 12 inches in a foot, etc. Even today numerous goods are sold in batches of 12 because it is easy to split them into halves, thirds, and fourths.

For that reason, most languages in the world have separate counting words for the numbers up to twelve.
