You don't have a Starbucks around the corner?!?!
I thought they were everywhere.

In Italy? Mwahahahah. We have a coffee shop or 2 at every corner, with peaks of 5 or 6.
A Starbuck's will open in Milan next year. Maybe, if idiots stop complaining before even trying it. We also have an imitation of it but nothing worty and it has standard Italian coffee.
America Graffiti is restaruant chain which serves good american coffee (along with a lot of cajun cuisine and Happy Days themed diners), but they are a few for each city.

I was under the impression that american coffee is just like the italian, but with 10 times more water or milk.

I verbosely explain some of the differences, above[^].
The idea of "more milk" - perhaps you've never heard of cappuccino?
Here's some nutshell concepts:
Espresso/demitasse/Turkish etc. are brewed for drinking in small cups
American coffee is brewed for drinking by the mug-full
Espresso roasts are very darkly roasted, nearly black.
American coffee is lightly roasted (restaurant coffee a bit darker)
And, of course, the preparation method: BBQ isn't baking isn't frying isn't microwaving.

Not to sound like a grandpa, but sometimes the best way are the slow and old ways though. Maybe, just maybe people can learn stuff in 80s of life. Maybe.

Thanks a lot. Now the quest would be finding one in Italy (before giving up and ordering from Amzon).

A couple of things. You can buy Instant Coffee, like Nescafe, and just add hot water.
I know a lot of people in Europe who do this, and I do this since I am the only coffee drinker in the house, and only drink 1-2 cups a day.
Second, in the states, we can buy bags of beans, and grind them fresh at the grocery store. This is my favorite. But I learned the MAGIC of the grind (Coarse to Extra Fine).
The Coarser the grind, the LESS Bitterness you get (Opposite of Starbucks). I like a coarse grind!
The Finer the grind, the MORE Bitterness you get (Starbucks), and the darker the coffee.
Enjoy!

Italian Nescafè is different from the one sold elsewhere (tried many times) and it is pure fecal matter.

That I already knew, it is the same for Italian coffee and Espresso.

Is the marketing firm liable for the damage they caused?

Given that the data include predictions of these people's likely voting intention on a range of subjects there may well be a defamation case (or many) in there.

Pretty much all of this data is public record. There is quite possibly nothing there that a team of people couldn't get from the internet with a few months of effort.
|
|
|
|
|
True - but when you perform an analysis on the data (using your chosen statistical methodology) and then publish that analysis you are liable for that too.

Yes, ethically wrong and shows a total lack of professionalism. But it's probably not illegal.

But politically correct. By definition.

You'd have to establish cause and effect. So say someone has their identity stolen, he or she would then need to prove that the leak originated here. Very unlikely I'd say.

Which makes it non-news. Companies do not protect data if they are not liable. The cause-and-effect nonsense is merely there to protect the companies - and as long as no financial damage is to be expected, nothing will be invested into security.
Don't expect security if no one is liable. That's just plain nonsense.

Good points, and I agree.

Nobody appears to take any blame (admit to mistakes) anymore, right the way down the chain. Its a problem because there are no lessons learn't that way.
