Hi - I noticed you just published your Privacy Policy. Good work - it's really important to have this in place both for your and your user's protection. Good luck with Coach Thyself!

This is how we used to do it in the Olden Days with business logic in stored procedures. It's really hard to debug and incredibly difficult to build out automated testing, controlled releases etc.

I'm surprised at how often this needs to be restated. By-and-large you only need to allow people to opt out of cookies if you're tracking _their_ activity and/or selling details of _their_ activity to your "partners"

Hi, your Privacy page is non-existent. Where's the stuff that I write about myself going? Who's it being shared with and what are they doing with it? Without this info, I'd just assume the worst tbh - either out of malice or

That's an interesting view. If I were to fly to the USA, purchase something that was illegal in my home country (and explicitly state I was going to take it back home), then took it back home - would the vendor be prosecuted?

I mean the Indy is one of Lebvdev's vanity papers and the Express is part of the Reach newspaper group where the authors are incentivised on a per-click basis - you'd go to neither expecting anything other than dross.

It's unclear as to where in London this is being rolled out, but central London traffic is notoriously slow, which may help. But we also don't have the concept of jaywalking - you can cross wherever, whenever and there is quite th

Economically this makes sense. Those companies that sign are relegated to essentially just republishing press releases, so there's little value in employing someone just to do that.

And this seems like a hard limitation of this approach as art (v craft) is concerned with interpretation and reception whereas this is more like unsplash-for-galleries in that the searches have to be very literal I guess? (eg search for som

This looks vibe-coded in very short order, which doesn't necessarily mean it's bad. But given that, and the experience of generated code in general, I think you need to go the extra mile to demonstrate how you've coded it (ha

Slightly different point really - every leader has someone behind them (which is why we have the term Thatcherism, not Josephism). The point really was about parties themselves being coalitions in all but name.

You take what happened in the two elections previously (and I know technically we don't vote for PMs, but they drive the agenda of the party). 2015 we voted for Cameron, ended up with May then Johnson 2019 we voted for Johnson, ended u

Is it really a typical tactic of Trump or his administration. They don't come across as 4D chess player, more like make one move and they just tip over the table and say they won the game of checkers.

Perhaps it's only "wordsalad" to you because you have a different set of academic experiences. If you've read something like Ricoeur's The Rule Of Metaphor, their initial comment makes more sense I think.
