From what I understand (as mentioned, IANAL) having the database itself is lawful, as they're compiling it to comply with a legal requirement, but under GDPR, that still wouldn't stop from having to comply with GDPR and the rights

Yet another sensitive database with probably no way to know if you're in it - GDPR sounds like a pain but I'm coming around to believing it's a necessary evil to stop this nonsense. OTOH I guess this is relevant information a

The best thing the US military could do for soldiers in those circumstances over the next ~20 years, is reduce the enormous carrying weight they deal with now. I thought that was the point of the "dog" robot from Boston Dynamics

The "find a reason to say no" can be very damaging as well if taken to the extreme. I've seen people that were entirely qualified for the position be rejected at the company I work for because they made some totally understan

Doctors in the US make almost twice of what doctors in other developed countries make. If you're saying it's because they have to pay for med school... then maybe it's med school that's taking the bacon :P https:/&

Weeks is not bad... Months is. And as you said, it's for non-critical stuff. A mixed system - government-managed for important things, with extra healthcare you can pay on top, like the one we have here in Uruguay, seems to work best.

It´s copyrighted for the author´s lifetime, so the primary author will have no problem, and what you say was the original intent. It´s how many years after death that is the problem.

There are some markets where the real estate business is insane, you don't get to make those studies. I once had 30 minutes to make an offer on a flat, I actually matched the asking price... and was outbid an hour later. Current price

I had no idea time-domain reflectometry existed. TIL. I agree that I could also think of several ways to implement it and I'm only a software dev.

Not true. Me and my family are on Xiaomis, they're on a different level. I have a company-issued S8 and an iPhone, and I wouldn't trade them for my Xiaomi. Best part is, they cost less than half of an equivalent iPhone, have bette

You launched an app, I think you could get a job as a junior programmer (heck, you're ahead of most) :) Don't sell yourself short.

I'm also interested (about to start my own diet but I hate non-varied diets). Any fasting method worked better than others?

Paywalled. An interesting exercise in how much value branding adds though.

I got my grandmother to use a computer, but she always used a few predefined paths. Another elderly relative relied on a relatively inexpensive, patient tech support person (basically an advanced user). There was a cottage industry of techi

Check previous threads about this. I'm not a consultant but it seems you already have a network to start. This is something I saved up from here: -- 1) Produce publicly visible artifacts which demonstrate that you're able to apply

They don't exactly advertise it. I remember Snapchat's founder (Evan Spiegel) was even weathier than Gates and Zuck (and that helped him resist buyout offers).

It's not entirely P2P, you need a server for initial connectivity. But it's probably good enough for most P2P applications (I saw someone building P2P CDNs with it !!!)

Some games (League of Legends, Ingress) have or had crowdsourced 1st level appeals for minor infractions. Maybe that's the way to go. I know many volunteers answer Google's forums.

Adding to that: 15/hr is a decent wage in many countries, but you'll be paying at least 30 due to overhead and a middleman which will be the one really profiting. And the middleman might bait and switch you on a 7/hr junior c

It depends a LOT on what you're estimating. Estimating a CRUD line of business app is very much doable. On the other hand, estimating an innovative product using unproven tech or novel methods requires a proof of concept before even kn

I loved an estimation tool called Construx Estimate, by Steve McConnell. The few times I used it it was far more accurate than the other estimation techniques we were using at the time. https://web.archive.org/web/20170
