Of course the indie dev wouldn't be fined. These regulations are meant to be used selectively. Essentially, you're encouraged to break the law because everyone else on your level is doing the same. Then you just hope you're n

How is the upfront cost lower? If you know software development you could make a simple game quickly. You can add ads to it and release it, except that now you need to essentially be a lawyer to know that the ad network usage you have does

You might need minimal data yourself, but the tools you use (eg Unity) or the way you monetize (AdSense) do data collection.

You could just add a good faith clause that forbids it.

I wish GDPR had some exemption for small companies or companies that are starting out. Maybe limitations on revenue, amount of users and scope of data, eg strict rules still apply (to a small company) when dealing with sensitive data such a

The problem is that the bandwidth costs become too high. Internet streamed video can be encoded with get efficient algorithms, it can be cached at your ISP, and it doesn't care much about latency. None of these are true for game stream

And nowadays we have web novels with chapters every day/every few days.

I recommend you take a look at the way kids hold their phones when doing "serious" fast-paced gaming. The 4 finger claw grip[0] is not very comfortable in the long term. I'm guessing it'll be fine for teenagers, but beyo

The main thing with a touchscreen is that it's probably not as long term solution for input for these fast paced games. The way you grip your phone is probably going to hurt your wrists more in the long run.

I find this very unlikely. Maybe most of the shock and awe part will be done by robots, but I doubt that there won't be boots on the ground. Nor do I think that we will do away with sailors on destroyers.

I stand corrected. I saw the graph earlier but it was difficult to tell either the reduction in both groups was similar or not. Looking at the numbers though does paint a similar picture. The rate for men from 2000 to 2016 fell from 92.1% t

I don't think people will care until the issue has become large enough that it will start impacting others in society indirectly. Eg not enough tax revenue being generated or not enough men willing to fight in a war.

The trend is completely different for women though as is the way people view women that are not participating in the labour force.

I don't think the two causes listed in the article are actually the causes. I think both are yet another symptom of an underlying problem. I would argue that men doing worse in schooling is likely another symptom of the same issue. I t

I think the bigger difference (other than a potential skill difference) is rather that they're more willing to take these risks. The ones that are good at it and succeed will rise to the top!

When you work for somebody else (or with somebody else) then you try to do as good of a job as possible, but the ultimate responsibility still lies elsewhere - might be your boss or could even be the group. There will be other people who in

Free of charge universities usually means stricter limits on access. Only some subset of people will essentially have the opportunity to attend.

It's possible to write bug-free code, but would you bet your financial future on your ability to write bug-free code?

I think containerization is going to be the future for applications in general. It would certainly make using different versions of Python easier.

People in the thread are arguing that it's not necessarily bad code though. Also, the point of the IDE would be to help you just not forget to change it.

I wonder if we could have IDE features that will make #2 less likely. Eg marking some lines of code that they're similar to lines of code elsewhere. And if you then change it in one place the IDE will remind you about the others.

The nice thing about Chrome add ons is that you can have them turned off by default. You can turn them on by just clicking on them when you visit a specific website.

The police already attracts the corrupt and power hungry. This is just how security services work and why their power needs to be checked and there has to be oversight.

The precedent lies in law enforcement getting their hands on minute by minute details of your life from a year ago and probably much more. There might not be protections against this, but there should be. Judges shouldn't have too much

You're right. The issue indeed is that these companies can just vacuum up all of this data and keep it around. The problem, however, is that this is possible now. This means that if people (or companies) somehow figure out a way to eit

I would agree with you if our legal systems were built for that, but our legal systems are built to deal with a society that has privacy. People unknowingly commit crimes, or implicate themselves in crimes, all the time, because there are t
