You can't legally guarantee it (even the GDPR, which is like the top of the line in terms of privacy regulations, is still a joke due to the lack of enforcement) but you can make yourself look more trustworthy by having a business mode

I wouldn’t rationalise it, but I would at least understand if you need the money - I myself have done things that I’m not too proud of when times were tough. But when you’re in a position to leave, please do so.

The first question when a recruiter reaches out to me is what’s the company, so I can look them up and see if their products/services align with my morals. I have declined many opportunities at cancerous companies that do analytics, ad

Ethical ads do exist. Look at Carbon or the (self-hosted) ads on Read The Docs. The issue is those ethical ad networks don’t pay as much as the others because they actually screen their ads and a lot of the garbage ads (that keep the entire

I am more surprised that this kind of coupon trickery still pays off and the retailers are burning money on it. The way I see it, you only search for coupons once you see a product at a retailer and you want to buy it (or even once you alre

Since iOS 11 (I believe) the "keychain" persists across app reinstalls. Shitty apps thus put a tracking ID in there to guard against app reinstalls. If you reinstall your entire device (thus clearing the keychain) you should be ab

I am French, moved to the UK a few years ago. There are many cultural issues that will prevent France from ever becoming a startup nation. One of them is the fact that there's this idea floating around where you have to have higher edu

At least in the UK, by law you are not responsible for any fraud on your account, and even if the bank folds the government will bail them out up to 85k per account (FSCS protection), so I wouldn't be worried. Disclaimer: Monzo & S

In this case what I would recommend is to put the entire server off the internet, on a separate network segment where it can only talk to a proxy for VNC & web sockets or whatever is needed to make the functionality work. That way even

It is marketing indeed, but brands want to believe they’re doing genuine memes when they’re really doing just spam.

It's definitely better to batch stuff, but even then, an hour of your time is probably worth a lot more than the equivalent of buying those 5 meals already made. Not to mention, I assume the one hour doesn't include time to clean

I can relate to this, but there are things you can do to at least limit the time-wastes. Here's a breakdown of his list and how I solve some of those problems. * eating: eat while you work or do something else; plus it also allows you

The value Uber provides to me is a ride within minutes of the request. Taxis in London (which have their own apps like Gett and MyTaxi) can't match that from my experience. Uber also provides me with a way to claim money back should an

That would require actually doing work and delivering value and competing, while complaining is easier. Same story with the Uber/Lyft vs taxis. I don't like Amazon that much but I fully support them on this front.

2FA can be proxied through. The phishing site also asks you for 2FA, and passes through the code to the real site where the attacker logs in.
