   At the very minimum users should be presented with clear and understandable opt-ins. What we got is an obfuscated mess of legalese and dark patterns of opt-outs.

   The EU member states do not care. Is it better? It was adopted 4 years ago, enforceable for the past 2 years. Still every single site that even cares about showing a nagbox offers only opt-outs. Those numbers listed are a joke compared to t

   Basically every site is violating GDPR. Who cares? The EU does not.

   If the contract specifies the place of the work as the Mall, Mall street 1, as soon as someone crosses that line, it is ON and ticks as long as they leave the premises. I see no ambiguity there. If the time spent walking to the door is so i

   As soon as someone steps foot (or tire) on the premises, the clock starts ticking.

   Customer Acquisition Cost does not equal Sales and Marketing expenses. Do uncommon or misleading abbreviations in titles equal clickbait?

   The study found the radius of a 1.4-solar-mass neutron star is between 10.4 and 11.9 kilometers, a substantial improvement over other estimates.

   Thanks, I was not aware of these apis. I would really love to know more how the image/video capture works.

    Surprisingly light on version control best practices. 1. Big commits make it easier to evade code reviews, submit pull requests close to the deadline 2. Commit messages should be generic and misleading 3. Logical units of change should be s

    Labeling differing opinions antiscience really hurts discussion and quite ironic.

    Once upon a time I shared an office with sysadmins. Patch Tuesday was not something to be taken lightly. On the serious side, imo the fundamental problem is control. Opinions align along the lines how strong one feels about their computing

    Disagree that people don't care. Maybe not all the time, but sooner or later everybody experiences a bad update (bad timing, crashing app, consuming a mobile plan costing $$$). Agree that most are powerless to fight it but the worst of

    I used neither. Not sure about the lock in, but the Stripe cloud credits seem very generous. Isn't business office required in the UK? Also mail forwarding if one is outside of the UK. It is still way lower than anything I researched,

    I'm baffled by this. Many times it is listed under the ingredients, no need to look up anything. NaOCl, HCl, NaOH make up the majority of cleaners. My wife prefers to buy the expensive stuff even though she knows I consider them a blat

    I always wondered, how safe are dish soaps? Can they replaced with something more natural, like vinegar or lemon juice? We have those around for simple household cleaning, only bringing out sodium hypochlorite and sodium hydroxide for heavy

    I do the same and wait until all the bills arrive at the beginning of each month to do them in one batch and do not like the cognitive overhead. Now wondering whether it would be possible to set up semi-automated payments. You get a notific

    A door closes a window opens. Does not look good, but neither does the current status quo. Might just be the blessing in disguise that kicks off some actual competition in the browser space. Feel bad for the laid off though.

    Entrepreneurship? Getting more technical has a diminishing ROI after 10 years. Or something completely orthogonal to computing. Something you enjoy. For fun.

    Corporate hypocrisy is really not that serious issue in the grand scheme of things, but the asking for it justification is just victim blaming.

    Nah, aligning with the trends is anything but courageous and admirable. Especially if one was very vocal about opposing them. Double especially if the move is out of one's control.

    I would hesitate to take anything from the article at face value, they just align with whatever is trending, there is nothing more to it really. Do you expect them to say I would force every single one of my peons back into the salt mines
