The EU claims that even companies not located in the EU are still subject to the GDPR. I don't think the GDPR is applicable in this case tho. It seems likely to pertain to the EU 'right to be forgotten' law(s).

They could arrest their officers if they're ever in Germany (or maybe the EU).

I'm pretty sure actually, uniformly enforcing all of the currently existing labor laws would 'inadvertently deepen abject poverty' too. There are a lot of people working black or gray market jobs (i.e. workers for whom th

Those services were, and still are, much worse than Uber and the like. They're not bad in any absolute sense; just relatively bad. I'm pretty sure they weren't and aren't "computer-dispatched" in the same way

I think the 'weird' conditions are some combination of there not being other 'riskless' (or less risky) investments and certain institutions being legally required to hold a certain number or amount of 'riskless&#x2

Huh? If investors demand immediately profitability, wouldn't that push companies to "fail fast" even more? The point of failing fast is to spend as little time as possible working on the wrong ideas, i.e. to find 'mark

There's an option in your settings to share your data with their support people and you have to explicitly enable it for them to see your data/info. But I understand your reluctance nonetheless.

I feel your pain – but I'm a happy YNAB user and I've only ever 'known' the web version. (I'm aware of the desktop versions.) I don't use the auto-import features anymore – they never worked consistently with a

Yes, exactly – when I was using GnuCash I tried to create my own 'cash flow' tool using data exported from GnuCash because this was exactly what seemed to be missing in GnuCash. I miss double-entry bookkeeping but YNAB has turned

I didn't like sharing my credentials either but I was using it – until it stopped working for most of my accounts. I've since stopped using even the 'manual import' and I've found that reconciling to my bank/

They claim they have budgets, 'categories', and something I wish YNAB had, 'tags'. Tags would be nice so that I could categorize expenses normally, e.g. 'restaurants', but also group them, e.g. 'trip to X&

Waivers aren't – just like anything else – perfect protection against (legal) liability. In the U.S. at least, everything can be litigated and even just defending one's self can be expensive.

He asked a question in the form of a comment – I'm pretty sure that's what 'comment' is referring to in the guidelines; not the content of the comment itself. And you seem to be wrong about by comment about the guideline

I fully sympathize and agree that downvotes shouldn't be used (here or any other site, generally) to signal disagreement. But they are, and I (mostly) agree with the guidelines about it not being fruitful to ask about it when it happen

Containers aren't a magic bullet either. Surely the core of container systems is also "manual work in a for loop". You're right that the default 'ephemerality' of containers is (or can be) a plus but config man

I'd suggest starting with just scripts, e.g. Bash, PowerShell, anything – that's assuming you have automated builds for both your web app and its components first. (So, automate builds of your app and all of its components first

I think maybe the problem with the comment was that it started with "I think that’s incorrect" but it reads like a non sequitur. The comment to which yours was replying was claiming that matching ads to viewers is itself a privacy

Even minimal CD is better than doing (or trying to do) the same thing 'by hand'. And adding automated tests is going to be easier with even the rudest CI/CD setup. Some organizations haven't even taken the first steps

I think data caps might be the best business tool for ISPs offering services to consumers. After learning about how business Internet services are sold and priced, it's not so surprising that they're more 'rational'.
