They just raised £15 million in series B, enough to pay those 100 engineers £100k each for... 1.5 years, assuming zero overhead and no other expenses? Edit: also assuming no revenue, so I don't know. Is that normal startup math? Double

Those diagrams look really nice. Does anyone know how they were made?

Other sources are saying the problem happened at booster separation. Maybe that was the initial cause and the actual failure developed some seconds later? Not sure how to reconcile that with this audio.

Between 3:06 and 3:07 they're reporting first stage separation was good and the rocket is performing well. 3:07:15: The male Russian voice says "Booster failure, right? Two minutes, forty-five seconds."

Grid tells boxes where to go. Flex tells content how to take up space. Technically the window is a box with content, and technically your content can be split into a grid of boxes, so grid and flex can kind of do each other's jobs if y

Today it's possible to buy a laser-guided sleep-o-matic superbed that walks your dog and cures your back pain. You can also buy a basic bed that's pretty nice and reasonably cheap. 15 years ago, you might have had a high-tech bed

I wouldn't recommend that checklist. It seems to be a list of every topic in the regulation, whether it applies to you or not, presented as a list of things required for compliance. While technically not wrong, some of it is so mislead

Unless you track or profile natural persons within the EU, or you "envisage" offering them services. Then you're in scope.

Current guidance, although not definitive, is that IPs and similar identifiers are personal data iff the processor/controller can identify a natural person by combining them with other data it can legally access.

I would think of it this way: 1. Are you processing their email address? 2. For what purposes? Why do you need it at all? (You might do many different instances or types of processing for one purpose.) 3. What's your lawful basis for p

I read this part as being broad, but not vague. Processing personal data means doing anything with it in any way, including simply having it. If the data takes part in a process you have, you're processing that data.

Processing is defined in Article 4(2): > 2. ‘processing’ means any operation or set of operations which is performed on personal data or on sets of personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organis

Geoblocking EU users makes it fairly clear you don't intend to serve[0] them, at least in my opinion. If the only reason you could be in scope is offering your service in the Union, and you do your best to avoid that, you should probab

If the company is storing Personal Data (on people in the EU) or is present in the EU, GDPR applies. They might also be complying voluntarily for various reasons. Data Subjects' rights to their data aren't absolute. If you need it

The GDPR effectively outlaws certain business models. "You pay with your data" is one of them.

In your bank analogy, the mortgage terms would say you have to let the bank install a camera in your bedroom. No camera, no keys. The bank is not required to give you a mortgage. The regulation says that if they want to offer one, they ca

The point of my story is not that I should have been hired. That isn't my call. The claim is often made that anybody who can code should easily pass some particular test: P -> Q. I'm offering a story of P & ~Q, which means

The only thing I'd change: At the very bottom, "Set up" should be "Setup", since it's used as a noun.

Sorry, I don't follow. Are you extending the metaphor or answering literally? Candy is the fossil fuel-intensive lifestyle and eating vegetables is choosing to cut back.

"Eat your vegetables" is never the answer. In climate change, because of the coordination problems, "Eat your vegetables" is so emphatically not the answer that it shouldn't even be discussed as anything except a
