What...data are they collecting? It's a site that pins articles people have saved, the only piece of user data they should hold would be email address and maybe IP address? Simple to put in policies to expire the IP address data after

At the start of the article I was revelling in the enjoyment of confimation bias washing over me around how reddit is changing, but then I read this > Allen admitted to the Daily Dot that he deleted popular r/science posts so AMAs w

I usually ignore them too, however I found one recruitment agency send me a mail saying that no reply/action is 'assumed consent' for them to keep my data. So I'm having to impose an annoying level of extra scrutiny on t

Doing it 1.5 months is impressive, it took me almost 6! [1] I agree with the post that it was a very rewarding (if frustrating) project. But once you see that Nintendo logo come down the screen for the first time it's almost like magic

Usually this sort of thing would go to IBM, Accenture etc. AWS has tried to position themselves as being different from the old 'dinosaurs', but the public sector market is probably ripe for them to move into. They've already

At my work one part of the interview is a System Design test, where the candidate is presented with a problem and we ask them to come up with a system (i.e. by gathering requirements etc) Usually this means drawing stuff on the whiteboard w

It seems to me like he's overreacting a bit I get that the GDPR regulations seem quite complex and daunting but his usecase seems pretty simple to me.

Policies like these always get argued through the lens of "won't someone think of the children?" It's hard to make a rebuttal to that in the UK without being pilloried

Very interesting link, thanks. I'm not too familiar with this area, but from my understanding of the article, Cloudflare are suggesting that all players in the game need to be compliant otherwise nobody wins So is this Fastly article s

The thing about checking social profiles for number of connections etc is strange to me, although maybe it makes sense in the sales world. I have a LinkedIn but rarely log into it, most LinkedIn emails get filed into spam. Missing good oppo

It depends on how much of an impact you'll think you can make, I'm always of the mind that these defence contractors primary motivations are what their customers desire (i.e. military), rather than making considerations for anyone

Brought a smile to my face. Outside of the silly nostalgia, I do appreciate the personal blog/websites that are very minimal in their theming, while still looking modern and clean. The silly old geocities days were fun but, it's n

I've been running a Pi-Hole instance for about a year now, it's excellent. I could never get it to work with my router, but manually configuring the DNS on my devices to point to it works just as well. One thing that became immedi

Discussions about cheating aside, I find it hilarious watching these YouTube influencers dropping these ads right in the middle of their videos without even a hint of remorse. I mean, I get it, they want to make money, but still. It reminds

Where I work we've been debating about this a lot. I work with log data from CDNs, so user IP addresses get ingested. We use that information and correlate it with geoip services to determine stuff like the ISP being used. This is so w
