Congrats on the launch, Render team! Like so many others here, I was a former Heroku user turned AWS-customer that is longing for an option with the positioning, UX/DX that Heroku offered ten years ago. There's this bit of copywri

Germany? I’m very grateful for that operation.

Yes: the point is that it is owned & controlled by Microsoft. The actual location of the data processing doesn't matter if the parent company is bound to US jurisdiction (which Microsoft is).

It's definitely 'other jurisdictions'. There's a (short) whitelist of countries that are deemed adequate, which you can find here: https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/law-topic/data-protection&#x

Thanks for the corrections. What my original statement meant to convey was not simply disagreement with GDPR, but more that two somewhat unrelated edge case decisions ("do 'just' IP addresses count as PII", and "can

> If you don't log or track you are perfectly compliant in every case. But that is simply not true, right? If I host my website on AWS and 'log or track' nothing I am still not compliant. It's not about what I do as

One data point, that I just found after a few clicks: Homepage of the 'Council of the European Union' ( https://www.consilium.europa.eu/en/ ). On opening, loads resources from 'newsroomcdnakamai.azureedge.

It's interesting that people begin to realize now to which ridiculous conclusions GDPR taken at its word leads: - IP addresses are personally identifiable information (PII), and hence require consent to process - Transferring PII to se

Hey! At the moment, we solely focus on providing the best experience for our direct users, but we have received requests like this in the past, so it might be something to consider in the future. Happy to chat about details (email in my pro

(Disclaimer: I work at Datawrapper) For most projects, our free plan might suffice: https://blog.datawrapper.de/create-data-visualization-for-fr... It’s fully usable for commercial use as well. In terms of in-between projec

The maps are rendered live (not as images), which is needed for responsiveness, but they are not draggable/zoomable. This is a product decision based on the explanatory/storytelling nature of the feature, we go into more detail he

No, it’s purely based on the Google Sheets/Drive API. Doesn’t require you to install a plugin, just share your sheet with data@datawrapper.de or set it to public and you’re good to go.

What do you mean by static? Yes, the tiles for our locator maps [0] are self-generated and hosted based on OSM source data and the OpenMapTiles project. The boundaries used for choropleths [1] are maintained by us based on various public so

Yes, there’s a REST API that lets you do that, documented here: https://developer.datawrapper.de/ Available on the free plan as well!

Definitely - all Datawrapper visualisations can also be used with live data sources ( https://academy.datawrapper.de/article/317-live-updates-over... ). It used to be a bit of a fringe feature for things like elections o

Thank you! It’s not a core chart type at the moment, but you can hack it using stacked column charts: https://academy.datawrapper.de/article/333-how-to-create-a-w... Might become one at some point!

Awesome to see this here! I’m one of the co-founders, open for any questions. We’re also always looking for developers to join our team (Berlin-based, remote welcome, 4d week possible) - email me david@datawrapper for details.

The average American likely isn't in a position to make business spending decisions that would warrant a 700k bribe, though.

Thanks for the insight! Though the fact that understanding this requires me to learn two new acronyms might hint at the problem with customer adoption and perception.

This doesn't change the fundamental fact that a tax on every transaction disincentives B2B transactions and therefore directly incentivizes large, vertically integrated companies. You can try to work against it by arbitrary progressive

FYI, this setup would be extremely beneficial to gigantic companies and likely would lead to immense consolidation, since effectively you would tax 1% on every supplier transaction down the chain, whereas the vertically integrated gigacompa

This is a strange analysis. "Number of acquisitions" seems like a weird metric, without accounting for their significance (in purchase price, impact on the business, or any other real-world metric). facebook buying Instagram was p

Why's that? Saving 18k for 5 years would yield you 90k€, which would be an appropriate 20% down payment on the 450k€ house.

It's almost funny how this is the polar opposite of what you often want when hiring. You're hiring to add manpower to tackle the kind of unexciting tasks that you don't naturally find people drawn towards from your existing t

Visiting a parking lot in Redmond might help you reconsider your image of pitiful, suffering Microsoft workers driving beaten-up Toyotas.

That's not completely true, part of the German social security is paid directly by the employer and not deducted from the Bruttogehalt. It's about 15-20% in total.

Your numbers are wrong, you can get 'developer support' for $29/mo or 3% of AWS cost (whichever is higher), and 'business support' at $100/mo or 10% of AWS cost. In my experience, the support reps are qualified
