Yup, this is exactly what GDPR is aimed at. They thought about what they need, why they need it and have it documented.

Even then you probably won't. If it's an incident that happened despite of having taken the necessary precautions, you would probably get only a small fine or a warning.

Maybe they are. There's a huge difference in approach between the two. With enterprise customers, customer support will be very different for example.

This week I got to see the job posting for a replacement of a colleague of mine. The first requirement was 3 years of experience with a product we don't even directly use. I'm pretty sure the only reason it's in there, is tha

Thanks. Unfortunately, though, I'm fully aware of this, it's the people around me however who seem to be unable to accept this fact.

Your story sounds incredibly familiar. I'm a snowboarder too and I just like the feeling. I also think this is why I tend to mall grab, since that's how I tend to carry my snowboard.

Thanks, this is pretty good advice.

I have the same issue. I'm managing a team, but at the same time I'm expected to actively participate toward the sprint goals. Because I keep getting pulled away for meetings, or to help the other developers, I can't get any

I used to ride a longboard through the city all the time, not for tricks, but for transportation, is that wrong too? Also, electric skateboards look hella fun to me. Edit: This post reminds me of people laughing at me and telling me I hold

It's not hard to do, but it limits a lot of stuff that their business is built on. So implementing it world-wide could have a negative business impact and will definitely impact the stock price in the short term.

Actually, I'm pretty sure it'll be unridable too. But you're right, the video isn't about that.

I wasn't even aware that Oracle owned the trademark. With Java, you can't really get around them, since you need to download JDK, but JavaScript just works. Maybe we can crowd fund a lawsuit!

My car does get triggered by lines on the street in a specific area. However, Dutch law says you're supposed to drive at a distance where you can anticipate that the car in front of you can go full stop at any time, so I'm not sur

Another way of looking at that crash could be that Tesla needs to be clearer about the specific environments in which AP can be used. Those road works were clearly visible much earlier than 1 second before the crash. The drive should'v

Opel Astra. It also has a 'bug', where at a certain location the lines on the road trigger the emergency braking feature, every single time.

I feel like you're both right though. We can't claim we didn't know, but the fact that we accept this en masse is concerning.

I have a pretty simple lane keeping aid in my car that keeps me within the lines. Yesterday it suddenly steered towards a wall. I think it may have been confused by either glare (low sun right in front of me) or a shadow line on the road.

How do you define a 'decision' in something like autopilot though? Also, if I remember correctly, only a couple of images per second are sent to Tesla. If there's a fraction of a second where it may decide to run into somethi

What makes the "self driving" functionally that all the other brands are marketing different though? Is it only that Tesla was first? Volvo literally calls their technology Autopilot too.

I'd never really paid attention to this, but now that you mention it, the Dutch company I work for has 4 female developers, 3 of which are Indian.
