I agree that this might be a gap in the law, in theory. However, I've seen how many businesses work and they often don't have a process for randomly enriching production data from e-mails to the privacy department. There's al

Thanks for sharing! I often call myself a flat bar, because I'm missing the one specialization for the T-shape. This description of the 'paint drip person' hit really close to home, so I think that that's what I'll

Interesting, another project by Alexander Klöpping (coincidentally also OP). I guess this guy is the definition of serial entrepreneur. He's founded (and sold) Blendle, which is kinda related to this product, but before that he'd

I have to disagree with this. Sure, it's different from 'all my friends are there' like on Whatsapp and Facebook. With Reddit it's 'all the info is there'. I'm looking for a set of binoculars? Check the di
