The reason autonomous/crewless isn't really feasible or worth investing in is that most container ships only have a crew of about a dozen, and they are generally from low-wage countries so that their salary costs are far out-weigh

This isn't true. You can use cookies for necessary operations of the website, which this almost certainly is. Also, country level location data isn't PII, and also doing a geoip lookup that you don't store anywhere also isn&#

20m euro or 4% of revenue, whichever is higher, is the max fine. Up to the individual to say how truly likely it is a small revenueless project could possibly get fined, even with large amounts of malfeasance.

However, they are making it clear they are not attempting to serve EU users. Which means they are not covered by GDPR.

You have to wonder if Instagram turns a purposeful blind eye on this behavior, as it makes small-time creators feel like there is at least some opportunity to game the system and grow a following. Otherwise, they'd be totally locked ou

As someone responsible for implementation -- yes, we are probably erring on the side of caution too much, but "probably" doesn't cut it with the potential fines on the line. -How big is "probably? 5% chance? 0.01% Chance

Yep. If a company purchases PII and then uses it for any reason, say marketing, they have to store how they got consent from the users to use that information.

Its going to work out that if they are under the coverage area for GDPR (have EU customers / EU nexus) -- they have to have visitors opt in to be tracked by GA, unless they can guarantee it cant be used to tie the user to any other PII

My unprofessional, based on nothing guess is that no one will be prosecuted for that kind of technicality, as there will be much bigger fish to fry of large companies totally flaunting major pieces of the law.

While that may be technically true, the specifics of the law would make it impossible to follow unless companies assumed everyone who visited their site was an EU citizen. For example , using google analytics in many cases in the EU will no

So this covers the "right to be forgotten" part of GDPR. However, there are plenty of other parts -- like not using tracking cookies til you explicitly give permission, that most sites will likely implement just with geoip targeti

Amazon, actually. It's something like 5/15/40/40, maybe a current/former employee can chime in.

On the contrary, a ton of licensors have pulled out of Netflix. Its just that their content is good and at a large enough scale that it doesnt matter. Netflix was lucky to build its in-house production muscle before a lot of the licensors w

4 or so years ago, I remember a frustrated Dev printed out signs on our floor at Zynga that was focused on the then early-mobile efforts that said “It’s a tap not a click!”

I wonder if MOOCs and other non-profit coding schools could use this to get their students apps distributed. Perhaps the risk would be too much, but would be cool to see Udacity or someone allowing first time progammers to release for their

Even if a Tesla Semi weighs the same than an unloaded diesel semi, the point would still stand. Diesel taxes are one way to help make the truck industry cover the costs of road improvements, which electric semis will never have to pay. This

Similar to this, a few years back my then-roommates and I created a fake restaurant at our apartment, named after the nickname we gave to our kitchen. It was meant to be our own inside joke and we gave it a couple reviews ourselves. The 4.5

We used to use them at a previous job -- they had a data product that would tell you what add networks competitor apps were using, their estimated market share in impressions, and what their ad creative was. Was a very useful research tool

Cabs/Ubers have very different marginal driving decisions than "regular" drivers, and a congestion fee is not an effective policy to target them. If London feels like the cabs are the real opportunity to reduce congestion, wh
