Parallel construction may be a "legitimate investigative technique", but when it gets to court it is perjury, plain and simple.

Breaking a contract usually incurs some sort of penalty. Courts may enforce contracts and may be government entities, but calling it "government overreach" misrepresents their role to an extent that is just plain silly.

Spot on. Your last line is what I came here to say.

That looks really interesting, may have some features not in my current toolbox (not sure, don't want to assume I understand their terminology) and seems to check most of the boxes for me - thanks for the pointer, I'll have a play

It's critical, I agree. I'm happy if the data and its constraints are in a robust RDBMS - OK, Postgres! - that is something I can build on, in parallel potentially.

Agreed, but to me "native" includes the environment's native browser.

That was a good read - liked the balance, and agree with his description of the ideal product, which is very close to mine. I don't need a desktop product, as long as it can run on premises and in the environment's native browser

This. 1000 x this. Lets's separate the "how" from the "whether", and consider the outcomes.

Kudos for leaving it up.

Saltcorn [1] is worth a look. The back-end is Postgres, so integrations are simple. It seems to work how my mind works, it's fun to use, and I don't feel limited or locked in because the data and model are in Postgres. [1] https:

He is not a Communist, as anyone who has read any of his work would know. Perhaps that was not the assertion though, as the term "commie" is an essentially meaningless form of abuse.

Marvellous to see this on HN. I'd hate to have been stuck in a lift with the guy, but his words and music have punctuated my life. The Fall's version of Lost in Music [1] is a thing of wonder. [1] https://youtu.be/

'backronym' - like it, thank you.

Agreed. This link tax crap sets a disturbing precedent. It would be to the benefit of the web in general, Google in particular, and most specifically to the thinking skills of the EU if Google pulled news, as I think they did in Spain under

I've been very impressed by Saltcorn. It's a very well thought out and elegantly implemented tool, well worth a proper look - I'm looking forward to using it in earnest.

Thanks for mentioning this - new to me, and looks very, very promising. There goes my weekend... ;-)

The majority of the viewing public seemed to agree, and to consider her perspective largely factual reporting rather than opinion. Many people were more concerned by the preposterous defences of Cummings' stunt than his errors of judge

His "faux offended" stance in a matter of (other people's) life and death is not a good look. He says "If we want people to choose to work for Amazon helping deliver packages to customers, job number one is to convince t

No, it does not have to be automated, and if manual / email approaches work at your scale that's fine. The legislation explicitly refers to "proportionality", although people exploiting the FUD around it to drum up busin

You are confusing legislation and enforcement. A great deal of legislation has an extra-territorial dimension. We live in a connected world, so ignoring this legislation should not be assumed to be free of consequences.

This is not true generally anyway (in most mainstream systems it is much simpler to update or delete when appropriate), but please consider e.g. the GDPR where the ability to delete personal data is mandatory, and the "keep everything

I live near Menwith Hill, and I disapprove very strongly of its presence, and am ashamed of my countries collaboration in these atrocities, which are constructed in such a way as to entirely evade the rule of law.

If I read this right, surely the point is that he was not crawling the /Wiley/ site, but rather something else that contained those links? This is the thing about deliberate contamination - it spreads.

"I hate to say this but a real partner does not leave, they stay by your side and help you through the tough times" I don't think this is fair. Everyone has a breaking point, and the OP is pretty clear that the situation was
