That sounds a bit weird to me. A company shouldn't be allowed to instruct it's employees to break the law - not even traffic regulations. So the fee should go to the driver, not to the company. I think that might solve the issue q

The laws should obviously apply equally. Exactly for that reason, fines should not be the same for someone who earns $15/hr and $1500/hr. A fine of $150 is 10 hours of work for one person, and 6 minutes for the other. How is that

Album art is the wrong focus if you listen to classical music, at least.

The really big thing missing in the spotify mobile client, is being able to see the whole title of songs/albums when looking through a playlist.

While that's an interesting point, it's not as simple as it being 'illegal' either. I've told vendors of documentation bugs - and they've even listened. I wasn't paid by the vendor, I was paid by my employ

I continue to pay for spotify, and I'm a semi-happy user. But I would pay double for better search/metadata and none of the idiotic suggestions.

There are things you shouldn't do because they're plainly unethical. There are also things that are ethically fine, but maybe your boss' boss, or some other department, or the customer, might not like. In those cases, it can

As I understand it, with the GPL, you must offer source code under the GPL to everyone you distribute the software to. With the AGPL, the same goes for those that use the software over the network. So you must offer the source of the databa

The server is AGPL. The client is Apache licensed. So I don't see a problem with using the AGPL version in commercial product. Noone claims that a product using the MySql driver is a derivative work of the MySql server? Edit: Of course

IMSLP should follow suit, instead of taking any chances, until German courts come to their senses about jurisdiction. (For those who don't know, IMSLP hosts a lot of sheet music scans that are out of copyright in canada, and not in the

If this is an opern source repo on GitHub/GitLab, I think you could argue that the developer "made the data public" in giving it to you in the first place. That's an exception to the requirement to delete data. The same

If you purge soft-deleted records after (say) 2 months, and don't use those records for anything unless they are undeleted by the users request, I don't think that should cause any problems with GDPR. Of course, IANAL.

In the Haskell example, a/b/c/d can be lists of simple data structures. In your c# style example, getData/getMoreData must either be methods on the a/b/c/d objects, or extension methods on lists of simple

I feel like trying to resolve the MX record for the domain could solve this. You can't send the validation email anyway, unless the domain resolved. But to do that, you actually have to (partly) parse the address...

I'm guessing this deals with accessibility the same way most other 'light' UI toolkits do - by not dealing with it at all?

I assume the crawler only does HEAD/GET-requests Your fault if your webpage changes anything based on a GET. Now, if the crawler doesn't honor robots.txt, then you can complain (loudly).

I agree - mostly time is manageable. I really just wish we could ditch DST. DST is horrible because the rules vary from year to year, not just from place to place.

It might be nice to transfer dates as a separate type from string. But for the love of FSM, use ISO 8601 as the format! [1] 1: https://xkcd.com/1179/

And if you have a set of well-defined roles, why not create tags for them, and replace all the divs? Seems a lot simpler.

As long as the list is used for "people who will/won't be invited to speak at Google HQ", and not used to influence search results, I have zero problems with it.

I was so vehement because the article reads like the goal is to get users to click the button. Not to help users reach their goal. Maybe I misunderstood the article. That would be ironic, right? =)

I vehemently disagree that the goal of UX writing should be to make users click on a "call to action" button. That is marketing, not UX. The goal of good UX writing should be that the users understand what happens if they click th

Not only the right to be forgotten - but also requiring real, informed consent, up front, that can be denied. Seems simpler to try really hard to keep the data anonymous.

This mythology surrounding the suffering artist is pretty much a fairly modern invention. That's not to say that earlier artists didn't struggle - but it was not fetishished in the same way. Mozart, Handel both had wealthy patrons
