So why is it registered to your company if it is your personal blog? To deduct taxes? If you are, you must derive business benefit from it. So it is in face not a personal blog. Also, you can keep logs (with IPs) if the purpose of the log i

If we assume a reasonable bodyguard charges $100 an hour, and he has 2 bodyguards 16 hours a day (or 4 in 2 by 8 hours). 100 * 2 * 16 * 365 = $1.16 million Count in that they need travel, food and hotels along with Bezos, and it’s not unrea

Well, he is not a company. So he doesn't need to do anything. If it's a personal website GDPR does not apply. If it is a company. Yes, it will require more work. That is the nature of regulation, but the demands placed on companie

I would buy the one without the Touch Bar, even if it cost more! I would almost assume that if they ever make a new model without the touch bar, there would be no price reduction for it.

How is having a sim card better than simply having... free access to any carrier? A SIM-card is something you need to wait to arrive in snail mail. When going abroad you need to order one ahead of time to get a good price. Switching require

That sounds less promising, I had hoped you could select a single channel and export it. Or even better give permission to a user to be able to export one channel. We often have Slack channels shared with clients etc. and they have asked be

How fine-grained is the tool? Do you select a channel and export only the contents of that? Can you select only two users and only get messages between them? Or is it blunt and you simple download all data (the text makes it seem that way)?

> Why would Uber agree to such regulations? This is a strange question to ask. The regulation is not there to benefit Uber, it is to benefit public good. Very few companies would follow regulation if it was a choice. The setup of such re

It is valuable if your goal is to learn to make games and invest in yourself. But it is not valuable if you want to make money and be successful in your indie venture. It is possible the knowledge he gained from writing his own engine, will

Yes, the pricing for Spanner is fair for what it offers in production (and test). But I really think there should be a cheaper way to use it for dev purposes (and for trying it out). Either running an emulator locally, or on a micro instanc

As long as tracking is not connected to personal information (name, IP, email) it is OK by GDPR. So Google Analytics is not affected (as long as you specify the anonymizeIps option) as it does not associate a user with their actual identity

There have been many inquires into this by Swedish journalists over the years, but it's a very dense structure of companies with unclear ownership and structure. So who controls it is unknown. It is also a great tax evasion schema sinc

Problem with online methods of learning, is it's much harder to take a day off your day job to watch YouTube, or listen to podcasts. Conferences are like a vacation from regular work, where you can focus on learning. Also, the ability

Makes sense for a Mac mini definitely. Would be an attractive performance/TDP offering. This opens up for integrated GPUs on laptops as well, which would be very interesting.

Such a tax would have a lower bound on wealth (that is how it works in all countries with wealth tax). Only wealth above a set limit (say 1 million dollars) would be taxed. It would not affect people's incentive to save. In fact, if it

Yes. If the data cannot be tracked to one person, it is not regulated. So anonymous tracking cookies are still OK, but attaching it to an IP/name/phone number etc. is not.

A very important aspect to consider here is that a roman road did not have 100 000+ multi-ton vehicles traveling on them per day. The reason roman roads lasted long is that the load on a road with only manual labor traffic is a thousand tim

1/1000th of global energy production. Or the output of one nuclear power plant, or the same as all energy lost to friction for every car in the world. That really puts it into perspective.

But Alexa extracting a 5-10% (or even 30%) fee on all pizza places through that access definitely hurts all pizza businesses, anywhere. And those that opt out will miss that business.

It's ridiculous how the article portrays the employee as the as the bad guy here. Remember that the law only applies to companies with >50 employees. If you are at that scale, you can afford to pay on call people for emergencies.
