The tricky part is that insider information leaked to outside is still a breach and still needs to be mitigated against.

Not just that but if it is a private meeting and you are not on a laptop, then you have a problem unless all parties are in the office. Management meetings where you might be discussing problems in the team need to be made in private.

I thought the same thing but ultimately, many organisations want loads of exceptions to the standards for whatever reason. My wife is a Solicitor and when I proposed this, she laughed. There are already standard legal forms in the UK for ma

You are massively over-simplifying the problem. Imagine someone put their contract online somewhere saying, "you must litigate in Miami-Dade County", what happens next? Is that lawful? Is it reasonable? Is it moral? You could easi

I immediately find myself asking whether the mistake is to allow one person to govern so much of a design of something so large and multi-purpose as a city. Many places where people complain of a failed designed city are complaining about i

Maybe the mayor also cares about local businesses that get their income from city workers as well as the transport networks which need all the money they can get. Maybe they care about the tourist buzz from a busy city or the saftey in numb

We are going to have a massive problem with taking on juniors, particularly younger people. Without many people visiting the office, there is a lack of banter, encouragement, confidence building. Imagine you were 16 and your introduction to

The problem is that the cost for healthcare is hidden. In the UK, we have "National Insurance" but it doesn't work like normal insurance. It goes into the same big pot as everything else and gets spent on whatever. It is a ha

The imagery equipment is one thing, the other is the skill to interpret what you see. Sure, a bad fracture might be obvious but there are many very subtle things that are not so easy to see or understand. The radiographer will know the equi

It just sounds to me like a good story to introduce the project. I suppose he is kind of saying "how can they charge this much when I can build one of these at home".

As with all of these things, it depends how much you can research what you are doing and what risk you want to take. When I first had a retainer, they put this hair-thin wire in the clips and it didn't make any sense to me, it was so t

I was wondering the same. Sure, I get the fact that people can hike the prices but I thought that the insurance companies would not allow a hospital to charge whatever they like, at least if you want to claim it from insurance. XRay machine

One of the concerns I had never considered with these smaller reactors is the potential security concerns. Although they might not be overly dangerous, they are still realistic targets for terror groups. It's easier protecting a small

The complaint is fair though. Trying to find a complete or the "correct" guide to something is very difficult even when you already know roughly what you are doing. I took me ages to work out how to setup postfix properly from abo

Sadly the answer is, as often, it depends! Many rack space rentals will not permit you to just install whatever PC you fancy because it is potentially a risk to the neighbours in terms of fire or bad hardware, most will happily quote you to

"Battery swapping, a relatively new technology pioneered in China" I assume they mean for EVs, since I have been swapping them in my portable devices for decades. Also, I bemoan the use of the word "technology" just to m

The same logic means that they should find it easier to create a solution since they only have to supply a small number of people so I guess it balances out.

Would it be critical though? Unless there are lots of alternatives at a similar availability and price-point, most people aren't just going to jump to another provider. Clouds sound largely interchangeable but you try swapping from Azu

If you think 10m is enough of a fire break, you have no experience of fire. The infra-red heat that comes off of a fire is incredibly intense and can easily spread those distances as that distance, especially if pieces of flammable debris w

It is VERY common in buildings to have ventilation dampers that are closed when a fire alarm starts exactly for this reason. I am most surprised that the design sounds like it was made a certain way deliberately even though the basics were

Seems a very patronising response. Personally, I have found the GDPR clear and well thought-out. Of course, there are some things that are annoying that you have to comply with like "IP addresses are personal data" but that is a p

It definitely suffers from a number of problems in MS, probably mostly due from having a very large organisation with different priorities: 1) UX teams who have to change things to jutify their existence. None of the problems in Windows 10
