I read that, what I do not get is how the difference in judgement can be justified. Small companies will instantly get sued and pay fees ruining them for this things. And that already the 1st time it happens. For Uber this is beyond ten fin

... so honestly, at this point, we basically have another Uber thing every 2nd week. I do not get why there is no legal action taken against Uber or even steps to shut it down. So much of the stuff violate basic laws how to run a business,

Honest advice: find a local community or a chat group for this. What you want is not discussed on forums, this kind of stuff is gained by experience usually and is kind of the meat of peoples' pay checks.

Twitter brings in traffic. FB is worse than snail mail for what you want. Probably because it focuses on internal traffic.

... pair that with Drone and/or GoCD. Personally I avoid using GitLab for professional and private use as it is using Omnibus packaging and comes with a whole bunch of software that usually is neatly packaged by any Linux distribution.

From personal experience: a large DO instance safely gets you through for the first paying customers to the point where you need more power. You can make your First million with a 200$ hosting bill. The decisive point isn’t resources anyway

Sit together in a room. Talk about one thing that pisses you off. The more annoying and impossible or even insane it seems, find a fix, sell it.

DB just like every bank in EU actually is legally forced to make some compliance changes for interoperability. Thus releasing this and possibly pushing workload and costs onto other banks from business side makes sense.

I have to agree. Add a lot of stock listed large companies which have not invested in IT and infrastructure for the past two decades apart from compliance enforced maintenance and Germany is basically 3rd world... startups also are lacking

If most people are not willing to pay a sustainable price for delivering food, they have to cook or walk to the restaurant. It is not the task of social services to pay for that. I also have strong objections to the notion of unskilled work

I would agree but at this point also warn to not indicate policy maker corruption since - just as for digital goods piracy - there was no conclusive evidence presented for corruption in EU at this point. ;-)

by marenkay 9y ago
Getting the feeling almost every news site does not accurately report on this for the sake of click bait. I doubt "Report finds no conclusive results for pirated digital goods" would raise that much attention.

At this point, can someone explain me why that company is not taken out of business or _at least_ put under state control to verify they actually fix their issues and stop posing a threat to their customers lives?

Isn't it obvious that it has to split a few more times? Unless it does it's major investors would not be able to cash out. The way I see it, Bitcoin works exactly like a classic pyramid schema. Only interesting part of value IMHO

Being a parent myself and also in IT: what changes is that you start looking for things that are actually decent and contribute to the quality of life as a parent. Effectively that does a few things to selecting possible jobs: - based on ag

That misses an even more important point: At this point any kind of cloud environment should be considered public infrastructure. It is not so much about all these companies, it is more about being able to keep the things you bought after t

Looks like you need another iteration on this, here is why: 1. The starting page is still to cluttered, and loading time is awful due to using fonts that do not contribute any value for the user. 2. You still have not been able to actually

The comparison does not work because Nostalrius/Elysium actually uses a codebase from the around 2010. If you go back to old MaNGOS sources and do the diff on that old state you can see it is just a few bug fixes. It looks like Nostalr

Of course. Remember that huge buzz about how Blizzard should offer servers running older expansions that was headed by a private server named Nostalrius? Well, those guys used MaNGOS source code with just a few bug fixes, and snatched an in
