   In regards to GDPR, I agree it's the right thing for consumers, but it puts compliance pressure on startups. So from the perspective of a startup, I could see its removal being a positive. (Note that is just from the perspective of a s

   I moved to London to do a startup in December 2019. All I can say is do not do this. The government during covid has been horribly inefficient, I just received my NHS ID in the last month (taking upwards of a year to process, during which t

   I find the term "ethics" has had its meaning warped lately, ironically for the purposes of "ethics-washing" which is what this article is claiming is happening when big corporations engage in AI ethics. When I worked at

   Is this not legal? I would have thought this would be illegal if they republished their content, but if they use it to train an ML system is this not transformative? Google Books vs the Authors Guild seems to suggest so [1]. https:/&#

   Is there any data that shows the number of people believing in conspiracy theories is actually greater than it was, and that that gap was due to social media? 20 years ago I remember TV shows talking about the moon landing being a hoax, and

   I find it weird that science can't conclusively answer the question "is wearing a face mask going to significantly reduce the spread of covid". It's been nearly a year since this was a known disease, and beyond that mask

   Through my career I've traveled to new countries and cities for work, each time the office helped me connect with people and make new friends, some of my best friends in fact. What does the future hold for me in this respect? It seems

   As someone who tried to use git to do this for large sets of data, I'm very glad this exists. Will be trying this out in the future.

    I've noticed when your organisation gets to a certain size, it is inevitable that you will end up working with someone who believes in an "everything is X" fervently enough to do damage. The most common one I've seen is

    Anecdotally when I talk to Uber drivers about how they feel about laws like this, they are staunchly against it, in fact I haven't found one that is for it (sample size of maybe 20 or so). Does anyone have any data on whether these dri

    With all this remote work going on, does anyone know whether this will affect whether companies are willing to relocate people to the USA? Would be a real shame if that was to go.

    I wonder if this is why my issue is with the terminology, what you have described in 1 to me is a microservice architecture. I currently have a monorepo deploying microservices in order to get the benefits of developing in a monolith but wi

    I wonder if there is a difference in terminology between the way I use microservices and the industry? I have worked on a number of systems, both monoliths and microservices, and when a service gets big enough (think Spotify or Uber) monoli

    Does anyone else consider these type of articles the clickbait of the programming world? They tend to all follow the formula of 1. Make over the top statement in title. 2. Vaguely address the over the top statement in content. For example t

    You could do that, but then I wonder if that isn't going down the road of microservices? The ANN services for example would need to interface to the database if you want some kind of real time ANN service.

    Perhaps there is a problem where people are splitting a perfectly good monolith into microservices, but I do wonder how do you deal with large scale machine learning without microservices? I am a rather small operation and I still have mode
