I know this is a rhetorical question, but Prototype.js was pretty similar to jQuery; although jQuery won the popularity contest.

Cannot agree with this more; but (as you already hint at) Kubernetes is the actual win, and I would not be surprised if Docker would eventually be replaced with another container solution in the Kubernetes ecosystem.

That's not true, but the problem is likely a different than you anticipated; a large region with very few inhabitants is visually more present than a small region with many inhabitants. So the number of unemployed people can be much la

Fresh eggs, yeah, that does help. But if your eggs are slightly older you can still try the trick of putting them a few seconds in hot water. And if your eggs are fresh the results in my experience are also improved with this method, withou

Are the eggs room temperature to begin with? That seems important to me... Otherwise perhaps vary the duration. I've had great success with this method but YMMV.

The shell quickly cools down and you should be able to handle it pretty soon after taking them out.

An even better technique (I tried lots) is to put the eggs in boiling water for 20-30s before breaking and poaching them. It will start the coagulation process of the egg whites, making it much more viscous when you actually do break th

If you cannot operate the service without that particular data, you don’t need explicit consent.

IIRC this is exactly what is being done with the upcoming ePrivacy directive. For example I believe it will become mandatory to honour the DNT header.

I think GDPR intends to protect businesses from "denial of service attacks" through sending many repetitive or bogus requests. A single, legitimate request is definitely not excessive.
131.
by molf 9y ago
I think we agree; it seems better to rely on legitimate interest than ask for consent for everything. (Although it does require thinking about and actually having a legitimate interest.)

I have the feeling nobody knows this. To me it seems this part of GDPR is particularly targeted at major companies and they can be held accountable through subsidiaries or branch offices in the EU. It doesn't seem very likely to me tha

Google has been working on making Google Analytics GDPR compliant, but you must actively change some settings to pseudonymize collected data and also sign/accept a GDPR contract with them. Also you must make sure to not explicitly ad

This is true, but you also must engage in a GDPR contract with Google Analytics. I believe they have recently added this as a feature somewhere.

GDPR defines "personal data" as "any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person". [1] The GDPR definition of personal data is VERY broad, and it includes things like: * name, email, date of birt

For most smaller businesses there is no real reason to do all that much as long as you can answer such questions on an ad-hoc basis. Although of course we still have to see how widespread it will become in practice. Basically you need to ma

That's all neatly laid out in article 13. [1] I'm not a lawyer but having extensively studied all of GDPR recently I'm afraid the letter seems legit. If there's any error it will be a minor one. [1] https://gd

Any data you collect that you do not unambiguously need to provide the service would be an appeal for "legitimate interest" as a legal basis for collecting it. There are a number of things GDPR writes about it and of course you ca

Good question. This would be an appeal to "legitimate interest" as a legal basis for collecting personal data. GDPR explicitly states that if the legitimate interest is direct marketing, then the user may always object to such

We cannot say for sure yet, but in general we can expect that these things will never be checked until there is a data breach of some kind; or if evidence is found in another way. If the details of the breach indicate you were using data fo

Not true; GDPR explicitly grants a large number of rights to the data subject. [1] These rights include: * the right to be informed about what data is processed * the right to access all data gathered about them * the right to rectification

Be careful with hiding everything behind "consent", because consent cannot be a precondition for providing a service. Put differently: if a user does not consent, you cannot refuse them the service if the data you wanted to co

There's a very clear distinction: GDPR requires that consent is not a precondition for offering a service. Most cookie policies in practice are all or nothing: you either accept and continue, or you decline and cannot use the service&#

We have switched last year and achieved 45% cost savings. This is mostly because we can now easily run all CPU heavy activity to preemptible nodes if they are available. It is also much simpler to gracefully scale down the number of nodes&#
