If some dirty peadophile is sending kiddie porn, I personally think it would be a good thing if WhatsApp stopped allowing them to use their service. > If it's criminal harassment that won't end, you call the police. This is fu

Because business authorised it's use. The final say on using AWS doesn't belong to tech but busines and AWS is very good at the sales game. I went to one of their conferences and it was mostly business people and sales pitches.

Also, I think this is kind of needed. For example, if you report a user for sending a dick pic it's kind of important if they were sexting or not.

I can also echo this point. One of my favourite bits is telling business how much work each thing they need is and then letting them pick what they want next. I've been surprised when they picked things that didn't seem important

There seem to be multiple issues here. This seems like you were basically in the wrong role. As the only full-time engineer, you're more than just an engineer, you're basically the IT department. So when the other departments were

The image to show the difference between the MVP and the MLP just show the difference between a non viable product and the MVP. The MLP is the MVP. To be viable it needs to be usable, reliable, etc. This idea seems to be trying to redfine a

Why would the media say sorry because experts said something else? Why would the media be held accountable for what others say? Their job is to report what is happening and reporting what the experts say, seems to be exactly what they shoul

For most apps that I've use, jQuery and DOM would be able to do it, just no where near as well as react or vue. We're building web apps that are highly responsive with lots of UI effects. Even when it seems like there isn't m

Point? They aren't claiming damages. They're claiming shady behaviour from Facebook.

> That's quite a comparison for someone working at Facebook naming a small open source project the same generic name and then publishing it to Github Marketplace for free without mentioning Facebook at all, but I'll play along:

GDPR is EU law. So the regional rulings are extremely important for deciding what you think you can and can't do. And I think we're missing the main point. How can it be reversed if there are hundreds of possibilites.

I am curious, how are you going to unanonymise an IP to something that could have 255 combinations (and that's just if you drop that last part on an IPv4). Nevermind that an IP alone is not PII. How can you reverse something that has m

I recently ran into a scenario where using serverless caused a cascading failure. We have database searches that are executed directly via AWS lambdas. When we sent too many queries in too short of a time that took down the database and whi
