Nope. I do everything on bare metal, local to me. I guess they could squeeze my ISP, but that wouldn't be a significant business continuity problem for me. If they come after my utility/energy provider I'll be concerned.

I don't think this is a GDPR violation or a security vulnerability. The purview of GDPR is personally identifiable information, whereas these are vulnerability details and passwords. If companies were storing their user lists in Trel

Here is another (Google) search query that yields a lot of email addresses and passwords: site:vk.com/doc "@gmail.com" As it turns out, vk.com (and other large social networks) are used for discreetly sharing large l

Sure, and I welcome an attempt to collect that. I'm not going to hold my breath though.

No. Brutal honesty: I have no intention of complying with GDPR. I do collect plenty of data from Europeans; but I am not a European, I do not directly use the data for commercial purposes (though I publish some of it) and I have no physical

I want to agree with your first point, because I'm confident there are unexaggerated highlights on my resume which would make certain hiring managers skeptical. But if we're more charitable about it, they did use the word "cl

Your comment runs counter to my experience learning math and the experience of basically every person I know with graduate or higher education in the subject. Sure you might be trying to learn something you're not ready for if you&#x27

Yes I think you're right, sorry. I'm thinking more of the email clients like Edison [1] and Astro[2]. It gets hard to keep all of these apps straight :) _____ 1. https://trends.edison.tech and https://mail.e

Pinsight is a big one. But there are too many to name. In 2018, you should assume that any free service (Unroll.me), web/mobile SDK (Slice), email client (Airmail), personal finance tracker (Mint), integration API (Plaid), geolocator

This comment seems like a great microcosm of remote work discussions on Hacker News. You didn't dismiss remote working in a thread about it, but you tried (maybe imperfectly) to suggest times when it would be a good idea to not work re
