Except for some very fundamental things (AKA "link in bio"). But yes, most artists I know moved away from Tumblr years ago (with great success).

Yes, and my guess is that Malta will implement the law differently from what the EU proposes. [Edited to fix typo.]

> 30% of movies in Indiana need to be created in Indiana Seems like the media production is pretty centralized in the US. It's hard to compare with Europe, where most nations have different languages, their own TV stations (producin

Not sure if that makes it a gateway, but some tools for iOS/macOS development use it: fastlane and cocoapods are the most prominent ones. It's a great scripting language and good to develop DSLs.

Yes, especially with drownings, where the body would not re-appear for weeks and months.

There are businesses built on top of local economies, e.g. Atalanda in Germany: https://atalanda.com/ (I'm not affiliated, but I know people who work there.) They partner up with local businesses for the goods and bike

Keeping your customers happy is a problem a lot of startups are really bad at. The products may be great, but problems are inevitable. Sucky support might be okay for lifestyle products, but you can't get away with it if your customers

Hm, I never found adding custom routes to Rails painful - could you elaborate? Anyway, for smaller use cases I found Sinatra + ActiveRecord a great match.

In all fairness: If you sell a >3000€ laptop, people should expect to get the full value out of it. Maybe it's hard to cool CPUs in thin laptops. But then don't let people pay for expensive upgrades that have no performance ben

Maybe it's true, but usually it's human hybris. I doubt that we understand our ecosystem enough to make these kinds of judgements.

Did they also have psychological guidance? I guess you can still destroy yourself, even with a smaller stomach.

by wukerplank 8y ago
I totally agree! You know, for morbidly obese people there is the possibility of stomach stapling. This physically prohibits over eating and lowers how much hunger you feel. The intervention is covered by the public health insurance in my c

Yes, rigorous fasting might also lead to muscle loss, additionally slowing down the weight loss. All of the people I know who did reasonable carb counting, stuck to a 8 to 16 hours feeding/fasting period and picked up physical activity

I understand it was probably meant tongue in cheek. Still, very unfortunate naming.

Well, "evil" is a point of view of course. You don't even have to be a pacifist to reject working in the weapons industry. To me it's like working for a gambling site or a hedge fund. I'd rather work for a mission t

> So again, explain how it is unethical for me to use information that I have observed from my porch? I never said that making observations from your porch is unethical. Yet, you think I should explain to you why it is. Classic straw man

Let me un-baffle you: It's not personal if the data is anonymous. If in the evening you leave your porch and have a list of: 5 blonde, 6 raven, 5 brunette and 2 redhead, nobody's personal rights where violated. Hair color alone is

Bunch of strawmen here. > Is it wrong if I sit on my porch and record in a notebook the hair color of different people? If you only count the number of redheads, you are in the clear. If you follow them around, find out where else they g

Since they are doing user testing, what would be the value of AI? Unless AI is the target audience of your service, you'd gain very little insight.

As a sidenote, I'm absolutely amazed by the lack of HTML links in the article. Even the company website and the Medium page need to be copy pasted.

> I just can't imagine they are prepared It sure seems that way and I find it amazing. It has been known for a long time that the GDPR will come into effect in May. Maybe they thought they could lobby it away?

I'm wondering about Signal. They also harvest the phone number at signup. A _very_ private information I'm not very keen on sharing.

The privacy laws in my country were nearly as restrictive as GDPR and now they get a bit stricter. No big deal. GDPR is only stating the obvious and actually it is sad that the protection of most private information is not common sense but

People need to understand the different parts that make the EU administration. The EU commission is not "the EU". It's the parliament that decides if proposals of the commission become law. The parliament has a history of rej

Why would you prescribe a 100 mile ride to an old person? My point was that living a long and fairly healthy life is a day to day project, not a pill you take once you hit 70.
