I suspect btdmaster is American and, as such, has no GDPR rights wrt Discord, an American company. I don't believe in that case that Discord is required to explain themselves. Separately, OP starts with a complaint about deletion; the

I bet your credit card or merchant will provide a refund. Which is too bad because the only thing I don't like about my Jabra 65t s after probably 1k hours of use is they don't get quiet enough, but :shrug:.

No, you really don't (human resources? Please). Nor are there thousands. I, like many other people -- and I'm not a genius, nor an attorney -- have managed to run a small business in accordance with these rules. Was there someti

This is just someone who started a business and didn't do 10 minutes of basic research. It's not a secret that if you do business in a state (eg by hiring an employee), you will be required to register in that state and pay taxes

The security upgrades situation on Google is intolerable. I finally have a phone (3axl) that didn't die in a couple years from accidents / abuse / going to the gym in my pocket, and Google is eol-ing it because they've c

Sometimes execs really do have a good grasp on what customers what. Any good ceo is a salesperson for their company, and spends a great deal of time talking to the most important ($, strategic, etc) customers. Finally, even if the feature

I've hired plenty of engineers; most hiring managers know that. Problem 1: it's too easy to apply to jobs. Unqualified people blast resumes at you. If each resume takes you 2-3 minutes for a fast discard, and 15+ minutes to real

Not to mention the backweighted RSU vesting schedules. AWS comp is designed around recovering comp back from employees that put in, say, 2 years and decide AWS isn't the place for them. Not how I run a business, but to each his or he

With an orm and customer objects to create scoped queries, I haven't found this to be a problem. It's also very easy to check in code reviews. And not a painful issue from, well, the lack of this happening given it's an ext

I can't believe anyone would do separate databases. Just wait until a migration doesn't run on 2 of your 400+ customer databases. Or multi-hour migrations.

I made the decision, unfortunately. The rationale was literally that I hated pivotal tracker -- what a garbage app that is -- and I'd heard of jira, needed something to track bugs / work items, and signed up. It crucially had a

Everyone who's used jira understands that they don't hire good engineers. If they did, it wouldn't be So. Damn. Slow. They're almost certainly rebuilding something from scratch. If it were an AWS system limitation, almo

LinkedIn says they had north of 600 employees -- 666 oddly enough. 456 in the US. If your average payroll cost is $100k for 600 employees, that costs the business $135k, so payroll alone is $76m/year, or $6.5m/mo. If average pay

Part of this surely is that most apps are now delivered in the browser, so increasingly windows is a terminal to run chrome or edge.

If you pay an employee $150k, that's $200k-ish fully loaded. If that employee works 2000 hours pa, assume (generously) that 1600 of those are heads down work. Therefore work costs $125 an hour, ie wait time costs $2/minute. If

Yandex definitely violates quite a few. Regardless, I can't imagine Yandex had a choice: between the data residency laws, and the Russian government's views on foreign investment, I don't think they could have kept their ser

It's not so complicated though -- for big budget games, the budget has gone up while the box price has been eaten by inflation. People still pay $60 for a game in the midst of 9 figure dev budgets. $60 isn't enough money to make

Not easy at all if you have remote workers. Someone from EST works 9am-1pm; someone from PST starts work at 9:30am. Daily overlap: 30 minutes. Yes it could be solved if you want to define core hours in the middle of the day, but I suspect
