Thanks for asking. I'm using a broad definition of spam here although not quite as broad as the one in your question. :) In ascending order of impact from slightly annoying to serious issue: 1. Sending marketing without consent. In the

Believe it or not, I have actually considered that possibility. However, I think Grist looks like a great project and I can see they are reading the comments here. They might appreciate the feedback and it might not be hard to act on it. Pl

I was tempted to try this but I'm fed up with getting spam from US-based companies so I'll only jump on board if they either comply with GDPR or otherwise tell a really good privacy story. Sadly that doesn't seem to be the ca

I would eat elsewhere if at all possible. You might not have many options though, or maybe you're with a group of people who love advertising.

Talking of R3, their recruiters reached out to me. I wish they'd mentioned Blockchain or crypto hype up front, it would have saved me a few minutes browsing their website.

That's a very energy-inefficient way of rewarding content creators. Given that most users are going to go through Coinbase et al, it's no different from any of the other similar schemes (anyone remember Flatr?) except that you hav

It's a great CV. Very focused on what matters. As you say the CV isn't the most important part, but it shows what you offer now and conveys your many years experience without the noise (e.g. details of what tools/frameworks y

What if you say no? It's not really consent if declining affects your chances of getting credit or, worse, employment.

Nice site. You should probably update it for Brexit though. There are two GDPRs, for now.

It's indirectly funded. The state passes a law granting a monopoly, and the copyright holder can sue for a breach. However this relies on the state providing courts, police, jails etc. (for people who breach court orders).

Does it even have to be their lifetime? 50 years from creation should suffice and they can put some of the profits during this time into a personal pension plan like the rest of us have to.

It's blocked in the UK as well, which is not in the EU or EEA, although does have the same privacy laws (UK GDPR). I assume they're blocking it because they don't care about user privacy. Their choice, but not a good sign.

This perpetual copyright extension fails to take into account the public's investment and contribution to keeping characters such as Mickey Mouse relevant. It really should be public property by now. Another example although, thankfull

The Hashicorp ones tend to be well written and informative. I have found them useful in the past, even though I usually loathe sales BS. In this case the bias is a bit more obvious but we know it's written by Hashicorp and can make all

This one sounds like it will be good for users, but I really don't like how Apple gets to regulate such a large part of the Internet. Why do governments devolve so much power to them?

Yeah, Amazon reviews are pretty broken. Not sure if this helps much, but I try to avoid buying from marketplace sellers. This is partly to avoid my personal data being shared with yet another company (it's been misused by marketplace s

Ok, it's to be a paid service. Well I checked their privacy policy and it's not very reassuring. I don't think I would sign up for a company that doesn't either fall into the jurisdiction of GDPR or commit to the same st
