For those of you wondering, it appears that the company mentioned in the article, GreenLionSoft [1], develops apps that show public transportation schedules in Spain, at least as of 2017 [2]. Their Google Play page still exists in some pla

Is it known whether this was a deliberate political statement in response to recent events in China, or just a festive holiday joke intended to be harmless? Given the current state of affairs in China, I’m inclined to believe this was polit

Almost. I started the process—downloaded all my data, etc. Unfortunately, I couldn’t go through with it for reasons I’m embarrassed to admit: 1. One entire side of my extended family relies on it for all familial communications. I was force

I’ve seen the email sent to aaomidi, and it didn’t say that. It’s possible that they revised the notice after receiving complaints, but the initial batch was worded rather harshly without any indication that it was possible to appeal.

And if they don't comply, what then? None of the penalties can actually be enforced if they have no presence in Europe, unless the US decides to cooperate, which seems unlikely.

The EU claims that's not how it works. Everyone else claims that is how it works. It's highly unlikely that the EU will actually be able to enforce it globally.

This article is brilliantly written. I could write an article about how much I enjoyed reading this article, but then I’d be distracting you from what I actually want you to read. Go read it.

We use ELK (Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana) quite heavily for this at my company. It works, and it works well. We feed massive amounts of data into it--it's not unusual for our indices to grow by 50 GiB in a single day, which is qui

I appreciate the interest, but this is definitely premature. I still haven't been able to reproduce it in controlled tests. As I said in the thread to which you linked, I'll follow up once I've fully investigated.

Yup, it'll be on there once I finish debugging. Edit: I'm having trouble reproducing it in a controlled environment, so a proper post mortem is probably going to have to wait for another day.

It probably does. It'll take me a while to dig through the source to find the cause, but preliminary evidence suggests that fastcgi_cache_key doesn't handle $cookie_* variables correctly. If the cookie doesn't exist, it see

Meta: NamePros tech admin here. This hammered our servers so hard that we actually uncovered a fairly obscure bug in Nginx's FastCGI caching. It's gone unnoticed for years, including during rigorous load testing.

GDPR is almost exclusively for personal content (as in: name, email address), whereas most of the content on Quora isn't personal. GDPR makes no effort to allow you erase that. You can certainly take efforts to restrict its movement,

I do get a sense that they put more effort into marketing and growth than actually fostering a solid knowledge base. However, an interesting point was raised in another comment: comparable sites that focus on quality often come across as u

Site guidelines aside, your wording is rather rude. You probably could've said the same thing without the "get off your high horse" bit.

The impression I got is that they more or less just show you duplicate questions, when such duplicates really shouldn't exist in the first place.

You don't actually have the right to be forgotten, even within GDPR. That provision was heavily modified before GDPR passed, and the final phrasing doesn't really grant you the ability to erase all of your content from the intern

That's definitely true, though I find that the less technical platforms are laxer. However, that level of quality control is exactly what keeps me coming back. If you ask a stupid question, SO is going point it out rather bluntly. Q

I never found the quality to be anywhere near as good as Stack Exchange, even when Quora first launched. Why anyone would knowingly use Quora over Stack Exchange is a mystery to me; I suspect that most Quora users simply aren't aware

For anyone else reading this, the link cited above contains a wealth of technical and practical information about peppers and related flavors, and it even delves into the psychological aspects of spiciness. It’s a great read.

As someone who's never even been to Canada, this article makes little sense to me. Who are these Indigenous people, and why would anyone want to do this to them? Skimming some of the other comments, it seems I'm not alone in thi

The article itself is very low quality. This isn’t even news. Stuff like this happens to thousands of people every day.

Nobody else forces 2FA, so it’s not really fair to blame Google here. Even Apple, while strongly encouraging it, doesn’t actually force you to enable it.

If you're going to test it out, consider signing up through Parsec instead of Paperspace. Paperspace provides the servers/GPUs and Parsec provides the game streaming software. You can sign up directly with either of them and get

This sounds pretty dubious to me. I'm fairly certain I read somewhere on the CDC website that needleless injections aren't any less painful than needles, and may even be more painful. If I recall correctly, the advantages are re
