Puts

This sounds like dangerous advice. This will put your team in a position where you constantly just know enough to solve a specific task at hands but never plan ahead.

I would say any one using external recruiters are setting themself up to employing liars. Searching for jobs it's incredibly frustrating talking to a person who for once can't answer any technical questions of what the job is about, but also just crossing of a bucket list to see if you are qualified to talk to another recruiter with a bucket list. Instead of competing with liars I've just stopped applying for jobs going through external recruiters.

Isn't it interesting though that the people who don't have the technical understanding of why most cryptocurrencies at the core are unsustainable, just as the housing market was in 2006 are still the ones making money on it?

When betting in any market understanding people and psychology seems to be more important than understanding the product.

I could see a lot of reason why Shopify would more or less be force to do this. If the transaction appears to be initiated on their site they may both be liable for PCI DSS and GDPR.

I've noticed that there's a similarity now with bikes and headphones where focus on technology actually has left consumers with higher prices and less choice by killing the middle segment. If you want a racer today it's probably going to have hydraulic disc brakes and carbon frame and electric gears, and an entry level bike will cost twice as much as an pro-bike 15 years ago. Besides there are only so many models a manufacturer can make and they also need to fill the electric bikes segment which reduces the middle range even more.

I think we seen this exact same thing since apple killed of the headphone jack forcing people to Bluetooth headphones. Now you either buy super cheep headphones, or super expensive ones. But there's basically no middle range. And since headphone manufacturers not traditionally been doing software they don't have the skills in-house which makes them buy the technology from elsewhere and leaves the consumer with basically the exact same products but with different logos - which means even less actual choice.

I pay for a lot of subscription services like music- and film streaming, and SAAS-services but would never ever give my contact- and payment details to a newspaper or magazine. Newspapers and magazines brought their death on them self imo. People will pay for your service if they can trust them with their information, and not be harassed.

This was published almost one and a half year before the Bloomberg story:

Why do you completely cut tie with a big supplier over security concerns and at the same time don't disclose why? I'd say this is exceptional in the business of IT-security.

"No evidence" is maybe a little harsh? They have government sources testifying, they have people working for semiconductor manufacturers testifying on getting briefings from FBI. They have court documents on similar incidents with Lenovo? I get that this story very much is about who you chose to believe, but to say "no evidence" makes me think you didn't bother to read the article.

Microplastics is a huge problem, BUT I can't imagine this being worse than things like tiers and shoe soles.

This made me think about how different it is to motivate people to exercise. Some people seams to need a full on military boot camp to get exercise done, and some people just totally shuts down when someone tells them what to do. When it comes to management, we don't only need to understand that different people need different types of motivation, but also that something that is essential to motivate some can be directly contra productive and harmful to others motivation.

I think my comment might have been severely misunderstood. By saying that everybody struggles I did not mean "Stop wining because it's worse for others". What I meant was, we all go thorough periods when our spoons are not enough, and that this is totally okay. Going trough difficulties and thinking you are the only one is harmful and feeling alone in such circumstances is unnecessary because we all find our self there sometimes.

"Most people start the day with unlimited amount of possibilities"

I think the comments to this post testifies that no one has unlimited spoons. Most people struggle. Some more, some less.

Making people click is not the problem. People follow garbage click-bait links all the time. Design is not just about "making things look nice". It's just as much about creating identity. What does it matter if you bring users to your site if it's the wrong kind that does not convert to real customers? Seems like there's a particular type of business leaders that thinks marketing is just a numbers game.

To make sure you have at least one exploitable device with a buffer overflow triggered by a malformed TCP-packge? :D

When people complain about CSS they seem to forget that HTML and CSS started as basically an Word-alternative, or actually more like an RTF-format for the web. Doing anything other than that is simply misuse, and all features we slap on to CSS3 and HTML5 does not change this. That's the reason you can not center a div without "hacks".

It's like those creative kids building super Mario-clones in Excel, It's certainly possible but it's still madness. But I guess those kids don't complain about Excel being a lousy game engine...

I don't understand whats wrong with this article. It seems well balanced with many sources and it even ends with representatives from BioNTech getting the last words saying that the risk are minuscules and wont outweigh the benefits?

How can it be a nonstory when the experts in the article are so divided? One said they had to stop trails with PEG drugs because someone died, and another says they are not the cause of allergic reactions at all, while a third says yes they are but they are triggered by different antibodies. Seems like we actually don't know much about this at all then?

I guess future will tell. An interesting thing from the book mentioned is that how toxic something is is not only about the amount we are exposed to, but also at what stage in life. Apparently premature babies have higher cancer rate later in life because they where exposed to these endocrine disruptors from intubation at such a sensitive period in their development.

Yes. Plastic often in them self contain endocrine disrupting or even cancerous chemicals but also plastic when released in to water has proven to bind itself to different toxins.For anyone interested in this subject I can recommend the book Plastic - A toxic love story by Susan Freinkel.

One thing you can do is stop buying clothes with nylon and polyester (which is hard to find but not impossible) since these release plastic particles when you wash them which eventually enters the sea and the food chain.

This is probably little of a grey area. I don't think that the IP-address by itself is considered personal data since it usually doesn't single out a specific living person. Unless you pair it with other information, like date and time.

But if IP was considered personal data you would need an active consent from the user where you also inform them why you are doing this, which paragraph in GDPR gives you legal right to do this, how long the data is stored and you will need a data processing agreement with Cloudflare. You will also need to be able to prove that you made sufficient effort to make sure you are not handling data of someone under 16 years of age.

People often think that GDPR is made to forbid processing of personal data. Actually you can pretty much do anything with peoples information and still be GDPR compliant. It's more that it becomes such a hassle to do it and still be compliant that it's just not worth it to collect personal data "just because you can".

Yes since GDPR states that personal data is any piece of information that uniquely identifies a living person, creating a unique identifier for each visitor by definition will make you a data processor.

I would say in my experience CSRF-protection has proven very effective at even preventing targeted password brute-force.

I've come to the conclusion that most bots are not that sophisticated. Basic CSRF-protection seems to eliminate most automated requests and the need for captchas.

I would think so.

First of all bio-polymers is nothing new and revolutionary. The first plastics where bio-polymers like bakelite made from cellulose. The only reason we started making polymers from oil is because it's a rest product from the oil-industry and thus cheap but the inherent properties of polymers are the same whether they come from oil or plants and they typically don't break down in nature. The only positive thing with plant based polymers is that they could to some degree be considered carbon neutral.

But there seems to be a lot of misunderstanding that keeps spreading because we inherently think bio-polymers should be bio-degradable because they are made from organic material. There is one bio-based polymer in particular, PLA that is actually said to be bio-degredable and used in paper cups but this is in industrial facilities and not in nature where the degrading process is at lest 70 years under optimal circumstances.

And there are more problems with polymers then just the fact that they don't brake down in nature. They contain toxic and endocrine disrupting chemicals like BPA.

I remember as a kid in the 90s there was coffee mugs made of potato starch. It was said you could even eat the mug itself if you wanted to. Wonder what happened to those?

This is both a scary and weird comment. Everything we do is politics in some form. Even the decision on what toilet paper to use is political and can have both social and environmental impacts.

OMG, can you imagine all the magnetic stripes on credit cards that will be corrupted by the MagSafe?!?!?

I think this article was posted here a while back:

It's ironic how GMO has been sold as the solution to poverty and starvation and then in reality it's just been used to prevent poor farmers from reusing seeds by slightly changing and copyrighting them. Yay for humanity!

Don't miss the disturbing bodycam footage that's linked from within the article:
