But why would I be running anything other than Linux...

I know nothing about this... However, I can see a little bit of sense to this (not much - and nothing that couldn't be solved a lot better). If you have access to the source code it is very easy to start adding patches. On the other hand if you have access to binaries it is also very easy to start modifying them...

Why are you using experimental OSs on work machines? The LTS versions exist for a reason.

And if your data is really big then so long as it is structured something like BigQuery lets you carry on using standard SQL queries...

The trick is to do both. Then you have addressed nearly 5% (rounding up a bit) of the US's fossil fuel dependence...

There is a difference between can and should. Third party entertainment systems should not be a problem. In reality they are because of bad designs.

Except that this business saves money by allowing a representative of a third party to take the notes. The third party then notes down who sits in the chairs, follows them into the appointment and follows their client to the next business and do the same there.

This isn't about law it is about ethics.

I wouldn't like it if someone followed me around meatspace with a clipboard all day. I don't like it online either.

> we don't tie GA or any other usage analytics to individual users

You may not identify individual users but Google probably do...

> we should put this somewhere more prominent

You should make it opt in by default. Or stop doing it!

In a free country nobody forces people to become IP lawyers nor are you born an IP lawyer. Becoming one involves a series of choices.

> fuelcell

Sort of like a battery?

Out of interest what do you regard as a valid phone number?

Does this open the path to running android apps on gnu/linux desktop?

And... You've just lost standards compliance so you can't use any standards compliant clients. This is a terrible hack of a workaround and you know it :)

Have you tried rtfm?

  man xset

You don't have to model something as complex as our own universe. You only need to model something complex enough that the beings inside the model can't prove that it is a simulation.

EDIT: Also who says that time inside the simulation has to run the same rate as real time?

I would also not bother to calculate things like the momentum or position of particles until I had to...

I'd probably use some sort of hybrid wave/particle model to facilitate the last minute calculations.

I suggest that you consult a lawyer.

EDIT: In my layman's opinion pressing that button is an explicit request to delete the data. Also the kind of behavior you are suggesting is not private-by-default and goes against the spirit of the law. I don't think that a judge will look kindly on it.

I am not a lawyer. I am not your lawyer. I suggest that you consult a lawyer.

You may even be able to keep comments/posts for longer for general compliance. You will need an audit explaining why and to be prepared to defend it. You won't be able to use such data for analytics.

This is based on my personal layman's understanding. I am NOT a lawyer. I am NOT your lawyer. If you need legal advice consult a competent lawyer in your jurisdiction.

Why be the test case? Your company will be severely impacted by a fine.

This is why I said as of ?may?. The GDPR comes into force this year.

This one is at least...

Yes.

It means deleted as in gone.

Your backups should be cycled after a few months and the deleted data will eventually not be present in any backups.

If you are in the EU and press delete and the database owner (data controller) does not delete the post then the database owner is now breaking the law. As of ?may? this will carry significant fines.

Transpiling is a type of compiling.

You have just been hired as their new rockstar developer. If HR lose you over this HR will be taking some flak.

Just speak to your future line manager and explain that you have returned a modified version of the contract and that you hope that they will agree to it soon because you are really excited to start working.

Ghost them.

More likely websites will just block Tor exit nodes + whole swaths of IP space (i.e. all AWS+GCP+Azur+DO etc IPs).

Isn't the idea to decide the architecture then update the org-chart to reflect this?

Not that this actually happens-or would be a particularly good idea if it did for other reasons (like breaking up teams etc).
