Best case: there's a lot of legal kerfuffle and he is a multi-billionaire

The catch is the time you need to wait / migrate the newly invalid data.

All that NOT VALID does is add the validation for inserts and updates but does not check the existing data. This does let it get away with a less restrictive level of locking.

However there may be data which is not valid for a long long time, the "concurrently" query could be running forever.

https://www.monicahq.com/ is the one I recall, I bet searching for personal CRM will turn up others in the space

Do people actually use ORM to avoid writing SQL (there are other patterns for that), or do they use it because it saves writing the boilerplate of object hydration?

Well for Norway that proves the point. Have you saw the coast of Norway? It's heavily punctured by fjords which mean a lot of up and down. Many communities are connected to many of their neighbours by car ferries, not roads.

In the UK it's pretty well known that it all goes to Sellafield.

That doesn't have to be how those transactions work. In the UK that goes: park, fill, go to cashier, pay. It's still a little bit more inconvenient.

> They're not using Excel for any other NHS databases

I assure you that you're wrong. The SaaS I work for replaces a suite of independently re-invented Excel files used in conjunction with other SaaS. NHS trusts are our main customers, I can only assume the NHS is full of excel spreadsheets.

(Technically speaking PHE is not part of the NHS, it has more in common with the civil service in some ways.)

Yes it was copied and pasted into UK law (along with local tweaks) as the Data Protection Act 2018.

Lego have got this down pat. Rather than being solely reliant on external IP like Star Wars and Harry Potter where they only get one slice of the cake (and share that) they made their own IP. The most successful IP is Ninjago, there's about a dozen TV series, one film, one computer game, a theme park ride, books serialising the TV series, "fact books", clothing and the full range of merchandise.

London is the city with the sixth biggest French population. There are more French people living in London than in Bordeaux or Strasbourg for example.

The UK has a similar system - agreed between the four main ISPs and the government, rather than legally binding. The code of practice says that subscribers must be forced to make a choice between a filtered or unfiltered internet connection.

The parent voiced no opinion on NATO or Trump. Just the verifiable fact that Trump has opened up leaving. We don't need this topic to turn into a US trump politics thread.

Under EU rules (the CAP, which uses a large part of the EU budget) basically every farm whether dairy or crop is subsidised. For many dairy farms in upland regions, crop farming isn't economically viable due to the terrain, so cows and sheep are farmed instead. Even then many farms are only viable due to the subsidies.

The Data Protection Act 2018 essentially copies the gdpr into UK law, tweaks the corners where allowed under gdpr and adds afew other things.

webusb doesn't work in chromium snap, I haven't noticed anything else.

The other way around - google's browser could figure out that it's a google analytics snippet and not run it. Kind of like the existing google analytics chrome opt-out extension does.

By that standard so is the whole of America. There's a line to draw somewhere.

Humans are irrational creatures. They're not robots. This is a feature not a bug.

It'd probably be the 6th largest in the eu. Smaller than Italy, France and Spain which all have lockdowns.

You'd be surprised what you can get out of short Reddit comments if they're posting in multiple subs for long enough, see https://redditmetis.com/ for example.

I use AWS Amplify, it makes all of these headaches go away and it's ridiculously simple to configure.

1. Add your domain in AWS Route 53

2. Tell it which git repo & branch you want to use (including private github ones)

3. It detects the repo contains a hugo site (works for other ssg) and generates a build script

So now every time I commit to my selected branch, Lambda is notified, it fires up a vm to generate the html, move it into S3 and takes care of Cloudfront, SSL & so on.

The lawyers are correctly suggesting how to minimise legal risk, it's up to HR and the company if they feel like the risk is worth it.

The lawyer isn't likely to get upside of giving feedback, they will likely get the downside of the company gets involved in legal stuff.

In the UK all big banks offer "basic" (no credit attached) free bank accounts as the government were musing placing a public service obligation on them to make it compulsory.

In the UK, government benefits are paid by bank transfer.

Because they think they need the top talent, and the top talent is willing to work elsewhere where more money is on offer.

Sorry for being a technical pedant but .uk is a ccltd, there are alternatives to .co.uk like .nhs.uk .gov.uk etc

In the long term for sure, but for individual families considering to relocate they're looking at the short term. How long does it take to "make" the schools better, and how many of the ten or so years your child is in education before the level gets back to what they already have.

At what point do electric vehicles make that untrue?

> Currently Uber only collects 25% of the fair for itself. The rest is for the human driving.

Who pays for the car currently? In the UK it's not uber, it's the human as far as I've understood it.
