Because of business loans and tax breaks it looks like companies will come out of this profitable and the government will pay for the workers during this period.

I agree this makes no sense, i pay the subscription fee so that I can get service when I need it.

One medical advantage is if I feel sore/sick I can always get a same day appointment and they treat me like a person .... which is a huge advantage.

I tried HMO and my "doctor" needed a minimum of 30 days notice to see me .... basically not helpful for being sick

We also need to consider modernizing our "trade" skill list.

Based on the success of bootcamps etc.... I do wonder if software engineering would be better as a trade skill rather than university

I think that this hits the nail on the head. That often the bulk of the people who use enterprise software are not the true end-user.

Think of Salesforce which people who use it complain about daily. The end-users are actually all the people who get the reporting and sales management out of Salesforce. They love it as a tool. The sales people are only data entry people... Therefore its optimized towards the true end-users.

Yes, a common use case for a marketing platform is to retarget opted out users as they have demonstrated some affinity for your brand.

Most likely just don't need to receive 2-3 emails a day from you

Hey checked out your site and its really nice. I like the concept but found it hard to actually create a notebook and checkout.

It might help to have some simple styles pre-done and allow me to choose the one I like as the builder is pretty intimidating.

This has to be costing Amazon a fortune at the moment

I think that this is a critical point to understand and it highlights why Scrum has been so successful. We know from research in the 80's, and 90's 90% of Software projects failed, due to things like poor estimates or wrong requirements or delays.

Agile/Scrum has addressed a significant portion of those concerns by introducing lean processes. This visibility has enabled the business to understands what is happening in the SDLC quickly and can reprioritize and redirect if things are no longer matching expectations.

Where Scrum tends to fail (IMHO) is that it doesn't integrate well with other business units. I think the industry needs to focus on release management (predicting outcomes) as a process to help marketing teams, sales teams, etc... if they need to know what is happening in the next quarter, etc...

Either that or everyone needs to wait until engineering is finished before talking about new features (sounds a bit like the tail wagging the dog)

Thank you! This post starts to show some of the huge complexities that GDPR has for business and their understanding of what the terms of the law mean.

A point is that often statements of a law are defined not by the language but by the ruling of lawsuits that occur around those statements and that is what most companies and lawyers are waiting for, what do courts rule when these lawsuits happen.

The biggest issue that I have heard of (Im no expert) is what does the right to be forgotten actually mean ? Does that mean all your backups are now illegal as you are retaining the customers information after they asked you to remove their records?

I think some of the fear that smaller business have is that this will encourage lawsuits until people understand how the courts will rule on each item.

100% agree, Im a little surprised how shocked everyone is in this "exposure" as if you look at any AdTech they talk about this as a standard feature (audience matching etc...)

I wonder if it is relate to copyright issues associated with the sale of twitch.tv

As in Google saying they can't deal with these videos without proper acceptance of their terms of service.

The timing seems to indicate they are trying to offload the content ASAP.

From a cost perspective, they are already paying for it and 1 week vs 1 month would not make that much of a difference if it was a "product feature"

I've heard of this before as "Not invented here" syndrome. Frameworks are powerful as they give all developers a common language and methodology for doing repeatable tasks, meaning that when I need to fix a bug in your code, I know how it is architected and where the code should be because you have used a framework I understand.

Not to mention that these frameworks undergo alot more extensive testing than an average developers code will ever go through. By using a framework you benefit from not having to go through the pain of dealing with all the different browser models and quirks that every version introduces or takes away.

For really advanced or incredibly high performance tasks you might be correct but to me that is the 1% of tasks, for everything else a framework should give you all the scaffolding you need allowing you to instead focus on tasks that add real value into the product/service you are working on.

The url length means I can't test most URLs
