Your attitude seems pretty bad. I don’t think that was the point I was making at all. This seems exactly like a case where computer algorithms would function worse than humans. It …

In Sweden, the government does the work for most normal cases. They send you a suggestion of “this is all we know about” and you just say “yeah, seems right” via SMS. In Ireland yo…

Living now in the US I am confused why houses are so big and yards so small. Well, not confused, it makes financial sense for builders, but a bit sad. I’d much rather have a smalle…

And there are a lot of regulators. Some of them a lot more combative than others. That is my main reason for dislike for the regulations. Overall I support the regulations, but I r…

The regulation is very ambiguous. Try to understand what is even personal data from this: https://ico.org.uk/for-organisations/guide-to-data-protectio... It is all about risk, ambi…

At any kind of scale that is 100% not the case. The orchestration of a data extract from even a midsized corporation is a significant endeavour. Someone in the company knowing what…

The argument of employers being these evil things that hold no loyalty is tiresome. Loyalty is not a black and white thing. I can list close to 15 years of small experiences that m…
