Ask HN: How to Write a GPDR Subject Data Access Request

Posted by dangowango on Tuesday March 06, 2018 @03:31AM
from the ask-hn dept.

With GPDR around the corner, what is the appropriate procedure to request data access from companies? I have made the experience that with a lot of these types of requests, using email or website-based contact forms will not yield an answer. On the other hand, I'm not eager to use a lawyer, since I'm mainly curious (and also want my data deleted!)There's a difference between being right and...

Some of the categories are quite surprising, for example: space-nasa-tesla-rocket-launch-star-CHINA-nuclear as space; ruby not as programming; com-http-www-EMACS-LIST-org-book-pdf as junk; Those seem very specific, or plain wrongly classified. Maybe you can show them individually, just as a big dump of generated graphs? No need to make another post about it though, but i'd like to see them in context. Thanks!

But i totally agree with the need for a github for ppt (and other binary files, like doc, etc!)

Latex is pretty great. Use the Beamer packege. However, its drawback is that all slides look very similar, and it's very time-consuming to experiment with discrete slide layouts.

For most users I'd say this is one of the few scenarios where you really really want a graphical editor.

How to apply with a PhD that is 'on hold'

Posted by dangowango on Tuesday July 15, 2014 @06:05AM
from the self-post dept.

I have completed both BSc and MSc at very renowned universities of my field. I started a PhD-program, but decided to drop out after a year, as this specific program didn't suit me as well as I thought (poor due diligence on my side here...) I still intend to complete a PhD at a different university, but first I want to get three-four years of experience, when there is a good opportunity. How...

What's wrong with meatheads? As if getting in Bodybuilding-shape didnt require the same dedication as programming. I'd even say true bodybuilding is far more demanding than being a programmer. Not necessarily requiring as much math, but nobody in his right mind would compare against that.

Also, this program will not help you get in shape.

This is BS. Science should be focused on results and how to achieve them. Understanding primary research takes five years (BSc + Msc), and even then it requires hard work; Producing primary research is still a different league. I would think that 99% of primary research will not be read by the general public because they don't care enough to put in the hard work. Those who are willing wont need a poem to do it.
