Can I ask what specific pain points you have with Gitlab CI? I've been using it extensively the last couple of years and all in all it's been a pretty smooth experience!

Re:Tracking Covid-19 variant B.1.1.529
on Friday November 26, 2021 @09:53AM (#29350708)
I believe the theory is that since this variant has so many mutations, it evolved over quite some time within a single host with a lowered immune response. Makes sense that this would happen in an area with high HIV prevalence.

That makes a lot of sense. I played around with it in German and Italian and the results often times read like they were google translated from English. So there must be lots of auto-translated content from spam sites in the corpus, I guess.

Re:Facebook's GDPR consent bypass reaches Austrian Supreme Court

That's patently false. The Austrian judiciary is divided into general courts and courts of public law. The "Oberster Gerichtshof" is not "below" the supreme court, it's the highest court of a different branch.

AI is simultaneously over-hyped and a game-changer. To paraphrase a famous Marketing quip, the problem is that you need to be a domain expert as well as an ML expert in order to judge which are the over-hyped parts.
As a consultant specializing in building Data Science teams, I've been shouting this idea that you can only build AI products on top of a robust data pipeline and, more importantly, culture, from the roof-tops for years. Monica Rogati's formulization of it, the "AI hierarchy of needs"[0] helps a lot to instill a mental image in managers.

Re:Block Facebook Servers

Not necessarily true, since regulations are EU law that is immediately enforceable in member states, and are not generally transposed into state law.

GDPR directly doesn't apply to the UK anymore (except for organisations that handle data of EU citizen, of course) but the UK chose to enact the GDPR into UK law via the Data Protection Law of 2018, which is aptly dubbed "UK GDPR".
