no it’s not. but you should know what you’re getting into.

in the beginning of my PhD i really loved what i was doing. from an intellectually point of view i still do. but later, i.e. after 3 years doing a shitty postdoc, i realized that I was not cut out for academia but nevertheless loved doing science.

however, i was lucky to find a place in industry doing what i like.

so i guess my 2c is: think about what comes after the PhD and work towards that goal. a PhD is usually not a goal in itself. hth

thanks for the explanation. i guess it really doesn’t work as a meme if I’ve doesn’t happen to know this particular image.

bought mine 3 years ago. it’s my favorite summer sport now.

yeah this is what i used for some projects, i.e. rmarkdown which also integrates the statistics part

and then there are fucking PIs insisting on word files who never heard of tracked charges let alone of file naming conventions.

uh i didn’t know that’s cowboy coffee was the official name. i always thought that my dad came up with the name at some point that it has since stuck with the family. but yeah cowboy coffee it is. French press also makes great coffee

i find that unfiltered black coffee has a lot of body. 2 heaped teaspoons of ground coffee, 200ish mls of boiling water. let it soak, then stir carefully. the coffee sinks to the bottom leaving you with rich flavorful goodness.

if it remember it correctly it was said in relation to algorithm optimization > code optimization

awesome! thanks the tip!

die hard.

I’m using vim mode in my bash and i agree that a mode indicator would be nice

agree. at the same time i wonder whether the usual authentication system is adequate given a) the sensitive nature of the data and b) the data’s implications for people who have not signed up, e.g., if my cousin signs up and provides data, the data he provides is not really his but, in a way, also mine. so, i wonder how much data processing is really covered by my cousin’s consent, given that it is not really his data alone, and whether, given this circumstances, special provisions should have been provided by the processor.

(personally i tend to believe that companies like 23&me should not exist in the first place, given that their operation requires processing of sensitive data from people who have not consented to the use of their data, i.e. processing of relational data should require consent of all related partners.)

they need to identify you, not necessarily using your id card.

chapter 3, section 1, artcle 12, paragraphs 1 & 2.

i doubt there is profit to be made. it’s more to keep them busy and learning about gdpr.

they they need to id you everytime you exercise your gdpr rights. there is nothing they can do about this.

one of your rights under gdpr is that you are entitled (free of charge) to a listing of all the data the other party has about you.

when you ask them about this listing this request itself becomes data the party has about you. it should therefore he included in the listing. (it is self referential, but that’s how it is).

if the information that you requested such a listing is missing from the data they provide in response to you request, they are in breach of gdpr rules. from them on you might want to file a complaint.

( I’ve no idea whether this would result in any meaningful compensation, if at all. but at least it should keep them busy.)

i guess it’s related to the following; exercising your rights under gdpr requires the other party to be able to identify you. that’s why they need this information. if you want to (potentially) fuck with them: first ask for a listing of all the information they have about you, before asking for deleting your data. this listing must contain the request itself. if your request is missing, they are likely breaking compliance rules.
