Agree to GDPR?

de
GDPR

GDPR = General Data Protection Regulation.

Some people, in their terms and conditions checkboxes, use things like „Do you agree with the GDPR terms?”.

But that’s a rather lazy way of getting out of doing your work.

One should find out the exact criteria GDPR requires for the website and apply them to the website.

You can’t just say, „Do you agree with everything?”.

That’s not how things work.

One should agree to specific terms and conditions, not all.

Also, when not linking to GDPR itself, you expect people to know GDPR by heart. That’s pretty much absurd.

Future WorkForce startup, UiPath certified, helps HR specialists automatically generate certificates for employees who must go to work during this period

If you look 20, 40, or 60 years ago at sports competitions and compare them with the situation of today, you might notice that lots of things have changed in team preparation. New techniques, new methods.

This likely means that 20 years from now, we’ll look at the current day and say, „we were so obsolete!”.

The solution? Try to innovate and don’t think that if everyone else is doing things a certain way, that’s the optimal solution.

In which language to hold an online conference?

de
Karl Davison - Bluetooth Speaker Grille

Let’s say you have an online conference in two languages (Romanian + English, for example).

Some speakers know English, others know Romanian.

You might be tempted to ask the visitors – do you prefer English/Romanian?

But there’s another option – the standard should be both English and Romanian, and the translation should be optional.

If you assume the visitors only know one language, you might annoy those visitors that speak both languages.

Favorite book of mine: Essentials of Understanding Psychology, by Robert S. Feldman

de

A favorite book of mine: Essentials of Understanding Psychology, by Robert S. Feldman (Amazon link »). An old review of mine (I will review this later on): I want to discuss in this message about the work „Essentials of Understanding Psychology”, written by Professor Robert S. FELDMAN (available on Amazon). How did I buy it? The Doulos vessel, a vessel on which culture and books are promoted, came to Constanta at a certain time, in the summer of 2003. I am from Navodari, I was in Navodari at that time, and when I heard the news I was happy. I always liked to read very much, so I took advantage of the event. I was in Constanta especially for the event, at 9 o’clock I was in the port, and I waited properly for the opening of the ship where international books were bought at good prices. There were so many people there! And a steam beauty. I looked at almost all the books on the ship, more leisurely or on the run. I chose about 5 books in English, and one of them was „Essentials of Understanding Psychology”, which I mentioned above. To give you an idea, the last version has 563 pages and is probably in the same format, A4. It’s an enormity of a book. At that time, I did not understand English 100%, but I wrote down any new word and later looked it up in a dictionary on the Internet. And give it to him and read it and look …
