   I'm building Provisor: situational awareness for event organizers. See your team on the map; and position & collaborate in real-time. Like ATAK, but much simpler to use.

   The bridge is an historical artifact, it isn't used as a bridge.

   If I calculated correctly, the 75th percentile is about 43k in euro's. That's quite a bit below market for the Netherlands, but does not take cost of living into account.

   Citation needed. Most engineers I know in The Netherlands (around 200) have bought their home.

   It is in the Netherlands, permanent surveillance of employees without a specific reason (read: related to a specific instance or incident) is not permitted.

    Yes. Definitively yes. If you're a typical web developer or agency, you're going to have a lot of one-off engagements, project and campaign websites. Those cost money to support, and your customer should supply that money. We never host without both a modest hosting fee, and a SLA for fixes, updates and perfective maintenance.

    I suppose it would be easy to carry a secondary, hidden device and only use your primary device for inconspicuous activities?

    This fails utterly when you can't control your clients. My student society for example ran into this problem. Students bring their own laptops and installing our root certificate on all of them is infeasible (if they even would allow us to do so). As a consequence, we need to expose critical internal services on the public internet, some of which contain private user data.

    The argument "it's good for SEO!" sometimes helps convince colleagues/customers who are otherwise unconvinced. Well, whatever floats your boat..

    I've started to notice that customers are getting uneasy at the prospect of incoming legislation here in The Netherlands. I believe there's a new law in the works that makes accessibility mandatory in some cases, mostly pseudo-government related content though, so its scope remains limited.

    I'm aware of most techniques for making websites more accessible, and try to apply them where possible.

    Unfortunately, the problem is most often not in applying the techniques, but convincing non-technical colleagues that these steps are important, even if they take a little longer.

    I can't seem to find the documentary you're referring to, any pointers?

    Seems like an intentional pluralization miss to keep "consistency". I'd prefer to closely reflect the clients terminology though.

    Using HSTS on a website will generally prevent your browser from allowing you to continue, which is fair: the website owner has explicitly indicated the website should only ever be used over a encrypted connection, and that is not the case..

    Minor gripe: that's the time it takes you to read both the introduction, think about the context and judge the comment. Presumably, one would save a few seconds (and thus a lot of time in the long run) by being aware of the context and the article while working.

    Still: major amounts of work. Though I presume that having comments hidden by default would take off some pressure: commenters won't know/notice their comments takes 14:55 or 13:29 to show up publicly.

    No, Fedex would have been liable if it had knowingly continued to ship illegal drugs after having been notified by the government. In this case, Fedex asked for needed details, and was rejected.
