Agile peaked with Extreme Programming and paper story cards, since then all that seems to have happened is the adoption of more tools/process that missed the whole point of it. The most productive project I ever worked on followed that method - but it's very hard to scale up.

I worked somewhere where we dumped our (very complicated) 'agile' tracking tool and went back to cards, and productivity increased, people actually communicated. We did eventually add in JIRA, to support remote team members but banned 'customization', 'workflows' and all the things that actually get in the way of being an Agile team.

The most bizarre App Store rejection I’ve seen was for a TV app which was rejected by Play for ‘Policy Violation’ without much explanation… After several rounds of resubmissions and emails it turned out the problem was some channels on it were in 4:3 (not widescreen). Google required we add a ‘warning’ to the App Store description that it contains 4:3 content!

Try using Cloudflare R2 with zero egress and you'll rapidly discover there are lots of 'gotchas'... - Want to use a cloudflare managed domain - pay for egress if you have enterprise account - Want to use their 'dev' domain - rate limited

It's still a good service - but zero egress comes with conditions. The only exception I've found is Cloudflare pages which seems genuinely zero egress (as long as you don't proxy it through a managed domain).

It may not be legal depending on how it’s done - this was Asus UK and the rules are on https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/online-reviews-an...

The UK Government are also in processing tightening this up…

The question is how did you do training. If in the process you 'copied' the image (e.g. from network to memory) you did require copyright.

Reading with a human is not copying, but reading by machine is - there are several cases where that has been enforced. This is covered by reproduction rights.

It's been pretty clear from all the guidence (e.g https://ico.org.uk/for-organisations/guide-to-data-protectio...) issued around GDPR 'forced consent' would not work - Facebook decided to try and push the limits and now have a massive fine.

What's slightly surprising is how long it's taken to get to the massive fines stage.

The law has passed - but it also has exemptions for security.... So we can expect a lot of negotiating between the EU & Apple/Google on what they actually have to do.
