It does, if the company has any branch/office/agent or similar in the EU, or if it targets their services/website to EU residents.
What "targets" means exactly in this case I'm not sure, but given that YC actively markets to EU based companies too, I would think that GDPR applies to them as well.
From employee perspective I have been mostly happy with these services.
There has been some minor issues and extra hazzle, but nothing major, and the 2-3x salary compared to local levels certainly helps offset any small issues
Employer wanting to terminate an employee or employer going bankrupt, while maybe not common certainly happens, and it is built-in to their business model. Most of these services do require deposit that covers at least 1-2 months of salary + costs (up to even 6 months of salary), which is meant for these type of cases.
That being said, I do think many of these services are at least partly skirting the laws, or at least threading on a very thin line. As far as I know, most especially EU jurisdictions don't really have exact laws for EOR specifically. In general labor laws do apply though, of which these services sometimes have quite interesting/creative interpretations. But as long as things go well and everyone is happy, I don't think anyone really cares.
Interesting comment. How about people just like different things?
I have heard that Iceland has plenty of stuff to do and various festivals year around. Just because it's not 30+ celsius and sunny everyday doesn't mean that "there is nothing there"
Yeah most companies simply don't care, and/or they don't have the processes the address issues like that
They also likely get dozens of similarly looking messages each day from "developing country" "pentesters" for irrelevant issues, so your message could have also ended up with similar looking "spam"
If you mean the chat.openai.com ones, those just look like SEO experiments. They all follow similar format, and match what's shown on the carousel on the left-hand side of the page
Do you think it's good idea to migrate from monolith to microservices before scaling the team?
We are essentially doing this right now, I personally don't think the teams are yet large enough to warrant this migration, but leadership says that we can't scale further before we have microservices. Imo most of the problems could be solved with increased testing and knowledge about the system. The tech also could definitely still scale with just by boosting the hardware and occasional performance passes on slow endpoints/queries.
My guess is that the training data includes things specifically about the GPT itself and its capabilities, so it would be somewhat correct. But it's also known to just make shit up when it feels like it, so you can't 100% trust it, same as with all other prompts/responses.
For Coda this makes sense to kind of kickstart/boost their AI efforts.
But not immediately clear to me why Grammarly is interested in building their own doc builder tool?
