The obvious answer is a relational structure. In the given example, host, status, path and target should be separate relations. They'll all be tiny ones, a few rows each. Of course, performance etc are a separate story but as far as th

My Yahoo mail account was created as a Rocketmail account, likely in 1996 or 97, when Rocketmail launched and became the biggest Hotmail rival. Yahoo acquired it and it became Yahoo mail. So 27 or 28 years

It's amusing that NYT spends so much verbiage in the complaint speaking so highly of itself as doing some great service to humanity and then stating a legal argument that is equally applicable to a trash-rag dishing out celebrity gossi

Launching a small company is an even bigger nightmare, and that's actually the bigger problem. The legal cost of dealing with a few _mistaken_ (or fake) GDPR complaints can wipe you out. The bigger company will have inhouse or retainer
