That may be the case for some countries but it doesn't really explain the difference between the US/Canada and Europe or Australia.

I think the price of mobile data in Australia well and truly puts to rest the "US is big" argument. Also I'd say puts to rest arguments about wages/regulation being the issue.

I cannot imagine it will ever happen but I'd like to see the spec precisely defined in terms of core "axiomatic" functionality (JS, layout engine, core CSS rules), and peripheral functionality built on the core functionality.

FWIW. My wife is Japanese and I lived in Japan through Fukushima as well. A lot of people seem to think that Japan must somehow have a higher infection rate but I haven't seen any evidence that this is true. For all the docileness of t

I imagine that even if Facebook goes the data will be bundled up and sold to third parties - a somewhat scary thought. Not that Facebook has been a good steward of the data so far but its hard to imagine vulturous third parties being better

Without more context it seems hard to make conclusions from the data presented. In terms of the raw figures both Daily Active Users and Monthly Active Users are up. However Monthly Active Users has increased at a faster rate than Daily Acti

Interesting anecdote about FastMail, I was previously C++ dev lead at a company with a large (1~2 mloc) legacy code base. Most of the C++ code was layers of mess but there was also a very well engineered core. One name consistently appeared

The Netherlands is in the EU. They have total unrestricted access to the EU market, which is exactly where the vast majority of their agricultural exports go.

Not to talk down the Dutch achievement too much but the quality of statistics used in this article is terrible. Total monetary value of agricultural exports is a terrible way to measure output. It doesn't take into account: 1. Re-expor

Just to add to this, it is also a requirement to give consideration to the privacy expectations of the Australian community and the legitimate interests of the communications provider. However, there is no guidelines on how these judgements

I'm obviously not an expert on US law but I find it very hard to believe that it is legal for an employee of a US company, without the permission of that company to put up a fake login page for particular users and then provide that

As I said before: it is a defence for non-compliance if a TAN/TCN would compel you to commit a crime in a foreign country That has nothing to do with whether you are an Australian citizen or not. If you are a resident in Austria, the

I'd recommend reading the actual law, as passed by parliament . Knowing your rights and legal options under the law and based on that approaching your MP (if you are still registered to vote in Australia) with your concerns to encoura

There are exceptions to this, including for seeking legal advice. If you think the law effects you then I highly recommend reading the entire text, as passed by parliament: https://parlinfo.aph.gov.au/parlInfo/search&#x

Realistically, I don't think the majority of the Australian community is particularly aware of, let alone opposed to this legislation. The idea that law enforcement should be able to gain access to encrypted communications if they have

I was worried about this as well which is why I read the law and commented above. The short answer is: 1. Non-compliance with a TAN/TCN is a civil not a criminal mater 2. As I stated above the law clearly says that it is a defence for

Are you sure there is no law against this in the US? Isn't this potentially: 1. Circumventing an electronic protection 2. Unauthorised access (if your employer does not authorise the changes) .etc.

Non-compliance with a TAN/TCN is a civil mater and the law explicitly states that being required to do an act or thing in a foreign jurisdiction that would contravene the laws of that jurisdiction is a defence for non-compliance.

I think that section 317ZH specifies that a TAN/TRN/TCN is invalid if a warrant would be required to access the information. Specifically: A technical assistance request that relates to an agency, or a technical assistance notice

Personally I've been reading the text and trying to grasp the implications of this. There appears to be two limitations on this power: 1. You cannot be compelled to do something in a foreign country that would be a crime in that countr
