In Australia it's very hard to get hold of cigarettes under 18. Determined kids will find a way, of course. But vaping is more prevalent currently, and is held in higher regard by teens here. I haven't lived in Europe some years,

Sounds like hard won experience there. I've long thought CRM was BS but been wondering lately - this helps, thanks.

Right. The idea that Jira has been replaced made me laugh. There's probably a crowd of people that want to move on to the next issue tracker flavour and that's fine but I've got work to do that isn't tool shuffling. I&#x

Would you be able to expand on scoped sessions, invalidated subsets, delegated sessions? Our roadmap has a big emphasis on improved session management and these are ideas we haven't considered and I'm keen to understand more.

It's not "yellow peril" or "Orientalism" to criticise China or its foreign policy. It is legitimate to criticise a nation state based on their behaviour, foreign policy, etc. I criticise the US or "western&quot

Good analysis. Realistically, no entity, government or otherwise is taking any concrete steps to say no to China in the south China Sea. Doing "drive bys" is hardly actual action, like say dismantling a Chinese base made in intern

I'd really like to read more Chinese-from-China views on this kind of article. Although the content of the article scares me personally, it would be interesting to have more of a discourse about more plausible reasons why this kind of

Honest question: what is it that Chinese officials fear would happen, if they let their citizens have free access to the internet?

Would anyone mind explaining to me as a noob what kind of legal challenges public lists need to defend against these days? Spam, trolls and politics are not new, but legal threats and DoS attacks I didn't expect to be problems.

And how did the process start? The poverty situation in the better off countries didn't start improving because of magical fairy dust. One end pushes the other end, sure, but you've got to start it somewhere. People and politician

m not sure if you'll classify it as "credible" but the wikipedia article on HPI shows a clear ranking of countries that roughly correlates to the minimum wage (higher the wage, lower the poverty ranking). Which.. Doesn't

Perhaps, rather than theorize about improving the American minimum wage, look to other countries that have higher minimum wage and evaluate their level of poverty (or lack thereof). Look at Australia and Norway, for example. Granted, the l

I call "Bullshit" on that. For all of the talk about "all men created equal" and "do to others as you would have them do to you", fundamentally Americans are brought up to believe they are different or "ex

I wonder if it is conceivable that a government agency that wouldn't like what Tor offers, could reduce Tor's attractiveness by bombing it from a botnet, much like what they've done by arresting people who host a tor node for

What's the difference between New Zealand and USA / UK / Australia? New Zealand at least has the balls or insanity to pass laws to cover the domestic spying, instead of doing it and denying it.
