As the Polish government have made very clear, the length of the transition period can be indefinite. And it isn't really a negotiable. It's up to the country when it wants to join the Euro. They just have to promise that they&#x2

And there was considerable debate prior to the referendum within the Leave camp as to whether to go for a "soft Brexit" (close regulatory alignment) or "hard Brexit" (what the final deal ended up being).

South Korean Intelligence and it's allies presumably have agents in the NK military who would give them advance notice.

In the UK a few years ago, they tested the government emergency alert system, which was basically your phone turning into an air raid siren, regardless of what SMS filters you had set. I would imagine South Korea has a similar system?

I don't think anyone was claiming that or anything remotely close to it. I was explaining why the NSA wouldn't necessarily be in favour of more digitally secure infrastructure, because you seemed to be the only person in the threa

The security vulnerabilities the NSA would use to spy on a system, or even just use as a jumping point to another system, can also be used by bad actors for other purposes, such as screwing with people's water.

Also, the 130 IQ Engineer usually can't afford to wine and dine the business manager the way Amazon can. Or dangle the possibility of a cushy yet prestigious sounding job in front of them.

As someone from one of the territories mentioned, it was frustrating in the run-up to the referendum, and immediately after it, watching the local media try to get the view of English voters as to how they thought that was supposed to work.

Technically the rule never changed. If a licence inspector sees a TV connected to an ariel socket then you're breaking the law. But there's virtually no inspections any more. There were a lot of bad newspaper headlines about poor

It's actually a private company that operates the transmitters. The BBC have been paying for access until now.

They're banking on the number of kids using that mechanism to bypass the ban being small. I'm not in favour of this but I'm acknowledging that if the number of children accessing social media drops significantly because of a

Perhaps it'll work like dodgy boxes/firesticks, where you have a handful of people who individually set up their own service then charge a fee for access.

The idea is that it doesn't matter if the ban is fully enforced. Most children only have a smartphone and they're the target of the ban.

Something like nextcloud.com? It's appeared on HN a few times. Some European governments and municipalities have switched to it.

That's a separate problem. And it's not "The EU", but really one EU commissioner. Many organs of the EU including the EU Legal Service have criticised CSAR (Chat Control) and the European Parliament has voted against it,

Dutch and Danish are two different nationalities. To be fair they both begin with a D and end with a H so I understand the confusion.

There isn't even any indication of police involvement. "The authorities" could mean anything from the local police service to the National Crime Agency, to the National Cyber Security Centre (part of GCHQ) and anything in bet

And you can choose not to read their journalism. That's the value in having a reputation. And I'll remind you that the alternative in this case is just believing the random redditor's version of events.

Putting aside that the source for this is a Reddit post linking to screenshots of text, as opposed to a news site where a journalist would have to stake their reputation on the story being true. Anyone can report anyone else to "the au

The original SG-1 did that already. Carter was the team leader for season 8 while O'Neill was base commander. And Atlantis had a civilian woman in charge from the pilot episode.

It doesn't quite make up for it, but balcony solar is a possibility for apartments (with balconies obviously), provided they're permitted in your jurisdiction.

I'm currently reading the first book that takes place after the conclusion of the show. There's a large time jump and I suspect they didn't want to age up the actors for 3 seasons.

As bummed as I am by this news, I kinda understand the logic. The fan base likely didn't make up the majority of viewing figures when SG-1 and it's spin-offs were on the air. Otherwise, it would have been revived much sooner after
