    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 f…

    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 …

    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 …

    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…

    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…

    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 me…

    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 provi…

    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 l…

    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 …

    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 register…

    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:/…

    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 …

    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 stat…

    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 t…

    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 t…

    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 relat…

    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…
