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 …

Precision, control, contribution and fun.

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

Thank you, @echelon

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 wo…

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'…

Thank you for posting. This made me really happy. May this be the start of a wonderful career in software.

Thank you for posting. This made me really happy.

> I'm opposed to getting the facts wrong I have not got the facts wrong. I said "no power is doing anything _of substance_ about China expanding" and that is a _fact_. Coast guards…

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 cri…

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, …

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'v…

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, low…

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)…

FrameMaker - or a new, open source ground up rewrite of it - for the win!

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 …

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 don…

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 an…
