What you are describing is 'no guaranteed PTO - everything is at the whim of your manager' which is a far cry from the 'unlimited PTO' narrative the employer is pushing. Calling it…

So you mean 'no defined limit but definitely not unlimited' or do you mean 'unlimited except with the following limitations'? You don't have a great argument.

For the benefit of anyone else reading fabrication is the key word in the origin of “Mobile homes”

That's called transfer pricing and is essentially illegal in almost every jurisdiction. There are of course plenty of loopholes and ways around it and large companies such as Apple…

That's only if linking from https to an http page which is not the case here.

I am in Australia and we have had contactless payments for years. Apple Pay with an iPhone was more trouble than using a card. On the other hand since I got my Apple Watch I haven'…

I don't think you understand your "really qualified audience" very well if you thought a coordinated marketing campaign with all the other "chosen" launch partners was a good idea.…

The deeper you get in to a bottle of wine the easier the conversation becomes.

Next time carry it up one flight of stairs and put it in the lift out of sight of the doorman.

I'm very dubious about the first source you posted. It claims vehicles consume 15-20% less fuel when travelling on concrete compared to asphalt. That statistic doesn't pass a basic…

You are correct about the HK case. However there weren't many observers who though Phillip Morris stood a chance. The lawsuit was much more about signalling to other countries cons…

Their concerns were misplaced and the outcome lawsuits against the Australian government (they won every time) show how ridiculous the scare campaign about ISDS was.

It's definitely not. Illegal drugs are also much more expensive in Australia than in many other places in the world. There is a growing problem with black market untaxed "chop chop…

That ignores common sense. If Uber is more profitable by circumventing W2 regulations it will do so. There is no morality in capitalism, only worship of the bottom line. Businesses…

Why would I even care about credit card information being stolen. My bank will reimburse that no questions asked. I am much more concerned about my personal information being leake…

The conduct described in the article is definitely unlawful in Australia.

> Swiss post, a company that still thinks that a 4 digit pin on their debit card is good enough How many examples can you provide of a 4 digit card pin being brute forced? Is there…

You are pretty much totally wrong. Australian banks make much less from interchange fees than their US counterparts. Apple wanted the same fee in Australia as it collects in the US…

I'm inclined to agree given that voting is not compulsory. In Australia, where voting in all elections and referenda is compulsory, I would have to stridently disagree. I suspect t…

I would love to see Mozilla (a big backer of Let's Encrypt) drop the Comodo root certs from their alpha and beta Firefox builds for a couple of days to show them how ugly things ge…

Having withdrawn the citation you should either replace it with a better one or retract your assertion.

> You can't actually expect people to hire lawyers from 108 different countries You could expect facebook, with their almost infinite resources to so.

> This looks like the "move fast and break things" crowd trying to run a medical lab. That's a disingenuously kind interpretation. This was a bunch of fraudsters with failed techno…

Essentially Telstra (the biggest ISP in Australia) charges a fortune for transit. Cloudflare provide some detail about the relatively high cost here: https://blog.cloudflare.com/th…
