This is bad. Australia isn't know for it's strong privacy laws anyway, but with the kind of data that's now available out there, ID theft is going to be a huge risk for almost half the country. Even if Optus gets sued, how th

One of the companies I worked for had a similar personality test during on-boarding. The reasoning was it will be used to match up team members to get the "right balance". Of course it was never used or spoken of again, so maybe t

Congratulations. Don't ask this question on the internet, and if you already have, don't read the answers. Babies are unique - your experience may be wildly different. While it's true that they will be the biggest commitment

Is it really surprising at this point? Most closed systems won't really bother fixing things that ain't broken, especially if its not connected to the internet. If the machinery can be hacked and commandeered remotely, we know the

I just started using echo for a personal project - just a boring old server rendered webapp. Overall, it has some niceties which can save a lot of time. The documentation and cookbook cover the most common usage patterns. I like that it doe

I should've quoted my previous response. My reply was to this quote of yours: > Can I sue them for poisoning the life of my kids? They are teaching kids that lying is ok, after all.

I’m actually ok with that. All organised religions are motivated by power and money, so why not?

What scares me the most about this story is how easily it could've been a small software shop running their entire operations on GitHub getting DCMA'd without any merit, and just losing access to an important repo within 24 hours.
