[3] - what a read. "5. Video images of excessive use of force by police from outside the country must be promptly blocked and deleted at the first time, and it is absolutely forbidden to spread on WeChat and any social media."

I'm not an advocate for the US Political system. Having grown up in Europe and moved to Australia. Therefore your assumptions that I'd use the US as the benchmark I set for my democratic wishes is misguided and the majority of you

I dispute this. Democracy is not advertised as the only acceptable form of Government, but it is the fairest and best model we've got. You're creating a straw-man with this argument.

For any customers that do use said bank, take this as an indicator of their own security practices and consider if you still trust them with your money, data and PII. I wonder how they share credentials without a PAM or similar. All service

You're paying for Medium? Would you say it's worth it? $50 per annum is less than what I pay for the Guardian. I don't solely get my content from The G but considering the good work they do where it's _mostly_ or at leas

It isn't, but $60 per year for a service you've been getting for years is perfectly fine, until it isn't. And then you realise the value of the dollars spent, but not before.

Maybe OP is Google Support and he's found this is the best 'internal' escalation point for the forms he's seen come in and not been actioned. ;-)

It's really, really not _that simple_. The majority wouldn't know what VirtualBox and Whonix is, and that's before we start discussing what the benefits of privacy even are. This is the disconnect we have with our peers who d

I was considering it but the prices on RAM have dropped a bit recently and my DDR3 was leaving a lot to be desired. Pulled the trigger and got 32GB of 3200Mhz of DDR4. I got 6 years out of my prior build, I'm sure my new build will las

Worth waiting out for specials. I picked up a ThreadRipper 2920Z from Computer Alliance just before EOFY for a (relatively) decent price at $950AUD.

This is such a perfect analogy for where I feel DevOps fails in some implementations. My experience is across three different companies now, and in the first two (not my current employer who... still do it wrong but it's the best I&#x2

Police using gangs to suppress dissidents is not complicated. It's authoritarian, deplorable, contrary to the common good of the people and in every way wretched. With that said considering the current movement and public enablement of

... are you being serious? I ask this question pragmatically. Perhaps my nuance for sarcasm after spending my entire life in the UK & Australia is more finely tuned than most. The author went as far as to describe Canada as "a soci

Queensland Health had the same problem with SAP & IBM. It's hardly a coincidence that IBM consistently deliver poor outcomes for billions of dollars.

Why not start with the why of your own argument?

That's a difficult argument to make when you're contracting or a consultant and are expected to deliver X and not work Z hour.

Man, I ride my motorbike to work every day and it usually takes 15 minutes each way on average. Yet I wonder what it'd be like to jump cities and double my income. comments like yours and the OP really make me understand and value my f

I've been fortunate that I've not had a close friend pass in my life at the young age of 31. The day it comes around, I hope to share your world view. Thank you for sharing your story, and I'm sorry for the pain you must have

Unionising or even mentioning it while employed as a contractor is going to ensure a cancellation. As unfortunate as it is, it's desperately needed.

Wow, that's amazing. I'm totally going to use this. YNAB unfortunately don't allow live feeds from Australian banks so using middle-ware is a great idea. I never even considered broking the service myself. Awesome!

With regards to the second point, definitely. Quite a few years ago the security team of the organisation I worked at didn't have our internal vulnerability scanning services automated. It relied on them capturing the IPv4 addresses (s
