Yikes, I use service@domain quite often. I didn't give thought to this possibility. I'm quite sure the reason will be that this service emails others on "your behalf" and probably does something like placing your email a

I mean, I considered this implied within the suggestion of using incognito mode. In any event, it's an unrealistic attack vector. No bad actor is going to target 0.1% of edge cases when you could get enough damaging information from pe

For me, in AU, it's as easy as 30 minutes filling in information in a government web application, namely myGov. Information which is, for the most part, prefilled for me. myTax is written by the Australian Taxation Office and is fairly

How is it a fiction that news reports come from identified individuals, while Wikipedia is edited by anonymous individuals with questionable credentials? I'm not convinced of the characterisation as a legal fiction, either. There is a

First, I need to restate the rule to give it nuance. Original research isn't allowed on Wikipedia. Primary sources are acceptable for simple statements of fact, but editors can't make analysis of or synthesise what is contained in

It's the traditional formal signoff where the recipient is not addressed. I understand it is of British origin. My guess as to its meaning is, since it is not addressed, you are faithful to the recipient that it will get to the right p

I agree. For completeness, some people find "regards" a bit blunt, and therefore qualify it with "Kind". I don't really see the issue, but "Kind regards" is orthodoxy in many Australian workplaces.

Slight nitpick: Australian colonial (State) governments existed well before the Constitution of the Commonwealth in 1901, at least since 1788. I'm not so sure about the relevance of the so-called "harsh environment" to politi

Until today, I didn't know you could create hard links (ie "multi-parent" files/folders) in Google Drive. How did one achieve this? I would like to know, because I'm wondering if I have unintentionally done so. I ga

This has the potential to be used for improper collateral purposes, eg by neighbour annoys me so I will dob them in for speeding. This is why an independent officer should be the person charging people, not vigilantes.

Then I wonder why it is remarkable? The absence of a response may be worth commenting on, but this seems fairly unimpeachable. It's distinguishable from a noop because some information is imparted, namely that a) they are aware of the

Sure, but if I want to use one app on my screen and still have access to the menu bar, it means awkwardly dragging the window around to fill gaps. In Windows, it's one click. Similarly, if I want two apps side by side, it's even m
