Right, I do know that (The Capability(tm)!) and for some reason I just mentally exclude facial recognition from the term "biometrics". OP specifically said "at least fingerprints" - it's good to have a reminder that

In the Anglosphere we've traditionally been quite wary of national ID databases for our own citizens, for better or worse. Most governments of foreign countries I have visited (US, many parts of Asia) have my fingerprints. The Australi

What makes you think the operators are giving correct numbers to the IRS, or that the IRS would necessarily detect something like that on a fairly small scale? (I have no idea how any of this works, but I would assume that if they're w

I served on a student club committee as an undergrad, where at one point we had over 20 representatives, which made it hard to even make quorum consistently. What effectively happened was that a small group of us with executive positions we

Re-reading my comment I can see it reads a bit like that - I totally don't intend any notion that I expect everything to be perfect, I'm an open source developer myself and as you say we don't expect every issue to be resolve

In Australia, we don't have the same culture of pharmacies being convenience stores as in the US (and certainly not selling cigarettes!), or the same issues with prescription drugs (it's illegal to advertise them here like in most

I'm led to believe their student-TA ratio is about 50:1. The US$15/hr TA pay rate is absolute garbage - when I TAed as a 3rd year undergrad in Australia, I was paid double that.
