From the rest of the article, I don't think he's suggesting that only the Judicial Redress Act is sufficient as a replacement for Safe Harbour? Just that it's a useful first step that congress can take soon.

You've not seen the signs everywhere saying that they're accepted? Quite a lot of the popular bars/restaurants in the centre and clifton accept them; all of the buses advertise that they accept them; everyone in St. Nick&#x27

There might be £700k printed and in peoples' hands, but it's an extremely unusual thing to see someone using the Bristol Pound here, despite the huge range of places that do accept it. I suspect that most of the money doesn't

The standard behaviour for a while has been to open the action overflow (the "hidden" menu with three dots on the right hand side of the action bar) menu. This menu affordance was supposed to appear on devices that didn't hav

Why's that more alarming? "72 hours to stop the bill" is pretty alarming, but with the bill still in committee, there's still a a little longer for it to go yet. The third reading is scheduled in a fortnight.
