How embarrassing (for Nintendo). As soon as someone threatens legal you just have to tell them you'll only be engaging via lawyers and you'll be seeking to recover your legal expenses from them once the situation is resolved.

Tax policy needs to be recognised as a social issue. If politicians are using the complexity as a tool then it stands to reason that the only ones that can efficiently navigate the resulting convoluting mess is the wealthy. It puts the less

Hiring an accountant should not be a crime. Especially not while tax laws are so horrendously archaic. However, look at countries that have flat-rate taxes [1]. They are much harder to skirt and the level compliance tends to be higher. [1

Tax evasion IS illegal, tax avoidance is not. That's a legal point that's worth keeping in mind.

"Such “tax optimization” – albeit legal – is only possible because specialized law firms such as Appleby devise complex company structures inaccessible to most other firms" Maybe governments should simplify their own tax rules. Th

I agree with you on 'lean'. But say I'm building a web-app that accesses medical records and I don't want sensitive fields being auto-completed by a browser. Forcing autocomplete in this instance does a dis-service to bo

It really feels like the Chrome developers have forgotten that they're providing a platform and not an in-house Google service. It happens very often - developers with experience building apps don't always manage to build tools fo

I'm kind of happy that developers responsible for this type of stuff get exposed - if they can't get HTTPS then in my mind there's a high chance that other parts of their setup are following weak security practices. Now I kn

Not rude but there’s a difference between forcing your way through a door and having a door unlocked for you (and via a legal means outside of the physical jurisdiction of the door). It shouldn’t matter how ‘tough’ the door lock is either w

So say I live in Germany and Amazon gets served a warrant in the US to facilitate in remotely unlocking my door. Amazon could theoretically unlock my front door from their HQ in the US. What are the legal ramifications of this? We're

UBI makes sense only if you’re able to ignore pretty much every economic theory except communism. One particular issue I have is the fiat nature of money: it’s meant to be printed to promote economic growth but it will usually reduce purcha

"This means more time to implement JavaScript features" - yes, because JavaScript isn't getting enough features fast enough :-p Jokes aside, I love this kind of work from the Mozilla team. This and the bits going into Quantum

There used to be a time when SPAs were meant for real web-apps (as in, things like the Admin area of your PayPal account) and everything else lived happily as website pages. Yes, I am tired of everyone trying to shoehorn everything into an

Apples obsession with thin is taking liberties and no matter what they say, I know a significant number of MBP users who are sticking with older laptops - just like the genius in the article.

How is the government storing legally privileged information at all lawful? And Amber Rudd wonders why respectable technologists sneer at her - maybe it's because they've read 1984 and want to do what they can to stop the madness!

I bet if you asked Corbyn to pump up the cash for Uber's losses over the past few years he'll put his tail between his legs and head for a hasty retreat. Taxi drivers had years to do what uber did. They didn't, they were ofte
