Should countries not compete with each other and simply bow down to accept whatever corporate taxation rate the Americans tell them to have?

It's a plain, almost coldhearted look at what we are doing to the planet and where this path leads. Something needs to change urgently.

As someone whose spent a bit of time in the Balkans can I just say that you can buy a Macedonian sim card with no ID for a few dollars and get perfect 4G signal from close to the border in 5 different countries without ever stepping foot in the place?

Not trying to defend what's happening here, but just saying, not all this stuff is as clearcut as it seems. Blaming these places seems a bit premature without understanding the region.

The app needs to be open and in the foreground for it to take photos. On Android at least.

You mean on Xaiomi OS's (I forget their name).

I once looked at their wages when I was in Asia, they wouldn't even cover my rent working full-time. Until they pay for skill rather than area I'm going to be a sceptic sorry, far better companies to work for.

Despite being sidelined in NIST's post quantum standardisation project it's interesting to see their Streamlined NTRU Prime algorithm still being the main real world adoption out there right now. I'd be interested if anyone knows of a more utilised post-quantum algo irl.

For the tinfoil among us, jump on the post-quantum key exchange train, there's little overhead, it still uses traditional elliptic curve crypto, best of both worlds.

I really don't see a problem with that and would still consider it public information.

> Those who are fully vaccinated may be amongst those denied access if they do not have a printer or mobile device, or if they have forgotten their documentation at home. This will especially impact the poor, those who are homeless, those with developmental delays or those who suffer from cognitive impairment.

Perhaps consider that instead you just don't hear about it? Australia has some of the harshest defamation laws on the planet and journalists routinely self-censor.

When evidence of Australian war crimes in Afghanistan came out the federal police raided the ABC head office taking hordes of hard drives and documents trying to find out who was the whistleblower. None of the evidence presented by the ABC was ever contested and has subsequently been proven true. The raid has been deemed entirely valid under Australian law. Maybe that doesn't bother you, but it's clear that investigative journalism in Australia runs the same risks as many basketcase countries.

Google will always insist you meant <App> android and show you those results instead, which of course is the play store version if it exists.

There are over 350,000 requests a year for metadata, about ~1000 a day. Any level of government can make a request, right down to local councils of towns with 2000 people. The oversight committee is comprised of three bureaucrats who have never found a single instance of the system being abused in years. In fact all the instances of misuse have been self-reported by agencies.

Metadata itself seems like an innocuous term but includes the location of every single mobile phone in the country. The enormous cost of all this is passed onto the consumer and the government doesn't subsidise reporting entities at all.

What exactly is "theoretical" about all that?

Absolutely no one cared in the slightest about it up until vast tracts of oil were discovered and fishing rights in the region started to actually be enforced by militaries.

Hopefully you don't mean in a bank? If history is any guide that's useless with capital controls initiated before the public even gets whiff of it, see Greece and Cyprus 2008. A bolted-down safe in your house seems to be the caveat on such a statement. Money in the bank simply isn't yours and far too many people don't realise this.

You can buy citizenship or residency anywhere and get the perks, but that has nothing to do with the point I was making here. The point is that laws are useless until they are enforced.

Generally average about 250kwh per month for 2 people in a 1200 sqf apartment with occasional aircon use. Paying ~6c/kwh is much better than nearly everywhere else on Earth. As a westerner in the country it's basically a rounding error compared to other life costs.

With government bonuses that get thrown around the cost really isn't much unless you are incredibly wasteful or have a huge family/house. Most of the country has gotten big power handouts for covid. I paid 30 RM ($7.50 USD) a few months ago. A pint down the pub costs nearly that.

In theory, yes, in reality the largest single residential purchase in the country was $35m and splashed all over the front page of newspapers.

It took them 5 years later to realise it was an illegal purchase by a foreigner after he had a different dispute with the tax office.

If that sale slips through what hope do you actually have for any others?
