I know it's underfunding but that first one is just movie villain levels of weird. "Sure, here's the address of the person you might have assaulted." Wth?

One of their examples was probably the whisper network (warning someone about historic allegations about someone else who probably had contact with them) but some of the others have me scratching my head.

I think what happens sometimes is that over time with underfunding and undertraining you end up with an organizational culture that becomes weirdly blind to privacy issues, like how our birds evolved to not have wings.

Interesting. I think there's a huge fight brewing out there somewhere between a developer who wants to infill develop the old golf course versus local residents. Wonder what impact this will have on that.

Idk, it looks like it works (or maybe people are just getting better at not littering and it correlates), but this is one of those things that can be measured so I'd trust department of conservation research over my own anecdotal evidence.

I don't know. I haven't seen the research.

I was alarmed by it at first but it's been a few years now and the parks where I go which used to have them don't seem any more littered fwiw. If anything less so.

But that's anecdotal and as I understand it the decision was made based on more than that.

This has been happening in New Zealand for a while. The theory seems to be that bins attract more litter and are a hazard to wildlife.

I was sceptical at first but it actually seems to work.

Perturbs me that they are selling food though. Surely yhe food sellers should have bins for which they are responsible in their immediate vicinity.

He didn't give them that though. He just claimed he did.

Sweet as! I'm just in awe at all the modern lunch options.

Yeah I guess glad wrap is out these days.

They're probably too young to use those bees wax/cloth wraps? Those are waterproof and also good for the environment.

Pretty sure that's a bot account.

What are people wrapping sandwiches in these days?

What would be great would be if the ice pack could go in a separate compartment.

Carma.

I feel the same way. The book is not going away, I think.

Looks like you are right, that arbitrator was part of her severance package. So she is bound by it but her publisher is not.

Here's a review of the book.

@BikerChiwi@mastodon.nz my point wasn't about whether it's a good or bad term to use, just that it's pretty common, not The Economist trying to be edgy.

Meta took a case to the American Arbitration Association, a neutral third party which resolves disputes out of court.

How would that be binding?

I am definitely going to read it now. Streisand effect.

@BikerChiwi@mastodon.nz it carries a lot of history. I think to call a settler country a "migrant country" would be to deliberately ignore the cultural and political dominance of the settler group over the Indigenous people and other migrants.

If I remember correctly it counts for defamation and name suppression laws, but in this case since the link would just be to OPs own content it probably wouldn't.

It might still be charged under the act though, as bullying, but I am not a lawyer.
