locked into a contract that isn't a fixed price deal?

I have literally the worst gas deal in the planet, 25p a day standing charge on a card meter. What happened was two days before I moved in I found out that my kitchen fitters had built a cupboard over the gas meter and that there was a massive dept on it. In order to actually get hot water on before we moved in I had to get the fitters in and the current supplier (BG) out and that was the only deal they have on a card meter. :(

25p a day for the privilege of being able to spend even more money on gas.

So fake people like limited companies, the Crown, and the Archbishop of Canterbury in the personage of the office would still be allowed encryption, but real people like MPs and British spies would not. It's a strange sentiment but it might work.

Well that just sounds terrible.

The Daily Sport calls it a 'chap's eye' now to avoid causing offense. Or rather one specific type of offense. They're still game for buying stock photos and putting "llama bit my bell end and now I'm banned from kid's corner" next to it.

Let's see just how wrong Amber can be...

Amber Rudd posted:

To be very clear - the Government supports strong encryption and has no intention of banning end-to-end encryption. But the inability to gain access to encrypted data in specific and targeted instances - even with a warrant signed by a Secretary of State and a senior judge - is right now severely limiting our agencies' ability to stop terrorist attacks and bring criminals to justice.

I know some will argue that it's impossible to have both - that if a system is end-to-end encrypted then it's impossible ever to access the communication. That might be true in theory.

But the reality is different. Real people often prefer ease of use and a multitude of features to perfect, unbreakable security. So this is not about asking the companies to break encryption or create so called "back doors". Who uses WhatsApp because it is end-to-end encrypted, rather than because it is an incredibly user-friendly and cheap way of staying in touch with friends and family? Companies are constantly making trade-offs between security and "usability", and it is here where our experts believe opportunities may lie.

The Home Secretary there, not understanding encryption, maths, and usability. Because if WhatsApp is already super easy to use and offers end-to-end encryption, like she says, then what exactly is the trade off Facebook are supposed to make here? Does she want them to make WhatsApp poo poo and harder to use if it's going to be encrypted?

Oh man, I joke, but that's exactly what HMG are going to do isn't it? They know they can't ban encryption, so they're going to ask companies to make all their encrypted products difficult and/or unattractive to use. 'sake.

Also, this:

Still Amber Rudd posted:

So, there are options. But they rely on mature conversations between the tech companies and the Government - and they must be confidential.

Dominos is the best takeaway pizza. Specifically the double decadence crust, with meatballs, ground beef and spicy chicken. When they did sour cream and herbs that was good too. If your pizza is deficient in any of these areas then Dominos is still the best because their garlic dipping sauce is the best.

I have fond memories of Papa Johns pizza in he States, but yeah, gently caress giving that guy money.

Voodoo Rays is the best London only chain (if it is still London only).

But the actual best pizza is getting a large pizza with all the spicy ingredients for £7 at Tabac Pizza and Chicken on How Street in Walthamstow between 11pm and 1am.

This is a silly post with little news value.

quote:

Current and former senior civil servants speak of extreme frustration within Whitehall at Mrs May’s handling of Brexit negotiations in the period between last year’s EU referendum and the UK general election in June.
They say that Mrs May tied the hands of Britain’s negotiators with policies devised without proper cabinet consultation, while her inner circle in Downing Street shielded her from “difficult” news from Brussels.
“It has been a completely wasted year while the Tories negotiated with themselves,” said John Kerr, a crossbench peer and former head of the Foreign Office. “There has been a sort of policy paralysis where Number 10 imposed a control freak freeze.”

quote:

Another leading Whitehall figure said: “There should one day be a parliamentary inquiry into what went wrong in the first year. At this point in the negotiation, the [European] Commission and the [EU] Council are significantly ahead of us, and frankly they are astonished.”
Much of the criticism in Whitehall is aimed at Mrs May’s former co-chiefs of staff, Nick Timothy and Fiona Hill, who reportedly took many of the key Brexit decisions in the months following the EU referendum. Whitehall insiders say that Mr Timothy and Ms Hill, who resigned following the general election, often made decisions with little or no consultation with the cabinet.
Ministers point to last year’s Conservative party conference, saying there was little discussion about Mrs May’s conference pledge to trigger Article 50 by the end of March 2017 — even though it was unclear at that stage what kind of Brexit deal Mrs May wanted.
Ministers say they were also not consulted on Mrs May’s conference promise that ending European Court of Justice jurisdiction would be a “red line” in Brexit negotiations — despite the pledge having far-reaching consequences for future EU regulatory co-operation. Mr Timothy is understood to have added the “red line” commitment to Mrs May’s speech.

Old people are just completely disconnected from day to day life.

Older people are quite happy to lose the jobs they already retired from. They've already earned all they're going to earn and live off the promises given while they were working. They are more likely to own their homes and less likely to have debt.

In short, they are not in any way invested in the economy they are happy to wreck.

While the whole wanting the talks to be 'encrypted' is laughable, it also has no chance in hell of happening as Google, Facebook, etc have a history of making these kind of discussions be as publicly known about as they legally can get away with. So unless the government is going to impose some form of national security legislation on the talks then the tech companies will be releasing every last detail as its in their own financial interest to do so.
