There would be a Guardian thinkpiece on how another leader would have gotten in with a higher vote share before Corbs even moved in to No.10

So this would appear to mean that, for instance, before WhatsApp launched its new end-to-end encryption earlier this month it had to ask HMG whether they wanted it to secretly not actually be end-to-end at all or whether they wanted it backdoored, right? I assume Facebook is one of the 10 to 12...

Well, it must have, or else it would be flagrantly ignoring a law that applies to it.

Edit: the more you think about this the messier it seems. Suppose $Company decides to rely on encrypted messages for sensitive information. It then turns out they aren't safe after all, after some random hacker stumbles across a back door mandated by HMG. What happens in court, particularly a non-British court? "A foreign government told us we had to gimp our encryption, m'lud, so this suit should be thrown out". Can't see many courts buying that as an excuse.

If that seems far fetched we still don't know where the Juniper back doors came from either the first one or the later-modified version. "

Well it's not a legal requirement for products to have *working* encryption anywhere in the world that I'm aware of, so then it becomes a contract law issue. Given vendors are already covered for both incompetence and malice when failing to live up to their published claims about security, there's not any real difference if they do it as a matter of legal requirement. The Juniper back doors were specifically mentioned as being put in without Juniper noticing and were discovered and published by Juniper themselves so it seems unlikely in the extreme that they were put there as a result of collusion (legal or not) between Juniper and a government, but certainly not impossible they were injected by a state actor, so they're a bit off-topic for this discussion.

To get back to the original point, I don't know if WhatsApp/Facebook have a RIPA s.12 notice served on them - my pre-edit answer was "No they don't because RIPA only applies in the UK" but I forgot that they added an extraterritoriality clause to it in DRIPA. To my knowledge this has not been applied as yet, because it's on very shaky ground legally and it's extremely unlikely that a US company would meekly accept it, but it's not impossible that they might have done so. Therefore it's not kosher for me to say definitely one way or the other if they have a notice on them and so whether or not they'd have had to discuss their encryption with HMG.

Someone who puts milk in before the hot water.

I know this is a couple pages back, but this has brought up a concerning issue for me. What is the optimal way to make coffee/tea? Green tea I put a bit of cold water in with the teabags then fill the rest with boiling, normal tea I flip flop, but my racist UKIP council running nazi mate who wanted to castrate and sterilize all black people told me that it's best to put the milk in first. Coffee I just put the milk in last because otherwise I risk overflowing with the machine.

Milk always goes in after tea if you're making it in the cup. If you're making it in a pot/urn/boiler then it doesn't really matter.

He's wrong. You don't infuse tea leaves with cold milk

Teabag -> Hot water -> Milk

If you're pouring the tea from a fancy teapot then it's OK to put milk in first. The idea is that if you're using china cups the cold milk cools the tea and prevents the cups from cracking because of the sudden temperature differential. I guess you could gently prewarm the cups to prevent that too. Otherwise hot water on the teabag, then milk.

The worst people imo are people who don't take out the teabag before adding milk.

Yeah the problem with putting the milk in first is the milk starts getting infused with tea and goes bitter.

Removing teabag before milk is the only acceptable way.

Looks like the Graun is going to lay off Corbyn a bit. :O

quote:

Snap PMQs Verdict: A solid win for Corbyn. Cameron managed to get his usual comic broadside into his final answer (although did you notice how he did not do his usual schtick about the importance of a strong economy - the unemployment figures killed off that today), but Corbyn got the better off him with the sheer weight of evidence he was able to cite about the extent of opposition to the plan to turn all schools into academies. It seemed as if the quotes would never stop. If Labour’s research team did a good job, Cameron’s did too, because he had a sound response to Corbyn’s fifth question, about the school visit. But Corbyn’s quotes were better, and Corbyn successfully questioned both the need for more academies (claims that academisation raises quality is questionable) and how this can be seen as decentralisation.

Hope it lasts longer than just until the EU ref though!
