anyone with a web site "provides a telecommunications service in New Zealand to an end-user" congrats Russell - do you scrub your logs

I think every person in the country should all file the appropriate paper whenever they buy a wireless access point, or enable an access point on a phone, or ..... drown them in their own paper work

Hard News: Snowden and New Zealand, in reply to Russell Brown,
yes those 4 blue circles (Singapore/Guam/Saipan?/Hawaii) hit every packet that can make it in or out of NZ/Australia

Oh OK then, I'll just send him/her into the meetings with the others who argue vehemently over features no one will ever use, they'll disappear into meetings and never be seen again

This whole "GCSB must approve all changes to your network" and "all your employees must receive a security clearance" worries me a lot - (does NZ actually have security clearances? I guess we'll all need them now).
I design telecommunications systems, will I get a GCSB minder to look over my shoulder all day in case I invent a system that the NSA can't break into?

Incidentally, and this is a pet gripe, I’m a little tired of Chinese giving me these phoney names on the pretext that I wouldn’t be able to pronounce their Chinese name.
While I completely agree with you about the whole transparency end of the thing (yes he should be in the companies DB just once), I should point out that it's common practice for Chinese people learning English to choose (or even be given) an English first name much as I was given a French name in 3rd form French ..... and as I'm faced with choosing right now when deciding just what should go on the back of my business cards now that I'm learning Mandarin and occasionally visiting China for work (毛面鹬鸵 is all very well for wechat but I need something slightly more formal)

I think the answer is "there be dragons" - get professional advice
But remember my accountant was trying to encourage me to maybe push that envelope by getting my wife to do some make work in our company - I'm glad I pushed back
