Notes & Queries: Paul, in reply to Russell Brown,
But does that mean no one should be able to tell the story, ever?
This discussion has been really interesting around that matter.

Consent looks mighty problematic to me too, as I noted earlier. David responded above:
Now, in as far as Paul's consent goes. Right, Paul knows I write. I have told him I wrote something about him and it is on the internet. Paul doesn't know what the Internet is, really. Sometimes I wish I had a bit more money and get him a tablet, just to see what happens, but he can't really write. He can't really read.He's good with phone numbers and he can write his name. But the Internet is not something that means much to him. So telling him that the story is here on Public Address and people read it is not something that means anything to him.
David, beyond 'writing' did you try explaining it was like talking out loud to a whole lot of people about Paul's life and what he does? People he doesn't even know. Like you were walking down the street and saying "hey, let me tell you about my friend Paul".
The response if you told people he enjoys sweeping floors or feeding ducks would be less alarmed than talking about his personal health or his sex life or harms he has experienced. I'm aware there are all sorts of gay culture layers as well even though I only vaguely recognise them as an outsider.

OnPoint: Quickfisk: Youth Unemployment, in reply to Rob Hosking,
productivity
Any links/data about share of business productivity gains that was paid to workers compared with business owners over last decade or three? I remember reading it's not pretty but don't recall where the source was. Might be OECD or something?

Hard News: The United States of Surveillance?, in reply to slarty,
Agreed. Lack of respectful relationships with other agencies seems a bigger barrier in cases like Boston and 9/11 than lack of data.

Speaker: Generation Zero: Let's Grow Up, in reply to James Bremner,
ignorant or subscribed to a cultish theory that was allowed to override reality
like the supply-fixated neoliberalism powering both the NZ Initiative report and the Act-led 'Productivity Commission' which the govt so loves quoting.

Danyl has thoughts on what evidence Winston has.
...
So my guess is that Peters has the emails that were handed over to the Henry inquiry.

Legal Beagle: D-Day for Dunne (updated), in reply to Matthew Poole,
I'm not disputing your reading of the security classification. Winston is alleging matters beyond the Kitteridge report and appendices were also 'leaked'. I guess we'll see.

Hard News: The United States of Surveillance?, in reply to Stephen Judd,
I take it SCIENTIA EST POTENTIA is "Knowledge is Power"?
or "Hey, that Science thing seems promising"

Damien Grant is someone who knows nothing about the topic, given a platform by those who ought to know better. He is a nasty libertarian fool.
