> "It is a file-by-file [search] on your phone. We're not going into 'the cloud'. We'll examine your phone while it's on flight mode," Customs spokesperson Terry Brown said.

What files are they looking for on the device?

I mean, it's not like a terrorist will have a plan_to_place_bomb.doc file on their device, so what's the point? What file could there possibly be on any device that will threaten the security? And how is scanning devices going to prevent you from downloading that file after you go through customs?
I'm behind three proxies!
Well, for one, it's a gateway into services/data that are not being brought into the country. I don't store a complete directory of all my contacts in my suitcase, why should the government be able to collect that from my phone? My phone can connect to my email and retrieve information, no one would print out their entire inbox and carry it in a suitcase...

>This is a shame, my partner and I have been spending the last couple months seriously considering new Zealand as a new home, after we tire of SF, specifically because we felt that legally it was going down a better path than the USA.

What made you think this? Have you been keeping an eye on the news regarding NZ?

For example, they allowed American billionaire Peter Thiel to obtain citizenship despite not meeting the residency requirements:

How urban is the world?
I think you should read that as: "Which countries have laws which allow border inspectors to demand usernames/passwords to online services?" Those which do demand it are a subset of those which can demand it.

Your sovereignty argument is such an extreme interpretation of the question that it's almost certainly not what plg had in mind - if plg did have it in mind, then I find it hard to believe that question would have been asked in the first place.

Consider the question "what countries on border entry can draw and quarter entering citizens?" Your viewpoint seems to be that the correct answer is "all of them", yes?
I'd presume that anyone with a BS in computer science should be able to write assembly for at least one RISC architecture.

I'd also presume that more companies would ask them to do so than those who have legitimate business reasons to write something in assembly. We are long past the age of resource-constrained architecture hacks. The closest most people should be getting to metal is ANSI/ISO C, and the others are all writing compilers or doing extreme optimization stunts.

Can I write in assembly? Yes. Should I write in assembly? Hell no.

Those companies that still require COBOL/mainframe programmers have had literally decades to watch the center of mass of the software industry move away from that, and then still make a conscious decision to pursue a dead-end path to obsolescence.
> It's impossible for any court forensic team, let alone an airport goon, to prove there is actually another partition inside the outer encrypted partition, unless you mount common volumes and cross-contaminate. An important caveat is to properly defragment the outer partition and fiddle with the offset and the size of the inner partition to avoid any conflicts, then avoid writing in the outer partition.

Customs staff typically don't know to prove there is, they just need reasonable suspicion to seize goods for further investigation. The fact you've booted into a 50GB partition on a 500GB disk may well be considered reasonable suspicion to seize the goods for the sake of further investigation.

There's going to be a physical version at some point, but summary:

1. Buy A500/A600 download version, or A1200 if you've got a Vampire accelboard.

2. Get adf into Amiga floppies by whatever means (serial cable, pcmcia nic adapter, flashfloppy-enabled floppy drive emulator)

3. Boot workbench disk or installer disk. ROM patches will be loaded by loadmodule @ startup-sequence.

4. (Optional) Flash into (E/EE)PROM chip or (more sane) into A500Flash1M or similar such rom switcher solution with a flashrom in it.

Note you'll want at least 2MB RAM total for this, at least 1MB of which being CHIP RAM. If you don't have this much, don't even bother.
I worked in a role that had rather strict rules about our devices and data. We were given a different phone and laptop to take when traveling, and VPN'd back to the office once there to access our files. The devices were just entry level Blackberry/iPhones and Thinkpads (this was a decade or so ago) with nothing on them except a local copy of the corporate contact list. No email accounts set up, no calendar set up, etc. We were to VPN in for all that stuff when not local (tether laptop to phone if not on wifi and needed email).

If we were questioned at all about it (I never was, but others were), we were told to give them a business card from our direct Manager, and contact them with any questions. I have no idea what the Managers were trained to say or how they dealt with it as I was pretty low in the totem pole, but I assume there's standard practices out there for this.
"There are plenty of backup tools available on the internet, this isn't really a problem with Android"

Name one and describe the process. So far everything I have tried takes hours and often loses a bunch of settings that need to be restored manually. It requires significant amounts of work. Also it seems most tools need a rooted phone

It's in the Yandex namespace and it is used by said company, which is a huge plus. But if you looked at the development history just a while ago, it was highly dependent on Alexey.

It reminds me of Grumpy (https://github.com/google/grumpy), which was released by Google, but was later basically abandoned when the lead left Google.

That being said, the situation is better than last time I checked this, there is a handful of somewhat active developers. https://github.com/yandex/ClickHouse/graphs/contributors

Other than fixing the actual problem (the overreaching legislation/government), the only other solution seems to be using a burner phone when traveling. I would absolutely not trust any device handed to an official, even if it was factory reset and I had a backup.
That's very interesting, can you provide a source for that?
Quality is subjective, just like beauty or really anything else. But it turns out a lot of people share the same subjective views of a lot of things. A game that would be subjectively appealing to most gamers will generally do much better than a game that does not. A sufficient amount of marketing might be able to offset some of that effect, but not always, and only at great expense.
Not too surprising, they killed their server hardware line (Xserve) in 2004, and the Mac Minis that people were using as substitutes lost their quad-core option in 2012.

The number of people hanging on to Macs as servers has to be vanishingly small, and Apple doesn't do small markets anymore. There are currently rumors of a "Pro" focused Mac Mini, yes, but that's going to be comparatively expensive and I doubt it could win back much server market even if Apple wanted to.

They'll stick around as servers for iOS builds because there's no other option (and the Pro Mini would be nice for that), but hanging on to Macs for any other sort of server outside of a home file server is a lost cause.
This isn't the fans voting on an ending, you can just make choices as you watch the show, at least that's how I read it.

Of course. Folks go where they're welcome and can make a difference. Its all part of the culture. It can all be changed. The mistake is in thinking its somehow hardwired, or dwelling on who's fault it is.

"Remember "Diskdoctor"? It earned its PhD and is now ready to reliably rescue data from your floppies or hard disks."

Remember the cool old "AGA - time to upgrade - AGA" slogan in some of the demos? Now it's

ZFS - time to upgrade - ZFS

...it's the 21st century, and AmigaOS doesn't even have software RAID, let alone ZFS yet. We still have to check filesystems for metadata corruption, and checking them for data corruption is still science fiction. And nobody bats an eyelash, like it's the most normal thing in the world. Meanwhile, the capacitors are leaking like crazy, modern PC-bucket power supplies don't deliver steady 5V, the clock crystal loses or gains up to 5 seconds per day, even the newest accelerator hardware doesn't support ECC memory... what could possibly go wrong with one's data?
I mean, they could cut copies of any keys you have on you, so you don't really have any guarantees there either, and you should therefore expect your locks to be compromised. Or they could photocopy any paper documents, etc.
Sure, everybody is biased in many ways. I am not claiming I don't have any bias, but those become irrelevant if you make an effort to decide things rationally. And in my opinion, when judging other people, we should always make sure we're basing our decision on rationality, not what feels better to us.

This obviously requires some work to train yourself to notice when you're lying to yourself or making up reasons to go with the decision that feels better when you should really know it's not the correct one.
As a New Zealander, I'd say we're unashamed in trying to balance the welfare of our citizens with growth opportunities from new immigrants.

If you're likely to be a drain on the public healthcare system, then you're not likely to get permission to live here. Why? It's not fair to those people who have already paid into the system, to subsidise someone who hasn't.

And we are picky. There's no visa lottery here. A points-based system with high thresholds. And that's OK. Same as Australia. Same as Canada.
Well the relevant thing here is that he still had the pictures on his computer. Maybe he was taking pictures of 15 year olds when he was 14 or whatever, but they arrested a 28 year old man whose hard drive was full of images of people that are at most 17 years old.
Also, grandparent is assuming a bad season/sequel doesn't tarnish the original.

For example, my perception of House of Cards has been diminished by the subpar later seasons.
1) It probably makes them at least a noticeable percentage of revenue, if not much, so that cutting it out completely would maybe cut funding for a dozen employees. They'll need to dwindle sales down first, probably by deprecating it, so that they can justify the cut internally.

2) Even if they're backpedalling on the idea of macOS as a server and pushing for migrating to open source tools, they don't want to openly admit this, that always looks bad and unprofessional.

3) They're probably phasing it out slowly and in the next release or two they will probably deprecate it, and remove it completely from MAS in the next major macOS update.

4) They'll want to wait until they can play up their contribution and downplays that they were on the wrong side of history: "We're deprecating macOS Server, which has been a boon and a huge innovation in this space for 20 years, and helped $N millions of customers, but at this point the open source community has finally caught up to our quality."

5) At that point, the remaining useful features will be integrated into macOS proper for free, and they'll tout how they're benefiting everyone by doing this and simplifying everyone's workflow and saving everyone money.
Thanks! It feels that you are speaking from your own experience. Indeed, it's hard. But not everyone understands this.

That's what happens to any product or technology eventually. It's market saturation.

Does it support MDM and DEP for iOS devices?

Is there an iOS MDM provider which will allow you to configure per-app VPNs that connect to an open-source VPN? Microsoft Intune only supports specific corporate VPNs, is that because per-app VPNs require a corporate VPN app that is installed on the phone? Why can't the native IPSEC client perform this function on a per-app basis? It would allow segmentation of Facebook from normal traffic.

The problem is that the lab isn't isolated, and so facts produced by the lab can have strong political bias. A 'wrongthink' produced by a lab would have a far stronger criticism applied to it than a 'rightthink' using the same methodology. Combined with issues like competing for funding, publish or perish, and the extreme lack of reproduction, it casts a level of doubt on any facts coming from science, especially when they have strong tie in to political areas.

And to specify, the 'rightthink' and 'wrongthink' examples I've studied in the past were cases that didn't breakdown by any common political stance like left or right, but were findings that either agreed or disagreed with positions held strongly by people regardless of political standing. I do think the results would apply as expected when considering a political issue that broken down per party lines, but the reaction is much stronger when there there is more uniform agreement for or against something.
