Budapest, in Hungary? You might wanna look up Viktor Orban before moving to there.

If you're British you can roam freely through the EU. I can recommend Germany instead: strong privacy laws, and due to recent history (WWI, WWII, Cold War) there is a relative strong pro privacy mindset. Though I recommend learning German if you intend to settle in large cities such as Berlin and international companies or IT you can easily get away with English.
Another problem would be the delivery. Yes, writing something that behaves like a browser would be nice, but it took 10-15 years for browsers to be present on enough computers to make a clear difference, and there is currently no reason to assume that a new technology that is the-same-but-simpler would have nearly as much success.

Of course, the solution would probably be to compile that code to something that works in actual browsers, which would be somewhat ironic :)

Some tactics I've picked up:

- I work mostly from a clean, normal Python codebase in my normal IDE

- I'll have a file like "common.py" or something

- I keep a Jupyter notebook running always, and I'll do a (from importlib import reload) reload(common) to update any code in my live environment

I also:

- Cache a lot to disk (np.save/np.load).

- For every long-running method, have a tiny subset to unit test it

> I can't believe someone actually bought that line.

I didn't buy the line, but be realistic, what percentage of Australians could even make a coherent argument against this bill? It's a vanishingly small percentage.

I watched some bullshit morning TV segment on this where an EFF spokesperson gave some sound arguments wrt this bills overreach potential and downsides, the opposing argument? "But who can argue against ISIS using whats app?". Boom, argument shut down and the presenter sided with the ISIS argument.

It's sad, it sucks, but unfortunately most people are not even able to comprehend the anit-argument because terrorists=bad.

> Is that how weak of a party they are, that they can't find real arguments against what that is a baseless accusation meant to cause misdirection?

Yes this is modern politics. What is your solution? I don't have one.

>One more thing, Australia just became the first western country to allow encryption backdoors, something all security experts have been warning is a very bad, terrible idea,

Australia is a piddling little country that is a test bed for the 5eyes. We think we're globally important, but that is simple self-delusion.

>But again, their excuses make no sense, especially in the light of them actually fighting Liberals on disallowing the powers to be used against politicians.

Yes, absolutely. It makes me sick that there is a provision within the bill to exclude parliamentarians. There is a deep sickness in our democratic process, but how do we expect to fix it?
Oh that's harsh...
I'm a huge Gitlab fan but this seems a little parallel to their core service if not orthogonal... I've been pretty pleased with the feature progress of Gitlab overall though, for example support for merge request-only CI steps just landed[0]

I see this as a play to start leveraging all the machines they have hanging around for running jobs and gitlab instances, and I'm not against it as long as the Gitlab itself doesn't suffer. Are they planning to pivot to becoming a cloud provider like digital ocean? It feels like if they can manage orchestrating serverless functions they can manage orchestrating containers or VMs...

I had a completely opposite experience with freebsd. It felt like a fossil from the past, the boot time was immensely bigger than that on linux with systemd, drivers are old (drm drivers are very old and mostly backported from linux).

The init system is lacking, service maintenance is basically absent. There are also no killer features over linux, beyond zfs and (doubtfully) jails. Even if you are a systemd hater (which is imho unreasonable), you could stick to linux without systemd and have a better hardware and software support.

{Open,net}bsd are another story, though.

>I checked one of the papers they refer to [0] and... well, they fed mice (not humans) a diet with an 8- to 16-fold increase in salt. As with all nutrients, there is an optimal intake range, and anything below or above that is by definition sub-optimal. In humans, the optimum for sodium intake per day seems to be well above dietary recommendations, but also well below 16 times the amounts described in those recommendations.

Is there some underlying assumption that those researches are idiots and didn't know all that?

The logical interpretation is that they gave 8- to 16-fold increase in salt purposefully, because they cared to see whether there are any specific effects mediated through salt. In over words, they want to put the effects on full blast to magnify responses and be able to see some novel connection, not to see how a mouse cops with mild over-consumption of salt.

Specifically, the article says that they found it resulted "in increased vulnerability of the brain to autoimmunity", which one wouldn't expect from sub-optimal salt intake alone. This is not some rehash of "very high salt = blood pressure, duh!".
One solution might be allowing false identities in Marine Traffic aka AIS for navy and coast guard ships. They could claim to be civilian ships of same size. Especially while kayaking in Norway the AIS is essential, as bigger ships do not have any methods to detect kayaks except visual.

>I wouldn't call him an idiot, just not quite up to date on the latest nutritional studies

Since "the latest nutritional studies" are a dime a dozen, and one says one thing, another says the opposite, it's wise to ignore them altogether until they are grown more and established into a concrete set of suggestions.

I'd ignore anything that hasn't reach the level of "nutrition 101" in a university course, and is still on "just published on a peer reviewed journal" level.

Basically, in a keyboard several keyswitches share the same wires. Thus when pressing keys on the same wire it can happen that the controller recognize the wrong key or multiple keys. This can be solved and depending on how many keys you can press at the same time it's called 2-key,3-key, etc. or n-key when there is no limit.

Should be noted that USB is limited by design to 6-key, only PS2 allows AFAIK true n-key.

You can look up matrix-wiring and diodes in keyboards if you want a more realistic explenation regarding the problems in keyboard-design

But that's still consistent with what GP was writing: that expensive stuff is research, not teaching, funded by grants, not tuition. Some students will take a role in experiments running at those facilities, but many will never see those places from the inside.

But isn't it bad that the law isn't more specific? As it is right now, couldn't the one issuing the order specify exactly what steps the compelled need to take? I'm sure there are quite a few highly skilled individuals working for the Australian spy agency that could craft a method of implementation for a backdoor with a low possibility of detection. Especially if the compelled needs to disclose internal development and security practices.

I haven't fully understood the law myself, so this is both speculation and a question.

Yes, it's a bad law. Yes, in large part that's because it's vague. No, it's not so vague that it's impossible to figure out any limits to the implications for service providers.

The worst vagueness is in specific areas (e.g. what does the prohibition on "systemic weaknesses" in mandated technical capabilities actually mean - lots of expert opinion says that the definition of that particular safeguard doesn't actually protect us against very much).

The final section of their post discusses a common idea that interception agencies can request individual employees to do things without their employers' knowledge. I'm pretty confident this is bogus, and appears to be based on a misunderstanding of statutory interpretation that some organisations have encouraged (see the thread at https://twitter.com/stilgherrian/status/1072666031963979777, which includes at least one actual lawyer), and at least one representative of the Australian Government who was involved in drafting the legislation has explicitly denied this (towards the end of the recording at https://www.lawfareblog.com/lawfare-podcast-global-developme..., there may be better and more formal written sources for this).

Also, they're wrong about the start date of this legislation - it's already commenced.

So, yes, the law is very bad and vague (in parts), and yes, you need to think about worst case scenarios, but that doesn't excuse poor analysis.

edit: I should also add that apart from the badness of the law itself, the Government primarily has itself to blame for not communicating with industry and community and allowing wild speculation to go around unchecked - they have really lost control of the narrative here, and that's bad for their own desired outcomes more than anything else.

Like people with a loaded gun, sailors and officiers of warships think they are invincible and anybody else has to avoid them and not vice versa

I don’t think anyone in any recent warship collision has thought that. Generally they were simply oblivious to their surroundings. The USN root-caused it to sleep deprivation plus cuts in the training budget 10 years ago. Now the generation of officers who missed the training are commanding ships themselves and they don’t know what they don’t know.

But fooling around in a busy shipping lane without AIS or running lights in a ship designed for stealth should be obviously stupid, I’ll give you that!
Same thing happened to me: I loved the layout, but the keybord died after a year. I switched to a kinesis, since I know other people who have kept theirs for years.

No, they aren't. Law sometimes expresses either a consensus view or a compromise between views of rights, sometimes it deals with things at a level only distantly related to rights.

Even in most conceptions of rights that include some inalienable rights, not all rights are inalienable.
How can you not see a big ship coming towards you even at night? I mean don't you see it's lights. Furthermore, they were warned repeatedly by radio. I'm sorry if I sound harsh but I can't help but think how they can be so incompetent?

I'm afraid there is a worrying trend in these kind of accidents to deflect the blame to the electronics/software. Isn't your job to keep the car/ship/vehicle intact? Technology is there to help you but not to do your job.

The initial info is that the ship sank due to design flaws, like water getting through watertight seals. The collision is in no way attributed to the builder but to the ship's crew.

>> Norwegian authorities found that confusion on the Ingstad’s bridge was the immediate cause of the collision, but that the ship sank because of progressive flooding. After the collision, water quickly moved through several watertight compartments, apparently via the ship’s propeller shafts, which pass through the bulkheads between the compartments through theoretically watertight openings (known as stuffing tubes or stuffing boxes) that should prevent progressive flooding.

>> Based on crew interviews, authorities determined that the stuffing boxes weren’t working properly, jeopardising the watertightness of the ship. The investigation report warned that the faults that sunk the Ingstad could also be in other Navantia ships, raising questions about a possible problem with the design.

yep fair comment, and fwiw I agree with you, but I take issue with people who think it's reasonable for an opposition party to take sides on a complex technical issue that unfortunately boils down to "should we allow ISIS to use whats app?" argument.

It's unwinnable.

They could use ID's of decommissioned ships. Or ID's of ships with only seasonal use. The problem is that smugglers and spies soon learn those false ID's if they are not changed frequently.

AFAIK it’s not a port of bhyve but a Port of the bhyve userland tools that tap into the MacOS hypervisor framework.

I wish there was a simpler approach to the hypervisor framework. I normally avoid using any third party software that wants to taint the kernel and third party hypervisors fall into that category. There is parallels desktop lite which can be installed from the App Store but it’s extremely limited (and paywalled) for something that I suspect it’s just a pretty interface to the hypervisor framework.
None of this makes any sense. Modern warship sailors and officers are trained in, and expected to know at a professional level, seamanship, including international rules of right of way [1]. And they've been operating in crowded ports for decades if not centuries, that's nothing new.

All that happened in this case was the warship's watch changed at night and the new watch mistook the oncoming supertanker's lights for shore terminal lights, mistook the radio warnings, and didn't sound the alarm soon enough.

Also the most effective weapon in modern skirmishes remains, er, weapons. A big heavy ship can still be quickly disabled and/or sunk with a single modern cannon, torpedo, or anti-ship missile.

Oh, not at all. They are not idiots. That paper was written with a purpose which was properly met (mainly getting to publish and, to a lesser extent, to confirm a previous notion or bias).

The issue is reporting of results to the public. Someone feeds mice a ridiculous amount of salt and notices they have some health issues. Let's assume for an instant that this is somehow useful for some reason (I mean, salt poisoining has been known for millenia and people actually commit suicide by drinking saturated salt solutions). Even in that case, journalists are still distilling the whole thing into "more salt is bad", which is what the average person will understand. The general public doesn't read scientific literature with a critical thinking mindset, if at all.
