April 19: Quarantine free travel opens between NZ and Australia, as both countries are "covid free". Everyone looks forward to holidays and some limited return to travel normality.

May-June-July: NZ pauses quarantine free travel to NZ from some Aus states, resarts for some, pauses again, restarts for others, etc, etc, rinse and repeat, I can't figure out the actual timelines here. Some people are trapped while away and unable to return home.

July 24: NZ says fuck this and stops free travel from all of Australia until they get their shit together.

August: Australia experiences full-on outbreak

Currently about half of NZ is vaccinated, and there is worry we might need to go into another full lockdown if the delta variant arrives, after having virtually no covid in the community for over a year now. For now, I'm happy for the Australians to stay home.

I do wonder about this though: That partner also has to be five kilometres away from where you live.

Did they forget to say "at most"? (or, hmmm, "at least")
There are many states, of brain and matter. None of them - none, behavioural concerns or even desires or not, have anything to do with enlightenment. It's even meaningless to appoint so and so enlightened. In fact, stating such displays the ignorance.

No tradition have exclusive rights either.

What we can do is point the direction, what it is not, etc., when someone is seeking realization.
>wannabe capitalists with a dream of one day being the oppressive CEO abusing their workers

Alternatively, we're just people that recognize that it's absurd to think you have, or even deserve, to use someone else's property for whatever you want.

Do you also think it's oppressive that public libraries have rules against using their computers for porn?

Nice ad hominem, though.
The inside of a company is not a bubble isolated from the rest of the society and with a different set of laws. Despite what billionaires really want it to be.
Here's an example of a confused commenter in this very thread.

There are legitimate privacy concerns, and Hacker News users are right to be upset. But that's not an excuse to pretend like this issue is broadly understood.
This says that trademarks require you to make and sell products, not patents.
I think the counter argument to this is breakthrough cases and vaccine accessibility.

The lockdowns also allow for less movement which makes the contact tracing more effective. The reduction in movement also makes it possible to enforce laws on those who wouldn’t otherwise comply willingly.
Can somebody explain the context around the word Bubble here? I can't figure out what "Single Bubble Partner" is or what a bubble is.
Money laundering laws are a fiction perpetrated by authoritarian leaning leaders. It equates to "monetary transactions I don't like for idealogical reasons". In the US for example, there is no monetary transaction that occurs at all that cannot be selectively prosecuted as money laundering. Breaking a $20 dollar bill into smaller bills to use as a tip in a restaurant is a plain violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1956 .
That's trademark
> You do not have a right to use your employer's computer without your employer's permission.

Thankfully not true in sane countries

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.lci.fr/amp/societe/video-en...

In short, you definitely have a right to send e.g. personal emails from your work computer and your employer definitely does not have the right to go look into them for instance
We will hit 4 plus in fifty years. They will be affected, no matter where they live or how rich they will be.
That's correct, which is why the same laws that say you can't just take someone else's computer and do whatever you want with it apply within a company just the same. On a company laptop, you do not have the right to do anything on it without permission from the company.

These are the same laws that also allow surveillance cameras not only within company properties, but even in public.

You do not have the right to privacy when you are not in a private space. This applies to company computers just the same.
Let's do a more realistic example. Ford introduces a "driver safety" mechanism where the car requires a clean breathalyzer reading in order to start. If it fails it pops up a message that reminds you that drunk driving is illegal but doesn't actually stop you from starting the engine. It then sends Ford the results in an encrypted payload along with 1/30th of the decryption key.

After 30 reports someone at Ford opens the payloads, looks at the results and, decides whether to contact the police based on how damning the evidence is.

Because all the tests are performed locally you're never giving up any of your privacy unless you actually are driving drunk or are the 1/billion and get 30 false positives. I feel like this is a much stronger than the "if you have nothing to hide" meme because local testing like this lets you can have everything to hide while still revealing specific bad behavior.

Like if the TSA had scanners that somehow could only reveal banned items and nothing else I’m not sure I would even consider it a privacy violation.
I don't know if they're taught these days-- they weren't when I was in school-- but sed & awk are two tools I'd recommend to pretty much everyone.

I remember stumbling on to them in my first job and thinking an very much appreciating their power over having to write a small program to iterate through an arbitrary # of files to do something... and another small program if I wanted to do something slightly different, etc.

Very interesting, thanks. For reference, these seem to be the standards:

But the model for it to be accessible to the general public is readily available, it's just not evenly distributed.

I can go to several local fed-ex offices here in Vancouver and they will print on demand a file that I provide them, for a very reasonable cost (given that they eat the cost of misprints and supervision of the process).

There are a number of fairly successful print on demand businesses that are niche specialized as well, heroforge is a great example.
Nobody claims Chinese languages are isolates. French, Italian, Romanian, and Spanish have obvious similarities and an obvious common progenitor, but are not "dialects of Latin". German, Latin, Persian and Greek hardly resemble one another, but all trace to proto-Indo-European.

Similarly, there is a Sinitic family of languages. But they are as different from one another as any collection of languages that have evolved away from one another, and mixed with other families, over millennia.

It is common for Chinese to believe they can read texts from 2000 years ago because they recognize the signs, but what they think it says has at best a tenuous relationship with what was written.
It will destroy our civilization, i dont know what people expect when we hit 4 plus..
> I actually have no problem with pharma companies seeing huge profits from the covid vaccines.

Not that long ago people were talking about how the for-profit medical industry didn't have the best interest of the people in mind because their priority was to make money, to the detriment of people who can't afford healthcare. Now that seems to have vanished and all of a sudden they are able to still make profit while at the same time get massive public funding.
Which one is this?
This feels more like a marketing document to me than a workaday threat model. It's fairly handwavey, and the goal seems to be to convince rather than to do a hardnosed analysis.

Not that it's not useful—I found it convincing—but I doubt this is what a real threat model looks like. Not that I actually know. I'd be interested in seeing a real one too.
If they weren't doing any scanning why would they find any to report? The data is encrypted as rest so... why would they find any to report. This clearly doesn't include search requests [1].

iCloud has perhaps 25% of the users of Facebook. Of that 25% it's not clear how many actively use the platform of backups/photos. iCloud is not a platform for sharing content like Facebook. So how many reports should we expect to see from Apple? It's unclear to me.

So, I'm not saying the number isn't suspiciously low. But it doesn't really clarify what's going on to me...

They learned from the mistake and now doesn't want to make the same mistake. Sounds fair though.

How do you guarantee it is just a research group?

Didn't Cambridge analytics look innocent as well in the beginning?
No hard feelings. Keep up the good work.
Ehn, I don't know if you can go from

"my internet provider, cox, does not actually support ipv6" to "I think it is safe to say that ipv6 is dead".

There are much more comprehensive ways to look at ipv6 adoption, e.g. https://www.google.com/intl/en/ipv6/statistics.html
Thanks for your insight and perspective. Reading about things like this resulted in me mostly stepping away from meditation some time ago. I still find some of the mindfulness skills I learned useful for managing stress, but I've decided not to take it deeper than that.

(One other reason: I had a horrific experience on a dissociative drug that, on further research, seemed to mirror the experience of many meditators who hit that brick wall you mentioned. It was the worst experience of my life, and if I risk hitting that wall again through meditation, it's not worth it for me.)
Nowhere near half of NZ is vaccinated. Nowhere near.
Sure, if you ignore:

Article 3:

> Everyone has the right to life, liberty and security of person.

Article 29:

> In the exercise of his rights and freedoms, everyone shall be subject only to such limitations as are determined by law solely for the purpose of securing due recognition and respect for the rights and freedoms of others and of meeting the just requirements of morality, public order and the general welfare in a democratic society.

When there's a conflict between your rights and my rights, like "I want to travel freely, and you want to not die", we wind up having to navigate that.
> The fundamental issue with their PSI/CSAM system is that they already were scanning iCloud content

This scanning was of email attachments being sent through an iCloud-hosted account, not of other iCloud hosted data (which is encrypted during operation.)
No, it's much shallower than that. Internet religious flamewar sucks and we don't want it here, therefore people aren't allowed to post comments that fuel it.
That's why there are badges that open doors and laptops, and permissions linked to accounts.
Wow, it seems I wasn't thinking low-level enough. I'll have to remember that emacs macro. If I ever get around to learning emacs.
More like, the government says Apple can't operate there unless they include what they say is illegal.

Apple is run by humans who are subject to influence and bias. Who knows what policy changes will come in Apple's future. Apple's previous stance was to not hand over data because they don't have access to it. This change completely reverses that.
I get these as well..(twice so far) they are no fun to say the least. I’ve also read stories of the surgeries making “flare ups” more regular. Stress seems to be a big driver for me (first one at the start of college and second one during travel…)

All of the things you mentioned have helped me as well. I also have a couple of hemorrhoid cushions that I sit on to reduce pressure.

I’ve found that when I start to feel pain in my tailbone immediately taking some anti inflammatory medicine and getting antibiotics ASAP before the inflammation cuts off blood flow has stopped them in their tracks!
> Vaccination rates are low, not because of an unwilling populace but because the federal government failed to source enough vaccines.

Australia has been producing the Astra-Zeneca vaccine, but having deemed it unsafe for their own people, they donated large amounts to developing countries while they waited in a queue for the Pfizer vaccine. Then the Delta variant showed up and the risk-benefit ratio of the AZ vaccine changed, so now all Aussie adults can get it if they choose.

It's funny because Fiji will soon have over 80% of their eligible population vaccinated thanks to the Aussies, while Australia lags far, far behind.
That link doesn’t confirm that they have already been doing it. Just that they changed an EULA.
You can use Lightning cable with only Apple products.

With a USB cable you can use it with your camera, power bank, phone, earbuds, toaster so on and so forth.

I’ve had a grand total of 2 USB cables, a USB A to micro USB for legacy devices and a USB A to USB C for every other recent device.

For my iPhone I needed to buy an extra USB A to lightning in addition to the one provided by Apple, because the cable they provided does not fit with any existing chargers (except with my laptop).

I agree Lightning port feels much sturdier than USB C, not sure if this is an inherent design flaw of USB C.
We can take this idea further, both in justification and scope: intellectual property should not exist.

This video makes the case for the abolishment of IP pretty well: https://youtu.be/mnnYCJNhw7w
The document states that incorrectly flagged items are forwarded to engineering for analysis. Given their target false-positive rate (1 in 3 trillion, was it?) it seems likely that engineering would very carefully analyze a rush of false positives.
IPv6 will never happen without someone forcing hands of big corps and ISPs to switch to Ipv6.

Imagine all social media and streaming services, disable ipv4 within a month. These are not critical services but still will force ISPs to make the switch.
Basically, if you live alone, you can designate one person who doesn't live with you but lives within 5km of you, who is then allowed to visit you in person (but not vice versa, unless your designee also lives alone). Your choice is permanent and can never be changed.
The company cannot even look at the employee's work emails unless there are already indications that the employee is acting in bad faith ("Anfangsverdacht").
Except, historically, it was “Tesla had a nice slim cable and all the other manufacturers didn’t want to use it so they invented a monstrosity”: I’d be really unhappy having to use a CCS port with a Tesla, after the current plug.
Funny you should say that, because that's definitely not the perception among my friends. I wouldn't overly generalise from one's own circles (or the circlejerk that is Aussie Twitter/Reddit) - I think there's genuine and good faith disagreement on the cost-benefit trade-off of lockdowns in the community.

It is definitely the perspective that's being pushed very hard by all the local media though, who are absolutely revelling in the circus of daily Premier's briefings.

It's also worth noting WHY we're so unvaccinated - the media frenzy over the minuscule risks associated with AstraZeneca, which we make locally and have mountains of, and the consequent switch to Pfizer, which we don't make locally and are short on.
Mine had some beta program years ago. You had to find a number to call which was hidden away in a locked filing cabinet hidden away in a disused lavatory.

They were purchased recently and maybe there is hope now.

> Apple can, and is in fact required to, verify that they have actual CSAM

It's not Apple's job to decide if something is CSAM or not. They're required to report it if they suspect it is, even if they can't confirm it.
I wonder if it could support specialty audio chip manufacturing.
in our lifetimes. you don't think ipv6 will overtake ipv4 in the next 50-odd years? think about the year 1971 and what was thought possible then
While on the topic, I remember reading articles during the 2016 election where journalists were doing legit work to track down the sources of those original "fake news" articles and the trail led to basically a business model that could be successful in poorer eastern european countries that just replied on clicks and they posted anything that'd garner a click. I even read an interview with one of them.

Then, when the narrative shifted to it being Russian intelligence, I never heard anything like my previous story again.

I'm really unclear what actually happened. Was that a progression of events, was it always Russian, was it never Russian?
This seems like the road of mediocrity as the companies selling a cheaper product will not want to ever spend on any additional features.
In my case (AltGr similarly reserved for (mostly) Polish specific letters), I set it to the right Ctrl key, though keys like CapsLock and Menu are also good candidates.

I am still young, but I can remember when every friggin phone had its own charger. Going somewhere and hoping someone had a charger was literally not an option. Now thanks to the EU guideline you only have three chargers, USB-C, USB-B micro and whatever Apple does. Before every manufacturer had their own connector with their own peripherals.

And this is why Apple does it. Of they would comply with the standard they were in a situation where people had the expectation that all USB-C peripherals would work for Apple as well. Apple reduced the number of connectors on their macbooks not without reason, at first you got less PCB-space sure, but connectors are also expensive so you safe money and in the case of Apple you gain money by selling peripherals.

I never had or witnessed any issue with USB-C ports since they came out and I am working on PCBs under the microscope, people tend to come to me with their broken stuff privately and I repaired a number of USB-B micro jacks.

Even with those it rarely was the connector that failed but the PCB around it (lifted pads, broken substrate, etc). If you do something like the lockable USB-C connector mount from Neutrik I am pretty sure USB-C would win in a mechanical stress test.

I soldered USB-C connectors before (just never had to replace them yet) and they were ot weirder or harder to solder than any other current connector. And I would probably not have big troubles resoldering them of needed.
If numbers can be imaginary, why not people? Many imaginary numbers are extremely useful, so there's no reason you can't lead a perfectly productive career as an imaginary person.

I do not know why you are so against persecuting money-laundering, considering it's definition according to Wikipedia:

> Money laundering is the process of changing large amounts of money obtained from crimes, such as drug trafficking, into origination from a legitimate source. [...] It is a key operation of the underground economy.
In US law it is the practice of engaging in financial transactions to conceal the identity, source, or destination of illegally gained money.
Interestingly enough, the Chinese were the first to use de-facto standards for replaceable batteries; the BL5C is one that's still relatively common in (non-phone) devices today, although it started out as a Nokia-featurephone-specific size. I believe many of the varous generic multi-branded Android phones use a battery size that was originally from a popular Samsung model.

At the moment having house guests who you are not in a romantic relationship with is basically illegal except for wellness checks.

If you live alone and are single you can nominate another person who also lives alone and is single. If you do this you can be a house guest of each other lawfully.

This allows for better mental health outcomes for single people who live alone.
Neil Prakash is one I'm familiar with, but there've been many others who've had their citizenships cancelled.

Prakash was born in Australia, radicalised in Australia, and became a terrorist in Australia. He went off to the Middle East and did bad shit.

Australia wanted to wash their hands of the hurt they'd unleashed on the world, so they claimed that he was a (dual) citizen of Fiji, and they cancelled his Australian citizenship.

Prakash's Aussie father was Fiji-born and may (this isn't clear) have still been a Fiji citizen at the time he fathered Prakash in Australia. However, Fiji does not automatically grant citizenship to children of Fijians born overseas. Their parents need to apply for their citizenship, and Prakash's father never did this because of course he had left Fiji and made Australia his home.

So Prakash was not born in Fiji, never gained Fiji citizenship, and has never stepped foot in Fiji.

https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2021/feb/23/peter...

He was an Australian citizen, and rather than deal with their problem, they made him stateless.

Thanks. It sounds like a solid plan.

Out of curiosity, how big is your company? How often do you interview? Approx what % of the candidates get an offer?
I find the ipv6 address scary because IP geolocation gives that in the same city district. Cgnat would be better because the server would see ipv4 of the ISP.
I don't know, is there a way to not show my ipv6 and fall back on cgnat address because that looks much more secure in terms of not getting doxed and ad tracked.
