edit: found information about emergency authorisation

Here's the bill under discussion [1] :

This article states that it brings in new warrants, and makes no mention of "without a judge's warrant" [2].

Perhaps the original article is keying off of:

"(aab) to establish procedures for certain law enforcement officers of the Australian Federal Police or the Australian Crime Commission to obtain warrants and emergency authorisations" [3]

"emergency authorisations" would appear to not require a warrant, but it does include language of "it is not practicable in the circumstances to apply for a <warrant>" [4]

However, I'm not Australian, and definitely not a lawyer.

Yup, this is the concern. Having been kindly asked by Oracle to remove virtualbox extensions, this sort of gotcha/conditional pricing feels dangerous
Technology has made it far more dangerous. Swatting. Identity theft.

It wasn’t terribly practical for, say, a random person in Spain to harass, steal from, or cause the death of someone in the U.S. 20-30 years ago. Everything is global now.
Not to directly answer your question, but my trust of "the system" in general is severely shaken by recent cases involving the treatment of whistleblowers.

Australia's powers-that-be seem to be promoting a chilling effect on any revelations that may cause negative publicity about said powers-that-be.

I'm not sure SF is a great example. For most tech workers, they're giving themselves a worse commute by living in the city rather than somewhere else in the South Bay closer, in many/most cases, to where their office is. So, yes, their jobs may be a major reason they're in the Bay Area overall, but mostly not in SF itself.

This is of course much less true in industries like finance.
Care to elaborate? Not sure why the HN title changed
It's possible the demo-er was intentionally leaving pauses for the viewer to parse what was taking place.

It's also possible that PowerShell just takes a little while to load up the profile. That's why I stick with cmd.exe (within the Terminal of course, I'm not a barbarian) :P
employer hosted you mean... i'll delete after you correct, cheers

but the apple anti-trust enforcement action I'd like to see enforced would be them keeping dad-jokes all to themselves, denying competitors the same comic relief
Yes because societies are built on rules and enforcement of the societal contract has always come, in some measure, by the government's ability to enforce the basically decent behavior that the majority wants.

The fact that the majority has often historically been in the wrong doesn't mean that we throw the baby out with the bathwater and get rid of enforcement of the laws: Anarchy is not preferable to a well ordered peaceful society.
I got bitten by a Mac bug a couple of months ago: The latest version of Docker desktop didn't work for something (don't remember anymore) so I had to revert to a previous version and work in that for several months now.
But not everyone cares about 'libre' software, or thinks the simple descriptive term 'free' should be co-opted in discussions like you are.
In similar news the well-known direct democracy of Switzerland just voted a new rule giving police similar surveillance powers without judicial oversight. So it's obviously the people wishing to be better surveilled and we're the outliers here.

Hey we get asked plenty of questions when the bill comes in :)
If you're referring to Docker Desktop on Windows, you can use the Hyper-V backend instead of WSL2. MacOS uses HyperKit API to spin up a Linux VM to run it. There is no native engine for Windows or MacOS.

>Why would the bottom 51% have more influence than the top 51%

51 + 51 = 102%

The bottom 51% have more influence than the top 49% because one is a majority. There is your answer.
Reminds me of anti-free speech laws that was almost passed in France.

It was designed to help fight « hate speech ».

It enable police to remove literally ANY content from the interne t as long as it was « hateful » of course there is no legal definition of hateful.

I think similar laws have been passed in Belgium and Germany.

I find it funny that has economic growth from the post war era is slowing down and climate change is accelerating our fundamentals rights and freedom are slowly being taken away from us ,bits by bits with more or less the same laws everywhere.

Very strange.
"Fear of the next election" is one of the few things that keeps elected leaders in line.

You want a wise, just dictator for life, and maybe you luck out and get one who reigns beneficently for a few decades, but who's to say their successor will be as good, or the next one, and on and on until you inevitably get a Stalin.

Put another way: if the leader dies, and heir A spends all their effort on ruling effectively, and heir B spends all their effort on beating heir A to the throne, how can heir A succeed? You'd need metrics for being a good ruler which are immune to Goodhart's Law.

Given that—over time—power inevitably centralizes and inevitably is abused, those tendencies must be counterbalanced; or else power must be regularly reset by more crude means.
I admit it was more for the geek factor than anything else, and I'm no expert in the field. Here are the source stats[1] from chrony:

>Do you really think that businesses are going to jeopardize the workflows of their $250k/year assets over a very core piece of software for $250/year?

Tech companies? No, they will probably cough up until they have another solution.

IT departments in non-tech companies? Yes. I fully expect a circus there. Many won't have known it was being used, purchasing will have their ego bruised by a company "hijacking" them and won't want to pay, and so on.
WOW, this is unbelievable!
I'm just a single anecdatum, but Ubuntu from the installer through the installed system has been pretty flawless on my hybrid-GPU laptop. The GPUs aren't even from the same vendor. It's an AMD APU and an nVidia discrete GPU. The right-click menu in Gnome for every program gives me the option to start the program with the discrete graphics.

At the time I tried, the Debian installer got very confused about the video situation. Fedora and Mint weren't really happy either. I didn't try Pop, Arch, or anything else.

There's a long case history in front on the NRLB about whether or not employees can use employer's resource (ie notice boards, email system, slack) for organizing. In general the rule has been that if employees can use something for general non-work purposes (e.g. setting up a baseball game on the weekend) then the company can't stop them from using it for organizing.

However the specifics (e.g. what if there is a policy about what topics are OK, but some OK topics are non-work, or what if there is a general work-only policy that is selectively enforced against organizing) have gone back and forth depending on the administration.

Apple's behaviour is probably a result of a 2019 ruling [1] which opend the door to this kind of thing. Given that the administration has swung back to being fairly labor friendly, it'll be interesting if this gets to the NRLB to see if they find a way to make this illegal.

I think he means free as in open source, rather than free as in freeware. In which the worst case scenario is that you are stuck with the last open-source version, but at least you retain full control over your fork of the code and can add features and bug fixes as you see fit.
Clock for clock a 6502/65816 would outperform a 68000 at raw byte moving and responding to interrupts, but the 68k would smoke it on anything involving heavy integer calculations especially 16-bit or 32-bit integers or anything involving longer words.

So as games got more complex, and clock rates higher, a 68k would definitely outperform.

The 6502 is very cycle efficient and its ridiculously small register makes it fast to respond to interrupts, which I guess in a game machine is a good thing. But machines like the Amiga, Sharp X68000, and lots of arcade games packed in a bunch of custom video hardware too.
Just out of curiosity: what are your thoughts on Unions, the epitome of "employer hosted employee activism"?

Of course management is going to be least tolerant of things that represent financial risk to them, and there's nothing more financially risky than employees realizing where all the excess profits go...
I don't think it's the semantics that matter. It's the use case. If you rely on a library with a non-permissive license (ala, something tighter than MIT), then you are restricted (aka, not free) to use it in those cases, like commercialization in the case of the mentioned licenses.

This is a Very Bad Thing because it keeps really good software from making it into commercial use over fear of the restrictions in the license. (APGL bans are great example.)
Leaving Australia is currently very difficult for Australians in Australia even if they reside abroad. But if one could leave, where should they go to?
For everyone who is against this change, can you please write up why?

For a ton of small companies (anyone making $10 million or less per year) nothing is going to change and DD is still free to use.

If you're at a big organization with let's say 200 developers chances are your company makes hundreds of millions of dollars a year. Even Docker's most expensive business plan would cost you 200 * $21 = $4,200 month.

Payroll for your 200 developers will likely be over 3 million dollars a month. How can you be upset with paying 4k a month? That's almost nothing relative to other expenses.

Realistically I'm surprised Docker is charging so little for their business plan. Making 4k on 200 developers at a 300 million+ company is not asking a lot.
Another point of genius is right after the above section on exception debt.

It was in that era of my career that I came to view management as, at its core, a moral profession. We have the opportunity to create an environment for those around us to be their best, in fair surroundings. For me, that’s both an opportunity and an obligation for managers, and saying no in that room with my manager and CTO was, in part, my decision to hold the line on what’s right.

i wonder how long until they can match average default human hearing? and if it would in principle be possible to exceed it. i suppose that would depend on if the bottleneck is the sensitivity of the cochlear nerve of the sensitivity of the peripheral auditory system.
If we were to exceed human hearing would people then get implants without a medical need?
I don't think I'm lucky, but there is definitely a cost. The cost is that I'm a fucking asshole about my nonstick pots and pans. I keep my stash separate from the rest of the family, I get grumpy if I catch anyone using it, and god forbid anyone scratches my shit.

I buy separate stuff for my kids, and my wife has her own favorite pan.

Of course there's no need to be an asshole like me. But I think it's eminently doable for everyone. I do believe keeping the temperature down is key to longevity, especially for cheaper cookware with simpler two-layer nonstick coating systems. I have a lot of these too, and I just avoid going over 300 deg F or so. No problems so far.
I'm as torn as some of the other commenters here as Go can feel stifling to me frequently, but I have to say I find Go's readability comes with a culture of reading the source, which can be powerful. Often if I'm using a Go tool and I have questions about exactly what it's doing under the hood, unlike other languages where I have to learn the localized style/conventions/patterns (are you using annotations? Dependency Injection? Thread pools or async?), I can just pop open the source and read it. That doesn't necessarily mean I'll _understand_ what I'm reading easily but it does let me pick up subtleties under the hood.

Hashicorp's tools are great examples; before you could find endless posts online about using their tools I'd often dive into portions of Consul or Nomad with questions. Both of these are complicated pieces of software and being able to read the source helped a lot. On the other hand, trying to debug Werkzeug and Flask in Python is a nightmare of objects inheriting weird properties and all sorts of control flow weirdness, despite Flask ostensibly being a lightweight web framework.
Seems to be related to an AWS outage though.
granted we are in a very different place today in terms of warfare technology, history has shown that firing back is what has shaped the world we live in today.
>So in terms of the framing of "market abuse", at what point between the launch of these rules and now did Apple cross that threshold between free-market competitor who can legally control their own platform to monopolist abusing its power?

When Apple launched Apple Pay (in 2014, not that long ago), its App Store rules turned from dubious to outright market abuse by using one market where it had a strong position to infiltrate another very different market of payment processing (there are other issues, but this story is about payment processors).

By the way, 'monopoly' has little to do with it. It's about market power, monopoly is an nigh irrelevant term to the issue.
Thanks for the update! It's refreshing to see more turnkey GUI competitors in this space coming from larger corporate names.
Docker Desktop is the only way to run Docker "natively" on Windows and MacOS (I say "natively" because it's really using a linux VM behind the scenes.)

That's super interesting, thanks for sharing. I grew up in a very musical household and absorbed a lot from being around that all the time. One thing I noticed is that it was always people who didn't really put any time into music that would talk about perfect pitch as if it was some kind of genetic gift, and it never really squared with the reality that I perceived. Think tiger parents who want to brag about how their kids have perfect pitch or something. On the other hand, people who played very well really don't even mention it, because it's just something you pick up over time. Maybe it's not 100% accurate but yeah you get pretty close when you do music stuff all the time.

Basically two camps of people. The "perfect pitch" people who were obsessed with the prestige of it, and then the people who just do a lot of music, who don't really make a fuss over it.

In general, I would say that people who don't really do music are always the ones who dramatically over emphasize innate musical talent, at a technical level, but they're almost always the least qualified people to make those assessments. The truth is there is such thing as a knack for music, but it doesn't really make all that much of a difference in the end, after practice. Much more important are sort of qualitative things that are hard too develop, like good taste. If anything, the real "gift" is simply enjoying to make music. When you have that, improving isn't hard because it's fun, and you can do it in whatever aspect you please.

And yeah, the part in the article about the timbre of the piano is 100% spot on. I think that plays a huge role in like the character of the sound.
I wouldn't expect an employer to host the union communication channels.

Edit: My bad I had a terrible typo in my original post where it said 'employee hosted' and not 'employer' as I intended.

I think the folks working towards that stuff would be much better served to have their own slack disconnected from the employer's systems.
Then I'll find the fork and use that. We have already done that a few times. There is a reason we audit all the licenses of open source software we have.
> Then there would be two NFTs with the exact same "proof" in them. Which is the real one?

The one that came first. Are you really that invested in claiming knowledge on this subject? If so, how could you not immediately grok that this would be the answer?

> For example, that contract could be nullified or invalidated by a court opinion

Or it could be not. In which case, it would be embedding proof. Your argument hinges on the idea that something is impossible yet requires special circumstances to make it so, while my argument is that something is possible and gives an imaginable scenario for it.
All my friends are child free and dead set on remaining that way. None of look out at the state of affairs and think "oh yeah, let's bring more life in to this"

I used on in Japan years ago and had to wait about 5 years before they showed up in Australia at a reasonable price. Not worth replacing a perfectly good iron with, but if you accidently melt the cord to your current iron it's worth considering.

It is definitely easier not having to worry about the cord tangling or pulling at your clothes.
Sure, I get the hostage situation perspective so I am obviously not framing my interaction in any sense as a threat or as though I have leverage.

I think my question is whether it's reasonable for them to expect me to hand over information that amounts to work and to do so pro bono.
>The actual body seems similar to the FISA court in the US.

This is your daily reminder that FISA was originally created as a way to provide oversight for intelligence agencies after things like MK Ultra and COINTELPRO. Instead it became a rubber stamp legitimizing their actions.
> Are there similar improvements in household appliances like irons?

I bought a new washer/dryer recently. A bunch of bells and whistles, but... the "autosense the water level" feature is awesome, and likely saves water in the long run.

It seems like washers use so much less water these days, its not like the old agitator models from 2000s which filled up a tank. Instead, modern washers thoroughly wet the clothes, add a bit of extra water at the bottom, and then mix vigorously (be it a front-load or top load, the HE washers all do this technique).

This leads to lower water usage. I also ended up using much less soap per load (the first few times, I noticed the soap wasn't fully getting rinsed out, but the significantly less water usage means I also should use significantly less soap).

> Where would one look for an industry overview?

At least for generic household appliances, Consumer Reports is a non-profit survey / reviewer group. I dunno if they have much on irons themselves, but I haven't seen anything wrong with their reviews yet.

I think there's a problem when the price goes too low. For something like $20, $50, or even $200 or $1000 appliances even... its not really worthwhile to review. Instead, you often have to just buy the thing and hope for the best.

Maybe there's a specific professional group who is thinking about these tools and how to use them (chefs and cooking tools, or woodworkers + woodworking tools). But for things like irons or washers, or other household appliances... I don't think any such group exists outside of things like Consumer Reports.

Still, I get my reviews on "Tide vs Persil", and other household items. I think "Wirecutter" is a competitor and some people say they've got good reviews too.

In any case, Consumer Report's page on steam irons is here: https://www.consumerreports.org/products/steam-irons-28981/s...
Those savings could be wiped out from a security breach by a remote worker. Compliance will be much harder with remote work, and I don't think that's priced in yet since the trend is so recent.

And don't be soft about it like "maybe I can get a lawyer?" ... say "I have a right to a lawyer and will not answer anything without first speaking to my lawyer"

People might be thinking "I thought it was the 5th ?" Ironically , the same conservatives that have been trumpeting the 2nd have concurrently been undermining the 5th and now can be used against you as evidence of guilt.
