Probably someone at ASD called the kid responsible at home and had a polite and friendly chat. Might have told him to make his bed, clean up his room and throw out his cumsock while they were at it.

ASD and ASIO have despised Singtel since they bought out C&W in the late 90's and want them out of the country. This whole media fiasco is a blessing for everyone. Might be able to finally cancel their carrier licence.

Optus was already subject to a enforceable undertaking for a previous breach. They were supposed to uplift their security, but they did the bare minimum required by the judge. The bare minimum in this case was to apply automatic patches to the production systems only. They ran the update tools on end-of-life products -- which does nothing -- and then marked them as done. Non-production systems were specifically excluded from updates because they weren't mentioned in the court order.

This breach happened through a non-production system. Shock. Surprise.

I own a Cosmo. The keyboard is great. The software is atrocious, and Linux support can be best described as "it exists", last I tried it. From what I heard, Linux on Gemini is even worse, and there are no expectations for things to improve there.

On top of it, heavy users have discovered that the build quality isn't great, either - lots of complaints about broken screen cables etc.
That's disanalogous, because:

- children won't be smarter than any living human.

- children have a human brain which makes them predictable (constrained in behavior by current laws, institutions, and most likely a conscience).

A better analogy is to ask what happens when a species branches off and evolves into a smarter species, but the dumber ancestor species still exists.

I really don't understand the perspective that people in your position take. Is it that you don't think we'll arrive at super intelligent AI, and therefore there's little risk? Or that we will be able to control it? If you think we can control it, why? Like we're not that much smarter than our monkey ancestors and what hope did they ever have of stopping our absolute domination over them? And then all of you call this opinion a "religion" without even explaining why it's wrong?

> I'd guess it's less than 1%, but that's just a hunch.

The folk on HN think they are the 1%. The whole scheme depends on a majority of coworkers being under-informed & not negotiating resulting in a lower floor, hence employees greenlighting the odd negotiator. Transparency will raise the salary floor,and this is not great for self-confessed master negotiators.
It's better to assume that the data page of a passport is public information. There are far too many places in the world where storing a copy of the information (at least for foreign visitors) is a legal requirement.

Also, high-resolution scans of passports are not a new thing. They were already pretty common in the late 2000s. The biggest change from then is that hotel employees are now more likely to be comfortable with electronic documents than paper copies.

> Y'know that's really funny.I often refer to the way lambdas only capture final variables as an example of the absolute brilliance of Java's language design.

This was done not for any principled reason at all: but rather because real closures would require heap allocation, and early users were spooked that heap allocation would be too slow. Otherwise Guy Steele (of Scheme and CL fame) would have definitely inserted them. He supposed that one day Java would fix this.

What is a Stave Church? (2019)
That's interesting, but there's actually this other philosopher who published a very similar idea sometime around ~1921? I can't remember his reasoning(something about the world being a collection of facts) but I've heard that his thesis actually entirely rejected continental philosophy on similar claims to your own and singlehandedly began the shift towards the analytic philosophy that you seem to be so partial to. I think his name sounded similar to Wittingstein?

Hypnerotomachia Poliphili and the Architecture of Dreams
You don’t need everything but you can curate anything.

My neighbor has a collection of 12 years of city council meetings collected, for example.
I've been working on a programming language / interpreter, and I'd guess that in the beginning it was probably just easier to implement len() and other such common / generic functions this way.

You can either implement a single function that handles the various types or you can add a method to each type, but the latter can be pretty tedious when you're implementing a bunch of functions / methods that operate on numerous types.

I ran into this when I started implementing map() for a few builtin types and found myself duplicating the loop-over-items code and started thinking, "Hmm, I wonder if this is why Python implemented len(), map(), etc as functions instead of methods."

Of course, you could implement an abstract class or equivalent for the generic aspects of len(), map(), etc, but then that gets pretty complex too.

So, based on that, which to reiterate is just a guess, I don't think the decision is bizarre at all. It's just an implementation tradeoff.

From a developer point of view, I slightly prefer method syntax for aesthetic reasons, but practically speaking it doesn't make any difference whether I type obj.len() or len(obj), and IMO neither is more or less object-oriented than the other (which is a common complaint about len() et al).
I like the fact that the Greens are finally considering nuclear. One other option is geothermal. Most areas of the United States can reach geothermal by drilling 300-800 feet down. Using traditional drilling techniques this is not economically feasible. But there's a company using MIT research to drill using what's called millimeter waves to blast through the rock. The company commercializing the MIT research is called https://www.quaise.energy/

Quaise Energy doesn't sell drilling equipment but instead they sell the end product of steam. They plan on locating next to say a coal plant and then feeding steam to the plants turbines. The company raised a $52 million dollar Series A this summer.

https://news.mit.edu/2022/quaise-energy-geothermal-0628

The only negative from this type of drilling is localized small earthquakes similar to those created from fracking. So there will be opponents, but nowhere near the number of nuclear critics. There should also be a much quicker (and cheaper) approval process than nuclear.
Unfortunate NACTO (which is considered LESS shitty for bikes/pedestrians than AASHTO, whose road design guidelines are used in more places in the US) actually recommends these things: https://nacto.org/publication/urban-bikeway-design-guide/int...

User can be alerted to SSD device errors by the simulated sounds of a hard drive head crash.
Note that many countries, including Singapore, are in the list: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unfriendly_Countries_List

Quoting from there: Debtors from countries on the list who sought to receive payments on the debt were required to open a special bank account at a Russian bank to receive payments in Russia's currency, rubles, rather than another international currency.[10] In addition, all new corporate deals between Russian companies and entities in countries on the Unfriendly Countries List had to seek approval from a government commission.[10]

Also opening a bank account in Turkey won't help, because payments from MIR are blocked there too since this week. You can still receive cash money from travelers, since March 2, 2022, there is a decree of Russian President Vladimir Putin, which prohibits taking abroad cash currency worth more than 10 thousand U.S. dollars per person.
Crashes have a number of factors that lead up to one. When the NTSB investigates an aircraft incident, they look into the actions or lack thereof that lead up to the incident and issue recommendations based on what their investigation finds. They don't look for fault, but they look into what could be done to prevent it from happening again.

Could we not do something similar here? What lead up to the crash? Is there a police report that describes the events leading up to the crash in more detail? What about witness statements or video recordings that may have captured the events leading up to the crash or the crash itself.
Do you use the API?
> If they saved $800k per year, and they have to hire four additional ops engineers to run it at a cost of $400k per year,

I guess you've never done it yourself?

I'm not sure what those 4 engineers would be doing. You purchase a few servers with 5 year on site warranty and remote management, you take a couple of days to install them in some racks, and you never visit the site for 5 years. If they break, the manufacturer sends someone to fix them on site. The rest of the time you administer them remotely - just like you would AWS. If you want VM's install proxmox.

Whether it's cheaper than renting bare metal in a data centre is an debatable - colo costs a small fortune where I live.

But they aren't comparing it to that. They are comparing it to locking themselves into a closed source system that need specialised expertise to run, versus administering an open source Linux system that even the people running EC2 should be very familiar with. Most of the stuff AWS provides has open source counterparts - hell a whole pile of it is just open source they wrap a proprietary API around and charge you for.

10 times sounds like a lot, I'm guessing it's really less. Even so I come form the camp that shakes his head in disbelief at what people will pay AWS for basic VM and storage services, dressed up in a fancy API and marketing.

It’s time for Congress to bring back ‘Defense Valley’
I just assumed it was Three Letter Acronym.
Silicon Valley’s earliest focus was on pioneering defense technology, and Congress must reinvigorate this partnership to meet 21st-century challenges. To this end, I propose three areas of focus for the 118th Congress to rebuild a “Defense Valley” that supports and promotes innovation to advance our national defense.

What is your estimate of the probability that human intelligence is actually anywhere near the upper limit, rather than some point way further down the S-curve where seemingly exponential growth can still go for a long time?

I'd bet a ton that we're nowhere near the top: evolution almost never comes up with the optimal solution for any problem, almost by definition it stops at "meh, good enough to reproduce". And you don't need a ton of intelligence to reproduce.

Evolution's sub-optimality is actually one of the strongest arguments against intelligent design, so I'm really hesitant to agree that it requires any sort of leap to estimate that with some actual design it won't be very difficult to blow way past human intelligence once we can get there.
(Does it violate some HN etiquette to submit and then first comment as well?)

Anyway, posted this, because I mostly disagree with it. The workplace has changed a lot in my 30 years of participation. Where resources get allocated and what titles get used, how the power dynamics work, is all an ever evolving shifting equation. Often, as things change we hear a crowd say "it's inevitable, that's the game of (work) life." Change or be changed. When that same automation gimmick turns on the unintended though, it's suddenly an evocation to be kind and have mercy.

I mostly don't understand this management game. We raise our kids to be self sufficient independent adults. It's hard to let them go, but the biggest satisfaction I've had as a parent of four is seeing them blossom on their own, even if it doesn't always maximize the wisdom and counsel I have to offer them. And yet what happens as soon as they hit the work place?

"Hi my name is Joe. I'm your middle manager. I was promoted here because of any number of reasons. It's unclear what I'm to do here, but they pay me more and give me more responsibility/stress. I don't really know how to do whatever this is... so since I'm likely your senior in age, let's revert to the relationship you know best: I'll be the parent, and you be the child."

Are there important functions that these "management" positions need to fulfill? Yes. We need mentors. We need evangelists. And risk takers, and champions. We need secretaries and clerks. People who do logistics. On and on. But for forking sake, call those people that. We can even pay them as much/more than the engineers/doers/developers/builders. Just can we please ditch the parent-child setup known as middle management?

Sorry if automation is rendering your current meaning in need of a refresh.
> … in Thai, for example, the syllable NA is written นา with น and า treated as separate characters, while in Devanagari, NA is written ना where न is the N sound and the A sound ा is a spacing mark which changes the shape and spacing of the first letter to give ना.

Worth noting that «-a» is often implied and both, Thai and Devanagari (and in nearly all other Brahmi and Pali derived scripts), and is implicitely derived by the language speaker, and therefore is dropped from the spelling most of the time except for specific cases.
This is a straight up case of negligence, just via a different means and with different damage from usual. The only impediment to suing is the cost of doing so vs the damage suffered, which is still too high for the average person.

The usual way around this is via a class action, and there are already at least 2 being prepared that I know of. They will run and probably settle at some point. The main thing to be policed is to avoid the funders and solicitors taking too much of the proceeds, although that process is already in hand due to recent abuses.
15 minute delay doesn’t seem sufficient in a classical game. Spending 15 minutes on one crucial move is common and wouldn’t raise suspicion.

Give a little squeeze at the start of your turn, to indicate that you wish to request the next engine move, then sit there for 15 minutes appearing deep in thought until the answer is beamed to your behind.

Alternatively the device could stream all the moves with the move number encoded, so it could be entirely unidirectional and you wouldn’t need an input method. Just wait 15 minutes for the next move.
It's not a race when you arm both sides, as cloudflare did by hosting known abusers for years, working hard to shield them from the consequences of their actions.
But it is a very American approach.
It doesn't even do that. It restricts what kind of laws congress can create, not the reasoning congressmen use when choosing which laws to support.

Completely secular and constitutional laws may be enacted by congressmen that have religious reasons to support that law; e.g. religious legislator may vote for a law against murder because murder is against their religion. The first amendment doesn't regulate the thoughts and reasoning of legislators; religious reasoning for secular laws are fine.

And conversely, secular reasoning for religious laws doesn't make the law okay; a cynical atheist might say that religion is necessary for controlling the unwashed masses, but despite that secular reasoning, a law mandating a religion would still plainly violate the first amendment.

The same people screamed when Apple did it.

“This ruins ad blockers”, “this is so they don’t have to make REAL ad blockers work”, “they want a 30% cut of VPN money instead”, “this will cause cancer”.

OK, not the last one. But people literally posted here on HN that Apple was killing people by not letting Flux on the iPhone.

Considering how much information “normal“ ad blockers can see, I’m not against this. I like Apple’s approach (and understand this to be similar).

But obviously I’m in the minority.
It's very bizarre that your response is nothing more than a complete deflection - "what about Apple?!", but then you go on to accuse others of being reductionist and lacking honesty.

Driving culture is pretty bad here. Get out into very rural areas, and drinking and driving can be frighteningly common.

Also, as is in the article, the punishment for speeding tends to be a slap on the wrist by way of a comparatively small fine. You'd need to be going at least 20 miles an hour over the speed limit before you're in real trouble.

That said, the numbers are still small enough that the average person doesn't really care about it come election day- not in comparison to other issues. And that's if they even care about local elections at all- these are issues handled at the state level, which makes a very tiny percentage of the population who is even remotely interested in.
> One major issue is there aren’t enough places for these vehicles to take off and land.

As someone into gridfinity the selling point for me is less of the general purpose storage , that as you point out has cheap and durable solutions available, but the ability to be tailored to quick access to specific tools. A good example of this is the original creator of gridfinity made a workstation for his dremel and all of its bits that can be popped out to go work on a project and then popped right back into its home.
