You would think so, but no, you don't! Typically it's just the passport number, or if the AML counterparty is feeling really ambitious, the number and the expiry date

> Traditionally, new developers cut their teeth on small, repetitive tasks – fixing simple bugs, writing unit tests, churning through minor feature tweaks. These tasks were mundane but crucial for skill-building. Now, a lot of that grunt work can be handled by generative AI.

To me, this is the salient point. There are more juniors coming through now who aren't learning the fundamentals, because there is a ready shortcut around the mundane tedious work. Which means they're trying to move onto higher value, higher risk areas without understanding the foundations

They're never going to change this, it's the reason NFL franchises have such massively inflated valuations. Same w/ basketball + IPL franchises, very little downside risk to the earning power of the franchise.

I'm sure if it was really that much of an unmet need, Apple would be jumping out of their skin to go and build it and thus rake in the billions of unrealised revenue that must be out there

But they're not, so I'm continue to assume they know what they're doing. Again, go buy an Android if that's what you want

> You don't ever have to leave the Apple App Store, but your preference has no right to enforce an artificial limitation onto other users.

So... just buy an Android? This is not an artificial limitation, it's an express preference that the vast majority of iOS users have voted for.

> The Mac as a product would not exist without third-party software distribution

The Mac is a completely different product servicing a completely different set of needs. Nobody is asking for the iPhone to be able to run Node or Vim so they can do their work, they want to scroll Instagram and reply to their iMessage

No? Entities don't get to write off the cost of being audited, there's a very real expense associated with both documenting the regulated process in a compliant manner and working through the audit process with the relevant regulatory body.

I think it is, definitely. Have recently upgraded and it's immediately noticeable from the old Intel-based Macs.

Much improved compute speed + battery life, barely noticeable battery drain. I'm a very happy customer.

Ah sorry - corporatised rather than privatised. Not subsidised by the govt in any way.

AusPost is semi-private though

Based on my (very) subjective experience, a lot of the noise around the Voice + Invasion Day is being created by people with extremely tenuous links to indigenous heritage - which I think is maybe shifting away from what could be much more positive outcomes for truly marginalised Aboriginals.

Would assume you're of or closely affiliated with Aboriginal heritage given the phrasing. My assessment of this is that if this were to become part of the established history of indigenous Australians, quite a bit of the narrative around 'ownership' changes dramatically.

Suggest you look at most popular mastheads in Australia, in particular the state funded broadcaster to see the phenomenon play out in reality.

Sure, let's change it to that. Does talking about "Christian fundamentalists" make you more comfortable than talking about "Native Americans"?

How would you test for bias more effectively?
