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.


> 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


Both your statements are just arbitrary You are not representative of all iPhone users.


Plenty of people are asking for that, actually. I suggest you look through the App Store for developer tools and report back what you find.


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're sure that the company of "a thousand nos for every yes" is going to go out and make every single thing that people might possibly want?


No... which is why they've been such a great company for so long.


The point is that they offload a lot of the things to third parties.


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.


Entirely fair point.


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.


It’s impressive moving from an x86 Mac. From an x86 Windows, it’s mind-blowing.


AusPost is semi-private though


It is? I thought it was owned by the Australian Government, similar to the ABC or the Australian Rail Track Corporation.

Australia Post is wholly owned by the Australian Government represented by two Shareholder Ministers, the Minister for Finance and the Minister for Communications, Urban Infrastructure, Cities and the Arts.[1]

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


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.


I doubt it, either way they were here before Europeans who declared them non-human and assumed ownership of the landmass based on that declaration.


For the international audience, that UK assumption of "Terra Nullus" was knocked back and overturned by the Mabo decision of 1992:

    In Mabo v. Queensland (No. 2), judgments of the High Court inserted the legal doctrine of native title into Australian law.

    The High Court recognised the fact that Indigenous peoples had lived in Australia for thousands of years and enjoyed rights to their land according to their own laws and customs.

I'm sorry, did all Europeans declare them non-human? What a sweeping weak sauce generalization about an entire group of people.


Ahh, sweet gotcha you found there fella. I don't think I need to explain to you the difference between members of the British government declaring Australia Terra-Nulius (with approximately 0 outcry from their citizens) and some bozo deciding that all Indigenous Australians don't believe in science. If you cant see the difference it's only because you choose not to.


It doesn’t, though. It doesn’t matter if they’re genetically intermixed with Indians at some point in the last few thousand years. They were still here before White Australia was. And where I live, we still fought wars to eradicate the local mobs. We still stole children from them, not that long ago.


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