Which is why there is the general rule of zero trust in networks.

Exactly. Hence I started with the trillion dollar mistake comment, it costs a truck load of money to get any changes for development with no security benefit in this context. I could feed businesses bad data and no network dictatorship can stop that.

I know exactly want I am talking about. What happened to Optus happens to me all the time when developing custom software for Australian businesses. Sys-admin is all outsourced to a huge Indian conglomerates who have no clear idea about the scope of the network and no incentive to know it. Consistently claim a ticket is completed when it has not been and repeat 5-6 times before they blame the software, repeat until I have a full Phd thesis of evidence demonstrating it is a sys-admin issue.

In the end it is all security theater because I write the software and could screw up the whole business if I wanted to be malicious.

They are managing weapon of mass destruction.

Then Albo needs to get the ADF to drone strike sysadmins who block icmp. Make the world great again!

And I bet it will be some poor engineer who going to be blamed for the fault.

Australia has fairly decent democratic system. If plebs are tired of being blamed then they should stop voting for corporate boot licking politicians.

If null references are a billion dollar mistake, firewalls are a trillion dollar mistake. It is a tool of oppression by despots. Each route needing an offering of fealty for passage.

I am not exaggerating when it has taken 6 months to get some simple firewall rules updated to activate a new internal service. Blew my mind! Some of these system admins are nuts with how much everything is locked down, complete masochists watching people struggling to get software to communicate over the network they control.

Nah, instead the guy should never have to work again, if they don't want to. Need a MP sized lifelong pension. People need real rewards for extraordinary feats that serve the country.

Instead of the word moderate use sane instead.... what a coincidence you did use sane.

I hope the liberal party do it and destroy the party. Just not looking forward to the media both siding the "debate" again like in the 2000's and bring back Malcolm Roberts into the spotlight. It really does feel humanity is cooked figuratively and literally.

That is why I added the "or more" as I thought there to be more but wasn't motivated to look it up.

As for the contempt I as referring to Paul not yourself. I prefer less hierarchy not more so I agree with the concept of not having a senate but acknowledge it seems to be working mostly fine at the moment.

I watch that constitution professor from time to time because you posted her channel so time ago, thanks for that.

I hold a similiar position without the contempt. To many layers of government with things like States being a concept of a distance past. With modern communication, the need for geographic divisions is unnessary. I have 5 or more members who represent me geographically(council,state lower, state upper, federal lower, federal upper) that is too many.

Also I don't have high opinion of Keating either, just another neo-liberal who made life harder for the generations after boomers.

Many years ago I rented another place that I lived in during the weekdays because of WORK, work that only paid close to minimum wage and couldn't claim it as an expense. I was shocked but if I was a company I could have.

If you are not a company you are a second class citizen.

And so what are labor going to do about it? It will be likely close to a decade of labor being in power and at the half way mark they have done absolutely nothing in the backdrop of world wide discontent. I have no doubt Alabnese is going down in history as one of the most useless PM's in history.

they just feel anything that outrages them is important

Interesting distinction. Do you have any further reading on this? I am not on any social media, thus I have no real world experience with doom/outrage scrolling, so I cannot make judgement about the plausibility of the statement.

There was a time just before big tech where consensus was humans where causing global warming due to burning fossil fuels. This was undermined in less than a decade by journalists and the biggest companies back then; Fossil fuel companies.

Journalists are not the truth seeking warrior class they claim themselves to be. The population by large wants to be outraged, didn't need algorithms to tell us, just read historical news. So journalists need to be regulated but covid showed they would rather burn the world to the ground than be restricted in anyway for a greater good.
