I was the first in my family to have the opportunity to go to university. But the Morrison Government's increases to uni fees will rob many young Australians of the same chance. Sign our petition against the Liberals’ unfair changes to our unis: mattthistlethwaite.com.au/ac…

This is exactly why contact tracing should not collect location data: even with local DP, you’d then have to solve an impossible utility/privacy trade off. Better to avoid the trade off by not collecting locations at all, have both privacy and public health utility
The tragedy of this (not) location-hiding picture is that the problem is a textbook example of what local Differential Privacy would solve (right @bipr?). Then we'd get rigorous guarantees for an appropriately parameterised algorithm that re-id was hard. @chrisculnane

The most important point to understand about contact tracing and privacy is, despite your intuitions, that tracing can be done without storing where you’ve been. This is the essence of Google/Apple’s approach (and many other recent proposals)

Update here is that there is a new fact sheet has been released. Advice is that startups will qualify as ‘newly established’ and high growth scale ups will qualify as having ‘highly variable’ turnover treasury.gov.au/sites/defaul… – at Sydney, New South Wales
Lots of you are asking about whether the eligibility for JobKeeper payments is based on a 30% reduction in revenue compared with pre-COVID months, or compared with the same month in the previous year. There is some confusion, which we are trying to clear up. Details (thread):

Managing risk is one of the most misunderstood concepts in the world. Risk averse people constantly make decisions that they think minimise risk without fully assimilating the risks they have assumed. Bias for inaction is the most frequent bias that often increases risk.

Tesla doesn’t claim AutoPilot is anything but L2. The collisions making the news are because AutoPilot is using standard low resolution automotive radar which filters out fixed objects. Totally solvable with the cameras in their cars today.

Global warming is a global problem, produced by global behavior, and the suffering of any individual nation is, ultimately, a reflection of global malpractice, villainy, and indifference.
