@brentspargo I haven’t tried Freshbooks. Just Saasu, since 2007. I couldn’t say, really. :(
Thanks for all the database / hashing / re-identification comments coming in. Reading all, can’t respond to all. Learning heaps.
I AM SO PLEASE TO SEE THAT AUSTRALIA’S 2016 CENSUS IS PROCEEDING PREFECTLY.
@jturner_ibrs And put on the blockchain. Because obviously. #needsmoreblockchain
I’m asking this ’cos I haven’t done any database work myself in ages. I don’t want to sound like a goose. (Yeah right.)
I agree with this comment, though you have to add in turning a dump back into a database. https://t.co/vwc14duI1r
Well here’s a tweet which shorn of its technical detail confirms my estimate of “minutes†for the merge. https://t.co/k1rWnfJRn6
@ozhank626 @dobes The Census is everyone physically in Australia that night. Adults and children. Citizens, residents, visitors. Homeless.
@jpwarren Thanks for that. There’s some more bedtime reading.
I just want to hear Soapy explain how one-way cryptographic hashes work.
Malsplaining the Census? Nah, people are threatened with fines. That’s a legal issue. We need Soapyslaining here. https://t.co/dMv3iiyxoZ
@dobes Well I know it’s trivial. I just want someone else to validate my “minutes†claim. But heck, it’s only 24 million records, right?

I’m basically asking that if someone managed to exfiltrate the Census database and the name linkage DB, how big a task is merging them?
@bmmsmum @hughriminton @dobes That’s not my reason for requesting a paper form. It’s removing the over-the-internet bit from the workflow.
Hey database performance folk, hashing 24 million name+DoB+X records, and finding the matching hash in another DB. How long? @troyhunt?
@bmmsmum @hughriminton @dobes “Separate database†can become “one database†by executing a few lines of program code and take just minutes.
@franksting @jplonie I’m a big fan of the singular “theyâ€.
@franksting @jplonie She.
@jdub We all were.
@bmmsmum @hughriminton @dobes Yes, and then the top of the form was tear-off. Now, IDs will be kept with data for 4 years, maybe longer.

vanOnselenP I would advise people NOT to cooperate with the privacy invading census, with all new privacy invasions, but doing so is illegal so I can’t.

@justanotheramy Happy to talk, and I do get where you’re coming from.
@justanotheramy I think you’re trying to read much more meaning into it than I ever intended. But it’s after 0900 and I need to move on.
@justanotheramy We’re stuck. I’m not discussing how the change happens, merely giving my opinion that the issue was been badly handled.
@justanotheramy That’s ’cos it’s not a call-to-action. It’s a look at just some of the tech and trust issues for a business tech masthead.
@justanotheramy I’ve already answered that question. If my answer isn’t fully-formed and specific enough for you, that’s where we’re at.
@justanotheramy I’m starting to think that the main problem here is really just that that my opinion doesn’t match yours.
@justanotheramy I’ve already answered that question. https://t.co/BgTS24n4eS
@justanotheramy Wait on here. It’s an opinion piece. Yes, I intend to persuade. That’s the point. But people still do get to choose.
@markzzzsmith I covered that in my yarn yesterday.
@justanotheramy That was my intent. That is my view. “Most of the privacy concerns are overblown,†I wrote in the dek.
@OaaSvc @Carcharos @trentyarwood I do get frustrated when people imagine “Them†or “the government†as some all-powerful monolith.
@OaaSvc @Carcharos @trentyarwood But still not a “everyoneâ€. There’s a LOT of edge cases, and they all add up.

@justanotheramy @zdnetaustralia You do get that I was just saying that *I* wouldn’t be boycotting it? People get to make their own choices.
@justanotheramy @zdnetaustralia Anything in the full spectrum of media / comms / lobbying / protest, whatever’s best for individuals.
@dsturnbull @zdnetaustralia It’s more that I was focusing in technical security issues and trust in a business tech masthead.
@justanotheramy @zdnetaustralia You say “you think it would change without any external pressure being appliedâ€, but I don’t think that.
@justanotheramy @zdnetaustralia Is that a serious question?
