If you get arrested in NZ they can search your phone and impeding them is impeding a search. As far as I know the courts haven't intepreted the right to not self incriminate as extending to passwords, so the difference in the article is immaterial.

They can charge you for refusal and I'm pretty sure they have access to a bypass tool.

I'm not a legal expert but as far as I know if the police are arresting you they can compel this in New Zealand. There is no difference in unlock methods. People get charges for not complying.

This page seems to back this up but it is old.

Yeah nah, country of origin is important.

To people interested in the environment the phrase "Indonesian coal" tells us two things really quickly.

Firstly, that it comes from an industry that's deforesting, killing orangutans etc. The Indonesian mining sector is open cast, meaning they tear up the rainforest to get at the coal. Obviously you can't remediate that, not that they try hard, and it pollutes, causes flooding, and destroys livelihoods as well.

Secondly, Indonesia's coal is sub-bituminous. That's a crappy low grade kind of coal that releases way more greenhouse gasses than high grade coal.

Edit: Shane Jones might well be trying to use racist overtones like you and @Dave@lemmy.nz said, I'm just saying calling it "Indonesian coal" isn't inherently race whistling.

Makes sense. Back when I worked in a workplace we were never told about stuff like that. Security knew though.

This is so messed up.

Maybe it was the brain tumour, that poor person! The crystals usually get dislodged in just a few iterations (sometimes 1), it's not like building up muscles. As far as I know.

Heh in the context of this conversation I thought you were casually admitting to being a burglar for a second then... why do you turn up at buildings, is it a work thing?

I hope they remove your stress too! I think there's an adjustment period but hopefully it will be fast. People underestimate the amount of social isolation that comes with hearing loss.

Yeah it would have been fine back in the day, when there was housing for everyone.

It's amazing how well that can work.

You'd think though in a building with as many rare/valuable artifacts as Te Papa... I mean, abseiling?? Then again I'm pretty sure one of the universities had people with clipboards load a ton of computers onto a truck and drive away, a few years ago.

In both cases, wouldn't suprise me if there was an insider.

I can't imagine how, unless you only had 20 of them or something?

Back when I was a TA, I had an average of 120 students per semester and we didn't necessarily grade our own students' work (it was usually divided by topic).

So if I'm grading 120 assignments - or worse, 480 pieces of exam assessment- and only 25% of them are from students I regularly interact with, I don't think my subconscious has any idea 99% of the time.

Even with smaller classes... you're just seeing too many people with similar thoughts and styles over the course of a year for any of it to imprint on your mind that deeply. Occasionally it's going to be obvious, but I still think removing a level of bias through anonymizing is best practice.
