It’s my great pleasure to be in our CSSA committee and got the opportunity to work with other amazing people to organise and facilitate this tech trip. Here's (part of) our committee! Special shout-out to the Industry Rep/Upcoming President Matthew Chen for his effort!

Just wrapped up a fantastic day with a tech trip to Sydney. First time in the past few years, @anucssa brought the trip back and this time we visited @googledownunder, @AkunaCapital, and @Atlassian. We took an amazing group photo at Google!

And of course, the best part of the Yarralumla shops

For years I've been trying to get any proctoring company to agree to a study where I try to cheat. None have agreed. I've had legal advice not to do such a study without permission from the vendors.
I'm delighted to share that someone else has done one: https://t.co/VGN5dw7Mtc

If you can't make it in person, it should also be live-streamed on our Discord - https://t.co/SqCBBdI2WL if you're not in there already :)

ah well

Market Day (Wed 27th July, 9AM–4PM)

Come sign up for a 2022 membership, or just say hi!

We have LOTS of stuff lined up for later this semester, but I'll dump those a little later.

Enjoy Bush Week!

(fin)

[ANU CSSA @anucssa]

Welcome (back) for Semester 2, everyone! Wherever you're at and whatever your plans are, hope you all get off to a good start.

We've got a bunch of events lined up for this sem!

[ANU CSSA @anucssa]

The theme is social entrepreneurship, but feel free to make whatever you want or just hang out!

Here's a list of project ideas: https://t.co/JNp1zLftll

If you have any cool ideas or want some advice on where to start, just reach out on the day!

[ANU CSSA @anucssa]

Again, without seeing what the final deployment will look like, we (frustratingly) can't be sure about anything, but Cipherise's publicly available demos feature the notoriously inaccessible randomly rearranging keypad, among other "brilliant innovations".

[ANU CSSA @anucssa]

This has been the word on the street for a long time, but with a public announcement like this they must be getting close to rollout...

Sounds like there's still no good plan for non-mainstream devices, not always having a phone with you, OR older devices without biometrics.

Experience with the Proctorio saga shows that "don't worry, we'll figure out a solution for <people in X situation>" is never promising, especially when they're still yet to come up with said solution a year later.
