Australia has an outbreak right now. New Zealand is currently around the 10-20/day cases mark contained to their largest city which remains in hard lockdown. The rest of the country has eased restrictions. The delta variant has proven

I think we have to be careful because those laws can be wielded by dickheads. See: every abuse of power. That's a fallacy in itself, however I think there's definitely some merit to both sides here.

How big is your organisation? I know it shouldn’t matter but your CS person would likely have reached out if they’re anything like Amazon, Microsoft, Salesforce, etc. I’ve always found government, sensitive customers (banks, payment process

It hasn't been that way for years. You can generate and share invite links now. The idea that you had to set up custom software to do those invites only existed for a period of about 18 months when they were trying to foster organic gr

I'd buy. Unless chat is core to the functionality of what you're building, why would you re-invent the wheel?

I think what you're seeing is everyone previously investing in stocks, business, etc. are now going all-in on property. Mum and Dad are pulling their supers and investments and gifting it to their kids for their first home. It is entir

Yes. They sold their last house for $1.4M. They bought it for $400K 12 years ago. They've never had a job that earned them more than $100K. They have just bought something else for $1.5M which needs $200K spent to get it to how they wa

Yeah all you need now is an IRD number, a NZ bank account or a corporation. All 3 you can setup without setting foot in the country. To those that say that's not possible, it very much is. There's little checks and balances, and C

Family just missed out on a $1.6M art-deco 3 BR in Mangere Bridge. They were sad about it. It's fucked.

Weird, it was the opposite for me. Went from 60 hours in consultancies and low tier to 30ish at FAANGish. Remote probably helped with COVID, but the output is consistent.

The best thing about Stripe was they made payment processors move. By showing them what good looks like, by showing them there's value in creating an easier, modern platform - their competitors are missing out on a massive market of SM

Wait, is this like ML models but instead of generating the models by repeating inputs to get a “best guess” engine, you put in the intended outcome and it.. Magically has an engine?

The software side, they’re so far ahead it’s ridiculous. Google couldn’t put out a watch to match the generation 3 Apple Watch today. They probably couldn’t even do that in 2-3 years. Same goes for Microsoft’s and Amazon.
