In Australia we've gone back to normal entirely except for institutions that face public scrutiny if you go back too early (universities, government, some tech companies - the former just announced they'll start sending people bac

Yeah but on the flip side -- nothing beats Spotify recommendations. I've found so much new music - if you're a new artist no other platform would provide more value than Spotify for discovery. Now, if we're talking pay-the-re

It looks like everyone ships AirTag location data to Apple, I wonder what the privacy implications are for this.. AirTags on a stolen vehicle AirTags on a VIP Apple's data about AirTag logs - when was Apple device X next to AirTag Y..

I think it’s fair to write a post criticising systemic, terrible things like racism, abuse, toxic work culture. But this just reads like a shit deal in a tech company. To his point, others could have different experiences. So why write it a

If you're in Australia, I've submitted a case to ACCC. If you're an Australian reading this - do the same, you'll get your refund.

You have stamp duty and all sorts of other measures in place at a state level (looking at Land Tax in QLD) that at least generates revenue from this. New Zealand has none of these, and as a result property flipping is rampant - the turnover

We've been saying that for 15 years though.. Sure the interest rates are rock-bottom right now but still most of our countries main investment is property. Until there's legislation to control rent or tax land, I think we're

True, my views are non-American. For example when I go to a convenience store, I pay the price listed on the item. I don't have to do math in my head that's +x% sales or state tax. That type of practice just isn't acceptable

It's only clear in 1 of the pictures I shared. That is on the "Plans and Details" page. It's "clear enough" in the other. That is on the Buy Now page. The price is listed as annualized and the REAL monthly pric

Yes, it's very confusing. They're both regularly interchangeable. In my opinion the sequence diagrams generated from these tools are easier to follow, but in practice swimlane diagrams "do the job" and are much easier to

Here in Australia you need to list the minimum contract term too. So if you're listing for $x/mo but require 1 year lease - the listing will say 1 year lease (unless it's been data-scraped by a Real Estate website and reliste

This is disingenuous at best, and fraudulent at worst - and I know ACCC in Australia will take a very dim view. Take the main page for instance, the one you linked - it lists monthly prices. No mention whatsoever of "annual pricing pai

I truly hope Mozilla survives the next decade. They need leadership with opinionated direction, and I don't think this is it. Right now they're looking to be lead without a good funding avenue.

Yeah Clubhouse has already been scraped, I was taking a look at their API the other day it’s pretty much public by default. Someone with enough accounts and IPs could stream every Clubhouse room theoretically.

If companies policies and media bites were as clear as a forum moderators, we wouldn't see the same backlash. But because they all subscribe to the corporate koolaid, they make claims about being inclusive and a bastion of free speech

New Zealand has just opened up a 2-way travel bubble with Australia.. In 2 weeks we'll have free international travel between the countries, looking to include Singapore or Taiwan soon after. We don't wear masks, our healthcare sy

See I see this and it's $349 for the hardware plus $99/year. At that point, I might as well just go with a paid ProtonMail or similar solution. My expectations for self hosted isn't to have annual or monthly fees.

I wonder why they went with 2 rather than 3 or 4 for company identifier. Stock ticker for instance would make sense. Not really practical.

That’s really interesting, does anyone have a book or blog post taking about this versioning and releasing strategy? I feel like as a new dev there’s so much in engineering I could learn from that’s already been solved and re-solved again a

It's a lie. The offices are open and very full where they are allowed to (SK, JP, AU, NZ).

This must be a recent change because it used to be awful about 4 years ago. Regularly try and take me through roads that hadn't existed for a decade. Maybe worked around the city, but not outside or commercial areas.

Interesting, I wonder if we'll ultimately see legislation pass at some point that breaks these older TVs or non-supported devices.
