I started with an Amiga 500. Wonderful machine, but the lack of a built in compiler/programming language that allowed you to access the power of the machine was a lack that limited your learning. I think it resulted in me taking a ver

What I don't understand is what value do people get out of promoting this type of conspiracy theory? Who profits? Is it just attention seeking or is there some profit motive? If so what? I'm all for exposing corruption and I th

Australia was originally settled (by white people) by criminals and their prison guards, by your analysis we should be a bunch of people who never talk to the police. However this is not the case, most people will happily give the police a

The question I would have around automated building construction is "why use bricks?". Bricks are great for humans to build with, they are just the right size and weight for the human hand to manipulate and place. They are not op

I have found that the introduction of using remote tools (Teams etc) regardless of in/out of office location has dramatically improved collaboration. People seem to be a lot more open to sharing ideas. We tend to chat back and forward

Our experience following the covid lockdowns and everybody working from home is that even if a majority of us are in the office, we still have meetings over Teams. It allows far better control, easier background chat, sharing ideas that ca

for a small effort. is not difficult to say, "George should be part of this discussion". Ok you may need to all put on headphones or get a room so you can use a speaker phone, but really, not that hard. What if George had been a

I work from home... but I'm not alone.. I've got as much, if not more access to co-workers whilst at home as I do in the office. We use teams extensively so if you are needing to concentrate, simply flip your status to busy. We&

Unfortunately the talking heads are what most people listen to. When they get it wrong, it allows the general public to claim the science is getting it wrong.

I'm wondering what type of fires these were. There is a vast difference between a forest crown wild fire, and a cooler one that mostly works burning undergrowth and leaf litter. Still fires, still covering the same amount of ground,

Is the increase in beetle kill related to the suppression/reduction in small scale cooler fires? Would be interesting to understand. In Australia it is only now becoming widely understood that stopping of the indigenous peoples burnin

More toys. Everybody must have more toys. Work hard and have more toys, even if you won't have enough time to play with them.

I think this could be a very effective use of your time. I always find the break from Friday to Monday very disruptive if I've got to carry work across, especially if I've had a busy/fun weekend. Being able to do 3-4 hours

I think there was some fairly tight integration ios/facebook in an earlier version of iOS. Seems to have been removed. I don't think Apple would want to get into bed with Facebook now, their reputation as a supporter of privacy

You are correct, two choices are not enough. The problem is that both of those choices are significantly influenced by big business. Google has a "free/open" version you can use if you like and also on their more restricted

This is great if you are looking at attributing blame. Not so great if you are trying to prevent all the worlds computers getting owned.... I'd imagine that if I were looking at causing world wide chaos, I'd love nothing better t

I think the point you and a lot of other commenters make is that applying hard and fast rules without referring to context is simply wrong. Surely if all we had to do was apply the rules, somebody would have long ago written a program to w

This is a brilliant observation. As a 50+ "adult" I avoid the news media. My parents used to sit and watch the news with us, I would never do that today. It's not that the world is a worse place these days (It's actual

I find it interesting (and a bit sad) that there is a common belief that Humans as a whole would be considered by alien intelligence to be are violent and unworthy of contact. I think partially this is because it makes for a good story pro

I think you are extrapolating from your personal experience. If I were to to do the same I'd be saying that there are no religious people around anymore and the church's only exist to interfere in politics, the people involved onl

May I ask what features your washing machine needs internet access for? I maybe be a bit backward, but it's a washing machine, it washes clothes, I can't see how that would ever require accessing the internet.

At first pass it seems a little odd that they are specifically naming Google and Facebook but not the "Media" that they are supposed to negotiate with. Sounds like the government is trying to avoid having every blog and website b
