I know a guy, who's great great, a few more great's, grandfather was part of a land race in Australia, where the rules where you could have as much crown land as you could fence in a day. His ancestors smart trick was to fence acr

I really like that blog layout. Nice images, good layout. Dense! On the article and all her points: I guess the best we can do is pray to the computing gods that everything works out! Everything is working out fantastic for computers. It sh

You can't grow though, and you'll continue to degrade. Your market position will be static. You will get disrupted. Fat staffing at tech companies is about securing the future as much as the present.

There's lots of guns in America. I don't support the death penalty, but not using the simplest method really seems like they are going out of their way to make it cruel.

Yeah!, for context, I saw and fixed that spelling mistake of calendar / colander. This week really has been a wild ride. Can't text fast enough.

If you can believe what's on twitter. The whole payroll dept has resigned. So that's a setback.

I had a job once, when TLS was new and half the internet was not using some form of SSL. We had to manually do keyswaps on a stack of machines to create a trust network for all the certs. IT really sucked. I made a note of the certificate e

Oh damn, I didn't click on that point. What a footgun.

Maybe... But not all tech debt is bad. As long as it's not holding you back and you are making deliberate choices. Twitter may have been badly managed, but it was consistent in experience. And in a large way that is a valuable product

Who cares about Twitter. Surely FTX and all the other crypto implosions would be staying on the front page for a little longer.

It's the ASX, in Sydney. 80K is not nearly enough for that work.

You get what you pay for. Australian companies operate like they live on an island, which is not far from the facts. Except for those pesky fibre optic cables, So getting pwned by Russian hackers still seems otherworldly to them. Our market

Those are all engineering challenges that are broadly constrained by money. I was pointing out that it's pretty common that those types of problems get solved when there's a will. the tide is turning, there's active research

It won't be for long. Remember, TSMC do chip lithography with a light source that is generated by firing a laser at in flight drips of molten tin metal. The metal releases a wavelength of light that is then able to etc ultra precise li

I would structure it so it's a separate company that offer's delivery. So workers are employed under one entity, and restaurants integrate. But this is a very local style solution. The Tech company part of this could probably be p

In his less than a month ownership of twitter. Musk really has managed to bring back the old 1990's forum vibe. It's like twitter is a subreddit and musk is the sole admin on a powertrip. I'm not saying it's a bad thing,

I actually just don't think there's a market for this to exist as a decentralized company that treats both sides as a customer. I think it could work in Australia if business had more of a share of the delivery pie, then I think i

Yes I concur. I wasn't lamenting our good laws. I very much hope this style of business folds. Especially when it erodes the already fragile social contract of workers. Ie fair work fair pay

Australia is not a terrible place to run a business, sure there's tax, but people love take out. I wonder if it was workers right's and conditions got them in the end. If it was it kind of points to fundamental thinness in their m

Power, money, and glory corrupt. This is generally what happens with a lack of effective competition in the market.

Institutional investors are starting to get burned. I think it's over. But yes I agree on your broader point. Money for no work is always attractive.

I may be a few days early, but I think it's the beginning of the end for crypto. It's going to burn a lot of people. Trust will never be restored.

You should go COTS for this and just buy. Is your job building software or integrating software into an existing business? From the sounds of it. is the later. So I would think it sensible to treat this purchase like buying a fleet of cars.

Ugh, it's probably climate change, or some PFAS chemical is wrecking everything.

Always trust a government for money related stuff. Take the USA. The US government doesn't tax much, protects the wealthy and is able to project it's sovereignty all over the world. Billionaires love living and banking in America

Hard disagree. I really loved candybar phones. I just wished that Nokia/Microsoft had picked up android for their feature phones. IMO, the best OS is the one that has access to banking applications and lots of vendor support.

You could also pick a more server side style of development such as PHP/Wordpress or Python/Django and then sprinkle a template and or javascript as required.

Fair enough, 6 figures is a lot for some. Good luck to him.
