Off topic from the OP’s submission title, but to me the most interesting segment was on mobile home manufacturing later in the video. I recently learnt that at the time, the largest building construction companies were in prefabricated hous

I was half hoping that it was a kinetic storage solution, like the brick-based one that did the rounds a week or so ago.

Page is unreadable on ios, and reader doesn’t render. Is there a reformatted version? Seems interesting.

> This blog post is clearly an ad for NitroPhone Thanks - somehow I completely glossed over that possibility. This kind of biased rage bait has no place in privacy stories.

The Australian Tax Office portal lists all of your active superannuation (or ‘super’, which is basically 401k) accounts, and offers a link to kick off the transfer process. Despite having one of the most contradictory and complex taxation s

The works by Richard PoE, Billal El Harousse and Yi Han really struck a tone with me. His post suggested that he had won the overall award, not a sub-category.

This is really cool, and refreshingly simple in the current landscape of generative tooling. I’m interested to hear your thoughts about the inevitable monetisation that will occur once someone wraps this into a horrible app with ads? Maybe

I’ve always wondered if this ice could have been the remnants of a comet, which after centuries of slowly spiralling closer and closer, landed gently on the moon in a soft cloud of dust.

Australia has had a ‘baby bonus’ for about 20 years now. It’s something like $2000 now, and is intended to subsidise the costs of child rearing, and bolster the country’s fertility rate. It received some criticism when a small number of par

One of my guilty pleasures is to watch one of AvE’s power tool tear downs. There’s something relaxing about watching someone question the die makers’ choices, based on the injection marks and other manufacturing evidence.

I feel like Ars carried the automotive tech torch from Jalopnik when they slid into obscurity after Gawker imploded. The reporting has always been mediocre - there is so much interesting tech happening across the industry, yet they choose t

I’m comfortable using the round two pin charging ones for things that only use the port for charging, not data, like mice, headphones, radios and speakers. The data ones are almost universally sketchy, as they expose pins (and sensitive int

I think private ones are still relevant, as they’re less likely to recklessly endanger their investment. In Australia at least, the police can and do fine people using them where they shouldn’t, and at speeds that they shouldn’t [1]. [1] ht

Anecdata, but the vast majority of people I see using using escooters in Australian cities are kids and drunk people. It’s not hard to see either: they’re bright orange or purple, and are usually seen on a Saturday or Sunday morning dumped

H2 has the benefit of being much easier to store, transport and transfer than batteries. It’s able to be stored in small containers and large vessels of any shape. Batteries manufacturing is much more complex. Electricity needs to be transf

Interesting to see how this plays out. I’m sure many other jurisdictions will be watching too.

‘Pumping a precise volume of near-boiling hot water at high pressure’ is orders or magnitude harder than ‘blowing hot air’. Sounds like you need a popocorn maker :)

Are you implying that they disclosed (to a movie director) that the USA have a foothold within China’s IMINT apparatus? It’s trivial to observe flyover changes, but it’s ludicrous to suggest that this action alone meant they were looking fo

That’s a very ignorant perspective. For me, it’s rarely about efficiency, and almost always about improving outcomes for workers and users. Micromanaging efficacy to maximise profit is an economists job. If the general public wants a cheap,

“The Navy told us that a Chinese satellite turned and headed on a different route to photograph that plane.” I can only assume that China publish their targeting on some Twitter account? What ludicrous statement.

That is actually cool. Really innovative and it actually doesn’t look too hacky.
