For those outside Australia, you can pay most bills at the post office (Australia Post) or online via the post office's PostBillPay service. Basically, AusPost act as a middleman between the biller and the customer. But AusPost only ac

I don't get why this is any different to anything else. What's to stop Microsoft backdooring the next Outlook, MSWord or Windows itself? Why is there so much ZOMG-FUD over this from LinkedIn than there is over anything else? &quot

Sorry .. I did not intend to imply the flamewar detector was going to delete anyone's comment. It was going to do one of two things: 1. Turn off comments 2. Turn off comments and hide all comments to date. You can't have it electi

So the article might be useful to people building businesses in the tech space, but because some users decided to air their petty grievances in the _comments_ to that story, the story itself got buried? Seems like the flamewar detector woul

Which is kind of my point. Flagging stories just because you don't like Microsoft is counter to the site's purpose. Even downvoting because you don't like Microsoft doesn't improve the site. If I'm building somethin

Thanks Rob. Yes, it has been updated. Your post makes sense now.

Hi Rob, Has the headline on HN been updated? Because both you and brongondwana talk about it being sensationalist, where I see it as just being a summary of the most salient part of what you have to say. Do you have Australian legal advice

Oh God .. what a dumb idea. Until I got to that bit it sounded great. Whether it's FIA or someone else, if it can get a following then the innovation the teams will develop will be massive for electric cars. And that it IS FIA that&#x2

This is a great idea, but Lucid Charts is available as a Google App in Chrome and is MUCH more polished than this. You can only get 60 elements on a page in the free edition, but after months of using it I finally had a diagram hit that lim

That infinite scrolling is AWESOME. I absolutely HATE everyone else's version that makes dragging the scrollbar useless as it jumps around.

Would you not get the mean height above sea level of all points along the border and divide that by the mean height above sea level of the entire state (which I guess is really an average of some sampling of points)?

Homeland made me sad. In the book, the DHS's surveillance is revealed .. and everyone goes apeshit and protests. In real life it seems 90% of the population just keep drinking the Cool Aid

Not quite about surveillance, but a great hacker book: "The Eudaemonic Pie" is a 1985 book by American author Thomas A. Bass, about a group of University of California, Santa Cruz physics graduate students (known as the Eudaemons)

This is one of those ideas that look good on paper (or youtube) but just isn't practical. There's absolutely no spare space in a modern phone. If you make it modular, each 'module' has to have enough space for its compon

Sorry, I take my policy queues from Abbott and Turnbull. I haven't really thought it that far through. But if you vote for me I can probably muddle through.

I love that both Turnbull (who will be the internet minister) and Abbott (who will be prime minister) are both back pedalling saying they didn't have time to read it properly. IT'S THEIR FUCKING POLICY. https://twitter.

Blackouts don't make much sense in our always-connected world, but I think they should be swapped for "all policy must be announced 7 days out". If you have no economic policy announced the Saturday before the election then y

The sneaky fucks think they have carte blanche from the electorate and so are releasing policies either after the blackout or possibly not at all. "Vote for us to end the deficit. We'll work out how if you vote for us." (IMHO

I think all business-to-consumer calls should be charged a premium rate that's passed on to the consumer in question as a credit off their next bill. Rather than telling this guy he's rorting the system, we MAKE this the system.

The "Fishiest" part of this response is how many people he was able to interview about exactly what happened, and the speed at which he was able to get source interviews. I mean he's a blogger, so just like you and me, he&#x2

Off topic, but here in Australia if the landlord entered a the apartment without sufficient notice or permission from the tenant, then he DID break in (well, not 'break' in, but certainly entered illegally)
