Imagining that reference frame is a beautiful thought. Galaxies and stars coming into and out of existence in real time, supernovae exploding like fireworks constantly as the entire universe zips by.

Does your belief in this hold true for children, the disabled, the visually impaired, etc?

Allow Australia to introduce the concept of: the ute. Functional tray and carrying capacity, without the pedestrian murder potential of the Yank Tanks™.

Sure, but single-payer government healthcare has an enormous ability to influence the cost in the first place. Outside of a treatment that demonstrably has a true cost to manufacture (when also accounting for R&D) that is within that ba

Reports from a third party ISP is that Optus are flying technicians to at least eight sites across the country, and that it’s a problem with their BGP route reflectors. Facebook faced a similar problem last year IIRC.

It’s BGP, not DNS.

by liamwire 3y ago
If it’s BGP as is currently believed to be the case, it’s somewhat understandable. Same thing tripped up Facebook not too long ago.

BGP route reflectors seem to be the problem.

Absolutely. Consumer and enterprise alike, EFTPOS, internet, landlines, mobiles, roaming, all down. Hospitals and train networks heavily impacted as well.

It’s hard to overstate the scale of their offerings and ubiquity in consumer mindshare in the states. Comparatively, we’ve had Amazon in Australia for what, seven years at this point?

In my opinion, it’s the relative (hah) gentleness of the tidal forces at the Schwarzschild radius of supermassive black holes that astounds me. Assuming for a moment that the black hole firewall doesn’t exist, the notion that one can pass t

Exercising today is important, because it contributes to my long-term goals, but it isn’t urgent – I can do it this morning, tonight, or even delay it a few days if need be. Buying food for dinner tonight is urgent, because without it I can

I’m not so sure. From the article, the author mentions that they’re using an internal library from the Go compiler for the disassembly.

Let’s suppose the motive of wanting more women in tech is to rally against historic prejudices and institutional biases, in order to assist an otherwise marginalised group towards a more equal footing with the traditional power brokers, men

Jeremy is an idol of mine, and as someone born and living in Queensland, a reminder that global talent really does exist all around us. (Caveat, of course there’s many such people in all domains, Jeremy is simply one of the people I both kn

Thank you for sharing this. I was born in ‘95—hearing a firsthand account of the early internet in Australia from someone that helped to bring it here is truly special.

Partially, it’s tradition at this point, but it’s also worth pointing out that a PhD isn’t the only doctorate, see e.g. DBA, EdD, JD, MD, etc.

Given the whole First Amendment thing the USA has had for a hot minute now, I suspect not. Baseless speculation aside, if you have genuine examples of this occurring, please show the class.

Not knowing how a CAT scan works, beyond a vague intuition from already knowing what the acronym stands for, and not wanting to look it up before making a guess: can I assume it’s akin to this, in that radiation is shot from an emission sou

If I recall correctly former reddit CEO Yishan Wong’s tweets on the matter, it was ordered by Alexis Ohanian directly. Yishan went on to describe how Alexis let the at-the-time CEO, Ellen Pao, take the heat for the decision. In my eyes, Red

Something akin to the anthropic principle seems relevant here. Feeling that ‘I’m’ attached this body is what it feels like to be these atoms. If I were instead composed of your atoms, it follows I might find myself wondering the exact same

Your link contradicts your comment: “In October 2012, Chen exposed the real name and details of Violentacrez (a moderator of several Reddit jailbait communities), a Texas Internet developer, who was subsequently fired from his job.”

You misunderstand, it’s two hours with the battery pack connected, there’s no internal battery that’s intended for standalone use.
