Australia can compel a citizen to break the law in a foreign country?

If someone paid me $800k per year, I would be retired in three years. You’re right on the behavioral aspect, for sure.

The original base model Mac Mini was $824 in 2005 (in 2024 dollars). The current base model at Best Buy is $500. The price on the Mac Mini now is significantly cheaper and I’m not even sure if the performance is remotely comparable.

The decade you’re looking for where Mac vs PC was remotely relevant was two decades ago. It’s OK to let it go.

Now people will complain that 16 GB isn’t enough and 32 GB should be standard. ;)

> The days where a cop, judge or prosecutor identified as the function they render to society are over, I suspect. It’s work life balance all the way. This is terrifying and also true in many other industries, including software.

I drive an EV and love it, it’s our only vehicle. But many of my fellow Americans aren’t going to drive anything but gas until they’re unable to buy it.

That’s what I’d prefer but I’m in the minority. It’s drill baby drill for most it would seem.

The faster we burn through fossil fuels (especially Oil and Natural Gas), the sooner the transition will be. The only question will be how painful it is.

I use it every day. I’m curious what you’re building that it’s useless for?

So much for “Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité”. I wonder if this will help push founders more to the US.

Many (not all, obviously) boomers will never buy an EV because of identity politics in the midwestern United States. I wouldn’t be surprised if this is true elsewhere as well. Why they’re not pumping out $25k 250 mile range city cars for mi

> Statistical illiteracy in American early education. This commentary isn’t necessary. It’s also odd, as no country teaches statistics in early education.

I don’t like pop-ups, regardless of the sort. There should be browser support for global opt-out or opt-in.

> Are you ok being more annoyed with popups asking your permissions every time? No, I’m really not. The EU regulation that caused every site to have a stupid cookie pop-up/banner has made the Web a significantly poorer experience.

Slack was crazy. Aside from huddles I can’t think of a single feature I’ve used that they’ve added since their acquisition by Salesforce. Like what are they doing with so many people? (I know that’s a trope, but seriously…)

The hundreds of acquisitions of startups made every year by Apple, Google and Microsoft for example.

There’s been too much consolidation bordering on monopolies. Whenever you hear about two companies merging and laying off thousands of staff, maybe it’s time to stop letting that happen.

Until people start leaving (and not joining) these companies en masse that have poor and hypocritical leadership, none of this will change.

They just paid Reddit to shut off access to other companies/search engines. How is that not anti-competitive?

He’s right, Americans won’t work like employees at TSMC in Taiwan. There were _decades_ of struggle to get eight hour per day/five day work weeks. If Elon Musk, the richest man on earth, wants to work all the time, that’s his prerogati

I can almost guarantee this is about commercial real estate taxes more than productivity. If agency review is months behind, they need to hire more people, not force their existing employees to lose hours a day to commuting.
