Really? What's your up rate? I am with Telstra HFC and get 2Mbps on the upload on home plan. NBN gives 40Mbps.

This is an excellent summary of the situation. There was a few major potholes in the original plan. The nobel aim was to wire up (and use satellite to augment) the majority of australia, including, critically a large part of the rural popul

I loved Berlin... Over a decade ago, when room rent was 200€ a month in a massive apartment in Prenzlauerberg. Sounds like wages are stagnating, cos I was on 2.5k net starting as a junior and when I quit a few months later they offered to b

Also tried a few Android apps, and Materialistic was the one I stayed with.

This is the standard way when looking for reduced order models in fluid mechanics. Variations on this: i) How 'faithfully' does it represent the data, eg, how many modes (components) are needed to resolve accuracy in a particular

I refuse to sign up to Academia and ResearchGate, for-profit companies that are littering indexes with pay-wall accessible PDFs that should be available through institutional login, or the author's website. And now, through sci-hub. Go

Thank you for your response. I watched that section, and I offer a rebuttal. My summary:The speaker here argues that post-modernism's great illogical flaw is that it invites all individuals to assign themselves labels of victimhood, an

Perhaps I am misunderstanding you and you are responding to a particular point, but the buckets are not equal! Your 'bucket' is not just based on your unique identity but on social categorizations which influence others and their

Agreed, and given there isn't a convincing answer, this 'solution' is more of a ways to insert deregulation into law on a small level for later expansion (probably when comcast complains that it is anti-competitive).

It is! When playing with other people. I find multiplayer (played locally with friends in the same room) games really fun. I used to also enjoy playing alone, or online, but nowadays the level of story telling doesn't grip me so all th

I've been thinking of this. I don't want to take my digital possessions through customs if they can request access or deny me. I don't want a burner that is subpar and I can't afford another phone with great camera etc.

I can see where the argument is going, but it is too simplistic and so ignores the plethora of reasons we have developed to use cars after this many decades of IC. The problem is with public transport, and urban traffic, not cars. The probl

I use syncthing. Mostly for syncing all my music and pictures between phone / laptop and home server. For your use case, there is a solution with the caveat that your password manager is unavailable on the flight. Simply have a dumb ph

I agree - car ownership is expensive. So we get by mostly on our bikes. Reasons we still have a car: - Moving big things - Shopping for big things - Camping - Driving out for the weekend to visit family 1.5 hours out of town - Baby in b

Productivity wise it was mainly good at prioritizing incoming information and calendars. You can set the pebble to only notify on emails from a particular filter/tag/sender which was great for alerting you to time sensitive emails

There is a keep for pebble that was developed for a while [0]. The developer released the source code, so perhaps it can be modified to work with a custom note API. It still works for me on the original pebble with latest firmware and shopp

just download the offline map before you go! You'd probably have to do that for your dedicated GPS anyways, right?

I am finishing up my postdoc now. I went back to do a PhD from IT because I loved the field I was entering and ended up really enjoying my PhD. I learnt a lot, got exposed to some great minds, and raised the bar for my own standards of qual

Maybe - but by then climate change might make that irrelevant with food shortages, unliveable conditions and further inequality. Perhaps rather than following Bill and Melinda's footsteps, the new generation should use their considerab

Anecdotally, we found the midwest of America so much more relaxed then our home country of Australia. When we came here, I was amazed to see kids with no supervision roaming our inner-city neighbourhoods and playing like we did growing up.

Then make an argument for it. If you want to do your best, then don't try to lure the discussion in a different direction with semantics, random questions and flashcards, just state a clear point of view and it will become the starting

I always assumed that Ryan Air's design follows a deliberate dark pattern so as to maximise the likelihood you will end up paying for a missed flight / wrong baggage size etc.

we use the group chat the same way as texts. There is an understanding that there is no requirement to respond instantly (or at all!). It is an announcement platform with implicit understanding it is not work related. You want to discuss so

same - we torrent content we have access to on Netflix and Amazon because, for some unknown reason, those services regularly degrade their video quality to 420p while torrents download at 1.4mb/s.
