This is likely to cause a lot of political fallout following the recent high profile Optus breach. In this case the group responsible claim that the data includes medical diagnoses.

Many useful UI components were written using jQuery. I no longer write anything in jQuery but I still use it at times because of this. Give it another 5-10 years and I might find myself saying the same about React.

Regulation can influence supply and demand. Raising interest rates lowers demand (I would say most significantly it lowers speculative demand).

One possibility: As productivity has increased, so has availability of credit. Servicing debt is soaking up our increased productivity. I don't think it's just a coincidence that the FIRE sector has grown so spectacularly.

While it's true that 'wealth' isn't directly correlated with claims on our world's natural resources (e.g. 'intellectual property' is included), largely it is. I would prefer not to live in a society where

My experience may be of interest to you. I first used LSD around 15-16. It was fun in that novel kind of way. Not life-changing. Around a year later I moved to a new place where LSD was much more accessible and much cheaper. Myself and some

Really interesting. A bit disappointing to see all of Polynesia and other Pacific islands excluded.

That's news to me. I've purchased two prepaid sims in Australia within the past ten years and each time a passport or driver's licence was required.

I think this is not at all uncommon. I am largely in the same boat and assumed this was the 'de facto norm' amongst my peers as a teen (90s NZ), but it's interesting to consider that groups are often defined by what they are

It all started with Steve Jobs' focus on typography. There's a lesson to be learned there somewhere about serving a niche and benefiting from the network effect.

Designers might. As a developer it was a great relief that pretty much all of the designers I work with adopted Figma. I could finally stop paying $500/y just to view files. With Figma I don't pay anything and can thoroughly inspe

Good question. I'm not really too sure how this works these days. Does any Netflix/Apple/Amazon content make it to disc?

I would really, really like to see governments taking this issue seriously, starting with a proper effort to determine how many of the residences in their jurisdictions are not used as a primary residence. I suspect the results would be enl

My take was something along the lines of 'the browser is a place to strive for simplicity and mastery' instead of 'move fast and break things'.

I think a lot of humour works by establishing a recognisable pattern and then providing a punchline that is not the expected continuation of that pattern.

> not only can you become a victim of crime or mauled by an animal but a simple fall can kill you. Interesting that these are the dangers you bring attention to. Forefront of my mind are the large heavy objects hurtling around.
