The other 'famously Australian' car manufacturer is Ford. Indeed.

The kinds of (Australian) people that find cars interesting tend to polarise between these two manufacturers, adopting the beliefs that it's patriotic, and that it can be economic to produce (in most cases components were built overseas but assembled within AU) cars in Australia. A country with breathtakingly high labour costs, small population, and low population density. Specifically a relatively small market, container shipping costs flatten out across the country.

That the designs of allegedly Australian cars, even recently, have focused on ICE sedans hasn't helped, though that presumably ties in with the nostalgia aspect for potential consumers of those types of vehicles.

The Monthly published[1] an exquisitely written article middle of last year, describing the history of the Australian car industry, and the self-sabotage exhibited. It's a depressingly sober read.

Maybe not on the same scale but there's the Australian Government Future Fund[1] which is a sovereign wealth fund founded in 2006.

It's about 10% of the size of Norway's so not especially impressive but it does exist.

What I don’t comprehend is how you can do that quickly enough for it to be useful as a signature.

If I was going to draw a bunny or a seagull, it would take at least several minutes, if not an hour or more. And even then, it would be horrible looking.
Measure what you can measure. Claim what you can claim. Don't claim what you can't claim based on what you measured. We're not talking about counting photons here. We're talking about human selective self-reporting under different circumstances. Understand the chasm between those things.
Sorry late reply did not see. The "smallest possible" reduction is zero because the first range is quite possibly significantly low, by admission of the person who made it.
Speaking as someone who's participated, led and created several open source software projects and organizations, you're wrong. Github is the primary reason why open source is thriving today. GitHub and GitHub Pages have made it both easy and free for FOSS projects to get contributors set up and managed, market themselves and be more than an obscure project on a nameless site.

The centralization that Github provides is essential to lowering the barrier of entry for new contributors, and those are what makes or breaks a project. So yes, you do need a middleman; or at least you need something. You're welcome to attempt solving the problem, in the mean time you can't start claiming that they "hampered" progress, that's just delusional.
I think it's kinda cool that different contributors can express their different creative/organizational (or disorganizational) styles, yet still be able to contribute bug fixes (and bugs themselves) on absolute strangers random projects. For me, it feels much more relaxed. I even made a pull request on a major project recently (sympy). In the past, I'd probably have felt very intimidated to do something like this. But the lax attitude on github made it very easy for me, socially, to reach out with my code.

That said, if I were to make a new github-like platform, the number one thing I'd probably do to decrease fragmentation is make automated testing as friendly as possible. In the same way that github made git itself friendly, tests need to be friendly.
The Stanford case is a really good (and chilling) example of what victims of these crimes can go through. This is the letter the victim read to the rapist at his sentencing[1].

If it wasn't for Github, I wouldn't be where I am today. For that, I'm pretty thankful. Sure Github has its flaws, and the product is still evolving. But all-in-all, it's been a transformative ride. Thank you, to everyone at Github. I owe you so much. :)
Practically, that would require court-sanctioned employees to go through all the videos and edit out the non-public content before release (automation probably doesn't cut it legally). It would require a significant labor force and cost, substantially reduce the overall privacy of the system, and occasionally release private info by mistake. I'm not opposed to it in principle, but it doesn't seem worth it to me.
Edge seems to be less secure by any objective measure: CVE count, Pwn2Own contests, audits, etc.

So far I'd say it's pretty clear the stronger isolation model works better than the multiple-mitigation techniques model, even though Edge actually has some relatively strong sandboxing, too, which makes the ineffectiveness of its mitigation mechanisms even worse.

Also, as they say in this post, Google is already developing an even stronger isolation model that would have prevented this type of attack. It's just not fully tested and enabled yet.

Finally, Google seems to dedicate more people for patching Chrome, or at least it has a system that fixes bugs much faster than Microsoft does in Windows. One of Edge's main weaknesses is that it essentially works as a part of Windows, not as a third-party app. This is something I've criticized them for since when they first announced Edge and said this was a mistake precisely because of this reason, of being tied to Windows updates, and thus slower to improve.

I don't really care about the part where they're supposed to wait for Google to fix it or whatever. I don't know the details for this, but I believe Google waits on some bugs for 90 days and on some highly-critical ones, like bugs being exploited in the wild only 7 days. But I suppose that's also a pretty arbitrary number, so I don't know if I should be upset at Microsoft for releasing the bug sooner than that.

All in all, it's actually pretty cool that Microsoft and Google are attacking each others' products like this. It keeps both on their toes, at least I would hope it does. I just wanted to point out that Microsoft is being rather misleading in this post when it's implying that Edge's model has better security. Chrome's security is not bulletproof but it seems to have proven itself to be quite good so far.

It's also why I was hoping Mozilla wouldn't make those "best of both worlds" compromises between sandboxing and saving 30% memory. Is saving 30% memory worth having your browser twice as exploitable? Maybe it won't be that exploitable, so we'll see. Firefox may also be able to make up for the weaker sandboxing with the Rust rewrites, but only time will tell.

I mean, other than to be nice to a service that a lot of people genuinely appreciate? It's also worth mentioning that Github is the primary reason why a lot of people have a job at all. Github resumes have immense weight in the industry nowadays.
Yes, there has been a continuous and pretty well-organized effort to make Amazon employees feel unwelcome. I've participated in this campaign as much as possible, and I don't feel the slightest bit guilty. Here's why.

Amazon is almost single-handedly responsible for destroying communities that people spent decades building. This includes the destruction of at least two of the most significant communities for persons of color in the entire city.

And for what? For Walmart-in-the-sky?

The people who lived in those communities were not given any choice in the matter, they simply had to pack their bags and leave before their houses were torn down or sold. For many people, the results have been heart-breaking.

Please, please, please forgive me for not feeling any sympathy whatsoever for the plight of highly-paid invaders who cared not in the slightest for the communities that were destroyed.

It's really, really, really funny listening to an Amazon employee complain about the hostility from a community that most of you never even bothered to try and understand at all.

Most Amazon employees came here to consume and to get ahead, and they didn't care - the slightest bit - what got destroyed, and who got hurt in the process.
This article is kind of absurd in its assumption, I think it's irresponsible. By saying that you thought police would modify their behavior in response to being filmed, and especially (but not only) by citing a bunch of studies where CRIMINALS changed their behavior in response to being filmed, you are implying that the officers would change their behavior because THEY KNOW THEIR BEHAVIOR IS WRONG and they were doing it anyway. You're essentially saying you are surprised more officers are not actively criminals.

The actual problem is more likely that in the vast majority of incidents officers DO NOT KNOW what they're doing is wrong, that for instance they're acting with bias or unreasonably against someone of color in a way they wouldn't act against a white person. The ACTUAL purpose of the body cameras is to create a record that allows ACCOUNTABILITY for officers ("I felt threatened" with no evidence is no longer enough to justify a shooting). Only with that accountability can we start to PROVE that officers are acting unfairly whether they consciously intend to or not, and then fix the problem (with "training" as the article says but with no detail may as well have been saying nothing).
That mountains are still 20+ miles east of Redmond. There's still plenty of building opportunities if you look around Redmond Ridge, Duvall, Carnation, Fall City and Monroe.
The body cams need to serialize their stream to a special satellite or cell provider, and a chain of auditable custody needs to be preserved at multiple data centers. Police cannot be the masters of their own footage. It needs to exist beyond bribery, lust and international intimidation. It needs to be out of their hands and into a web of trust, as soon as the photons hit the sensors.

Then it comes down to jamming, tampering, malfunction, sabotage, and any misbehavior that otherwise prevents useful recordings, since we’re talking about wearables that can be covered, discarded and left behind, even if thy can’t be turned off. But if it does get recorded, it needs to get locked up tighter than handcuffs.

That video needs to dust off and nuke the site from orbit. It’s the only way to be sure.
No, I'll second the OP. Fuck anyone who chooses to hate you just because you work for Amazon. Go ahead and be angry, absolutely, but anyone who treats another person like that deserves to have their drink poured out on the floor.

The Google Pixel is incredibly fragile as well. Not the screen, the screen/display lens is indestructible. No... they put a small, poorly engineered glass panel at the top back of the device for no reason. The panel is weak, but to add to it there is empty space behind it making it simple to fracture. Luckily the replacement glass is ~$10.
I got reported for calling Marin residents who didn't want to pay a $75 tax to support affordable housing because it might mean poor people in Marin "greedy cunts" and my account was suspended. Meanwhile they get to launch all sorts of insults and personal attacks at proponents of more housing and not get banned.
it was recalled because it was causing damages. the article is wrong. they found that body tissues has similar protein structures as the target for the vaccine, and left some people in wheel chairs. there are some developments for an improved vaccine but not out yet.

What are the most used package / dependency management tools which rely on GitHub? Many can install packages from there, or from any Git URL, but they tend to have centralized stores as well, right?

One example that comes to mind is Cargo. At least a couple years ago, the package index (but not packages themselves) for crates.io was stored in a Git repo hosted on GitHub. But (without checking, on a phone) I’m fairly certain crates.io doesn’t/didn’t rely on any GitHub APIs, just Git operations, so it would be easy to recover if GitHub just disappeared.

Rust’s CI operation, on the other hand, is somewhat tightly coupled with GitHub. Last time I checked, the software powering bors only support GitHub’s APIs; support for competing APIs like Gitlab were open tickets. But I’m sure in an emergency the team would be able to put together support for another project host.
Yes.

How to solve problems like a designer
This seems extremely unfair. As has been pointed out they did disclose this, Chrome shipped a patch a while back by disabling the optimization.

Microsoft is contributing interesting, valuable information with this post.
Oh so the problem is that the new people speak the wrong language.
For base types, rather than a set of specific data types which is limited, how about having a standard way to indicate a type and data, like "number:12" and "rational:12/17" and "string:foo" and "date:2017-10-20" and "bitmap-hex:cafebabea2b9c0..."? Then let the reader parse it however they want given their desired interpretation of the type tag.

There could be a base set of standard types and ideally an organizational process to add more standard types -- like mimetypes. Mimetypes also might be considered included by default perhaps like "application/json; charset=utf-8:[1, 2, 3]").

It is more characters to include a type for each primitive, but it is more expandable. Likely these files will mostly be generated and read by code anyway, with humans just looking at them now and then for debugging.

If that string version seems too cluttery, another option is something like: rational:12/17 and string:foo and string:"this has spaces".

Or given possible confusion with maps and colons, another option is rational/12/17 and string/foo and string/"this has spaces" and complex/−1+3i and real:30.564 and "application/json; charset=utf-8"/[1,2,3] and maybe even xml/<foo>bar\ baz</foo> and javascript/console.log("hello") and so on.

Or maybe pipes? Like: rational|12/17 and string|foo and string|"this has spaces" and complex|−1+3i and real|30.564 and "application/json; charset=utf-8"|[1,2,3] and maybe even xml|<foo>bar\ baz</foo> and javascript|console.log("hello") and so on.
I’m surprised they don’t have a mobile app yet. I’m also jealous since I thought of this idea 5 years ago but did nothing with it!

You don’t actually need a control to make claims about what fraction of police officers are “decent people”. Even if, hypothetically, decency were determined completely by external factors that happen to correlate with being a police officer, that wouldn’t change the fact that any police officer you meet is likely to be less (or more) decent than some baseline of people in general.

Though, of course, the source itself may be making stronger claims…

A bigger problem: even within the same staff, the same notes on different octaves look different. Like, a middle E goes through the first line of the treble staff, but a high E goes between the top two lines. Music “rhymes” at octave intervals, but the staff spans a different, clashing interval.

There’s a new notation whose name I’m forgetting which resolves this problem — I’d expect it to make sight reading significantly easier to learn.
Software is different. I don’t deplete it by using it. It’s in my interest to contribute things back since more people will be testing my code and fixing it.

Why would you have someone manually looking at badges? That’s what HID readers are for. I have occasionally seen a security guard in addition to a badge reader to make sure that your face matches the badge photo as you pass through a turnstile, but it doesn’t matter what’s on your badge - the “source of truth” photo is loaded from the database onto the guard’s screen.
Just as you are allowed to say things considered insulting, oppressive, and intimidating by other (unfortunately large and growing) groups of people. Nobody complains about being marginalized more loudly than the nativists and white supremacists, and they use the exact same arguments as you do to demand that their critics be silenced.
It seems psychology is over funded, considering how much garbage is constantly spewed out.
I'd like to thank Gitlab for competing with Github, it makes both products better.
I think this problem has to be tackled at the level of the journals. Journals should not reward "interesting" or catchy results with publication. Instead, experiments should be accepted for publication before they are performed, and then published regardless of result. The criterion for evaluation should be methodological rigor and proven replicability, not potential for journalistic headlines. Change the incentives and you change the outcome. If scientists are rewarded for rigor (and they currently are NOT), they will bring rigor to their experiments. If they are rewarded for cutting corners, corners they will cut.If they don't they themselves will be cut from the profession as their CVs lag behind their less scrupulous peers.
Yeah, that doesn't sound like an argument I actually want to engage with.

For a well-documented summary of the Vietnam War, I recommend Ken Burns's PBS documentary which came out a few weeks ago [1] It is a total of 18 hours of video but very well worth it.

To me, it is striking how history has repeated itself with the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. A war with: (1) no clear goal or victory criteria, (2) endless spending and major profiteering by the war industrial-complex
and (3) low levels of support from the American people. It was very sad to, very clearly, draw the parallels between the two wars as the documentary progressed.

OK, so what do you think would the world of free software look like today if github had never existed, and why do you think that?

> GitHub and GitHub Pages have made it both easy and free for FOSS projects to get contributors set up and managed, market themselves and be more than an obscure project on a nameless site.

Why do you think would the alternative solution that would have been developed if github had not been around not have been able to achieve the same?

Why do you think that the centralization is essential?

What specifically do you mean by "something"?

> You're welcome to attempt solving the problem, in the mean time you can't start claiming that they "hampered" progress, that's just delusional.

Does that mean then that your implicit claims about alternative histories are also delusional? I mean, your claims about how github is better than what the world would look like if github had not been around obviously also imply some idea of what you think the world would otherwise look like (i.e. worse). Is that speculation on your part also delusional?
