There are a lot of weird arguments about this that seem to work of the idea that because there aren't really that many foreign buyers, ergo they don't have much effect on the market.

Agreed that capital gains and leverage have a lot more do to with it, but I don't think Australians are necessarily ready for "zone/invest appropriately" (and fair enough - so we have to watch our cities transformed to megacities?)

It's the US government that's advocating violence against a group of people.

Blacklisting people is active disruption of their lives, too. If it's based on statistical modelling, not actual misdeeds, then it's not even based on what they've done.
People in Canada blame foreigners too for house prices in Vancouver and Toronto but recent surveys show that foreigners only make up about 10% of purchasers. We've had low interest rates too and a vibrant economy. The federal government raised interest rates, changed mortgage terms and increased fitness requirements to stop people acquiring mortgages they can't afford.
If the numbers are hard to get, then it’s difficult for you to say whether foreign investment is or isn’t part of the problem.
Again, I ask what good is a right if one can not reasonably exercise it?

I also suggest we are veering too far from the topic. To be very, very clear - Reddit is under no obligation to allow anything they do not wish to allow.
Definitions aside, you're just listing "groups" or "ideologies" or whatever you want to call them and then acting like you can objectively determine which are acceptable and which are not. That's also what reddit is doing.

Look, I think Nazism is wrong, I think cops should stop shooting black people for no reason, and I don't really know what "Antifa" is. But I think all of these groups should be able to have subreddits.

I could argue about definition here, and based on your own definitions, "Antifa" might be advocating violence. That aside, the real issue here is that this whole thing seems dishonest to me.

Reddit is banning stuff that generates bad PR. They're banning things that aren't mainstream and things that could be portrayed as advocating/glorifying violence. They aren't going to ban a subreddit for advocating war with North Korea/X country. They aren't going to ban a subreddit for encouraging people to beat up Nazis.

Reddit can do what they like, but I think it's a bad call.
You first say

> but has access to things I don't even have in a state school by virtue of being a sharp high schooler in Palo Alto, much less when I was in high school.

and then you go on to say

> I more mean the hardware access part - at 15 my parents would have never given me their debit card to spend hundreds of dollars on GCP GPUs - good luck training GANs on a laptop CPU!

That has literally nothing to do with location as you seem to allude to in the earlier post. It has nothing to do with the spoils of an economy being distributed unequally. Maybe if the hardware was only accessible in certain parts of the country, sure your point makes sense. But anybody with money could've bought it.

So your post now reads as "I'm going to blame me not achieving as much as Kevin on my parents for not spending money on me when I was young."

That article was encouraging, if anything. It shows exactly how available educational resources to the field of AI have become that a 15-year old can have access to them and make significant progress. it shows if you take initiative, you can actually go ahead and get things done.

And a child comment of yours wants an extra hour of light in the mornings. You can't have it both ways! There's a finite amount of light in the day: not everyone can have everything he wants.

You can't do that in an open, globally connected economy though. As great and beautiful as Thailand is, it is still for the most part a corrupt developing country. You want to hold Australia or NZ, which should be open for business and wants to attract global investment by better protecting investor rights, to a much higher standard.

"the road to hell is paved with good intentions"

As someone who worked for an online marketing company and designed its tracking system, i can tell you that’s the most frightening part of it. Everything is logic,and is a logical evolution or improvement of the previous state.

Every intrusion of foreign company into your private life will be done for your own good, or at least for the benefit of the society. You don’t even need an evil genius at the head of some powerful tech company for 1984 to happen, because it’s simply the logic of the whole system we’re living it, that’s meant to go this road.

If kids are a concern, what about the problem of DST in winter in northern areas meaning kids go to school in the dark?

For example I see kids walking to school at around 7:15 AM (6th-8th grade and high school) and around 8:30 AM (K-5th grade).

This is at latitude ~47.7° N (same latitude as the city that is part of your name, in fact).

Here is what various DST options would do in terms of kids going to school before sunrise:

Elementary: Middle/High:
No DST: never Nov 20th - Feb 10th
Current DST: never Oct 10th - Mar 16th
Permanent DST: Nov 23 - Feb 2nd Oct 10th - Mar 16th

From iOS and Android apps you can search a for products in a specific store. It displays Aisle number and some broad stock information. Maps have been trialed as well. There are challenges with data quality to get maps to work well. Poor data quality is due to managers being able to move shelves around without updating central systems and stock living in multiple places within a store (same SKU). Locating consumers on a map has also been trialed with LED based indoor positioning. Walmart do try lots of stuff and work with lots of vendors. Rolling out to 4000+ stores is a multi-year challenge. See eReceipts, Savings Catcher, Scan'n'Go, Walmart Pay et al. Usually 3 years from pilot to chain.

You seem to think that I'm arguing against time zones. I'm not (here, anyway): I'm arguing that the time within a time zone be that of noon at its midpoint, so that no point within the timezone is more than 30 minutes from true noon (yes, some timezone are larger than an hour …), as opposed to those who want permanent DST, or even double DST, where clock noon might be hours from true noon.

I'm not proposing that we take on board the corruption, but of course you can have a law with appropriate penalties for violators of it in an open, globally connected country.

We want people to invest; we don't want them to break our laws. Their rights (and the penalties that would apply to them) would be laid out under the law, so no problem at all.
Walmart re-instituted its greeter system [1] in part for that reason. They're using a lot of elderly workers for it. Walmart found that just having greeters out front reduced their theft numbers meaningfully.

As a fellow German, at the very least you'll need to account for the Treaty of Verdun. (No, not that one. The other one :)

From there, Louis the German received East Francia, which in many ways formed the core of what would later be Germany. From there, we certainly took a long and winding road. (The reformation settlement is probably another point worth touching upon, though)

1871 is merely the point where there was an actual administratively unified nation state called Germany. It's the first time we did that, so in that sense, sure.

(Sorry. I nerd out on history. Really, it's a distraction to your main point - the whole legend of Arminius thing is a German nationalist myth. Tied to 1871 - each nation state needs a founding myth)

> Intolerance, you draw the line at Intolerance.

That doesn't work. There are lots of people who are extremely intolerant to people who hold views that weren't very controversial a decade or two ago and are still widely held today; case in point, Brendan Eich (and the intolerant campaign that got him fired). "Unacceptable intolerance" is something that can have very different definitions from one person to the next, so it's not a useful test.

> It is not really that hard.

Drawing the line about what the limits of free expression are in an open society is a very hard problem. Saying it isn't is flippant and frankly wrong.

> The irony in this whole thing is, the more tolerant you are to an inherently intolerant ideology like white-supremacy, the less tolerant we become as a society.

That isn't true either, it can also show societal confidence that ideas like white-supremacy are wrong and that the light of scrutiny will make them look foolish.

Yes.

The 5% threshold has a lot to answer for; needs to be either removed entirely (minimum threshold to be whatever the % is required at the time to get a single list MP into parliament) or, to appease those terrified of small parties, at least to have a transferable vote so that in the situation where your first preference fails to cross the line at least your vote transfers to your next preference.

Both would improve support for minor parties, the first directly and the second by reducing the risk that your vote gets "wasted". Implementing both would be ideal (and, to add to that, adding an STV system for the electorate vote as well).

The issue is it's extremely easy to hide foreign ownership through trusts, companies and relatives who are Australian residents. Anyone with a the means to pay top dollar for an investment property can easily afford hiring the right people to get around this restriction. Which makes it even more shocking when you see statistics like 21% of supply is purchased by foreigners.
Walmart has eyes in the sky covering every part of the consumer area of the building. I imagine they'll regard it as property vandalism (stickers being the least of what people will do to them).
