Am Australian. I realise he's parodying an archetype, but question whether it needs (more) parodying.

The sweary thing is one way to distinguish from the competition I suppose, but all my favourite comedians manage to amuse without regular obscenity, in part because they reserve it for when emphasis is needed. (I'm not prudish about swearing - I swear like a trooper at home - but I do seek more thoughtful / less cheap material from my comedians.)

I also note that he's adopted - though not as savagely as many - that favourite youtube technique of removing the full stops from the end of every sentence, leaving the whole monologue sounding like one long breathless sentence replete with visually jarring cuts. It's a horrendous editing technique. Evidently enough people can put up with it for it to remain popular, but I just quit any videos done in that style.

For many of the examples described in the article, it is the site (not Google or Facebook) that left the email address in the URL. That is bad coding practice. Just so we are clear, it isn’t the “evil advertising companies did this”. Now asking Google to randomly search all unwanted referral URLs received for a customer specific pattern and delete what may look like an email address seems unfair. Google in no position to use or recognize that data as email. If they tried that, it would be brittle and unmanageable.

One could argue Advertising shouldn’t exist or that Google should not store anything. But the GDPR argument is BS, although admittedly legal.

It is like throwing a small rock in to the neighbors yard and asking them to retrieve it for you.
All very promising but I am simply not interested in a brand new vaccine that has been minimally tested. Especially an mRNA vaccine, a technology which is only a few years old now and comes with side effects like inducing autoimmunity. We're talking about altering your genome, permanently.

The Gates article mentions the mRNA solution needs to be kept at -80C up until delivery. In a controlled environment, a test lab in a first world country this is completely feasible. However the logistical challenges that presents seem impossible when you consider the infrastructure (or lack thereof) of a continent like Africa.

The normal development cycle of a vaccine is 5 years and we're shortening that to 18 months? By having years less human testing? And side stepping government regulators? No thank you.

And really all I get out of it is short term immunity which requires boosters or worse a yearly shot like the flu shot? Honestly it sounds worse and worse the more I research it.

Probably one of the dozen or so most important publications of the twentieth century. Ironically though it would be Norbert Wiener's interpretation of information (exactly Shannon's times minus one) that would cement itself in the popular lexicon due to it being far more intuitive. Where Wiener posits information as negative-entropy (or "order"), Shannon interprets it as representing a degree of freedom, or uncertainty. The problem with Wiener's is that the underlying epistemology carries a subjective bent, where information is equivocal to "meaning" or semantic content. Shannon's, meanwhile is ultimately superior as an objective metric, though far less intuitive (under his interpretation, a random string is technically the most information-saturated construct possible, because it possesses the highest degrees of freedom).

>For example, just weeks ago highly placed senators were discovered to have conducted insider trading on the back of security briefings on the coronavirus pandemic

What did they know that wasn't already in the public eye? Banks were making their projects just like everyone else and nobody KNEW what was going to happen. Insider trading has a real legal definition, there was nothing in that briefing that could constitute insider trading because there was no information revealed there, just speculation that was already captured by public sources.

There is a brilliant speech by the late Christopher Hitchens [0] on free speech that I must have seen a dozen times. An excerpt:

“The freedom of speech is meaningless unless it means the freedom of the person who thinks differently...
Don't take refuge in the false security of consensus, and the feeling that whatever you think you're bound to be okay because you're in the safely moral majority.

...Bear in mind, ladies and gentlemen, that every time you violate or propose to violate the free speech of someone else, you, in potentia, are making a rod for your own back.”

Threaded IO, Server assisted client caching, and Redis proxy in my opinion is an important milestones. Threaded IO will fully utilize multiple cores; and improvements are amazing. Server assisted caching will reduce client round-trips. Redis proxy will remove the debate of which client library to use, Jedis for example has not allowed reading from replicas or doing multiplexing distributed commands; proxy is gonna solve all those gripes. I can't wait for it to be stable and production ready.
I’m curious: what are your top alternatives to Postman?
If you take cars as an example the need to move around comfortably is available quite cheaply.

What we have got though is an onslaught of marketing encouraging us to thing of a vehicle as part of our identity and status. New tail fins making us think our current model is obsolete. Advertising implying that we aren't a good parent if we don't have a new German car. Product placement telling us suave British spies all drive Aston Martins.

The car market is the furthest thing from utility.
Going to get myself in trouble again :-) Just to make sure I don't come across the wrong way, I applaud this kind of measure. Voluntarily taking a 30% pay cut is a difficult thing to do. Also, I'm going to say this without knowing anything about Grab (no idea how much the executive gets paid or what their life situations are like). However, it is very possible that a 10% cut at the low end of the pay scale can mean that you literally can't make ends meet, while a 30% cut at the top end can mean almost nothing to your day to day needs.

I mean it would be crazy to say, "Well some of our staff won't be able to make their mortgage payments or pay their rent, so I'll reduce my salary to the point where I also can't make my mortgage payments". However, it's probably not wrong to say that for many executives, such a cut is mainly a show of solidarity as opposed to something that will put them in the same situation as other employees.

Why are you sure if you don't know?

Anyway, I mentioned some on my original post. There are ways, but so far there have been tradeoffs in terms of ease of gaming or transaction volume. Blockchains aren't magic and have their own trade offs. That said I'm always interested to read about new systems working to mitigate those.

Reading only a little about handshake, I haven't yet seen anything that nudges me otherwise. Blockchains also make having light clients very difficult or otherwise they need to use another service tondo the heavy lifting. There are some references that handshake doesn't, so I'm interested to read further.

This part from https://handshake.org/files/handshake.txt does concern me, though:

Thanks for clarifying. There are a few that are great to get pre-ground like onion/garlic powder and paprika, which are a little harder to replicate at home and have a different flavour profile than their fresh counterparts. I do need to try and branch out more with whole spices in the future though.

I really like curries, but it's one of the dishes I haven't made much effort to do properly at home yet (my recent Japanese curry doesn't count because they use English-style curry powder).

Too much local filtering can end up really polarizing people though. You can slowly (soft) censor the news yourself just based on what you click on, and not necessarily realize that you are getting increasingly biased information. Perhaps there is some good way to balance showing opposing news sources with the personalization.
According to [1], "the normal concentration of uranium in soil is 300 μg/kg to 11.7 mg/kg." According to [2], the density of topsoil ranges from 1,100 to 2,500 kg/m^3. One acre is about 4,000 m^2, so a conservative estimate is that there is about 1.3 kg of uranium in 1 meter of top soil on a 1 acre lot. (4000 m^3 * 1100 kg/m^3 * 3x10^-7). That's just the low end - taking the midway point for both yields over 40kg (4000 m^3 * 1800 kg/m^3 * 6 mg/kg).

I didn't realize people were working on this new type of "RNA/DNA" vaccine - it sounds really fascinating that you can make the body develop the weakened disease, instead of injecting it, so creating the vaccine itself is a lot faster.

It also sounds kind of scary..making my body "grow" the disease. How do they control how long my body will keep producing this antigen for?

This argument is very much the same as saying “just don’t install spyware” and literally proves the point that neither store is trustworthy.

On Android you too have this featureset, though the settings app is very limited and also has the same problem as OP mentioned. Just look at whatsapp, constantly trying to launch all other facebook apps in the background (verify this with a freezing app).

On Android (or AOSP, Omni, Lineage and the like) you at least have fdroid as an alternative.

Which is kind of my point. The layman isn't going to get the meaning of 'personal server', but the term itself is too broad for the technically proficient.

Like describing ios as 'windows on a phone'. The interaction models are completely different, and so to are softwares that most people would want to use on or is even available for it.

Nothing about Urbit as I understand it is fundamentally alien to most developers save its nomenclature, and the way it's architected. But without that base of knowledge, the advantages and limitations of its model - and by extension its applications, are hard to wrap your head around.

> my landlord and my city are both subject to laws from a national government, and if they're egregiously misbehaving, the national government can step in, but they usually don't

On the other hand, your city is also subject to its constituents, who care more about what happens there than people in the nation's capital do, so you already have a mechanism to hold them to account when they misbehave. (And the city has jurisdiction over the local landlords.)

Meanwhile, what do you do if the national government is doing something that ruins your life, but there aren't enough similarly situated people to get them to stop? If it was only a city you could at least move.

> if I switch landlords, let alone cities, my address changes

This is costly. It could still be less costly than having nowhere to hide from policies that cause you significant harm, which makes the availability of that option very valuable.

> I can choose a landlord and to a lesser extent a city by reputation, but I might end up choosing a city because it's where I want to be for business etc. reasons, even if I disagree with its leadership choices

It's all trade offs. If you really want to be there for business reasons and mildly dislike their policies then you might go there anyway. If there are minor business reasons they're preferable but their policies make your life unlivable you might go somewhere else. This is still better than having the unlivable policies imposed nationally, whereupon you would choose your location for business reasons (because the ruinous policy is everywhere), but still have a worse life than having to move to avoid bad policies, because then you'd at least have actually avoided them.

> I have limited ability to influence my city's decision-making and essentially no ability to influence my nation's decision-making, but it's not unheard of

It's not a binary matter of impossibility, it's a matter of difficulty level. Getting your city to do something is a lot easier than getting your whole country to do it, and they're more likely to be receptive to local problems because a larger percentage of their constituents are affected by them.

> Which all seems very similar to having a choice of registrar, limited choice of TLD/registry, no choice in ICANN, the theoretical (and practical, in this case) ability to influence ICANN, and the ability to change registrars and TLDs if I like.

It's not the wrong analogy, the question is how much (if any) of the authority actually has to be in ICANN. You could in theory give them no power at all, or have them not exist, and rest control of each gTLD entirely with its respective registrar.

I could even turn it around and say that the problem here is that the .org registry is itself too centralized and once it delegates a name to someone it should cease to be under the registrar's control and become permanently under the control of the domain owner, so that who owns .org would only matter to new registrants and not existing ones who already have their delegations.
It was that way prior to 2005 and everything was fine.

Australian here. I just watched the curry and bolognese videos. Although I'm vegan and hate recipes with meat, I laughed out loud, a lot. Loved it. Can't wait to play them for my household. Just yesterday I was planning to make a home cooking series featuring the housemates, dammit! Too late..

As for whether he's a typical Aussie.. I have met people who talk pretty much like this. Probably none who are good cooks though.

I had a German friend here who had a very fat book of Australian colloquialisms he was learning, but I hadn't heard 95% of them. Full of stuff like "dry as a dead dingo's donger". You hear them much more in country Australia I think.

About 10 years ago our Prime Minister was widely mocked for saying "fair shake of the sauce bottle", when everyone knows it's a fair suck – a failed attempt to talk like an average Australian.
