You're getting clicks, they're going to the moon and there's a lot of people on Earth who would happily take any tradeoff for that.

This was 6-8x the size all the existing trades on market combined, with zero other publicly available information early on a Monday morning 15 mins before an announcement that significantly moved the market.

Not even the biggest hedge funds in the world with coked up yolo traders go make 1.5 billion dollar bets like that, it simply doesn't happen.

It's egregious and blatant insider trading. The position got closed not long after the news came out.

The Pentagon, much like everyone else, will only want to use the best model available though.

Outright dismissal like this should be judged as harshly as the comment itself.

Knative on k8s works well for us, there's some oddities about it but in general does the job

I get that cross platform desktop app is a complicated beast but it gives off those creepy npm vibes.

I have lived there and can rattle off plenty of criticisms about the country but complaining about migrant workers who clamour to work in SG is not one of them.

The vast majority of Singapore migrant workforce are Malaysian citizens who live over the border in JB, you can rent a 2 bed apartment there for $300 a month and eat out in a restaurant for $2 while commuting each day to a developed country and earn those level of wages.

To pretend these people have a rough deal compared to back home is absurd and I'd challenge anyone to actually talk to them first before getting on your high horse. Ask them if they would prefer to work in their home country.

It's also eating a significant amount of your compute and memory

Oh wow, so uh... I'm managing around 1000 nodes over 6 clusters, alone. There's others able to handle things when I'm not around or on leave and meticulously updated docs for them to do so but in general am the only one touching our infra.

I also do dev work the other half of the week for our company.

Ask your boss if he needs a hand :)

Can people please not listen to this terrible advice that gets repeated so oft, especially in Australian IT circles somehow by young naive folks.

You really need to talk to your accountant here.

It's probably under 25% in deduction at double the median wage, little bit over @ triple, and that's *only* if you are using the device entirely for work, as in it sits in an office and nowhere else, if you are using it personally you open yourself up to all sorts of drama if and when the ATO ever decides to audit you for making a $6k AUD claim for a computing device beyond what you normally to use to do your job.

Lo and behold:

>A six-month trial of driverless trucks on public Victorian roads has been put on hold just hours before it was meant to begin after the transport union labelled it “shambolic” and “sneaky”

> "the futures of our truck drivers are jeopardised due to this poorly executed plan."

> “It’s unacceptable that these trials are being pushed by corporations that continue to disadvantage our hard-working mums and dads that work day in, day out to carry Victorians.”

Now this sounds far more like the Australia I know.

Looks like the entire trial was scrapped due to union pressure and never resumed. Same reason we can't even have Driver-Only Operation on NSW trains, despite specifically purchasing DOO trains that operate safely worldwide.

Anyone can read that site and make up their minds about the scientific merit of it's claims.

I assume it's very intentional that it's right down the bottom in tiny text that's it state government owned media vehicle

"Our team screened 1,317 articles and reports as well as dissertations from masters and PhD students. We identified 22 studies that examined schools before and after phone bans."

"Our research found four studies that identified a slight improvement in academic achievement when phones were banned in schools. However, two of these studies found this improvement only applied to disadvantaged or low-achieving students."

"In a sign of just how little research there is on this topic, 12 of the studies we identified were done by masters and doctoral students. This means they are not peer-reviewed"

Do you really want to keep wasting people's times here because I'm more than happy to debate it with someone who actually cares.

Nothing in that article suggests it's of overwhelming benefit. I'm talking much bigger than teachers having an easier job too, education outcomes like this take decades to be seen.

Mate you've spammed us all with the first things you've found on google. Correct?

You definitely need a source for that comment given that it only just happened.

Smartphones are neutral pieces of technology. It can create the next Einstein or radicalise the next terrorist, the 1's and 0's don't mind.

Why not ban them at universities also? Are these kids suddenly protected the moment they leave high school?

Like your opinion I have my own, and banning smartphones in Australian high schools will turn out to be overwhelmingly negative for outcomes. I predict it will be reversed and looked back upon as a failure.

Khan academy taught me more than dozens of different teachers. Kids are now blocked from accessing it for their entire time at school and when they would be most intruiged to learn.

Just like terrible having internet, Australians seem intent on being left behind in a hypercompetitive world.

Unreal that you can't see the obvious logical flaw in this argument.

Can you name one digital nomad visa that has been scrapped in the last year or two?

I can name a few dozen that have been implemented.

When I started in 2017 there was maybe 3 or 4 places you could move on Earth with a six figure USD salary as a remote worker, it was always a grey zone to go places on tourist visas but that's how people rolled and countries knew how good a deal it was for them compared to raising/educating/supporting locals so let it slide. There's over 70 legal valid options now for remote workers in 2025.

The easily proven evidence doesn't stack up with the narrative people and newspapers likes the Guardian are trying to push for clicks.

I personally couldn't care less if locals don't like me. My own countrymen are jealous about me having a good paying remote job too.

Assumed it was somewhere in that region because my European friends usually talk about it. Personally find it bizarre because the few thousand digital nomads are barely moving the needle compared to tourism or normal migration. It comes across as people getting very upset about a minor issue because they have rigid ideological views that prevent them from touching the main one. A convenient scapegoat but nothing will change in the slightest if the Portugese DN visa is scrapped.

You've created the easiest pathway to a EU passport and then wonder why the planet flocks there.

The simple solution here is to build enough housing to meet demand.
