  • Three months into Australia’s world-first social media ban for under-16s, has it been a success?

    Jump

  • And don’t think for a second just because you’re a parent that you know more, because you haven’t grown up with these things in your life.

    I have grown up with social media in my life... Granted my kids are very young...

    I think this ban has created more problems than it solves.

    I think they should be looking more at the social structures that have made it more and more difficult for kids to socialise in person...

  • Finally fixing capital gains tax is good – but linking it to another tax cut for Australia’s rich is bollocks | Greg Jericho

  • To me, that sounds like the risk you should have to take if you're accepting shares as payment and holding onto them. The inital tax makes sense because it is effectively an income, then that value used as a benchmark for legitimate capital gains makes sense too. If it goes down then that's just a loss due to the shares decreasing in value... You could always just sell them off when they vest...

  • Privacy respecting alternative to airtags

    Jump

  • I think you must be confusing things or were told a lie. Bluetooth is a standard that is definitely not designed to be able to work like that. NFC is designed to work with thin tags that don't have a battery. Essentially they get power wirelessly from your phone in order to be able to send information. But, due to the inverse square law, you would need extreme amounts of power to be able to do that over a long range, so it just isn't something that could work with mobile phones.

  • Brother, that's a driver bit... I hope you don't try to drill with those bits.

  • We accepted control at expense of convenience

    I would have thought it would be more accurate to say we accepted convenience at the expense of privacy and security...

  • Why would the ATO care? Purple Pingers' list might actually help it become occupied.

  • So removing an option is somehow increasing choices?

  • I was really trying to come from a helpful place. I did say detransitioning was very rare (twice to try to emphasise it). I thought it was important to talk about because it's one of the first things I thought about and had to research when my son transitioned to alleviate my own concerns.

    I don't completely remember where I got that SA idea from (I know I didn't make it up). But, I can't verify it now, so I am happy to be corrected on that.

  • Yeah, a bit rich from her. But, that doesn't excuse them excluding her.

  • You're probably going to have to find out for yourself if you want to join someone on the inside. The whole point is that if anyone is disrupting things from within, they're doing it secretly. So no one is able to name them publicly, otherwise they would be removed instantly.

  • Science Keeps Changing. So Why Should We Trust It?

  • People seem to hate the title but hopefully it lures in some ignorant people who would ask that and teach them why science changing is a good thing.

  • I heard an interview with a woman who tried to commit suicide. She was having lots of suicidal thoughts without actually planning to do anything, like you are. But, one day something happened and suddenly she decided that was it. I think she took a lethal dose of pills and she was just lucky someone happened to find her before it was too late. I think that's a very common sequence of events.

    She now really regrets trying to do that and works to try to prevent other people from committing suicide.

    I've also been there, thinking about it without actually ever planning to... I regret not getting therapy sooner.

    My point is this is actually serious and therapy may help you enjoy life more. What's the point in living if you're not enjoying it? Why not do what you can to make it more enjoyable? And maybe it would prevent you from doing something really regrettable.

    I think you should at least call a hotline and explain your feelings to someone who knows about this stuff professionally. I've heard they get a lot of calls that are much less important and they're still happy to help.
