He's has said similar things of Macron. It's just Australia came to the table a bit later, so his latest round of vitriol is more targeted at us.
"I say to President Macron, Prime Minister Carney and Prime Minister Starmer: when mass murderers, rapists, baby killers and kidnappers thank you, you're on the wrong side of justice"
You're on the wrong side of humanity and you're on the wrong side of history.
The loss of a cultural icon, and what a beautiful life at that. He left all of us wanting more--which I guess is as good an impact as any of us can hope for in our lives.
I agree we should be putting our indigenous people front and centre of our commercials. It would feel lest scummy if we could do that a bit more with our overall culture. The article uses NZ as an example, but they're considerably further along than we are when it comes indigenous issues (IMO).
I'm not so sure about the rest of it though. In the '80s we tried to market Australia as sophisticated and modern, and it was a flop. Tourists visit countries because of romantic ideals, not because ads are truthful. What would be a more a appealing ad for Paris?
A) Thriving tech hubs and business centres
B) Cycling through the Marais with a baguette and a bottle of champaign (with not another tourist in sight)
Likewise, tourists aren't visiting Australia because they want to embrace the multicultural suburbs in our larger cities. They want to see what they can't see at home. If we were making ads trying to get skilled migration, then sure--sell the cities. But for tourism, its BBQs on deserted beaches.
You're both agreeing on the same thing, but arguing over it's extent. You both believe that Israel has a large amount of influence outside of its borders, and it uses that influence to enact its will.
Control is more than influence. Control implies they can issue orders, impose binding conditions and have formal decision making authority over another country's actions. Israel's influence is softer than that. In practice, perhaps, Israel has a de facto control over other countries. But even then it will be a stretch as that generally implies a puppet state.
I think pro-invasion proponents are looking for reasons to label any criticism as anti-semitic. Using language such as this gives them that reason.
I was taught to admire Churchill. I stopped admiring him when I started to see a pattern of sacrificing others for his own vanity. Esp in WW1, but also during peacetime too.
However I will never fault him for standing up to the Nazi expansion of Europe. Fuck fascists. Nazis, Christian Nationalists, or otherwise.
Maybe there's more to it, but I really don't get the last note about Tidal: Essentially, if you use Tidal, you should know the CEO is has a large ego and is a crypto bro.
I'm sure he's very annoying, but I'm not inviting him to my house for dinner.
I'm a dev and I think my experience is mostly similar to yours. Where AI seems to work well, is when the boundaries of the problem are very well defined. For example : "Take this C++ implementation of the LCS algorithm and convert it to JS". That would have taken me a few hours at least, but AI appears to have nailed it. However, anything where a large amount of context is needed and it starts to fail fast, and suggest absolutely insane things. I have turned of copilot on my IDE because it slows me down, but I will still ask questions to chatgpt when I have a specific problem I think it can help me with. I also will ask pointed questions when I review other dev's code, and my expectation is the author can explain why they wrote it.
Not an expert either but I’ve been to rallies with a conservative estimate of 30k and this was easily several times larger from only what I could see.
The police actually asked people to stay put and await further instructions. Apparently their plan was to stagger the crowd back. But one people couldn’t progress north any further every one just turned back anyway. It was all quite orderly, thankfully.
I use authentik and like it. The learning curve isn’t that steep so not a lot of wasted investment if you decide to ditch it for something else. No password flow with webauthn is pretty cool.
I tried Kagi because I was excited by the hype and would gladly pay a fee for superior search thats not google. But, my experience wasn't great:
Couldn't reliably give me local results. E.g., searching for "pizza near me" would render results from a combination of my local city, Sydney and those in Singapore.
UI needs some basic improvements. Rules of font spacing for starters.
It was slow. like at least 500 ms for me to get a page of results, even though I was pretty sure it was using my closest AWS region.
I hope this doesn't come off as too negative--I don't want to be disparaging. Contrarily, I would love to hear your thoughts as a supporter of the platform. It could be that I was using it wrong, or theres some mitigating features that I missed. As I said, I would gladly pay to not be the product.
Same here, I would rarely see a satellite and mostly only during dusk. Two nights ago I was participating in a star gazing activity as par of a birthday party and it's busy up there now
Nice artwork. You don’t happen to know the name of the artist?
